I'm tempted by Nigel Farage !

Where do we go with this immigrant thing? Apart from the Celts are we all immigrants? And what happens if Scotland become independent? Will any Scots who want to move to other parts of the UK be considered immigrants?
I am sure most of us have immigrant ancestors if we do our research. Integration is the key thing and sometimes it takes a generation who have been through the school system in a country before this happens. Australia is a prime example of this.

I'll be glad when this thread disappears as it makes me jump when I see anyone admitting to being 'tempted' by Nigel Farage.

As you were!!

Same here, kitty! Not 'tempted by UKIP' but Nigel himself, apparently!

All teeth and temptation! as they used to say.

Which party leader would you most like to spend an evening in the pub with?
or With which etc etc

Just remembering the Bakeoff, where Bec was the contestant people would most like to go to the pub with even though she didn't win. And Nigel is not going to win either.

Definitely Nigel rather than Cameron, Clegg or Miliband!

I don't want to spend an evening in the pub with a party leader. I don't want a new best friend; I want a competent, intelligent and honest politician doing a competent, intelligent and honest job.

My opinion of him has gone up slightly since he said we should take some of the Syrian refugees. Would never vote for UKIP though. Not enough sound policies generally. And I'm still not at all sure they, or their followers, are n't a bit national front like. Or at least Little Englanders.

I think the three main leaders do their best Absent. I would trust any one of them.

And anyway, that wasn't the question, Absent

I thought she meant which party leader would I most like to spend an evening in the pub with Ana. Silly me.

Umm. Absent was only following on from the previous post!

(She will now say she doesn't need me putting in a word for her [hmm)

X posts there

I don't, but thank you anyway jingl.

Well, that's me put in my place (again!).

I'd have a drink with almost anyone BUT a party leader!

Fair enough! But if you had to choose?
Clegg - no! Cameron - don't bring the kids! Miliband - ditto!
Farage - do not mention politics and we could have a fun and boozy evening. Can't have an evening without mentioning immigration etc?? OK I think we could have a row discussion about my ancestors - and yours? Farage doesn't sound very, er English. Or Celtic?

Quite, rosequartz - do we all have to take ourselves and everything else so seriously on here all the time these days?

Never mind the kids, the main leaders would be so boring! Nige knows he has no chance of winning an election so could actually be quite fun!

Just for an evening, Ana! Strictly a drink, absolutely no snogging (referring back to OP of course! )
(Sorry, had one too many glasses of wine)

Good grief, certainly no snogging!

Actually, I'd really like the chance to have a good talk with Clegg- about coalition politics, proportional representation and see-saw politics linked to first past the post system. I am sure he is a really nice guy and very interesting- but he just can't win... in the UK.

UKIP may get more votes than Lib-dems next time, granjura. So much for proportional representation, they may be backtracking on that idea.

I heard Cameron speak when he was Shadow Education minister. He said quite clearly he was proud of and valued state education and the professionalism of teachers. Liar , liar pants on fire...so no drink with him!

Farage would probably make crass comments and jokes about minorities / women and say..'it's only a joke' ... and say he really was not racist or sexist.. Liar , liar pants on fire...so no drink with him!

Milliband & Clegg would be so earnest and over thoughtful that it would be all a bit dull an tedious.... yawn , yawn you have nothing clear to say... so no drink with them!

Bennett I know little about ..so I could find out if the Greens have any other policies other than the one their name suggests! Chat, chat, have you got a viable party...so maybe a drink withn Natalie Bennett

Whenever I find myself beginning to agree with some of the things that Nigel Farage says ( and he is very clever at that) I remember someone describing UKIP as 'the BNP in a blazer' and then I come back to my senses. Had a heated discussion with a friend who was tempted by his rhetoric, asked her what UKIP policies on agriculture, foreign policy, education, environment, education, health, abortion etc. They dont have any. I think I will vote for the 'none of the above' party.
