Ukip

[TheHeathens]

It's just the latest in a long line of such stories. UKIP given bad publicity by the media? Don't make me laugh. Promoted by the media to the mindless masses so that their anger is controlled and diverted.

UKIP have been absolutely slaughtered by the media on recent weeks which you'd expect from the likes of The Guardian but the Daily Mail has been miles worse!

As I've already said, I didn't vote UKIP because I think they're a one man band and the party is a one trick pony. However...... THEY HAVE NEVER PRETENDED TO BE ANYTHING ELSE so I'm not sure why people are up in arms about it? Their sole aim is to take us out of the EU.

UKIP won't win a general election in a million years (Farage admits this himself) but it's possible that they may hold the balance of power in a hung parliament which will undoubtedly lead us to review our relationship with the EU and reclaim some powers back. I don't see that as a bad thing.

The European project was originally meant to be a free trade area but has grown into a behemoth over which we have no control and costs us a fortune. We are Germany's biggest trade partner and they wouldn't cut their nose off to spite their face should we decide to leave the EU; trade links would be maintained.
