My Dad's a great bloke
Except he's started prattling on about voting for UKIP (after voting Tory since the days of the three-day week). I tried explining that

a: A few kneejerk bullet points do not make a full manifesto
b: Said bullet points are complete bollocks anyway.

Any other way I can make him see the folly of his ways?

Edit: and he doesn't even read the Daily Mail, or heaven forbid, the Express, thank god

Their PPB
was fantastic.

I felt like I was watching a mail order ad. Buy your racism now and pay in 12 easy monthly installments of £19.95!!!

Someone posted a link to a Charlie Brooker article the other day
in which he lays into said PPB in that delightfully angry way that only Charlie Brooker can. I'll see if I can find it...

Are quite scary, but UKIP are just two stops short of Dagenham.

let him vote for whoever he wants
if they actually get some mp or mep they'll have to actually do some work and sort out their ridiculous views.

It's not a large leap from UKIP really.

That is true
though they could splash out a bit more on production values.

They spent all their money
on the fake office. Did you not see the book stand they had?! Attention to detail there, especially the very white very blonde "wife" in the background

Oh you're in for a treat
It starts off saying "Don't turn off!"

It does
I didn't.

Nick Griffin scares me. Simon Darby on the otherhand is a lovely bloke. I've had a good few conversations with him but not spoke to him for a couple of years now.
