I had to have a look at my calendar, I thought it was April 1st.

This man is a fool.

A plonker indeed!

grin Time to send for the men in white coats.

He has really lost the plot! What an idiot.

C & P'd from the article "He really needs to consider his position."

No, he really needs to consider if he should be allowed out alone!

I am not against a lot of UKIP statements but I would never vote for them in a general election.

I remember Godfrey B loom on Daily Politics and he was being challenged by a Labour MEP, can't remember her name. Basically she was saying UKIP don't agree with anything the European Parliament do but they never vote against it or show their faces. Bloom being the arrogant person he is said that was true they were always in the champagne bar. confused.

Mind you I thought then he was a t--s pot but I do not agree that his 'Sluts' comment was anything other than a joke and no more than an off the cuff comment some of us would make in fun on here.

What a scary thought, that someone with beliefs like this has any power of influence in any area at all. Homophobic idiot.

Pogs - sadly Ukip seems to have attract rather more than its share of bigots

Very 17th century.

If this lot are ever elected we'll be seeing expense claims, not for floating duck houses but for ducking stools instead.

Iam64 Sun 19-Jan-14 09:27:14

Aka - great image, grin

They do seem to attract a motley bunch of misfits as candidates don't they.
That chap who went on Have I got News for You for instance who was the party treasurer, famed for his sexist pronouncements (women are not suited for the board of directors of a company etc).
The least funny HIGNFY ever as the woman on the other panel got increasingly tight lipped with fury. And Wheeler not funny anyway - he was invited on to be mocked.

AlieOxon Sun 19-Jan-14 09:48:14

I saw this one. And wondered what the editors left out!

rosesarered Sun 19-Jan-14 20:51:30

UKIP may [or may not] be odd, funny, peculiar etc but they are also dangerous not harmless fools.The worry is that they will get a foot in the door of Parliament and we will all be sorry.

AlieOxon Sun 19-Jan-14 21:10:12

I agree here.

Ana Sun 19-Jan-14 21:14:35

Why will we be sorry? Surely we don't all buy into the 'leave Europe and we'll be doomed...' argument?

Nonu Sun 19-Jan-14 21:25:36

I FOR ONE DO NOT

MiceElf Sun 19-Jan-14 21:35:58

I've just had God on the line. She blamed UKIP for the idiots that run the country and are doing their best to destroy cherished institutions. She LOVES weddings and said to remind everyone that heaven is an inclusive, multi cultural green and pleasant land, and that those who found that uncomfortable would have a VERY hard time settling down there.

POGS Sun 19-Jan-14 21:46:39

Pardon. confused

Ana Sun 19-Jan-14 22:04:55

I think it's supposed to be ironic, POGS...hmm

Aka Sun 19-Jan-14 22:33:24

MiceElf .. just one small point god cannot possibly be a woman.

Gracesgran Sun 19-Jan-14 23:26:37

MiceElf: love it.

Aka: I'm fascinated. Why not?

margaretm74 Sun 19-Jan-14 23:37:12

God the Father perhaps? Bit difficult if She's a female

Joan Mon 20-Jan-14 00:23:57

Back to the OP: you have to wonder how such idiots get elected. His stupidity must have been evident before.
