Just in case there is anyone out there, who still isn't quite sure whether to vote UKIP or not, here is yet another reason not to do so !

[-Talbot-]

Lots of people like porn...don't you like porn?

[Svejk]

Oh dear, never mind.

[woofgang]

How well known is he? I have never heard of him.....but then I don't use porn.

[mikey4444]

Woofy...he is the owner of the Express, a minor British newspaper....you know the one !

Its the one that thinks Diana was murdered, instead of being killed in a car crash, when she wasn't wearing her seat belt, in a car that was being driven far too fast, in a narrow and dangerous Parisian underpass.

woofgang, he owns or owned top-shelf magazines with names like Asian Babes, and he also owns the Express. I did predict some time back that the Express was the paper most likely to come out in support of Ukip, but that the other right wing press would rally round the Tories. I seem to have got this right (for once in my life)

[Psybbo]

Ha, not even an acknowledgement!

[woofgang]

oh....ok (wanders off still none the wiser)

[Kromovaracun]

What's wrong with porn?

[ummmm]

So he owns some soft porn mags?

[naomi24]

Why is that a reason not to vote Ukip?

[askyourgran]

I think porn is popular with a lot of people of all races and creeds, and I don't think Ukip are bothered where the money - however small the sum - comes from, and I don't think it would put many people off their vote either. Hellooo.....have you gone?

[jno]

I think he used to own hardcore websites too, ummmm; I don't know if he still does. The authorities as usual didn't bother to check them out before okaying him to buy the Express.

[ummmm]

Cheers, jno, as you can tell I've never heard of him. Not that it would make any difference with my decision to not vote UKIP.

[-Talbot-]

I think he has gone to bed AYG... to watch por

[-Talbot-]

Oops that went early...

To watch Porridge, I think he is a big fan of Ronnie Barker.

[naomi24]

^ haa! Very good. :o)

[katerich48]

I notice there is no mention of some of the charmers that Labour or the Conservatives take donations from..

Don't let mikey's facts get in the way of the truth.He is currently suffering from election fever and will say any drivel (I notice that is his latest word of choice) to have a go at UKIP. It becomes repetitious and boring.
Walking away from a debate that he opens is nothing new. When he put big foot in big mouth re the tragic skiing accident he conveniently walked away and failed to come back to answer his many critics when the real facts unfolded.I am still awaiting his retraction. Even JTH reminded him of the irony of "his thoughts and condolences going out to a Labour Councillor because of his son" but could not show pity to a woman who tragically lost her son in an accident.
A shameful man who hasn't got the moral fibre to apologise.
