A New Tory Low – UKIP Are ‘Detritus!’
Craig Mackinlay, a former Ukip leader standing for the Tories against Farage at the election…
A man who has to be good at reaching out to the thousands of former Conservatives who have this past year signed up to UKIP, you might think.
But no, he exudes the sort of snobbish condescension might expect from the residents of Downton Abbey – and at least they had class!.
=======================
- ===========================
- “Things were all rather different in the old days of Ukip, which had more of an academic base,” Mackinlay says. “It was founded about the EU democratic deficit, now it seems to have descended into immigration and not much more. To an extent, that is a sadness. It seems to be a nerve that resonates with people and they [Ukip] are bashing that drum as hard as they possibly can.” http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/nov/04/ukip-fringe-pressure-group-moneyed-political-force-nigel-farage

OMG, says Little Craig! How dare UKIP brazenly voice popular indignation at the betrayal of the British by HMV in Downing Street? Lo, how this arrogant elitist despises democracy.

And it’s not just UKIP’s patriotism that offends him, it’s the very character of party members.
“….If you ever go to a Ukip gathering, it looks like, dare I say this, the detritus there that have been everywhere else …
I thought it best to locate the dictionary definition of ‘detritus.’
… waste material or rubbish…a loose mass of decaying material…

oooooooooooooo
WHAT A STUCK-UP PRIG! (did I spell that last word correctly?)
Winnie Stewart, and 
Edward Spalton are discussing.

I was in UKIP when Mackinlay was treasurer. He never produced any accounts for members. The then leader ,Alan Sked, certainly was academic. He assured us that the accounts were in proper order but it was necessary to keep them secret from our opponents. The members acquiesced in that, trusting the leadership. I remember talking to Mackinlay about increasing the membership. ” Why should we do that?” He asked ” They only create extra expense”. I assumed it was an odd sort of joke. After Mackinlay flew the coop, no accounts for the missing years were ever found. The books delivered to the new leader, Michael Holmes, were professionally examined and found to be “unauditable”. So no light was ever thrown on Mackinlay’s stewardship. Obviously he and the leadership of the day thought that the UKIP members were “detritus” even then.

Yes, we have just been talking about this and you hit the mark with the Cameron comparison.
A lot of us think the British media today, or most of it. gives us news as fair as Pravda’s used to be in Russia

As we have a Government at present that is allegedly over a £trillion in debt, and obviously in suggesting we now have EU Commissioners, elected Police Commissioners for each EU REGION in the Country and Nation of ENGLAND, which will boost up the debt even higher, what are we-the voters supposed to do?
Accept it all?
Or Vote for the present UKIP in the hope that THEY take us out of the EU?
We know-without doubt-all three major Political Parties want to remain in the EU apparently-forever, YET PREVIOUS PRIME MINISTERS HAVE TAKEN US INTO TWO WORLD WARS TO PREVENT EXACTLY THAT, SO THAT NO FOREIGNER MAY GOVERN US.
So what exactly are we supposed to do especially when people keep voting for them, perhaps putting THEIR Political Party before the Freedom of All in this their own Country that so very many gave THEIR lives for in that last World War.
