You and me too !

UKIP would do a post-election deal with a potential minority Conservative government if there is an EU referendum in 2015, Nigel Farage has said.

In extracts from his memoirs in the Daily Telegraph, the UKIP leader ruled out a formal coalition, saying voters would see it as “selling out”.

But he said he would agree to a pact to prop up a Tory government in return for an EU referendum before Christmas.

In exchange, he said UKIP would back a minority Conservative government on key votes such as the Budget.

The DUP, which is currently the fourth largest party in the Commons with eight seats, has said an EU referendum would be a part of any deal it made in the event of a hung Parliament.

‘No wiggle room’

The UKIP leader said the terms of his deal with the Tories would be “very precise and simple”.

“I want a full and fair referendum to be held in 2015 to allow Britons to vote on being in or out of the European Union,” he said.

It would be possible to hold the referendum in 2015 “given that it only takes a few weeks to launch and organise a referendum,” he said.

“There would be no wiggle room for ‘re-negotiation’ somewhere down the line,” he added.

What a lovely bird. I hope it keeps away from those big spinny things.

I seem to remember it was all about cars and stuff. :sleeping:

Before it became a comedy show you mean ?

Does anyone really care how quickly a celebrity can do a lap ?

Indeed. Top gear existed before Clarkson, and it would exist after him
In fact it was a much better programme before him.

Interesting what Ian Hislop said last night.
Cameron wont take part in a debate, but issued a statement backing Clarkson.
He may regret that, now it turns out that Clarkson used foul language in public.

Let’s go back to the black and white minstrel show whilst we are at it.

I remember it well. Funny thing is, people didn’t seem to be offended at the time.

People weren’t offended because they weren’t aware they should be.
I don’t remember any complaints when the BBC were showing “Till death us do part”, or “Love thy neighbour” was
being screened.
The difference nowadays is, we have an army of do gooders taking offence on behalf of people they think might be offended.
