Have you noticed they're all panicking?

Now it looks like UKIP will do well. It's too late. Thickies don't listen to political broadcasts. Thickies don't read decent papers. They've made their minds up long ago. Hatred of foreigners has always been the Right-wing's message and the easiest to get over to the mentally challenged.

Update:

Patrick. Without checking I can't say what year it was. The EU decided there were too many fishermen. They offered to buy them out if the national governments would pay a smaller percentage; Most governments took up the offer. Margerate Thatcher refused and the British fleet went bust, to have their share bought up, legally and fairly, by other members of the EU.

    UKIP may do well at the EU elections and that's because the canny people of UK know that UKIP will carry the message to Brussels that we want out of the EU since reform is not on the books, at least, not according to Angela Mercurial of Herr Hitlerland.

    You need to get a grip on your concept of the British people - the world's most sophisticated electorate, who, without ever needing to change the rules, managed to vote for a coalition and will probably do the same again.

    Like I say, where I live if you don't vote Labour you may just as well stay at home for all the damn good it will do.

    Also the people of Greenwich are among the most educated our country has got - over 33% of us have a uni education and a degree of one sort or another. So don't imagine we're a bunch of thickies or indeed that I as a common working class bloke with no real education, somehow think that UKIP is the saviour. It is a party full of rightwing nutters and they don't get my vote, ever.

    I come from a very long line of Welsh Puritans, Quakers and Methodists - it's very simple, "Vote Labour or Die".

    And always remember what someone in Athens once said, "The people get the government they deserve."

    Those thickies as you describe them do not have a hatred of foreigners, they have a hatred of a system which forces us to seat more people at the table, but will not supply enough resource to ensure that everyone is looked after properly, those thickies do not want even more people allowed to come here and expect housing, when those that already live here are forced to live in Bed and Breakfast or hostel accommodation because the social housing stock is some 2.5 million below what we already need.

    Those thickies do not like having schools bursting at the seams with children who do not have English as a first language, and the same schools having to set up over sized classes in portacabins in order to cope.

    Those thickies do not like having an additonal 3 million potential users of the NHS, a service that has 25% of its trusts so in debt that they may have to close, they do not like A&E's being closed near their home, due to cost, and having to worry about getting to hospitals as much as 20 Miles away in times of crisis.

    Those thickies do not like EU fishing fleets taking over 80% of our fishing stock, without virtually any regard to looking after it in the long term and meaning that half of our fishing fleet is forced to take less and less in quota, making their future bleak to say the least.

    However, the bright and over educated tories seem ok to misrepresent facts such as the negative impact on UK Jobs by immigrants, which they have been bandying about almost non stop for the last week, a report which is exclusively based upon NON EU MIGRANTS and nothing to do with the issue that UKIP is acitively against.

    UKIP only take issue with EU migration, a migration that we are not allowed to stop, a migration that your educated leaders in the Tory party keep telling their educated followers that they can change, even though Manuel Barrosa an EU chief, and Angela Merkle, have both dismissed the possibility of changing this part of our agreements, the educated ones still believe Cameron and Co.

    Finally, if you base your vote on political broadcasts, you will vote for the party that you heard last, they all sound great, they all sound like they have got all the answers, but, what happens after you fall for their charms and vote for them is what matters. Look at what all these excellent parties have done to the UK for the last 40+ years. If that is the result of good education and understanding, I think it is time for a lobotomy.
