UKIP Gaffe?

[Scampi]

If it's all so innocuous why is Farage claiming Bloom's ruined their conference?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I don't support ukip but having heard it on tv tonight, he made an innocuous joke which seems to have made headline news. Can't help thinking that the press have a hidden agenda here. The man who said it is undoubtedly an idiot but the furor is ridiculous.

Indeed this bloke seems to be a bufoon and the party is no better, but this is a joke - how all the media is headlining this i appalling. It's not something I would say or think, but it was a joke and in context, nothing wrong with it - especially if you know where the word comes from. The media are out to get Ukip.

Anything to avoid talking about politics, eh?

Think everybody knows the BBC is left wing...had this been a Labour politician...the news would've been a lot different and smaller coverage.
I can see UKIP winning in the European election...how many times have we been promised a referendum on Europe by both Tories and Labour ? Yet they have one for AV voting...
Immigration is a big issue as well,we build lots of homes...then let immigrants in who have to be housed...it's an issue that has to be faced but parties are too scared to bring up the debate in fear of being called 'Racist'. Labours open door policy has a lot to answer for.
At least UKIP will get these issues on the agenda....Tories said that they would discuss the Human rights bill and set up one of our own British Bill of Human Rights...(Blocked by the Clegg gang) wouldn't you rather have an elected body to put down our rules...than some unelected eastern European Judges...(some where only barristers beforehand) telling the UK what they can do and what they can't...if you disagree with the Judges verdicts...you cannot vote them out.

Nick Robinson (BBC Political Correspondent) is the former President of the Oxford University Conservative Association.

Immigration is what it has always been a convenient smoke screen for the latest crisis of the system.

It was a joke no one can say anything any more free speech is dead

At least Bloom is not a Westminster clone like LibLabCon repeating politically correct scripted nonsense like the other parties they don’t believe and will never fulfil

Sign petition to allow UKIP to participate in 2015 General Election TV Debates. Almost 22,000 have signed. At 100,000 it goes to Parliament

Loathsome party imo but he clearly meant in the context of "a woman of dirty, slovenly or untidy habits or appearance" as opposed to the Oxford English Dictionary's alternative definition i.e. "a woman of low or loose character". His audience evidently also appreciated the context judged by the resultant laughter. So it wasn't meant in the most offensive context, it wasn't directed at anyone specific and it was as part of a joke which his audience clearly recognised and appreciated.

The joke was clearly based on the fact that the word 'slut' has two meanings. It'd be like saying to a gay man 'I better you've always got a ****** in your mouth,' then claiming it was a reference to meat balls. You might be able to get away with it your mates down the pub but it's not really appropriate for a party conference.

Bloom's a dinosaur and an embarrassment to an embarrassing party.

I always find it strange that UKIP seem to get rubbished more than any other party including the BNP.

Absolutely pathetic I say. Silly sods getting offended on behalf of everyone else. Thing is nobody has been offended, not the women in the room apparently. Thought the brochure incident was also funny running a close second to, two jabs prescott.

This is the other reason for his suspension: http://liberalconspiracy.org/2013/09/20/watch-ukips-godfrey-bloom-hits-michael-crick-in-the-face/

Because if Farage didn't come out and decry Bloom's behaviour, it would be used as a stick to beat him with. Albeit a larger stick than the "Yid" stick following Cameron's refusal to condemn Spurs fans chanting it.

A party with a Leader that has monies in the Cayman Islands ain't gonna be socialist.

I'd expect many wealthy politicians, in all parties, have money squirrelled away in places like Cayman.

 

[Half Time Pies]

Very true but Bloom is in the George Galloway bracket of attention seekers.

 

[BBassic]

What makes me laugh about UKIP is their logo. Makes them look like poundland. That and their backwards ideologies.

Personally I like the suggestion of William Morris in his 'News from Nowhere' utopian novel. Just use the Houses of Parliament as manure storage for fertiliser for farmers....

Point taken. However in this instance he's been stitched up good and proper.

That is outstanding, and furthermore it is clear evidence of the continuing Marxist infiltration of the BBC.....err

I consider myself a leftie loon and I find the current public humiliation of ukip members badly misjudged. It will only serve to steel support for them by folks who may have been on the fence. True, they are a party of half wits but can we not focus on their pathetic policies to discredit them instead?
