BNP candidate forcibly removed by Police at O&S election hustings.

By scrubber | Published: January 11, 2011
As a Libertarian, I hold no torch for the BNP, a far-left, socialist nationalist party, but they are, as far as I can tell, a legally-constitued political party, and they have fielded candidates in elections in the UK for many years. As such, they have a perfect, and legally-endorsed, right to play a full and [...]

A Christmas message to the Euro-parliament from Nigel Farage.

Y’know, this man is amazing. Just watch the Belgian squirm, and at the end, the side shot of Barroso laughing. Shameful: Wikio Wikio

Hannan vs Farage in the European Parliament

By scrubber | Published: December 15, 2010
There are many out there who criticise Nigel Farage for his speeches in the European Parliament just as there are many out there who, like me, admire him for them. As we all know, he’s been hauled over the coals in the past by the Powers-That-Be, and taken a great deal of stick in the [...]

Nigel Farage on Fox News again, in fine form. Interesting that they should describe him as an “English Tea Partier”… Wikio Wikio

Daniel Hannan, Nigel Farage, and UKIP.

By scrubber | Published: November 30, 2010
Ok, voting intention/Party loyalty cards on the table (regular readers will know this anyway)… Here’s what I said on the matter back on May 5th: Here in Ipswich, as I’ve covered elsewhere, I’m urging everyone to vote for Ben Gummer, the Conservative candidate. Not because I support his policies, which in many cases I don’t, but [...]

Who the hell do you people think you are?

I meant to post this up a couple of days ago, but ran out of time. Nigel Farage tells the EU Parliament a few home truths. Cracking, classic Farage. Enjoy: Wikio Wikio

UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom escorted form the European Parliament Chamber

By scrubber | Published: November 25, 2010
Most of you will have heard by now that Godfrey Bloom was thrown out of the chamber of the European Parliament yesterday after being gratuitously rude to the Euro-Socialist leader, Martin Schulz. Mr. Shulz was claiming that the UK was standing in the way of European integration, and Mr. Bloom, unable to contain himself, burst [...]

BBC interviews the four UKIP leadership candidates

By scrubber | Published: October 22, 2010
The BBC interviews David Campbell-Bannerman, Winston McKenzie, Tim Congdon and Nigel Farage here. It’s a real shame the presenter had to be so sneeringly patronising about it all… Wikio Wikio

Why shouldn’t Britain go the same way as Greece? (and other musings)

By DiamondGeezer | Published: May 5, 2010
Prevalent in the news today have been the riots in Greece. The country is now sufficiently unattractive to investors and ratings agencies that their bond markets have frozen, and due to this and their enormous deficit they are no longer able to service their debts. Greek workers’ unions hold enormous sway, and thanks [...]

Suffering from election fatigue?

By DiamondGeezer | Published: April 28, 2010
I think I probably am, but not in the ways you might immediately think. In this era of media- and spin-led politics, we are seemingly interminably subjected to a constant barrage of soundbites, ‘news’, glad-handing, palm-pressing, baby-kissing and any other inconsequential drivel that our political classes and their sycophants in the media care to inflict upon [...]
