mikem8634 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If UKIP don't want to sign it, why should they have to? Maybe they think it could be used against them? Liberals have got considerable previous for accusing people opposed to multiculturalism and mass immigration of being "racists". They don't have to, nobody has suggested they do have they? Ukip Councillor Richard Geoffrey Fairman told The Huffington Post UK they were surprised by the motion, which was put forward so late as to give the party little time to digest it. He said: "Some parts of it were politically correct and therefore not right. My main stance is anything that is politically correct is probably wrong. These parts concerned racism and human rights, the human rights that are allowing criminals in this country to avoid deportation." Is he not stating that the pledge's stance on racism is wrong?

Happ Hazzard Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I don't know what the pledge says. Whatever it says, UKIP or any other party should not be obligated to sign it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Geoffrey Fairman told The Huffington Post UK... My main stance is anything that is politically correct is probably wrong. Bonus points for the scale of sweeping generalisation to UKIP there. It's politically correct to say we shouldn't push disabled people out of wheelchairs and then point and laugh at them being unable to get back up again. Does that mean UKIP (or Geoff "Fairman" at least) think that's it's a good thing for us to be doing then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenRivers Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 On that note, should we laugh or cry?

People didn't vote UKIP to see them signing documents that tie them to left wing agendas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that The Daily Mail is a right wing newspaper that supports the Tory party don't you. The reality is that the Tories are a lot less popular now than they were at the last election and even then they couldn't win. Labour are still around 11 points ahead in youguv polls which I believe would give them a 100 seat majority at an election. Failing a majority they will form a coalition with LibDems.

I have no doubt Labour will win the next election. Spending and borrowing will go up, Miliband has already said as much. Free money goes down well with the masses, especially when the truth that it isn't free is hidden from them. It doesn't get more populist than that. Labour will make a mess of things again, some other lot will be left to pick up the pieces in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
