if any of my non-uk followers were wondering what the deal with UKIP is, here is a handy 7-point guide to get you started into this wonderland of racist classist bullshit
They’re so ridiculous it’s a wonder that anyone takes them seriously but the fact that people do and actually vote for them is scary to me.
People think they’re an alternative because he’s got the bumbling silly thing down pat, while somehow also getting the mainstream media to give him LOADS OF ATTENTION, meaning that people go “ooh I like him, he’s not like the others” and vote for UKIP because they just don’t realise.
Even the silly thing usually involves being incredibly racist or generally bigoted somehow that the fact that works on people is worrying to me too. I think it’s mainly due to their hatred of immigrants that they get most people, or at least the members of my family who would actually consider voting for them.
DON’T FORGET they also want to halve paid maternity leave, and get rid of anti-discrimination laws. Hope you enjoy being a woman who could potentially have babies, because Farage’s party have said several times that employers would be fools to employ us!
…and privatise the NHS.
And don’t say ‘it doesn’t say that in their manifesto’ because their ‘manifesto’ is the lightest piece of pseudopolitical fluff I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve written more specific political policies in my blog than they’ve got in that bloody thing.
It also doesn’t say ‘We want all foreigners out of the country’, but it’s pretty damn obvious from their behaviour. Mind, if they want to pay me to leave they’re most welcome to.
