So typical of the right. Rabble rousing and spreading hate, while at the same time getting work done on the cheap when it suits.

Just from the title alone, bad move.

You can hire cheaper labour from commonwealth countries like india

Just to show my complete ignorance of politics I didn't realise UKIP was anti immigration

That's about the only aspect of the EU I like

All politicians are hypocritical liars. Why should UKIP be any difference?

Does that mean that Churchill was lying in your sig quote?

I think Churchill was an "old school" politician. He got elected and dismissed on what he believed, and wouldn't bow to anyone. He was what? 60 when he first got into public office. A man who didn't alter allegiances for power.

And the fact that I am clever yet so ignorant is further evicence that Churchill was correct.

Churchill also had a quick-witted and mischievous sense of humour, and that quote is typical. Nevertheless, he believed deeply in his country's parliamentary democracy and its constitutional monarchy.

Um, no. he was 26 when he entered parliament, left the Conservatives to join the liberals at 30, first cabinet post (president of the board of trade) was at age 32. Home Secretary at 36, First Lord of the Admiralty at 37, Minister of Munitions at 43, Secretary of State for the colonies at 47. Re-joined the Conservatives and was Chancellor of the exchequer at 50, First Lord of the Admiralty again at 65, Prime Minister (for the first time) at 66.
