Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Wolfe is OFF the UKIP ballot. Standby for fireworks. Farage is still leader and can cancel leadership election and disband NEC. There could be a UKIP split coming.

This little example of ''falling out', together with quite mysterious happenings when Farage was due to visit my home town and speak in Northampton market square about Brexit, is putting me off certain elements of this party.
I would guess there is going to be a split too. Half the party seem to be complete weirdos.
Farage ducked out of doing this speaking thingy at the last minute on the day and instead, went off to give a TV agency interview at an 'out of town pub' - but, as we stood waiting in the market square, could we hell as like easily find out from anyone any of the details on this 'instant new venue':
ie. where is it exactly?; which pub?; is he going to publicly speak at this new pub?; why all the secrecy?; why is he not going to speak as planned and as advertised here today in Northampton?; why don't any of you UKIP guys know what the hell is going on?; this is all a bit weird, don't you think?; etc,etc.
Steven Woolfe's removal from the list of 'Leaders to Vote For', is only because of a minor technicality, IMHO.
Woolfe's exclusion in such a manner, merely shows up what childishness and bad feeling must be highly prevalent inside the party and what a nasty organisation it actually is.
My wife and I have now gone right off UKIP.

Nigel Farage is the ONLY leader that will go on any public outings and
take any questions, unlike the leaders of other parties who stage their
walkabouts to accommodate for any fcuk ups and to look good in the media..

'My wife and I have now gone right off UKIP'
What just because of the removal of Steven Woolf from the ballot?
because there has been worst situations..ie like the election of Neil
Hamilton, who Nigel Farage despises, and for which i'm in agreement.

Bitcon is even less "real money" than the stuff they are bailing banks out with.
Is anyone surprised?

UKIP tearing itself apart...and without a credible leader (Farage), it's a rebel without a cause.

Really.

But that's you Fred, and at least 52% 0f the population disagree with you.
Not that you would notice stuff like that.

Actually just 12% voted UKIP in the last election. That is just 8% of those who could vote

With that reasoning the Tories had less than 25% of those entitled to vote. Hardly a mandate eh?

But the Tories had the most. No party has had an absolute majority for a very long time.
