I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,545

Problem is people won't take responsibity for their own offspring. God knows why they bring them into the world.

It's a very mocdern attitude this, let the state do the job.

I'm not sure what the solution is,.

Your dinner over the bastards

How did you get invited to that?

My Dad has connections to a Lord. He met Jack Nicholson at one of these things a few years back.

I think we're going on a Wednesday, so should be busy round there with Prime Minister's Questions on.

Reasons for voting UKIP if you're liberally minded

1They offer a tent for racists, bigots which unlike the BNP doesn't encourage criminal violence or harassment. That's practically a social service.
2They're not getting into power, they barely even run in bielections. They're the monster raving loony party, with fresh jokes and less silly hats.
3Every UKIP vote takes a small amount of David Cameron's enormous smug smile away.
4They may actually get more votes from Nick Clegg and he might die of shame, or get killed by some turbo pervert the libs have hidden in his loft.
5Any one voting UKIP was never going to vote for Labour, so shhh each vote for them messes up Conservative safe seats.
6Nigel Farrage is very entertaining and about the only entertaining politician on the telly, come on that's worth something. Do you really want to have to watch the 3 stooges, or Bozzer trying to be taken seriously so he can get Dave's job.
7If they do well enough it may be possible to organise a boxing match between Farrage and Galloway.
8Their manifesto is funnier than anything you're going to find in Viz or Private Eye.
9Farrage's about the only politician you'd have a pint with.
10By being publicly anti immigration, they allow these policies to be aired in public and ridiculed Unlike the conservatives and Labour who are ashamed of putting the exact same views into actual policies.

I might have to disagree with 5.

Racism is rife among the 'working man' and 'Labour voters'.

When I joined a Working Mon's Club I was called before the membership committee and they said 'That's fine. Just wanted to see what colour you are.'

True but BNP is far more pseudo labor than UKIP, UKIPs supporters are 6 times more likely to be former Conservatives.

UKIP visited Swansea today and were immediately descended upon by the Socialist Worker rent-a-mob. Farage stayed away and had a press conference at a nearby football stadium.

Naturally, the news reporter's first remark was along the lines of Farage being a big scaredy poo pants.

So not only do we hate free speech and democracy in this country, it's fine for BBC News to start an interview with a personal insult.

I watched that, the SWP are a dreary rentamob of inutterable bores in permanent search of an argument.

If you want to disarm one, just ask them why a general strikes a good idea.

They'll actually die of shock, that someone actually asked their opinion.

Where as Farrage was actually rather funny and charming, partly because the journos seem to throw him soft balls.

He is after all splendid telly.

You do remember the satire boom? That was to try and get rid of the reverence to politicos?

Apparently Peaches Geldolf died of a Heroin overdose I am reading (and the results are going to be officially announced in my home town later, Gravesend - not JUST a footnote in Disney's Pocahontas).

It's always nice when kids choose to follow in their parents footsteps, poor old Tigerhernia looks set for a dangerwank.

What is even more unsettling is the fact they suspect someone may have removed the drugs paraphernalia before her body was discovered. I knew there was a reason they were going through her bins!

To be honest if I gave someone a terminal shot of heroin I'd want to bin all the evidence.
You'd go to prison for that.
Even if the victim is a droning, panel show filling, bilge column writing C list nuisance.

There is a stigma attached to heroin overdose which isn't apparent with alcohol. When Amy Winehouse died, I heard a couple of people say they were glad it wasn't "drugs".
