UKIP set to resume general election campaign

Explaining his decision to launch his party's manifesto on Thursday, Mr Nuttall said: "We cannot be cowed or allow our life to be undermined by those who wish to do us harm."

good enough reason to get going i would say.
i wouldn't vote for them but expect the main parties to also get out the banners any day soon.

Sounds a bad idea but I guess it depends what they're going to say. If they say we ought to bomb the whatsit out of IS then they would, in my opinion, be justified in breaking this voluntary truce.

[mikey4444]

Emmie...yes, they may do but not today I would have thought.

I'm afraid I just see some old fashioned opportunism on the part of UKIP here.

[Kromovaracun]

Who cares?

[emmie]

i am as sad and heartbroken over the Manchester bombings as anyone, life has no choice but to go on and there is an election looming in a matter of weeks.

[mikey4444]

scooping.....UKIP can say that if they want, without resuming campaigning for the next Election.

[naomi24]

I agree with Krom. Who cares? I doubt many will be listening.

So UKIP is going to restart their campaign tomorrow, do you honestly believe a day or two head start is going to make any difference?

[scooping]

Mikkey4444: Who says they will be 'campaigning'? Let's see what they say.

[mikey4444]

No Vulcan I don't.....I fully expect UKIP to fall on its ass on June 8th.

But the principle that all the other Parties have agreed to is going to be broken by UKIP, and that is the point I was making.

[EDDIE51]

It won't make any difference they still won't get even one MP !

[scooping]

And if they do restart general campaigning they will be rightly condemned.

[mikey4444]

Scooping....the answer to your question is contained in the BBC link that I have provided. :::::

"UKIP leader Paul Nuttall says he is set to resume election campaigning in the wake of the Manchester terror attack"

Couldn't be plainer, could it ?

[scooping]

Eddies: Of course it matters. They created the pressure for the EU Referendum and Brexit won. They didn't need MPs. Geddit?

[ivor4781]

life goes on as i did with 9/11

[ivor4781]

it did

[mikey4444]

Scooping.........so why are they still hanging around like a bad smell ?

I am in danger of breaking my pledge to suspend campaigning, so I won't be making any further comments on this post, or on any others concerned with the Election, at least for a few more days.

[EDDIE51]

I'm well aware that UKIP were responsible for getting the referendum , but it does not stop me predicting that they will not get a single MP in the next election. They have already been virtually wiped out at the local elections! , their (and all other )Euro MP's will soon cease to exist. Where will that leave them?
