UKIP having a local meeting…

So got a flyer through the door today, from our local UKIP candidate, he’s having a meeting in our local village hall to discuss their policies…

Now it had his contact details on it, so my first reaction was thinking to text him telling him to post their right wing propaganda through my door.

I also have his address from the same flyer, so the second thought was to wee in an old pair of shoes & send them to him…

But what I really want to do is actually attend the meeting & challenge all their policies & generally make him look stupid. Unfortunately I don’t have the working knowledge or the confidence to do this… So what can I read up on? so at least if I attempt to make him look a bit silly, I can know my facts…

How about this as a crib sheet:

Article entitled 19 Questions Nick Clegg Should Ask Nigel Farage in LBC’s Europe Debate

Are you sure it’s not an SNP meeting? They’re almost identical y’know.

Anyway, seriously, yeah, go and challenge them. Be prepared for the meeting to be full of their supporters though…so swivel eyed closet right-wing racists bigots loons.

If you believe some folk on here, SNP are more like Al-Qaeda!.

Yeah we got a leaflet through our door today.. The meeting is gonna be held in a church across the road from me..
I’d like to attend but I may just observe quietly from the sitting room woindow cos I’m not the most erudite or eloquent of folk and I have an exceptionally short fuse..

The funny thing about it was that I saw a weird looking bloke entering our flats this arvo, so weird looking that I shouted to the other half to lock the front door and come and have a look..
He was like a scary demonic preacher from a low budget horror movie, complete with a metal bar on a bit of string which I first mistook for a crucifix, but I’m guessing he was carrying it for self defence.. and as it happens he was delivering leaflets for UKIP 😈

Why not go round and shoot them all for daring to voice an opinion you find offensive?

yah… why not? 😯

I’m starting to think that maybe I’m a fascist liberal

Wow.
Go and shoot them? I don’t think even Farage would go that far

We dont have access to guns unfortunately…any contacts ninfan?

What i like to do is when the tories visit is , and you need to be subtle and do this over say 20 mins, is pretend you may vote for them and then just see how racist you can get them to be

you can see that look they get when they dont want to lose your vote but they dont want to disagree either

No need to shoot them…they usually manage to do that to themselves around once a week.

I think that if you can’t think quickly enough on your feet and have the confidence to be able compete at a political hustings I shouldn’t think you should go at all. Better off casting that vote somewhere else come the election.

But who should we vote for? I’m confused . . . a posh boy? A whipping boy? Or the one who can’t even eat a sandwich properly???

Bugger me we’re done for whoever gets in . . .

How about stop being so intolerant and accept that other people have different opinions?

Thats not a bad thing to say at the meeting dan what should he say next?

Do gay people cause foods and are women really sluts …would that do ?

Wow.
Go and shoot them? I don’t think even Farage would go that far

I think he probably would if we are talking about his own candidates/supporters as they have a seemingly unerring ability to **** things up for him……….

Mind you, the rumor is that every time one of them shows their true colours (white with flecks of red from burst blood vessels around the nose), their approval rating goes up. So, perhaps the biggest idiots are still out there.

When Labour, Lib Dem, Green, Tories etc comes I will tell them all to shaft it up their zombie maggot brains.

Bunch of no good career nosey minding others business profile enhanching jobworth zombie bureaucrats … they all are, they all are …

🙄

I think you should wait for them with a Glök 47 chewkw.

Not that I’m a UKIP supporter, but you’re basically saying you don’t like them but you don’t actually know why you don’t like them

Just ask – repeatedly – what UKIP policy is on whatever subject he is currently talking about. If Farage has recently contradicted him evn better.

Quite. When your leader is having to make it up on the hoof it is difficult for the minions to know what the party line is. The thing that UKIP need picking up on is the fact that they are a classic one issue party that have git a bit of attention. They are now having to effectively construct a manifesto in reverse, it shouldn’t be difficult to spot the cracks.

If you believe some folk on here, SNP are more like Al-Qaeda!.

Don’t be daft nobeer, they are more like UKIP.

I would state to them that it’s a shame that they think the EU is there to **** over British people for the benefit of a perceived unrepresentative, unelected government. Ask them why they care so much for the needs of the few.

Forget the meeting, just go out for a bike ride instead.

Just ask them about random things the EU gets completely right… like… if we leave the EU would UKIP ban neonicotinoids? What would be the legal working time employers could wring out of workers if we leave the EU? How would they stop truck drivers falling asleep at the wheel? Wouldn’t it be dangerous to remove the capital requirements on banks and the stress testing?

I think that UKIP like EU bashing because it’s something to blame… and haven’t much of a clue about the actual implications of the EU and how we’d have to replicate practically all of it to maintain safety standards if we left or if we want to keep our economic links with our biggest trading partner.

Or you could just ask them how they plan to reverse the Jewish conspiracy which shackles the Reich and is preventing its thousand year rule. [may be too subtle]

I just want the interest rates to go up by 10% to boost my savings
Nothing to do with the above but thats what I want 😆

Work out who is best to vote for in your opinion, then vote for them. If your needs are representative of a majority of other people then you’ll be laughing. 😉

Nothing wrong with that, problem is that you have to concede that you may not be in the majority.

So you don’t actually know anything about their policies, but you want to go there and tell them how wrong they are?

Perhaps best leave that to those that haven’t had to ask on a forum for advice on why they’re such a terrible bunch…imo of course

I ain’t no bearded guy. Only bearded guys with twisted logic reason with AK47.

🙄

you don’t actually know anything about their policies

he is as well informed as it is possible to be

If you can’t express why you object to UKIP how about self immolation? It really shows you mean business.

I think the OP was possibly drunk when he posted this thread . . .

Ask the candidate whether his/her glorious leader has bothered to read the policy document before signing it this time around.

Why does your leader moan about foreigners coming to the UK but have a German wife?

Why does your leader moan about foreigners coming to the Uk

Does he? I thought they were only against uncontrolled immigration?

UKIP up 5 points in latest Yougov poll 😉

OP – ignoring the odd idea of protesting against something that you do not understand/have knowledge on, my two suggestions would start with the central area of UKIP BS which is the issue of immigration.

A good start is

http://cdn.budgetresponsibility.independent.gov.uk/2013-FSR_OBR_web.pdf

This is essentially about the deficit by there is a key chapter on the impact of immigration on the nation’s finances

Then the following interpretations of the above

http://niesr.ac.uk/blog/migration-and-public-finances-long-run-obrs-fiscal-sustainability-report#.VLJaOH8gGSM

(Interesting point in this that shows the contradictions in what the Tories are saying too)

http://www.migrationwatchuk.org/briefing-paper/1.36

A different perspective to NIESR, you will see that they clash in the issue of immigrant getting older

http://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/fiscal-impact-immigration-uk

Is also interesting for its perspective

See what you think and then you can call UKIP’s bluff. It’s very simple to do.

After that you can look at the impact of migrant of welfare and social services – that’s even easier to destroy.

Shame its not nearby, I would love to go along and punch a shouty intolerant leftie.

Whereabouts are you mark29er..? I’d be more than happy to meet up so that you could live out your fantasy 😀

THM is many things but lefty is not amongst them, all but the closet racists and loons dislike UKIP

Preaching tolerance about UKIP was that satire or stupidity?

Ya, the leftie are rather nosey paranoid controlling bunch of “know all”. Get them into power within such a short period you are doomed as this is a bunch only suitable for having the position of customer service in call centre, certainly Not to put in position of power as their “good intention” are generally rather skewed.

Just watched the political debate on telly just now … one of the NE council wanted regional control to give councils more power. If they get it we are doomed. This bunch just wants to increase tax to the hilt at will. Give them a bit of power then power gets to their head. The know-it-all heads become bigger.

This is a bunch that will suck the blood out of hardworking people without them knowing as they hide behind the views that they represent the workers … ya, vote them for the personal profile so when they retire they get handsome payout … ya, put them in high profile jobs then they retire to earn even more in the private sector.

Labour – should Not get voted in for at least 3 terms.

After 3 terms, then perhaps you can re-consider to see if they have changed their ways.

As a cyclist a rather obvious question would be what are their policies on improving cycle infrastructure and safety. When they don’t have, hit them with some facts from the report recentl published showing all the benefits to the greater population.
