OK so where's the user delete button for when your new tablet decides to about and post things three times ?

there isn't one, not when someone has commented, just have to take it on the chin sir!#

posting the same thing a few times is less objectionable to clearly being a troll with an agenda, ala Dally.

You are assuming that the UPRIK councillor will actually turn up, debate and vote. That, given UPRIK's previous in democratic engagement, is a pretty substantial leap of faith

I thought you were just accurately reproducing the decision making process within a local council.

You log on with your moderator account and do the clean up

IMO this attempt by the establishment to demonize UKIP only egged on people who hate the establishment to vote for them! I know several people who normally don't bother voting turning out to vote and 'stick two fingers up' at the main three parties. I don't know anybody personally who voted for any of the 'main three' parties.

I see that democracy in action has given UKIP a considerable number of MEP's.

I doubt that those who voted for them can see the irony of their actions.

But in a democracy they have a right to be elected and take their one trick pony policies to the parliament and discuss them. Far more civilised than trying to kill people.

As I stated in another post, IMO, UKIP is an insect bite that is an irritant for a short time and then it disappears.
No matter all the bluster, media fawning etc. will change that.

I sense that UKIP voters may actually have done politics in this country a great service without them realising why.

The point is people are disaffected from Europe and are struggling to see the benefits Europe brings - wrongly in my view.

Leaving Europe would be a mistake IMO but this is what happens when you have the quality of politicians we have and the general lack of interest and gravitas in this area.

You don't 'stick 2 fingers up at the establishment' by voting for a bunch of racist, mysoginistic chancers. Anyone who voted UKIP is either a racist or a moron. No exceptions.

Edit: Well, I suppose they could be both. In fact that's quite likely really.

Far better would be to open up "the books" to all political leaders and "shadow" chancellors for constant appraisal and then have them base their policies and manifestos on true figures and forecasts rather than have the old chestnut excuse of "We didn't realise it was this bad until we got into power" or "We've had to spend a lot more than we imagined just to fix what the previous government did".

Its beyond belief that public money can be spent in a way that only a few people in government have access to - by all means put your political beliefs into practice but lets see the plans and have others make sure that they are viable, affordable and open to consultation - and more importantly, fixable by the next government if it all goes wrong.

But just think of the benefits if UKIP did get some electoral power.
We could build a modern day Maginot Line around the whole of our British coastals waters.
We could even have castle and moats and things?

...and we won't have to extend it beyond Berwick because the Scots will soon be paying for their own, some rolls of barbledy wire on top of Hadrians Wall and jobs a good'un.

Whats the salary like for one of the new Farage Border Agents, I fancy the stretch of coastline in Newton Bay Northumberland, give me a uniform, a gun and a deckchair and I'll do five shifts a week sitting on the beach waiting to repel "immigrunts" and then retire to The Ship Inn behind me to quaff a few ales in true Farage style.
