This is what happens in a "post-Christian" country.

What makes me a bit wonder is that Ukip can take an Irish actor for posing on a poster about EU workers taking British jobs, posing as a British builder.
And this doesn't bother voters nor that the ordinary voter on another post is actually one of Ukip's event manager.

31% in today's poll for Ukip Shocked

@Walter Hinteler,
The big problem is that most people don't take the European elections seriously. More often that not they arrive mid term when the current government is at its nadir of popularity. We've been told so many times that the European parliament has no real power anyway, so for many people, who can even bother to vote, it's just one great big protest vote.

Voters who would never vote UKIP in a Westminster election, but believe all that bollocks about Brussels and straight bananas, vote UKIP out of sheer bloody mindedness.

Well, it has been a similar problem here ... until the last one noticed that
- this is part of democracy,
- this is THE way to get some influence in/on policies in the EU. (The EU’s executive body [parliament] IS quite powerful.)

@Walter Hinteler,
Eurosceptic tabloids like The Sun, The Mail and The Express help to fuel ignorance as well.

The great English people's swing to UKIP sends out the clear message that we're beginning to get sick of all the blacks such as Lenny Henry demanding "black rights"..Smile

@Romeo Fabulini,
I've always suspected that Ukip cares about British citizens like the Nazis did about Germans - the latter got sick about Jewish citizens, the Ukip about even more of the own country's nationals.

@Walter Hinteler,
You'll find precious little common, (or any other form of,) sense in Portsmouth.

@Walter Hinteler,
It reminds me of when Harold Wilson said that Sir Alec did economics with matches and the next day he set fire to his pocket after lighting his pipe with a match.

The great British (and American) people put up with blacks whining about "black rights" for many years, but now we're beginning to get sick of them.
For example I can no longer watch a film or TV show if its got a black "star" such as Will Smith, Danny Glover, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Laurence Fishburne, Samuel Jackson, Eddie Murphy etc.
You'd think Hollywood moguls would realise that black stars lose them box office revenue because many whites simply won't pay to watch a black star.

What nonsense.
Sidney Poitier, Whoopie Goldberg, Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington...
Some of the highest-paid and respected stars in Tinseltown, over decades.
Money talks.

@McTag,
It's obviously similar to liking or disliking different teas for Ukip

When I heard they were remaking Jerry Lewis's "The Nutty Professor" i was delighted, but when I learned they'd cast a black (Murphy) in the part I lost interest and have never watched it and never will.
There must be thousands of whites who feel the same way. One day the movie moguls will wake up and realise black stars are losing them box office revenue.

Hey McTag I've been meaning to ask, are you one of them Scots who'll be voting for Scottish independence?
And if Scotland does become independent will you be going back there or stay in England as a foreign immigrant?..Wink

Besides others, only British citizens resident in Scotland can vote.
Didn't you read that in the the Daily Mail, the Express or the Sun?
