Yes, I read hurryupharry and they love to use the word “clown” to describe ukip. They’ve also been spinning like crazy. 🙂

Next time, UKIP majority government?

“How ya like me NOW, huh?”

SuhWEET! More power to ya, ya crazy UKIPpers. Got any candidates you’d care to export in a westerly direction?

Thanks for posting this, Stoaty; you made my weekend!

OK – pending a result in the Dead Pool, here’s a game for the waiting period: guess which party Uncle Badger voted for?

(evil grin)

RESPECT?

Even when it’s explained to me, I still can’t follow it.

Gay marriage, gay bb players, guns, speculations on the motivation of an Islamic terrorist, drunken starlets, on and on. ANYTHING but the worsening national problems. The media’s more than happy to run with anything they don’t have to investigate and doesn’t cause dissension among their government handlers.

Maybe the muzzies & the homos will get into an all out war & solve 2, maybe 3 problems for me.

Any coalition the UKIP forms for majority should require that Nigel be the Prime Minister…

OK, Uncle B, I’ll take a guess.
Monster Raving Loony Party? (-:

Every night I pray that the entire world be struck by a virulent pandemic of sanity and commonsense. Looks like the infection may be taking hold over there across the pond.

so, in those google images, the 3rd and 4th (at least in my results)… What happened to his face? did he get in a slap-fight with Wolverine, or something?

y’know what has me chucklin’ lately is all the lefty hyperventilating over the prospect of the Koch brothers buying up the LA Times. OMG, you’d think that civilization was about to be turned on it’s head and the Age of Sauron was nigh.

Liberals are the guardians of liberty – pfffttttt! So much for diversity, I guess.

The pictures of Farage with his face cut and bleeding were taken as he was rescued from a light aircraft crash.

You haven’t heard a peep from Pussy Riot or Femen have you?

Those game playersare gone. Putin is a genius!

Now society thinks it is fine that men whom fuck men can marry? Adopt kids, and sodomise them?

What Chicken Farmer said. On election day in 2010, Farage was in a plane towing a banner. The banner fouled the tail of the plane and down it went. In a separate incident, the pilot of that plane was convicted of threatening to kill Farage. So, hmmmm.

Anyway, it’s a bit insult-to-injury to show a picture of a man crawling out of a plane crash with a broken sternum and ribs and a collapsed lung, and pick the picture with the goofy look on his face.

I’m really glad to see Mister Farage did so well in the local elections. I doubt the libertarian party here in the states will ever do very well. First because of how our very system is set up(works better for two parties). Second, Libertarian Party has never had a Farage, a solid party leader who understands how to court votes…and honestly, I don’t think it’ll ever have it.

eesh. Glad he’s ok – that sounds like it could have had a much worse ending.

As for our Libertarians – they *could* force the GOP to go the way of the whigs someday, I suppose, but my personal opinion is that their time would be better spent taking over the GOP from the ground up. As it stands now, the better they do, the more the not-left vote is split. Seems a bit counter-productive.

Re: Nigel Farage—he has a bit of movie star goodlooks, huh (when he’s not bleeding). The hat makes him look older. How is his voice? BBC or rural?

Deborah – there are dozens or maybe hundreds of youtube videos featuring Nigel Farage blasting away in the EU parliament. Here’s the first one I think I ever watched: “Who are you Mr President” (asked of EU President Van Rompuy). Enjoy!

Well if things keep getting worse and the government stupider, England has a real chance of watching British National Party take over; they should be hoping the UKIP can get the edge if that get s more likely.

@Deborah: Upper middle class, definitely a BBC voice

Having listened to a few of his talks, Mr Farage does seem to suffer a bit from bitterness and frustration that tips him over into just meanness and insult. I can’t say as I blame him, given the quality and type of people he’s addressing and dealing with, but its not very constructive or helpful and it makes him seem like an angry crank to the “low information” type.

I think it was last year, the government was trying to remove a couple’s children from their care because they were UKIP voters. I don’t remember specifics or outcome, though. Anyway, it’s good to sanity grabbing a foothold somewhere in the world.

Nigel looks a bit like Dmitry Medvedev!

CT – actually he’s playing to the gallery when he does that. The mood here in the Olde Countrie may not have been reported very accurately (can’t think why). People are angry and have been silenced, most notably on the question of immigration.

The previous government calculatedly threw open the doors, resulting in a quite astonishing transformation in some of our towns and cities. A level of change that might have happened in 50 years happened in a decade and many of those immigrants (the ‘M’ word) not only haven’t assimilated – they do not want to.

No debate, no argument, no consultation, a complete media lockdown on discussion (there is no recognisable talk radio here) and the liberal use of the word ‘racist’ (liberal in both senses) has left people angry and disenfranchised.

Add to that the experience of being ruled by an unelected foreign ‘elite’ that decrees convicted terrorists, rapists and murderers may not deported and that all manner of changes must be enforced whether Britons like them or not and… well, I believe Americans might well have revolted by now.

So, yes, Farage is sometimes close to the bone but he is reflecting a mood of genuine anger and resentment. Many people in the UK actively want to hear it said that way to a usurping political class that has staged a silent coup.

That fedora Nigel’s wearing looks like a vintage model — high, squarish crown and moderate raw-edged brim. It’s bashed (shaped) beautifully, too.
