(satire?)
A UKIP candidate has been suspended from the party following revelations he was a fully-paid up member of the shadowy far-right organisation the United Kingdom Independence Party.
The suspension comes as UKIP party leader Nigel Farage strongly rejected claims that many of his supporters had far-right links to extremist political parties such as UKIP.
In an interview with the BBC, Farage denied UKIP support was widespread within UKIP and pledged that UKIP would not tolerate any member of UKIP being a member of an openly racist organisation such as UKIP:
“I am really sorry that millions of people who have decided to vote UKIP this month have been let down by a few members of UKIP who have been revealed to be members of UKIP. I can assure anyone thinking of voting UKIP that UKIP will do everything in its power to root out the scourge of UKIP from within the ranks of UKIP.”
Although the man has not been identified, due to his right to appeal to UKIP’s national executive committee, another member was suspended recently from UKIP for being a member of UKIP during 2008-2012 while a second had his membership suspended after he was found on several occasions to have donated money to UKIP. UKIP’s constitution bars individuals who have a history of involvement with far right organisations such as UKIP from becoming members.
The Independent and Sky News further observe that another UKIP member was also suspended last week for posting a series of offensive tweets on social media urging people to “Vote UKIP on May 22nd“.

Bring back immediately women's state pension at 60 / Against loss age related tax allowance at 65 said:
Yet again a left wing forum saturated with the brand name UKIP and constantly harping on about a party unlikely to win council seats, but the irrelevant European Elections with few if any voters coming out to it.
If the socialist and trade union backed No2EU had received attention about its policies anywhere near as much as UKIP has for all the reasons NOT to vote for it, then it would be believable that these forums actually care about women, disabled, chronic sick, unemployed, young people, poor pensioners and the working poor with their starvation symptom Rickets suffering kids.
See real socialist parties on offer on May 22 council and European Elections on my personal website:
http://www.theswansnewparty.org.uk
The state pension sits pretty in a full and ring fenced National Insurance Fund, that has not needed a top up from tax for decades, despite all the hype that the retirement5 age had to rise because people are living longer. So the reason is bogus.
Women began the loss of state pension pyaout, available yet you can stay in work, from 2013, with so far 530,000 being effected.
Women MPs kept pension payout at 60 if within 10 years of thatr age from 2012 (and male MPs also from 65).
So has women are the biggest losers even than men from Austerity cuts in the public sector, with the majority made redundant by being early retired from 50 (now from 55), where half of all women work.
Half of all women are within the working poor and half of women over 50 are within that working poor.
And the majority reason women over 50 and 60 not in work is due to disability / chronic sickness and those benefits being lost or never gained.
But even worse is to come from 2016.
See if you lose most or all of your state pension:

“Thet are scared for some reason.Probably because they realize subconsciously that their left wing ideas are not palatable.” no! but by cause of terror, that is a product of decades of thatcherite oppression and with no effective means of speaking out against the state, as those means have now been dismantled/disassembled/de-existed…contextualize your/these type(s) of statements in a full history and the truth emerges…to ignore the affects of grinding poverty or the fear of it, is disgusting…this is about humanity…politics is either humane or it isn’t, humaneness respects the human rights to vitals of life, they should not be allocated by virtue of capitalist ideals, deserving, undeserving…humanity is now reduced to the mere politics of who gets what…

Overburdened, you must be mad. We have had 12 years of left wing government followed by a middle of the road coalition. Right wing politics are no less humane than left wing politics. Look at Russia, China,,North Korea etc.

don’t take you lot long before the mental health slurs emerge….thatcherite blair was not socialist, blair is a capitalist….. “Look at Russia, China,,North Korea etc.” to claim that these countries were socialist is a complete misconception, they are/were closed loop, with a system of enforcement that was designed by its leaders to be protective of this self appointed leadership. ie, run by depot/dictators, that is not socialism, but capitalism….human beings are naturally socialist, but we have been forced away from natural socialism, by bullies, who take from others by force..

What do you mean by “you lot” you know nothing about me. I called into question your sanity because your statement makes no realistic sense. You have confirmed that with your response. Where exactly do you sit on the political spectrum? You are left of Labour but not as far left as communism? You seem to have a huge chip on your shoulder. As for Socilaism – it would be great if it worked, but humans are NOT naturally socialist, particularly men. Men are driven to achieve, to go out and do what they can to build for and protect their family. To fight off others to protect their kin.
No wonder you have an issue with mild right parties such as UKIP when you think that Blair is right wing. I had to laugh when I realise you were implying that Blair was a Thatcherite. You need to take a good look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself some questions about whether you are in fact an extremist yourself.

I happen to think that the best way to help people is to help them help themselves.This is what my instinct and intellect tells me. If I was a complete dreamer I would love it of nobody had to work and we all lived 200 years, never got old, had no worries, no hunger or pain etc. but lets be big grown ups now. That can never happen on this world. Why waste your time an energy on a pipe dream when you can turn your attention to making what we do have (warts and all) a better place/way to be. The world does not need dreamers it needs people that act, people that work, people that drive to succeed.

being big grown ups is being outraged by what we are doing to ourselves….there is no other place waiting for us when we die, this is it….of course people should work if they are able, work is natural but we no longer work in a natural way….there are many ways to contribute other than to narrow minded unified capitalism, that make the rich richer, and the poor poorer, which is the reality of where we are now, of course we grow old, of course we all die…
help others to help themselves do what exactly, destroy our humanity and our bio-sphere?
how about hydroponics, aquaponics, poly-tunnels, permaculture, self build, self build ecovillages, terrapreta, microgeneration, solar capture, living off natures income rather than its capital….there is an endless list of creative ways that we can live and all prosper, without being controlled by the state, so that only it prospers from our labours, and has a “sustainable”, future at our expense, so that we are in constant debt too the state owners to pay the price for our lives…..perhaps you enjoy serving your masters, i for one do not. …less than 12% of the uk is built on and even this area could be put to better use…we need a green socialist revolution, it is not a choice it must happen, for all of our sake’s…..
