skinz Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 And why was he told not to do further media interviews? Because he refused to stop saying what Smiffy says he didn't say. ---------- Post added 23-01-2014 at 20:18 ---------- Probably because he doesn't speak for UKIP, his beliefs are his beliefs and not UKIP's beliefs. UKIP believe in free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely get out clause I have to admit. Politician / party member says positive thing = talking on behalf of entire party. Politician / party member says negative thing = talking on their own and of no relation to the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he is free to say whatever he likes, but not as a UKIP representative. ---------- Post added 23-01-2014 at 20:29 ---------- It's a lovely get out clause I have to admit.

Thats not unique to UKIP, all parties are guilty of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 UKIP believe in free speech. UKIP's website's What We Stand For section has a sub-section called Free Speech and Democracy which contains the quote "Political correctness is stifling free speech". Nigel has gone all PC. ---------- Post added 23-01-2014 at 20:30 ---------- Thats not unique to UKIP, all parties are guilty of it. So the party that claims to be unlike all the others is in fact like all the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosxuk Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Thats not unique to UKIP, all parties are guilty of it. And UKIP are supposed to be different. After all, that's why they stood against the gay marriage bill. Besides, it's not exactly a positive trait of a party is it? And yes, other parties should be called out on it when they pull the same manoeuvre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoast Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Out gays trying to in themselves. Society has come full circle. ---------- Post added 23-01-2014 at 19:03 ---------- Not from you, no. You just say maybe we should try national socialism but don't actually want to. Is this the political equivalent of dogging? What you get up to in your spare time is none of my business,Oh and by the way show me where I said we should try national socialism,go on brain box,lol I wont hold my breath,you really are dumb to keep falling into the same trap. Here is some advice,when you say you can quote someone make sure you can do it correctly otherwise keep stum,better than making a fool of yourself isnt it.

dosxuk Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 You appear to be getting irritated by something you can't change. If I appear to be getting irritated, then you'll find it's just your mistaken interpretation*. I actually find your constant trying to weasel out of confirming anything quite amusing. When you directly contradict yourself it gets even better. You've provided quite a few laughs in my house tonight. * not that you'll ever admit to a misinterpretation, obviously.

oooo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 And UKIP are supposed to be different. After all, that's why they stood against the gay marriage bill. Besides, it's not exactly a positive trait of a party is it? And yes, other parties should be called out on it when they pull the same manoeuvre. Can I say something without resorting to the usual......why is it that some think everyone agrees with gay marriage, and persistently harp on about it being so bad to be against it? It's not the only policy that UKIP have, and there are many that agree that they feel it's wrong. We cannot rationalise this gay point as being a reason to avoid UKIP, because like it or not, there are a great deal of voters who think gay marriage is wrong. That's opinion, and it must be taken on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
