"if You Shot One Poofter..."

[sp1814]

Does this theory hold water?

Are UKIP so confident in their forthcoming electoral success, that they really don't care what their councillor now say and do.

This is from UKIP councillor, John Lyndon Sullivan:

"I rather often wonder if we shot one “poofter” (GLBT whatevers), whether the next 99 would decide on balance, that they weren’t after-all? We might then conclude that it’s not a matter of genetics, but rather more of education ;)"

Some might think that's a bit disgusting, whereas other might secretly applaud his stance.

But this...this is...just bloody...bloody...err...I have no adjective ready...

Now, I know the normal response is "Well, there are people like this in all political parties, and the media and lefties are trying to deflect from the message of UKIP".

To which I might proffer the argument...

Two fat middle-aged blokes with Nazi tatts, snorting coke off a woman in a threesome.

What would Churchill / Disreli / Thatcher say?

How did we sink so low?

Well, thank you, sp. That's an image I'm never going to be able to un-think.

It's been nice talking to you all - it's probably going to take me a few years to figure out using the internet after I've gouged my eyes out.

Lolwut.

[ummmm]

I wonder how much she was paid for that...

[sp1814]

Apologies Kromovaracun, but if I had to see it, then I'm going to make damn sure that others will have to suffer with me.

you really need to get away from these left-wing websites and develop a more balanced view of the world.

I am sure that Farage will be appearing on Newsnight, or similar, telling us that "this is a one-off" etc, etc. Makes me sick.

What do the apologists for UKIP here on AB think about this ? It would be nice to see how they even try to defend this tw*t. ( Kevin O’Doherty, not Farage ! )

Svejk

Not my fault. I was reading about John Lyndon Sullivan on a gay blog, and followed an unfortunately link to this other story.

Have tried washing my eyes out with a weak solution of Dettol and water.

Not...working...

[royfromaus]

He sounds like a right Fokker.

[mikey4444]

Svejk...are you saying that this photo is a fake, or that the photo-session didn't happen ?

Come on now...you are going to have to try better than that to defend UKIP Svejk !

[Svejk]

didn't say it was fake although it is 'posed' as a piece of 'art'.

[Svejk]

and, naturally, used completely out of context for the delight of brain-dead left-whingers. ;-)

[mccfluff]

i need brain bleach

[Bazile]

Can I please ask a question ?

You know when he grows up and he thinks that the tattoos were a mistake, done in his youth when he was trying to find himself - do you think he will regret them ?

[mikey4444]

Bazile...I don't want to be unduly nasty to Kevin O’Doherty, but I think he has grown up quite a lot already ! In fact, from what I can see, there isn't much more growing up to do !

Svejk...exactly what is the correct "context" that this photo should be taken in then ? It can't be blamed on youthful exuberance, as I have pointed out to Baz ! Was there some deeper meaning that we have all missed ?

[mikey4444]

Reaction to this monstrosity from UKIP :::

“Where evidence is produced to indicate a breach it will be considered at the earliest opportunity by the National Executive Committee as part of an established disciplinary procedure.​”

Can I suggest another, more appropriate response, along the lines of :::

" We are truly sorry and appalled that this candidate of ours has made a complete tw*t of himself and his party, and we offer our sincere apologies to the British public. It won't happen (much) again "

[Bazile]

mikey - da tongue was firmly in da cheek

[mikey4444]

Baz...I tried that once but I gave myself a nasty bite !

[Svejk]

no idea, mikey. Modern Art is a dreadful construct by the bourgeoisie for the bourgeoisie and would be verboten in my world. Ask some of your fellow travellers, it will be more 'up their street'.

[pixie373]

Omg. Are these real live people?

[Zeuhl]

/Svejk...exactly what is the correct "context"/

perhaps for svejk et al, the correct context is that the UKIP message is too important for any facts to get in the way especially those that indicate that some prominent representatives of UKIP are morons, perves or just unpleasant people we wouldn't want to be stuck next to at a party.
