So... no MPs, no financial backer, MEPs brawling in public, leader caught out lying, under investigation for electoral fraud...

 

I really hope these cunts take a terminal pasting at the local elections.

 

The sad thing is, you'll still have those thick kippers thinking the MP's they voted for at the last election give a fuck about them. Special need fuckers.

The gift that just keeps on giving.

UKIP can’t buy an election victory at the moment. Scrapbook reported last week how leader Paul Nuttall lost the Stoke Central by-election despite spending £10,000 more than any other candidate.

 

 

But now the Kippers have an even bigger problem – they can’t even correctly register to run in an election.

 

UKIP were hoping to take their third seat in the 5 member north ward of Haverhill Town Council in a by-election.

 

Instead their hopeful has been automatically disqualified because they filled out the registration from incorrectly.

 

The Cambridge News reports that the would-be candidate invalidated their form by writing UKIP, rather than the party’s full name: UK Independence Party.

 

It meant that, as the only candidate, Labour’s Liz Smith was automatically elected.

 

The blunder comes in the same week that:

 

A UKIP councillor in Somerset claimed the NHS was wasting money on LGBT services

 

A UKIP councillor in Hartlepool, who works as a tanker driver, appeared in court charged with drink driving

 

UKIP leader Paul Nuttall gave Nigel Farage his 110% support to contest the South Thanet seat again

 

You’ve got to be in it to win it…

UKIP going balls-out for the racist vote by dredging up the "ban the burqa" bullshit again.

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39682939

 

Nuttalls is using the old trope about it being a security issue.  Let's have a look at France, for example.  In the 21st Century, up to the introduction of their ban on Muslim women dressing the way they choose (April 2011), there had been one incident of Islamist terrorism - a bomb attack against the Indonesian embassy which injured 10 people.  Needless to say, no burqas were involved in the attack.

 

They then introduced a law which serves only to set the State against its Muslim citizens; a law which leads to armed Police forcing women on a beach to undress.

 

Since then, there have been more than 20 Islamist attacks.  Hundreds of people have been killed and wounded.  I'm not saying that that's proof of a direct causal link, but if you look at one attack in 11 years before the introduction of a repressive "security" measure followed by 20 attacks in 6 years, you have to ask whether it's effective before talking about introducing it elsewhere.

The burka is ridiculous and in most cases says more about male domination than any religious statement. That said if Muslim women want to wear it out of free choice then i would defend their right to do so . I would prefer we ban UKIP before attacking Islam
