I agree with Nick.
Lets all see if the political elite now start to get it. Like them or loath them but UKIP"s success can only open up what has been a very one-sided closed debate with the political class now having to listen to the people not telling them.

As four times as many immigrants are from outside the EU as within it , why does the EU get the blame for Blair`s plot to abolish England with mass immigration.
EU migrants come here to work make a net contribution to the exchequer and staff such wonderful paces as Sports Direct where left parents can be found stocking up on cheap football boots on most days.
The same cannot be said for the illiterate non English speaking problem immigration New Labour encouraged.
We can solve this without committing economic hari kari and leaving the EU . NOnetheless let us hope the smug arrogant 'progressive' minority and the BBC understand whose fault this is.

That -Patriotic Voice-is exactly the sort of stupid remark that just irritates the perfectly decent people who vote UKIP. It is not a Fascist Party it is founded on a defence of the constitution not a revolution against it. It is an heir to laissez Fair Liberalism not the vaguely collectivist Fascist Parties.
People who know nothing might observe a period of silence and certainly refrain from being rude to others who choose to vote for an entirely respectable and democratic Party with a valid (if wrong ) point of view.

I do think the results in Rochester are revealing: Labour's gaffe does exemplify their problems with their core electorate, and all of the "mainstream" parties are really struggling with the conundrum of attacking UKIP's "policies" without accusing their voters of being stupid. The problem is that while UKippers probably are registering protests against the "Westminster establishment" they are clearly cherry-picking single policies which resonate for them personally. They don't really care that there is absolutely no coherence to the party's policy as a whole, and that's why they can't tell you why they're putting that X in that box. They're certainly completely immune to the cries (from all quarters) that the blame for the mess we're in, both locally, nationally and globally, is not a failure to lock down the borders.
I want to see a party which has principles whose policies arise directly from those principles; furthermore I want to see policies which are based on real evidence and careful analysis rather than being reactions to media driven prejudice. I do not want to see fag-packet ideas blown up into Party Policy, often popping up in response to some equally ridiculous "Policy" from the other side. It's like pruning a triffid: unless you deal with the root of the problem you'll just make things worse.
I'm beginning to think I might be Green....

Spain likes retirees because they bring money, but its up to them to decide their own policy. Other UK workers in the EU are there for specific employment and their counter parts would e welcome under any immigration policy, certainly UKIPS
Labour have tried to to yoke this entirely different subjects together but rightly failed . It was only a ever a cheap trick
One way to have a proper and open debate about immigration would be to stop propagating lies that everyone can see are lies the second they look out of the window . I have lost count of the misleading articles in the Guardian claiming to prove immigration does not depress wages. Try telling any tradesman that.

I don't know about complain, but they certainly have noticed: there's plenty of commentary in the Spanish press about it. The coastal regions have a huge burden of UK nationals who have retired there and use (and use quite heavily) the Spanish national health system. I was amused to see Farage desperately trying to reassure those expats about their futures should UKIP manage to get the UK to exit the union - apparently he'll do a special deal so that they can remain, because, obviously a not-economically productive, elderly and increasingly infirm person is a fine addition to their country. I'm not sure what money they bring: most of them are on quite limited fixed incomes employing other Brits to do the jobs about the house. Does that sound at all familiar? At least the eastern Europeans who came here filled some big gaps, as anyone who tried to get a plumber or skilled builder in London would tell you, and contribute to the economy.

Oh god forbid that working class people should earn decent money! What Spain does is up to Spain.
One of the things I liked about lard arse Thornberry in addition to the string of mouthwatering Islington Properties she owns was that she found some ancient by law that allowed her to send her kids to a Grammar in Potters Bar
Obviously she supports UKIPs educational policies
I also enjoyed Polly Toynbee writing in support of the Mansion tax form her Villa in Tuscany
Corrupt slugs all of them but none of that means we should leave the EU. That would be sheer madness and as I am not a politician I can frankly say that until white van man man can spell his own name I not going to give a frack what he thinks either
