I agree totally George and think 'Boris' would do well to join UKIP!

I also hope the voters don't forget to put the cross in the right box come the General Election. If they do then there is no hope for our kids and beyond.

Great result for UKIP's Nigel Farage though!

Cameron says we did okay under the circumstances...

Milliband says we did okay under the circumstances...

Lib Dems says we did okay under the circumstances...

But in reality the only Party that did okay under the circumstances was Nigel Farage and UKIP with 25% of the vote up and down the Country. That to me says 'Nigel Farage' for our next Prime Minister!

MEP Elections are coming soon where UKIP are expected to do well and the General Election here soon after that. I reckon Nigel Farage has played his cards exactly right.

Yippeee, we will be out of Europe soon, immigration will be capped and hopefully the Human Rights Treaty will go also. Lets get rid of those that we don't want here, that take our benefits and give us more grief than reasonable.

I don't think UKIP should even try to win an election yet, just severely upset the mainstream parties. They need to gain experience before trying to run the country.

What they have done is to show the fat-cat complacent professional politicians is that the public are completely disillusioned with their shenanigans and lies and that there is an alternative.

Right now UKIP wouldn't be able to effectively run UK but, after a couple of years in local councils and then in Parliament, well, they'll walk it if the country is in the same state.

I think Government and Opposition have got to have a long hard look at the way they operate and ask themselves some searching questions. And, mores the point, act on the answers. If they don't, well, UKIP will jump all over them. Now they've shown they are an effective 4th party, anything could happen!

I agree totally with what you say Andrew. However, it reminds me of a situation that I was in 40 years ago when I was applying for RAF/USAF/MOD Contracts for Pest Control Services.

The 'Defense' Contracts in particular for the USAF bases, indeed all MOD property and the Hospitals required you to be an authorized provider (or words to that effect, I can't remember exactly) of pest control Services before you were permitted to Tender for those Contracts, but how could you be authorized to Tender if they didn't give you a chance to get in and show what you could do in the first place?

As it happened I ended up with 41 RAF/USAF/MOD Contracts and exactly 100 Hospitals to service from Oxfordshire to London. I became a force to be reckoned with, the result being I was quickly bought out by another Company and then drifted into oblivion!

I hope that won't happen to UKIP.

Well they are still talking about the double whammy that UKIP hit them with last week, but wait to see what happens next....Europe and then the Elections here!

Milliband has told Cameron not to farage, Farage! What does that mean, anything at all? No just more rubbish from a boy who doesn't have the answer for the public, who know exactly what they want.

And now even the old Tory 'heavy guns' are getting involved with 'we should leave Europe'...keep up the pressure Nigel Farage UKIP you now know that you have at least 25% of us behind you.

Heard that Farage thing by Milliband yesterday,Ron,nothing in the dictionary about it.

  If it wasn't for U.K.I.P. a referendum on the E.U. would never have been on the agenda,and that really aggravates me;the politicians are there to do the will of the people and the people want a referendum on the E.U.As I have written in an earlier post I wouldn't believe a word from Cameron's mouth.

  In the Queen's speech nothing about a referendum so it won't be put in law,the much talked about minimum pricing for alcohol and no mention of that.I like a drink so I didn't want minimum pricing.

The only polite name I have for Cameron is a bulls..ter and nothing less, perhaps other people have a different term but they all come down to the same thing.

I agree George and think Camerons days really are numbered with a new leader in the wings maybe, but how can they change things, when they are stuck in their 'toff' ways. There was a time I really liked what he said he talked sense without notes, but today he can't talk without giving us the stuff that you refer to above, which I edited incidentally as we are a family friendly site.

UKIP's Nigel Farage is saying it for us, as we want it said!

It's interesting George that this page has had over 8000 views so far! Somebody is keeping an eye on what we are saying eh?

Pity they don't join in with comments though, at least Nigel Farage would get a broad POE picture.

No need to apologize George but I do try to keep it family friendly for POE owners Chris and Sarah, unlike a few other 'social' networking sites eh?

Besides it makes you feel that way doesn't it?

C'mon UKIP!
