UKIP supporters

[silver fox]

Just a thought, how do UKIP supporters feel now that their leader is shown to be a liar and fantasist and their main donor is a callous, arrogant, ignorant, moron.

Any hope of a sensible reply?

Agree entirely, just hoping to drag some UKIPPERS out into the daylight, they have all been fond of blackening any and everybody who doesn't march to their tune, yet their band leaders aren't fit to herd sheep, let alone lead a political movement or people.

I'd have thought they were all the requirements for the job and a perfect reflection of their membership.

Again must agree, just want to see a UKIPPER defend the situation.

There are certain questions that they never actually answer. I suspect that this is one of them. Whilst I accept arguments around the emotional response to sovereignty and the cost and inefficiency of the EU institutions, I have still never had a sensible response to the question :

"Name one piece of bureaucratic legislation that we would want to repeal (having checked references to straightness of bananas on SNOPES)."

They certainly never answer questions about the elite nature of the leaders of UKIP and certainly the funders. They might not be metropolitan liberals, but they are certainly "elite" by any other measures. There is only one credible UKIP politician, their only MP and they all hate him. Which I guess as a house flipping (MP expenses etc.) Tory, educated at Charterhouse, ex-banker, it is not particularly surprising.

Rant over

[Toodles McGinty]

Whilst not wanting to be flippant, the title of the thread and the original post really answers the question.

When describing the leader and the main donor, you are really describing the membership. A coarser version of the 'Alt-Right', displaying similar opinions, ambitions and principals.

We can all find some values from any political party which we can support, but unfortunately supporting any party means we buy into the package, for me the negatives far outweigh any positives from either Tories or UKIP.

As a matter of interest what UKIP values do you support?

Exit from the EU possibly, then what?

What a turn up for the books, the biggest snowflake of all turns out to be the skinhead leader of UKIP

[Albion102]

Its gone very quiet on the kipper front on here after their historic by-election result. Attracting working class labour voters my a**e.

[Ceam]

To be fair, UKIP don't need to get elected, They appear to have enough power without needing to actually be in power.

*snowflake* is an insult.

I am inclined to feel relief that UKIP did not gain a seat despite Labours failures.

Labour secured a 2,620 majority but its vote share fell by around 2%, while Ukip's went up by the same amount.

Firstly Hamble, I apologise for any offence I caused using a word that, in another context is very offensive to Jewish people.

However, the word is widely used by the right to describe over-sensitive people and is a metaphor for the delicacy of an actual snowflake. The link to the holocaust was made by PC liberals (as it happens) to attribute the comment as an anti-semitic insult.

I had no idea of the link to the word as an anti -semitic insult until your post prompted me to look it up.

No apology needed to me Albion as non insult taken.

I do feel it is an insult to a 'white' person only hence I am uncomfortable
with that.

The web is saturated with views on the word and origin.
I used this link to understand.
