Congratulations UKIP

Congratulations UKIP and Dave Pascoe on managing to put together a whole leaflet without mentioning Europe or Muslims once - I always knew you could do it.

[Lord Elpus]

Pascoe must be either drinking frog juice or his leaflet photo is 25 years out of date, it shows him with a full set of front teeth (clean) and he's sporting a head of dark hair.

Anyone got a scan of it?.... I'm yet to receive a flyer from ANY party through my door. Dunno why... 

[steveL]

Ah I remember dark hair.... just

He used that photo when he was in the Tory party 12 years ago.

That looks a bit unfortunate. 4 highlighted policies, one of which appears to be No A&E ?!!*

Glad he knows what people are angry about.

I suppose being from UKIP it will take him another 2 years to think about a way to tackle any of them.

Sorry Steve I don't quite understand your bit about "4 highlighted policies, one of which appears to be No A&E ?!!*"   when the leaflet says "Local issues"  and no I am not a member of UKIP.

[Mican]

One other little thing Steve, with your obvious dislike of UKIP and your comments about them, why the hell have you put their election leaflet on here, afraid to say you seem to have dropped one there and no I am not a UKIP member.   

[steveL]

This site has always allowed leaflets to be posted from any of the political parties. This one deserves a special mention because previous UKIP election leaflets have predictably ranted on about Europe and Immigration even though they were produced for local elections.

I'm pretty relaxed about it all, especially as having taken the hint and focussed more on local issues rather than the usual xenophobic diatribe, UKIP seem to have lifted most of their local policies from the PHF website.

I should really charge them a fee.

[Mican]

Further to my post above, this particular post was brought to my attention by someone from my apartment block who reads the posts but doesn't post himself, his point is why are PHF candidates able to use this site to try and ridicule other candidates, to the best of my knowledge you have lost yourselves 3 votes from people in my near vicinity over the things being said on here, so may I suggest you be careful what you put on here.

which post?

Looks like Ronnie didn't get the memo:

"RONNIE WHITLOCK (UKIP)

"The threatened closure of Hartlepool Hospital is putting the lives of us all in danger, it is an unforgivable act.

"This is a result of gross maladministration by the entire council – they must be held to account.

"Also, if elected I will push for a return to weekly bin collections.

"I know many of you wish to see the end of the fortnightly collection policy.

"It must, of course, be always remembered that we have this policy inflicted upon us because of the punitive fines structure of the EU Landfill Directive.

"I will ensure that voters are made aware of the connection.

"I will fight to see The Northern Lights Academy used to its full potential following the large investment in its creation.

"Until we leave the European Union problems such as the bin collection issue cannot be resolved by local government."
"

I've just been sent a very interesting link to a website... it's amazing where people's political opinions evolve from.
