Fisherman Mike Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think the the government, and the politicised press, are now terrified of UKIP and the support they've got ahead of an EU referendum that we'll now see a non-stop barrage of smear tactics and derrogation of Nige and UKIP. Frit, the lot of 'em, so any tiny comment will be turned into a drama. Considering they only polled 12% of the Vote I find that very difficult to believe. Your memory is very short...remember what happened at the Polls the last time The Kippers on this Forum intimated we were all running scared ? running for Government perhaps but not running scared. I don't believe Farage is a tyrant. Obviously some in his party are disgruntled that he didn't keep his word (despite how you spin it he didn't) and many realise that without Farage at the helm UKIP are finished as a credible opposition party. Any party let alone UKIP that rests the very basis of its substance on the single issue of leaving the EU is utterly doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) To be blunt I don't feel I have anything to apologise to you for...continually throughout this thread I have been bullied, victimised and ridiculed by you and your ilk because I dare to disagree with your radical and may I say, sometimes fanatical UKIP beliefs. Its ok of course for you both to refer to Cameron as Moron ( if you knew the literal meaning of such a term you would realise it is the ultimate insult to someone who had a mentally disabled child) but when the heat in the Kitchen hots up you seem to get suddenly acrimonious Even your statement about your life's achievements compared to mine displays an air of self opinionated superiority. You both seem to have issues with most things I post which are contrary to your opinion. If I'm in the wrong I will be Man enough to apologise to you publicly and in fact do so with out resort to petty PM's. You and KW should be apologising to me by the same token. Lets draw a line in the sand shall we. You insulted me and you expect me to draw a line under it,dream on. In all the other threads where we have clashed you have given as good as you got, and no one resorted to the kind of personal attacks you have . I have no superiority complex as you put it,i have just lived a very full life,and was not a loser as you put it. Still waiting for the apology. Feel free to put up the last PM i sent to you so everyone can see how petty it was. Edited May 14, 2015 by welsh1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrclark Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The BBC are making big of it, wonder why. KW Because 4m people voted for UKIP and the BBC are the single largest news media organisation in the UK? It's funny that the tories think the BBC is left wing, the left wingers think it is right wing biased, the kippers think it is pro Westminster establishment, the SNP & PC think that it is pro union, the commercial stations think it is unfairly funded, the TV watching public think the license is a TV tax, yet countries all around the world look at it in admiration.

AVB Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 If you feel insulted then I apologise unreservedly. Glad you two have made up. Reminds me of when a bloke I know was in front of the LIFFE disciplinary committee (a frequent occurrence) Terry - "can you fine me for what I think" Board - "of course not Terry" Terry - "good 'cos I think you are a ****". £200 quid fine and exit stage left.

chrisjpainter Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 the article does not actually say he was sacked does it? it makes an assumption nothing more, perhaps riding your one wheeled bike whilst reading helped you miss that. KW It says exactly that: 'Nigel Farage's chief of staff has been sacked after claims he helped turn the UKIP leader into a "snarling, thin-skinned, aggressive" man.' Whether they are right in their assessment of the situation, is a different matter. but the article, whether right or wrong in its assumptions, does say he has been sacked! His contract was up at the end of the month and is on holiday until then, but UKIP have confirmed he's left the party - the article reports this as left the party and no longer works for the party, which are obviously different - but if it's the former, it's more serious than just losing his job as CoS.
