Can you be tolerant of us?

I am 65. I just missed the last big war which was started by xenophobes. To people of my generation 'right-wing' and 'fascist' are insults. People today are proud of voting UKIP. I am glad I will probably miss the results again. Hitler started in the early 1930s. There's time. We baby-boomers sure had it good.

    Quite interesting trolling - it actually fooled some people, as we see here - but your English usage suggests to me that you are an American troll, in which case, please understand, in Tolkien's words, 'this isn't your country, and you're not wanted.'

    And as a real one, I despair for our young people's future, and think we need to rise against the vermin who have wrecked this country since 1979, before it's too late. Our youth might stand a chance if we restored the achievements of the Attlee government - especially NO TUITION FEES - but this time went on to finish the job, with a restored NHS, low cost public sector housing for everyone who needs it, full employment and union membership as a constitutional right and duty, work with dignity and no zero hours contracts, renationalised public services - but this time we nationalise the banks and media too, and send the bankers and hate mail journalists down for 20 years with hard labour - and put Blair, Scameron, Brown and Murdoch in cages in the zoo.

    Facists believed in Dictatorships just like the communists, so both would have been considered on the same wing with socialists, just further out. Right wing and left wing no longer mean what they used to and communism and fascism and socialism are words used to represent ideas that the words were not originally menat to represent so your whole argument is based on a meaning of a word and not the real impact of the ideas. Labels are only good as long as everyone agrees to what the labels mean. That is not true in your question.

    What point are you trying to make - that UKIP are right-wing xenophobes who will develop along the same lines as Hitler?

    No, I like old Nige, he enjoys his pint, and he has finally made the other parties appreciate people's concerns about uncontrolled immigration.

    I don't agree with him on the EU, though, and from what I can see, UKIP don't have any other credible policies.

    PS I'm 65 also, got a nice big pension pot stored up for when I no longer enjoy my job...

    Yes but it would be helpful if you weren't shoving those good times down this generations throats causing more envy.

    Did you make it to Woodstock?

    That is one of the reasons I wish I had been 10-15 years older.
