God. Help. Us.

bit ironic Nik you would sooner have a party (the tory one )that wraps itself in the union jack, but sells off everything the British people owned, rail,post water,Docks, power, mines, phones and now even forests, to mostly overseas buyers, and if you scratch the surface mostly state owned ones at that, in the name of the free market.
Like in the case of the rail 75% overseas owned , the dutch and french state railway own more of it than us, so you are helping fund there low fares at home every time you buy a ticket
Not very patriotic in my eyes

Looks like it could have been a hoax.

THANK GOD FOR SMALL MERCIES EH? Our dead still rest in peace. Praise Allah!

I think you can take an early bath in football parlance.

I asked you politely to cut it out but you still carry on.

Thread ban issued.

without wanting to rub it in or anything like that, it everyone's responsibility to not be so keen to spread hatred, I saw some of the responses going up on facebook to that hoax, and plenty of people where absolutely desperate to believe it, I find it sad in the extreme that people have been whipped up to such a level of hysteria, that something which in my mind, doesn't make the top ten of issues that concern me, has actually created a party

Aye, spread by a BNP splinter-group. Could do without that rubbish being peddled on here.

Cameron and Osborne = unbelievable they bang the table and state they will not pay the 1.7 billion debt we owe allegedly, which some how they overlooked, and go over pay it in full with a poor attempt to note that its just delayed at 800 million and we forgo our rebate which takes it back to 1.7 billion next year - so thats were you get the CON in the CONservative party another own goal for Ukip to exploit - proving all our leaders of the main parties our wimps!
For all his faults Firage will again prosper from this even a Tory MEP confirmed that this was a farce on Sky news last night!

Rather Johnson than Ed. I hate politicians who have absolutely no real life experience, at least Johnson has that in his favour.

 

[Clint Planet]

Johnson isn't exactly bright, though. But then again, neither are Dave or Gideon and it didn't stand in their way.

I always liked Johnson, seemed like a good man, not sure he is leadership material in the same way i dont think he should have been made shadow chancellor, that being said i would vote for him given the options if he were leader

Really? Or is it just a case of papers making up stuff that Lynton Crosby feeds them?

 

[Clint Planet]

Could be, I suppose. I must admit, I tend to automatically trust the Observer-Grauniad.

He's actually done a working class job in his life. He'd be a much, much better leader for Labour than Milliband, even if he is a Marxist.

...and bad news for Cameron. I suspect the last thing he needs is somebody coming in who might just give Labour the required lift ahead of the election. Johnson is not demonstrating any willingness to lead at this moment but he might not be a bad choice with no other obvious contenders. He's not part of the posh boys alliance and might just appeal to many voters.
