In reply to The Lemming:
> Anybody care to explain why UKIP did so well at the ballots?
Because rather than vote for the tories who demonise and attack the most vulnerable in UK society; the poor, elderly and disabled, people now prefer to vote for UKIP who in addition want to demonise and attack foreigners and the European Union as well.
Rather than being better together, people are voting for separation.
The UK Independence Party say it would give the Navy 70 new ships and set aside 90 billion for building nuclear power stations but they cannot even explain where this money would come from. Nor, does the UK Independence Party say what the effect of separation from the EU would have on the economy, trade, currency, national security etc.
The type of discrimination the UKIP promote is becoming socially acceptable. It is convenient to blame and to discriminate against foreigners rather than face up to the real problems of capitalist austerity and a corrupt banking system.
Farage smiles at the camera and he can put the public at ease, he makes the voters think it is normal and 'ok' to express anti foreign views.
Cameron once said UKIP were 'closet racists'. Now the torie voters defected to UKIP will he call them all racists ?
No, instead he will introduce state pension reforms that mean if, heaven forbid, you were to pass away after having paid NI for the best part of your life, you can now be rest assured that if your partner devoted his/her life to raising your family she/he will be left to rot in poverty by the state.
But rather than focus on the fact that everyone in the UK will now be worse of as a result of the reforms the tories want to boast to the public that there will no longer be 'foreign people' receiving a UK pension. A classic example of creating an enemy where there is none whilst robbing and conning the public with yet another austerity measure.
Lastly I do hope people realise that the UK Independence Party deny the existence of global warming and believe bicycles should have tax disks.
