They'll be playing darts and pool with their ilk in the Fascist League. UKIP A 7, UKIP B 2.

Scott, if you have a brain transplant you'll be in the Guiness Book Of Records with Smegson for surviving it. Well done, I take my hat off to you.
Can I watch?

I bet you will be standing at the bar in a month, saying" that UKIP sell good beer " not like that Labour crap.

Scott, no offence but Working Men's Clubs and the like are as dead as Nigel Farage's fashion sense. I don't see how UKIP or any other political party could really expect them to make money or attract new members. The great selling point of such clubs used to be that the beer was cheaper and there were various social events like Pool, Snooker and Darts teams plus (in many clubs) a live artist on a Saturday night. But today people don't socialise that way, most especially the young and if you turn to a current 18-25 year old and mention the local con/lab/social club they'll wrinkle their nose and tell you it's the place where their granddad goes if they know what you're talking about at all.

For me this is one of UKIP's biggest problems. They're absolutely obsessed with "The Good Old Days" and talk about them in glowing terms to describe an era that never actually existed outside the pages of a book or on a cinema screen.

I saw Farage do his "pub" thing, sipping a brown beer in a "local" and it was so contrived and so old I was surprised he didn't got to the village green to watch a Morris Dance before playing for the village cricket team. Then he would pop on his driving gloves, jump behind the wheel of his Austin Seven and drive home to his thatch roofed cottage in the Home Counties.

Maybe it's time someone told UKIP this is the 21st century, the empire is dead and the "good old days" never happened much less are on their way back. Perhaps we should do it using a crystal set radio, he probably has one in his living room after all.

In ten years time UKIP will be bigger than labour, their leader might be PM by then, who knows?

The only way is up for the fastest growing party in British history.

You clearly haven't visited Norfolk recently Peter. It's the 1950's here. 
This is Aylsham.

Fastest growing in what way?

UKIP
No Leader
No Policies
No MP's bar 1
No Morals
No ideas 
No Europe to bash

No chance

Scott which UKIP policies aside from the EU appeal to you? Genuine question.

You've mistakenly typed "genuine" there when you meant "rhetorical".

Easy mistake.

Immigration - we need a points system like Australia, we need to say who comes in.

Fund extra on NHS - more doctors and nurses etc etc.

End the Zero hour contracts.

Nobody can enter our county with a criminal record.

We can deport at the drop of a hat.

St George's and St David's day - Bank holiday.

They pledged £12 billion to the NHS - same as the Tories and far below what's actually needed (although still the best of any party at the last election, Miliband should be ashamed). A number of their MPs have spoken openly about privatisation though so I'd doubt they'd keep such a promise if they get were to get  to power.

Aaron banks was on Marr earlier, he indicated that if Leadsom got in UKIP would merge back into the Tories. Thought it was interesting. He also spoke of their plans to go after working class Labour voters, be interesting to see how they do that apart from immigration.

UKIP have no interest in the NHS and will terminate It!
Zero hour contracts will never be abolished as long as there are workers to exploit.
You need to read manifestos to fully understand what various parties stand for.
You are not on your own expecting zero hour contracts to go, one half wit I know voted Brexit purely because his daughter was on one and believes they will become illegal. If anything they'll become more prominent as the pips are squeezed to their extreme!

1.  For non-EU citizens we currently have a points based system and lets not forget that non-EU migrants make up more than 60% of all migrants that entered the UK in the last 12 months  (in other words far more that EU-based migrants) - so even that doesn't seem to work!!!

2. Nigel, Paul et al have all said on camera and an be easily found on Youtube where they want a US style insurance based medical system - where if you have money you can dies in a hospital and if you don't have money you can dies on the streets.  As it is over the last 6 years more than 10billion extra has already been given and more to come - although as UKIP and other Brexiters promised £350million/week (which was impossible from the start) - then that will NEVER happen due to all other causes and the interest payments on the National Debt

3. Zero hours contracts is a US device for casual labour.  Just as long as people accept Zero Hours contracts or just want some form of casual labour that suits their needs then they will not disappear

4. That already happens and it is all based on how dangerous the people are.  Before anyone, and that means EU citizens, can enter the UK they need to give their passport details - the security services then do background checks, along with help from our friends in foreign security services.  Once arrived at passport control and are an undesirable then they are not allowed into the UK.  For non-EU citizens these checks are done when applying for Visa's entering the UK.

5. We cannot deport at the drop of a hat.  For non-EU citizens it is virtually impossible to deport due treaties that are in place, or should I ay lack of treaties in place with regards to deporting people.

For EU -citizens it has just become far easier to deport (even imprisoned criminals) to back to their home countries thanks to various changes within the law from Europol - yes the same laws we are going to lose when we leave the EU!!!

6.  If you think that any Government is going to give any extra Bank Holidays in the UK - then you are sadly mistaken as it mean losses for companies and the economy.  In Fact Westminster want to reduce the number of Bank Holidays we have - and we have the least number in Europe (and that is only England as Wales, Scotland and Northernj Ireland all have at least 1 extra day than us!)
