I am hoping, for the sake of humanity, that the majority of voters don’t decide that the far right is the answer to the UK’s problems.

Missed that, do you recall the name of the doco? Be interested to see it .

I think you are referring to the documentary with George “Johnnie” Johnson. Narrated by Stephen Fry, called “Last of the Dambusters”. It can be found on YouTube.

That sounds about right, They showed it around the 70th anniversary last year, well worth a watch.

Did anyone watch that documentary where one of the veterans went back to meet some of the people who’s lives it effected? It was very moving, he got quite upset.

now that I whole heartedly agree with, I think it’ll be a rare case for someone to agree with EVERYTHING a party stands for.

They play on people fears about global warming and other environmental issues…

The hypocrisy from some posters in this thread is astounding, slating UKIP voters for apparently being intolerant, yet they are being completely intolerant towards the views, beliefs and fears of others.

The climate is changing whether you believe it or not.

I am intolerant towards hate fuelled by ignorance… Is that such a bad thing?

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

thank YOU for being able to disagree in such a civilised manor 🙂 A refreshing change from the usual school playground style disparaging.

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…

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.

‘Free speech’ does not mean ‘consequence-free speech’

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.”

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.

Urrrrrrrgh ukip’s antics are making my blood boil more and more by the day… and I am concerned by what I read around various posts on social network sites at how many people are falling for their bull**** .

If ukip put a stop to immigration, and there are still no jobs, I wonder who people would turn on next? homosexuals? The disabled? Women?

When did everyone become so hateful? Surely humans are better united? The world is changing, more and more cultures are starting to entwine with each other. It’s time people started embracing it, rather than creating propaganda to feed peoples’ fear and hate. No amount of ‘foreigners’ are going to stop you being English/Scottish/Welsh/ whatever.

All my opinion of course. I feel better for getting that off my chest.
