According to front page of today's Metro, UKIP (or Ukip, as the illiterate headline has it, as though it was a noun rather than an abbreviation) are 'outraged' over a Channel 4 'docudrama' about the possible consequences of the election of a UKIP government, which included race riots and mass unemployment. Well, what a bloody shame. If they weren't a bunch of fascistic xenophobes with no policies beyond yelling 'immigration' as a universal scapegoat, then maybe thinking people might not hold them in such contempt, or believe that the country would go to hell in a handbasket under their auspices. Sadly, you don't have to be a thinking person to vote.

Sounds like the UK political climate is EXACTLY like the US political climate!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about power over service.

Hello Jay
DeleteAll politics, or perhaps more accurately, virtually all politicians are about selfish ends, power, wealth, privilege, as far as I'm concerned. But UKIP are even more loathsome than the others, to me, given their embracing racism, xenophobia and bigotry, and using those things to win votes by playing on the prejudices of a large slice of the electorate. The biggest downside, always, of a democratic system is that any moron can vote.
