TEN REASONS NOT TO VOTE UKIP: REASON NUMBER 2

Paul Nuttall, Deputy Leader of UKIP who openly admits he usually can't be bothered to turn up to vote at the European Parliament, whilst defrauding the taxpayer of £80,000 per annum in salary plus mega expenses. They're all in it together, except with UKIP you also get a right wing blend of sexism, racism and homophobia.

YOU DON'T LIKE GREEDY, LAZY, MONEY GRABBING POLITICIANS

ByHARRY BLACKWOOD

OK. So, you've told all your pals that MPs of all parties are money-grabbing, corrupt, greedy, incompetent bastards who are not worth voting for. Congratulations for stating the bleeding obvious.

But then you go and spoil your impressive performance by saying you're thinking of voting UKIP. Hold it there buddy, I need a serious word with you.

When it comes to being corrupt, greedy, incompetent and filling their bank accounts with your hard-earned dosh, UKIP take the biscuit. In fact they take the whole packet of biscuits.

Thinking of voting UKIP to protest about the way our MPs do their job?  Think MPs should work harder.  UKIP MEPs don’t.  In fact, they pride themselves on not bothering to vote at the European Parliament, although they do turn up occasionally to collect the £80,000 we pay each of them and to bang in some quite outrageous expense claims.

Their Deputy Leader Paul Nuttall says of his own voting record, “I’ll hold my hands up. My attendance record is flaky to say the least. But so what? I treat Brussels with the contempt it deserves.” 

Nice. These people are laughing at the tax-payer, taking money to do nothing, and having a jolly old time “playing at politics” with your tax payers’ money and never actually bothering to go to work.

If you think that Nigel Farage is a good honest bloke, down to earth, represents the common man, and is the sort of bloke you could have a drink with, think again. 

I’m sure you could have a drink with him.  If you could afford it.  Not only has Nigel Farage claimed over £2 million in expenses, but he is the son of a millionaire stock-broker. 

Nigel himself, this man of the people, is a millionaire stock-broker himself, (you know, just like the people who gambled away your pension fund).

Good old Nigel who you could have a drink with down the pub, probably wouldn't want to sit next to an oik like you anyway, because you, unlike him, would not have been able to afford to go to the £10k a year top public school that Nigel was educated in.  Meaning that Nigel's childhood education, is probably worth more than the value of your house will be, after these people destroy our economy.

And remember this is the same Mr. Farage who wants to increase your taxes if he gets elected. The same Mr. Farage who employs his wife AND his alleged bit on the side out of our taxes.

If you believe that the AV referendum was a waste of time and tax-payers money. Well done.

Nigel Farage didn’t.  He was all for it, declaring that the current First Past the Post system is “a nightmare for UKIP”.

Maybe you believe that UKIP can do a better job of running the country than the other main parties.

Well, that’s up for debate, it's hard to find anyone who thinks that any of the big three parties have done a good job, but at least they are organised.  UKIP “forgot” to put their party name on the candidates’ ballot paper for the Local and Mayoral elections in London 2012.  These people want to run your country, by the way.

They have incompetence in their DNA. Along with racism, homophobia and a firmly held belief that gay marriage causes flooding.

You may like to have a rethink . . .

TEN REASONS NOT TO VOTE UKIP: REASON NUMBER 1

Bloom-in Awful. He may look as innocent as Victor Meldrew, but this odious individual is UKIP's Godfrey Bloom. His brand of sexism and xenophobia is so extreme he is even an embarrassment at European Parliament group meetings of his own party. 

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN, YOU LOVE A WOMAN, YOU HAVE A MOTHER, DAUGHTER OR SISTER OR YOU HAVE WOMEN FRIENDS.

ByHARRY BLACKWOOD

Many of UKIP's members are sexist pigs. It all filters down from the top. Honest broker Nigel is said by fellow UKIP top brass to "have an eye for crumpet". Yes, he's married. His wife works for him but never mind eh?

That should be enough to put you off them for life. If it isn't, here's a few more:

Women who do not clean behind their fridges are “sluts”.  An hilarious quip from Godfrey Bloom.  He says he was just joking.  Oh, how we laughed…

Women are “”nowhere near as good as men” at chess, bridge and poker.  Stewart Wheeler the UKIP party treasurer said that.   Two points here.  The first is, what on earth has that got to do with running a country? The second is, tell that to Victoria Coren, this country's best and most successful tournament poker player, and the first player, (not woman, but player of any gender), to win the European Poker Tour twice.

Then there's the UKIP candidate being investigated after his Twitter feed was found to contain apparently racist and sexist remarks.

James Elgar's account also included references to hijacked planes, rape by "Asian boys" and "foreigners and weirdos".

One of his tweets said: "There is [sic] no women in the CBB final? That's because they are all in the kitchen where they belong..."

So, if you are female and considering voting UKIP, I'd really like some of the drugs you're on.

MAKING PLANS FOR NIGEL

Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP enjoying his customary pint and cigarette. This clever marketing ploy as a 'man of the people' disguises the unpleasant truth about this far right party of racists, homophobes and sexists.

Public schooled, ex-banker has conned the public through the bottom of a pint glass.

ByHARRY BLACKWOOD

WINSTON CHURCHILL famously said: "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." Never a truer word and it seems that old Winston must have been talking to the same sort of people that I converse with on Facebook and Twitter as well as the real word.

Without wanting to sound superior (obviously I am) most people's knowledge of politics and the democratic process (which is a total sham) could be written on the back of an envelope with a six-inch emulsion brush. They'll be able to tell you every X Factor winner since 1936 but ask who is foreign secretary or leader of the opposition and they'd be knackered.

Is it any wonder then that a party of racists, homophobes, sexists and general oddballs have managed to convince a huge proportion of the electorate that they are the voice of reason?

No matter which way they try to spin it, UKIP is a party for people who aren't very bright. It has to be. Anybody with an IQ into double figures would quickly realise that UKIP is nothing more than BNP Lite; a party for people who are happy to trot out the line "I'm not racist, I've got a black doctor"

But it would be stupid to say that all UKIP voters are closet racists. Of course they're not. Just most of them. But I want to focus on the others. The ones whose only excuses are that they are stupid, suffering from cognitive dissonance or they're desperate for change. It's the last one that I think explains the UKIP phenomenon.
