Daytime TV and adverts that use puppets / quirky characters to try and disguise what a rip off service they provide .

yes yes YES so much yes!

Things that grind my gears……

Women who swear in public…it isn’t ladylike and it puts many men off. It may be an attempt to appear ” equal” … the result is not so…you appear poorly educated and dragged up.

I don’t particularly enjoy hearing anyone swearing in public. Especially when they’re screaming at someone down their mobile phone…
It’s especially worrying when kids do it. The amount of times I’ve had a little brat shout something along the lines of “F**king poof!” at me… When they can’t be much older than 12… I’d never dream of doing anything like that at that age (and that was only 10 years ago for me), or even now, I like to think my parents brought me up to be a well mannered citizen.

I think I shall need copious amounts of wine if I am to view their broadcast.

This tweet from Matt Lucas made me chuckle:
“If the kids in the BNP broadcast are the result of a traditional family unit then I’m definitely going to keep on only having sex with men.”

The latest news doing the rounds is that those ukip muppets got their anti-Europe leaflets printed in Germany to save money…

also, “A small chance to make a change.” is one of the many reasons I am voting green. It is a vote based on hope, rather than fear.

Your choice of course Matt, but what exactly are you hoping for by voting “green”?

Before I state reasons, I realise the up coming election is just a European Election, but looking ahead at the big picture….

Staying part of the EU, keeping the NHS public, Better equality, better treatment of the environment (including anti-fracking) , a decent living wage, they come across to me at the moment of being the only party that actually cares about the people by which I mean ALL the people , re-nationalising the railways, de-criminalising drugs (I am a firm believe this will benefit the UK in the long run) , & a crack down Animal Welfare.

There’s a few reasons to be going with. They are currently the only party that appeal to me, if they didn’t exist I’d probably go labour, but I find labour very uninspiring at the moment…

Matt, I have reached age when I think it is unlikely that my core beliefs will be changed, but I hope I am reasonably tolerant of others’ beliefs. I hold my hands up – not always, but I try!;)

It’s good, I often forget about the generation gap on this forum

I’d never have guessed that’s what No 5 in your list wanted 😉

Moggy

haha, yes very subtle :p

Why is UKIP ‘far right’?

I would have thought that the desire to leave the EU appealed across the whole voting spectrum?

That’s the problem, people seem to fail to realise that leaving the EU isn’t the only thing ukip stand for, and there are plenty of other parties that wan’t to hold an EU referendum that are less bigoted. In my opinion the whole party is a bunch of scum bags, but I don’t expect many people on this forum to agree with me and this has been discussed in the other ukip thread anyway.

don’t forget , my generation is the one that’ll have to pic up the pieces if a party like that started running things and the uk falls apart.
