[Politics] Dick Braine Elected Leader Of UKIP

[Eeyore]

No, really, it's true. The new party head in their perpetual leadership contest is a 'far-moderate' who has spoken well of Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson.

I can now finally say that the last three years has merely been a beautifully crafted Shakespearean comedy.

Can we now go back to how it was before ? My sides are splitting.

No, really, it's true. My sides are splitting.

No, really, it's not.
His name is actually Richard Braine, deliberately misreported by the London economic, which is obviously a left wing outfit.

They don't even get as many votes as the Raving Looney Party these days, totally irrelevant.

I thought UKIP had disappeared into obscurity since Nigel ‘man of the people’ Farage had started his new vanity project? Oh well, gives people who start sentences with “I’m not racist but...” another party to vote for I suppose

The reason starting of sentences is the likes of "I'm not racist (sexist, homophobic, etc., etc.)" is because our fragile liberal society tells us we aren't allowed to say anything anymore without qualifying it.

These days you get arrested and thrown in jail if you say you're English.

Oh what a Carry on.

Just like for the West Lothian parish choir, it seems that Susan Boyle and her fans have moved on to bigger and better ? things

Moaning that you get called racist/ homophobic/ sexist for saying racist/ homophobic/ sexist things must be really hard on those who start sentences with the aforementioned. Thoughts and prayers for them at this difficult time where our 'fragile liberal society' calls them out for their outdated views.

It's just so hard being English

Please find a post where I am and I'll hold my hands up. For any other reason please f**k off.

I never said you did I'm merely pointing out that people who usually start sentences with "I'm not racist but..." seem to get so confused as to why saying something racist would lead to an accusation of racism.

All very confusing!

Weird. I've said that a few times. Maybe I should keep quiet..

The name 'Richard' is historically associated with 'Dick'. Whether he uses that or not is irrelevant.

Perhaps if he led another party it would be different.

But, let's face it, to support, let alone be leader of UKIP, you would have to face such satire.

Any party leader who positions himself as a moderate and simultaneously praises Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins would find themselves with such a convenient nickname.

UKIP are pretty irrelevant now anyway. Thankfully.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Quite what? Don't leave us hanging.

 

[Eeyore]

Quite what? Don't leave us hanging.

Quite well... more attentive to auto correct.

It's always worth remembering that half the British electorate are more stupid than the average person
