Ukip Or Edl

[dunnitall]

Other than 'neither', which one would you choose to vote for IF you were to vote this way? I just wonder what the difference between the two are or isn't there any difference?

[Canary42]

No difference. Both extreme Right hiding all policies except those which appeal to the increasingly large xenophobe population.

Just like the Nazis in Thirties Germany.

The UK in UKIP stands for United Kingdom, presumably representing the interests of the entire Nation (in their opinion).

The E in EDL stands for English, therefore I assume they are only active in and for England.

I know you have said that "neither" isn't an option. Is sticking pins in my eyes instead a possibility?

[dunnitall]

Good grief, that bad eh? If they are hiding policies how do you know and if you do canary, what are they please?

[dunnitall]

Lol sp extreme way out!

[kvalidir]

Both horrible examples of human beings- I'd lose an eye before I'd vote for either.

[Canary42]

Catch-22

[dunnitall]

Are there any other non pro parties that would see beyond what the EU stand for?

[mikey4444]

Like most of us on here today, I would n't vote for either. The Far Right is on the march throughout Europe and we ignore them at our peril. There is a debate going on at the moment whether UKIP is xenophobic or racist. To me the difference is minimal. As regards the truly horrible EDL, this gives me an excuse to post one of my favourite You Tube bits. Here is the EDL's Education spokesman, interviewed 3 years ago :::

Neither!

[mikey4444]

OOOOOOOOh methyl...some people on here won't like that !

Where is this debate going on - and is the third option - 'concerned' - being considered?

[emmie]

UKIP

[Gromit]

I keep having to say this, the EDL are a protest Group and not a political party.

They do not put candidates up for you to vote for. They do not contest elections.

If we have to compare Apples and Pears, I would say UKiP are the lesser of the two evils. The EDL are the BNP with a rail ticket.

[emmie]

mikey, you and Gromit have posted the same link endless times, don't you think its time you both gave it a rest, sure that we could find Ed Milliband saying, doing something stupid, it wouldn't be hard, or anyone in the other main parties, this doesn't help matters to have a reasoned debate,

[emmie]

has anyone at all ever actually listened, watched Nigel Farage,
if you have then please try and get this info perspective, as to Lord Haw Haw, heaven almighty, what is wrong with you.

[emmie]

it didn't apply to just one man,

methyl thinks that if we don't vote on Thursday we'll have a Nazi state on Friday. Nuff said.

[emmie]

just so you know, the one we know about is this man

William Joyce replaced Mittler in 1939. Joyce was American-born and raised in Ireland and as a teenager he was an informant to the British forces about the IRA rebels during the Anglo-Irish War. He was also a senior member of the British Union of Fascists and fled England when tipped off about his planned internment on 26 August 1939. In February 1940, the BBC noted that the Lord Haw-Haw of the early war days (possibly Mittler) was now rarely heard on the air and had been replaced by a new spokesman. Joyce was the main German broadcaster in English for most of the war, and became a naturalised German citizen; he is usually regarded as Lord Haw-Haw, even though he was probably not the person to whom the term originally referred. He had a peculiar hybrid accent that was not of the conventional upper class variety. His distinctive pronunciation of "Jairmany calling, Jairmany calling", which could be described as a "nasal drawl", may have been the result of a fight as a schoolboy that left him with a broken nose.[17]

Joyce, initially an anonymous broadcaster like the others, eventually revealed his real name to his listeners. The Germans actually capitalized on the fame of the Lord Haw-Haw nickname and came to announce him as "William Joyce, otherwise known as Lord Haw-Haw".[1]
