The media's stupidity in attacking UKIP; it's worse than the fucking HuffPost

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
We see this not only in the left-wing papers of the Guardian and the Independent, but even the decidedly conservative Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph have their time to insult UKIP and accuse Nigel Farage of various - and largely untrue - things.

For instance, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, a journalist who identifies as a Shia Muslim and a feminist and writes for the Independent, made the claim that the media ought to be controlled to stop Nigel Farage from broadcasting as much as he'd like, and then going on to say that we should be "very worried" about him and UKIP.

Of course, this is just one instance spreading fear about UKIP while, oftentimes, criticising them of spreading fear at the same time. I wonder how long it'll take the media to realise that Farage is essentially a British Reagan, and will stop mindlessly assaulting him.

And this woman in the fucking Telegraph is using an unfortunate encounter with a racist to hate on UKIP. Fuck me.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I'm no advocate of UKIP.

...But then again I'm no advocate of censorship either. If a feminist Muslim can express their distaste of Ol' Nigel then he too should  be allowed to express his views, even retaliate seeing as he isn't spouting hate speech.

UKIP are shit, Nigel might be a charismatic soul but his party is just bad news .______.

Brb turning the UK into the USAyy lmao.

Reintroduce firearms (Handguns) AND remove the NHS!
Yaaaa no thanks, I like living in a first world country.

That being said, the Media is trying so damn hard to smear them that it's going to bloody backfire and end up drumming up support for the underdog. Gotta love the Great British Public.

*sigh*

I'm just going by the video of Nigel saying that they want to remove the NHS and replace it with the absolutelydisgusting.jpg US model of healthcare.

Link? Date?

They haven't spit out their full manifesto for 2015 yet, but you should probably look over their policies page before passing judgement >.>

Quote
The National Health Service

– UKIP will ensure the NHS is free at the point of delivery and time of need for all UK residents.

– We will stop further use of PFI in the NHS and encourage local authorities to buy out their PFI contracts early where this is affordable.

– We will ensure that GPs’ surgeries are open at least one evening per week, where there is demand for it.

– UKIP opposes plans to charge patients for visiting their GP.

–We will ensure that visitors to the UK, and migrants until they have paid NI for five years, have NHS-approved private health insurance as a condition of entry to the UK, saving the NHS Β£2bn pa. UKIP will commit to spending Β£200m of the Β£2bn saving to end hospital car parking charges in England.

– We will replace Monitor and the Care Quality Commission with elected county health boards to be more responsive scrutineers of local health services. These will be able to inspect health services and take evidence from whistle-blowers.

– UKIP opposes the sale of NHS data to third parties.

– We will ensure foreign health service professionals coming to work in the NHS are properly qualified and can speak English to a standard acceptable to the profession.

– UKIP will amend working time rules to give trainee doctors, surgeons and medics the proper environment to train and practise.

– There will be a duty on all health service staff to report low standards of care.

Can't remember, it was an interview with him from a while back.

And that's not too bad <.<
I still don't exactly trust them not to just be lying through their teeth though >.>

Last I checked, the US isn't being turned into Britonistan.

And if reintroducing firearms is a problem then the UK isn't any better off than it is when guns were banned, at least not from a societal standpoint.

Hokai, I'll clear a few things up.

Of course the US isn't being turned into britain, what Farage was outlining in that interview was turning the UK into the USA. Me no likey.

Firearms were never totally banned, we still have shotguns and rifles etc for sporting/farmers. What we don't have are handguns, you know, the firearm with which the most crimes are committed per capita. What I don't want to see is the sudden reintroduction of handguns to the UK when it's pretty unnecessary to do so.

I was referring to radical Islam's encroachment on the British Isles.  As for handguns, I guess it's a cultural thing.  If I wasn't allowed to keep a Glock in my glove box while driving downtown at 2:00 a.m. I'd feel significantly less safe.

Ah right, yeah something does need to be done about it. It just has to be done thoughtfully so it doesn't inadvertently make the problem worse and radicalise people who otherwise wouldn't give a shit.

And yeah, it's one of those things where the most anyone on the street is ever likely to be packing is either a boxcutter or their carkeys. Knives are fairly common mind you, but you can walk away from a knife fight a lot more easily than you can from a gunfight >.>

Well I'd say that a chav with a pig sticker is a slightly less hazardous than a chav with a firearm. You can either run like buggery and you won't get shot in the back, or you have a decent chance at disarming them (If you know how that is) <.<
