I am LOVING this story:

[Link]

Woman of the people, Emily Thornberry, who is always banging on about growing up on a council state (she did move to one, aged 7, after her wealthy parents - her father became an assistant UN secretary-general) turns out to be a big fat bourgeois metropolitan snob!

Who'd have thunk it!!

I am amazed how many times politicians shoot themselves in the foot these days by mouthing off on social media. You would think they would consider the probable reactions before they tweet!

I'm torn between enjoying the established parties being given a pounding from all sides, and being a bit concerned about UKIP.

This.

The more I hear from UKIP - and I mean what their actual spokespeople say, not what the media reports - the more unsavoury I think they are. Patrick O'Flynn made some statements on 'Any Questions' last week which were at best, stupid populist bullsh*t and, at worst, thinly veiled racial prejudice.

However, this is trumped by the fact that the Tory and Labour elites are spitting feathers and panicking and would dearly, dearly love UKIP to disappear.

Thornberry resigning after lifting the lid on the metropolitan bourgeous snobs at the heart of all Westminster parties is the icing on the cake.

Roll on UKIP.

Which is why the General Election will be fascinating.

Us Brits are particularly good at voting just to annoy the establishment (John Sargent in Strictly comes to mind) - so its hard to guage whether the UKIP swing is down to voter bloody-mindedness or its a genuine birth of a political party becoming a serious 'player'.

I'll vote for anyone to keep Ed Balls from controlling the abacus and plunging us into more financial woes.

The more I hear our left wing friends banging on about how UKIP will fall away come the election the more inclined I am to vote for them.
It is a risk to offer Labour a potential route back to power but I think that people should man up and vote wjth their hearts. Ed Milliband is a dead duck.

Well I for one am absolutely over the moon at last night’s result.
It’s about time a party had the balls to speak some truths about what is really happening in this country. We all know what is going on when we look around us and see the lack of school places, hospital beds and social housing, this isn’t the England that I grew up in but nobody wants to mention anything for fear of being shot down. Good on UKIP.
A lot of people who knock UKIP are the same who laughed at them for wanting to keep the pound a few years ago and claimed that the UK would become uncompetitive if we did not join the Euro, however it’s now pretty much widely accepted by all parties that had we of changed to the Euro, we would have been in a lot worse state now. Funny though, none of the established parties care to bring this up anymore and the cry to join the Euro has vanished.
Thank goodness a party is now representing the ordinary man in the street instead of pandering to the fringes.
We are living in interesting political times. Up the revolution!

The Lefty clique on the BBS will be throwing their toys out of the pram for sure.
It is funny but not surprising that a labour politician photographs a typical white van man house in a mocking tweet. THis is the same party who opened the floodgates and allowed totally uncontrolled immigration into this country. Now we have gangs of sexual abusers, slavery, witchcraft, pickpocket gangs, religious extremism, medieval treatment of women all happening on our doorstep, thanks to Labour and thanks to the EU.
No wonder people are voting UKIP.

Which of course represent the vast majority of immigrants. I for one will not accept any services from someone whose parents weren't born in England. In fact, I am so fed up with England becoming international that I have decided to move to Spain.

The majority was far less than was expected. I am confident that the Conservatives will win the seat back at the 'General Election'. Certainly NOT the resounding victory which UKIP expected.

Edited by Willo (21 Nov 2014 9.11am)


You are unreal, Willo.

Do you receive an e-mail from Conservative central office telling you what 'line to take'?

Line 1 - we don't care about Clacton, it's all about Rochester

Line 2 (after it became clear the Tories were going to lose) - the Tory vote held up, it's Labour who really suffered

Line 3 (expect this in all the interviews today) - it's a by-election, people are expected to kick the government

You LOST mate. And the people at the top of your party, whom you so faithfully follow, couldn't give a fig about you or your principles. Indeed they secretly despise you. You are merely a means to the end of them staying in office. Wake up and smell the coffee.

What errant hogwash.
Ther result was much closer that the forecasters had predicted and Conservatives feel that we can win it back at the 'General Election'.
