On reflection, I wonder whether this guy is American. Because, in USA-speak, 'pavement' means the carriageway, i.e. the bit cars go on...

Or - perhaps not. I wouldn't attribute this sort of lunacy even to the Tea Party.

Ah, the great Spode. He would be standing for UKIP today I hope I get a visit from a UKIP canvasser in the run up to May. We'll have an interesting conversation

And 12% of Charnwood's population are forecast to vote for this idiot? Yikes. What does that say about Britain?... ...hc

Indeed!
It's disheartening to think that 12% of Charnwood voters are equally idiotic .

Just remember, UKIP are a real threat to the political status quo in the country.
The political establishment will use every opportunity to discredit UKIP in the run up to the election.

But this is UKIP discrediting themselves.

If voting made a difference, they would have banned it by now!

I notice that Al Murray in his guise as the Pub Landlord is standing against a UKIPer ( http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jan/14/nigel-farage-pub-landlord-al-murray )*

This I think is rather a mistake on Al's part as despite him being a professional comedian of some note, I don't think that he can hold a touch to the comedic genius of UKIP!

* please don't read anything into the fact that I linked to the G, it was the first one to come up on google

Who was that said " UKIP is a hole made for dense people to fall into".

I don't know but s/he was spot on in that assumption
The worrying thing is that there's a lot of dense people about ,an estimated 12% in Charnwood alone.
It's what happens when established parties loose contact with the man on the street.It creates a void for radical and outlandish ideas and views to flourish,especially when the electorate is at best interested only in self and at worst downright stupid!

Different tyoe of comedy though. Stand up vs farce.

Be Afraid .... Be Very Afraid!!!!


Which is of course the message of the political establishment. Be afraid of Change. Be Afraid of what the Plebs might desire ... be afraid of wha might happen if we step outside of the political norms,,


Be aware that yu might not agree with the democratic majority before you support democracy.

OR...

Be happy that your own views are correct - but are you convinced you have the right to oppose them on others? That's what Hitler (and Ghenghis and Stalin and Henry viii) believed

Yesterday cycling home from the shops, I was nearly forced off the road by car that pulled out of a side junction and drove at my to get round a parked car. When I called out that they could have waited the car stopped and the passenger amid a some abuse told me to get off the road and ride on the pavement. Given that I was riding an 8' long bakfiets long john cargo bike I don't think their suggestion was really practical. I doubt the majority of pedestrians would agree with them either. Unfortunately what I actually replied with was a return of abusive language. Not the best response but probably the only one they would have understood. I expect they will be voting UKIP - if they vote at all and are literate enough to write an X.

The reality is motorists want us off the road and pedestrians don't want us there either.
