Politics at Westminster | BREAKING: UKIP

Maybe he meant anti- Zionism. In that case I agree with his comments.
 
I think that's what he meant, and if so he's right. It's a tedious argument made by Israel's apologists.

So he's been a politician for 40 years, and he can't pick his own words correctly?

He's got to go. Maybe he can join Respect.
 
Interesting that the other papers are reporting the controversy against his statement of defence earlier than seems to exclude those comments. I would have defended him on his previous statement but not on the above.

I'm pretty sure the professional politicians tweeting their outrage won't have read either. It's important to seem outraged on these things, the quicker and louder the better
 
Think John Mann has come out the bigger pillock here. Aggressively calling him a racist and a nazi in public based on those comments is ridiculous, he's also wrong about the historical facts he disputed.

Tories laid this trap long ago after the Corbyn terrorist sympathiser line didn't stick. No suprise that some in Labour have picked up and ran with it.
 
For the first time in my life I have successfully located my polling card.

Having done so, I have also just realised the only thing I have to vote in is the bloody crime commissioner elections.

I feel I have to at least spoil my ballot, having actually found the thing...

They never really even ask for it, just your name so they can look it up on a list.

They don't but they were quite happy when I said I had it and they didn't need to search through their papers.

Quite a few of them were sunbathing on the grass outside the station when I arrived. Not sure turnout's been too high, thus far.
 
I still have no idea what these people actually do.

I can only assume they commission crime.
 
The south-east one's gimmick was to also appoint a youth commissioner, who turned out to be a massive idiot and got sacked really quickly. It's gonna be the Tory again and I'm really not sure I can be bothered to walk.
 
Ugh, just had a horrible call, from a ridiculously unmotivated Labour volunteer that's almost put me off voting entirely.

"Hi Thierry, have you voted yet today?"
"Not yet, will do la-"
"Are you voting Labour?"
"Probably, yeah."
"Ok, cool. Bye."

Might give my Assembly vote to the Greens for that alone.
 
How did they get Thierry Henry's phone number?
 
:D

Wait your real name is Thierry Henry? And you speak scouse? I tell you, the internet throws up some surprises on times.

As for voting, I'm only voting so those self righteous pompous wannabe intellectuals who watch Question Time and think they're in the trenches of front line politics tell me my opinion doesn't count because I didn't vote. I don't usually vote because they all just a different interpretation of the word cnut. This time though I'm going with Plaid Cymru because they had a beautifully produced motivational party political broadcast with background music that wouldn't be out of place in your local Starbucks.

Better reason than most of us.
 
It's quite a shock to receive a UKIP brochure with a pleasant-looking female politician on the cover, and on the other side is Farage with his giant gob. Thought it was a Dominos promotion.

Could be on to something, here. Let's be honest, a 50% off voucher could be enough to have an awful lot of us voting Dominos.
 
A pizza is a more cr(edible) politician than Gar-aaaaaage.

Their leaders voice is also very soothing.

UKIP are a growing force in Wales, even have some MEP from that IIRC.
 
:lol: That's both terrible and brilliant. Well done.

:lol:

Soporific, more like.
I have this horribly sexist thing where I can't cope with women whose pitch makes them sound like a fourteen year old. Get it with her and with Shami Chakrabarti, in particular. I just keep expecting them to tell me it's not fair and they're going to their room.

Honestly, think it's silly, they can't help it, and I need to get over it... Tricky though.
:lol:

Took me an awfully long time not to get confused as to why Polish views were so important every time I heard the words 'the polls say' on the news.
