'Teflon Nigel has set the agenda. Can he stick the election pace?'

Congratulations to love him/hate him Nigel of course...but afore ye go....and say it's about politics that's not the reason I posted this.

Four years ago you'd all have laughed if I'd have said a man outside the main three parties could win a national election.You'd also have laughed if I'd have said people and some of the national media would start taking false allegations seriously!

Could the two become linked? Well possibly.The main three parties have been rocked in ways never before seen.Cannot sit back complacently,and expect voters to tow their set line.
Will the liberals remember their name grew out of the idea of 'liberty'?
will the Tories remember they've got more in common with those persecuted by false allegations than the baying feminists who've got us in this mess?
Will the Labour party remember they're core vote is the working class family,not struggling along as the party of Black Lesbian social workers?

And more importantly will we all learn that sensible time limits on allegations,and the removal of the evil of compensation rewards...yes ye guessed it...will leave more time and resources available to counter the very real threats we as a society face?

ITK must be pulling out the last strands of his hair and maybe Mrs ITK thinks Farage is true gentleman.

Even the Daily Mail smears and sneers is giving UKIP great publicity and no doubt the BBC are speechless what to say about this poll.

Yes there were idiots in UKIP but not as many in the Tory party who many are still there.

The Times chose as Man of the Year a few years ago the loony who set fire to himself in Tunisia. Quite apart from the lack of moral sense in voting a suicide a hero, this choice was so ludicrous that it poisoned all future recipients.

Afraid both of ye missed my point...and JK this Tunisian who felt a burning desire to achieve something actually did...without him I doubt the 'Arab Spring'could have happened....and funny enough Tunisia was the only country to claim any benefit out of it.

PS - Didn't you get a version of man of the year year for our eurovision song contest win in the 90s?

Apart from Arab Spring being a bloody awful thing in general, Tunisia is hopefully getting out of it OK but I think would have done anyway without any deaths or violence. Killing yourself is a bloody unsatisfactory way to achieve anything.

UKIP doesnt seem to be all that united down here in Pompey.

The Times Man of the year award is a spoof ... a ridicule .... a bit like Channel 4's alternative Christmas message !

The loonies don't realise they are being laughed at lol ! (no wonder its so easy to get their votes)

Any publicity is good publicity.

'Immigration beats economy as number one worry for UK voters'

'Polling data also showed Europe has increased hugely as an issue of concern over recent years, from just 7 per cent of voters choosing it as an issue in June 2010 to 25 per cent in October this year.'

Seems Mr Farage is much more in touch with voters than the rest...who seem to be playing 'catch up'.

'In recent months, as both immigration and Europe have soared as issues of concern, Ukip has moved up in the polls. In May it triumphed in the European elections, winning 4.3million votes and beating Labour into second place and the Tories into third.
Ukip has also won two House of Commons by-elections in Rochester and Clacton after MPs Mark Reckless and Douglas Carswell defected from the Conservatives.'

Perhaps some on this board think Nick Clegg should have won?..

Yet many polls have been fixed so Labour will win by the majority.
