Thieving cheating scumbags

If the current expenses thing has pissed you off then I wouldn't vote for ukip. Didn't they get someone jailed for breaking the law on that?

Ok, maybe not so as dramatic as I put it, but no free movement of labour and more barriers to trade agreements certainly won't help.

Our GDP would rise between 2.5% and 3.8% because the trade barriers would go and we would be in the (free) world market. Don't take my word for it, have a long read of this from the Institute of Economic Affairs:

Nothing will ever change just getting stressed for fuckall. If you cant change it why bother

Thats the Question. My options as I see it are:

Don't vote : Not an option for me. Too many have died & in other countries are still doing so, in the past in the fight to get a vote.
Vote Tory : Usually this is what I would vote as their traditional philiosophy most closely matches mine ie. The State should serve the people Not controll the people. Problem is that some of their policies are too much like Labours (eg Europe) & I can't see them being radical enough.
Vote Liberal Dem: After seeing waht they did locally in North Wilts no chance.
Vote UKIP: Is this a wasted vote ? Not for the Euro elections so that will be me I guess, but for Westminster it probably is.
Vote Labour : No chance. They have wrecked this country.

You forgot Green!  One day in the near distant future they'll win a seat.

I didn't forget them. TBH I don't know enough about their policies, although I know some "Greens" would have us go back to the Stone Age. The other issue is that the green movement seems to me to contradict itself. eg. Nuclear power - some say it's green, but others worry about the radioactive waste. I personally, rather than throw £12 billion at VAT registered companies would have commisioned a Severn Barrage to create work & (In my view) a worthwhile project. Many Greens would go for that, but others would be concerned about the mud flats & sea birds.

This has been flying about.....sums things up nicely....Donuts??

One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut.   After the cut he asks for his bill and the barber replies, 'I cannot accept money from you.
I am doing community service this week.' The florist is pleased and leaves the shop. When the barber goes to open his shop the next morning there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill,the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the  barber goes to open up there is a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Later that day, a college professor comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again says, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The professor is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the barber opens his shop, there is a 'thank you'  card and a dozen different books, such as 'How to Improve Your Business' and 'Becoming More Successful.'
Then a Member of Parliament comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his bill the barber again replies, 'I cannot accept money from you.  I'm doing community service this week.' The MP is very pleased and leave the shop. The next morning when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Members of Parliament  lined up waiting for a free haircut.


 
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the Members of Parliament.

Did you not read the thread about cheap booze at the Gorse Hill Somerfield ?

I saw a UKIP ad tonight, what a load of utter shit. I was curious out of ignorance before, but seeing that killed my interest.

Their central argument was the rising cost of landfill. Apparently its a bad thing.
