Alas powers beyond my control render me unable to respond directly to Matthew. But it's worth pointing out to you at least that this is a thread about ukip and Paul Nuttall so to point to what other candidates may or may not have said is whataboutery. s***e debating technique. No, I believe that it is fair game to make a comparison with other politicians of other parties if we are talking about integrity.

Regardless of who does it, they should be called out. You haven't expressed an opinion on the UKIP leaders 'alternative truths' I note, hence my suspicion of whataboutery.

You try and brush away the issue that Paul Nuttall is a lying charlatan all you like, but it doesn't change the fact it's true.

Surely the point is that UKIP is a crypto-fascist party, now whether everyone who votes for them realises that is another matter.

A UKIP thread started by you with the sole intention of decrying UKIP. Nick, you are gift that keeps giving.

It is barrel scraping garbage by Gusset in his desperate attempt to promote Labour and decry UKIP. A party who will be eating up Labour votes by the thousand in the By Elections and he knows it.

You are deflecting and running away from the topic at hand. What do you think about UKIP Paul Nuttall being found to be a liar and charlatan? (challenge - don't mention any other party or me in your answer) Edited by nickgusset (15 Feb 2017 11.52am)

That is what politics is and you know it full well.

It is easy for UKIP's opponents to hide behind the labelling of them as 'racist' or 'fascist'. It helps UKIP's opponents to justify why they are losing votes to UKIP rather than to face up to the truth that their agenda does not resonate with their core support anymore. These people don't want to listen to the those whose support they need, they wish to tell their support how to think. And therein lies the problem for them.
