// 'Decent' UKIP voters'? Isn't that an oxymoron? // ..and that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Chris just created another few UKIP voters there. Another few people who were just 'UKIP curious' are now thinking 'Well, that settles it then, you can f* off, telling me I'm not decent just because I'm concerned about the EU and immigration'

At the risk of being accused of blowing one's own trumpet:
I have no criminal or civil convictions, have never taken/don't take drugs, have served my country as a soldier and my community in a volunteer capacity and am currently in my 22nd year of employment in the NHS.
I'd probably refer to myself as a decent sort of bloke.
Maybe some need to realise that the demographic of the UKIP voter has changed dramatically over the last 10 years:

Last paragraph in the link:
In the south, the Ukip vote is going to the immigration-averse aspirational working class — split fairly evenly between former Tory voters, former Labour voters and those who were not inclined to vote at all because they believe that politicians are ‘all the same’, etc. The old caricature of the typical Ukip voter as a splenetic and ruddy-faced Bufton-Tufton, enraged beyond measure at some Brussels ruling on the size and shape of parsnips, is by now close to ten years out of date. Indeed, the votes Ukip are picking up now are the people who have decided most of our recent general elections, from Mondeo Man through to Worcester Woman. Hard-working, anti-toff, middle-income, tough on that besom Laura Norder, virulently anti-immigration, politically incorrect and most of all, feeling let down by the three main parties.

YMB...your question of 09:20...yes I do, far more than I currently trust Osborne. What Balls might do after next May is conjecture, I will admite but what Osborne has done since 2010 is fact.
To quote Alan Johnson again :::
"Under Osborne, productivity is abysmal, business investment is weak, and exports are struggling. Meanwhile our national debt is rising faster than any other country in Europe, bar Spain. Borrowing was supposed to 10% down by now, according to Osborne, but is instead 6% up. The Coalition has borrowed more in 3 years than the previous Labour borrowed in 13. Immigration, often blamed on Labour, has risen out of control since 2010, despite dave saying that he would do something about it"
