Didn't manage to get their party name on the ballot papers? Inspiring.

As I understand it most of them appeared as Fresh Start for London candidates.

The Greens have a large city council and an MP. So they are much more successful politically than UKIP and somewhere about the direct opposite of your party.

Still, I almost admire your spirit - it shows that hope springs eternal.

They are left-wing fascist scum. Read their manifesto of nationalisation and collectivism.

Quite an ambition. I cannot afford to build a house so I will break your windows.

At some point in time some of the existing Ukippers and nascent Ukippers will realise that they are pursuing a sterile programme leading to nowhere good. There are only two possible scenarios that can arise out of this fierce support for Farage. One is the eventual eclipse of your party, the second is the reinstatement of Labour as the government for another decade or more. We are not talking about a pastime - that of Cameron-bashing - but of the essential good of my country [and yours].

PS You did not get 13% in the local elections overall - be careful of quoting stats around me. You averaged 13% in the measly 700 seats you were able to contest.

Who cares? Election to a toothless debating chamber which has degenerated into a gravy train. The power is not there.

Howver, looking at the UKIP performance in London and elsewhere just this month I feel that your party is not closer to power than the Greens who have an MP and more councillors than you have.

In London UKIP finished 8th behind even the BNP.

The deficit of of 1997 did not have hidden the huge number of billions of Pounds of actual debt that would have accrued if nearly all new schools, hospitals and the like had not been built by PFI.

Although these were "off balance-sheet" debts they still contribute heavily to the interest burden which does form a very real part of the current deficit.

You are attempting to compare two very diiferent scenarios.

You might also remember Brown's continuous boast over the number of consecutive quarters of growth up to September 2007. During those the deficit and the national debt rose without stop.

Sad indeed. You are clearly a sad little man.

As far as Labour and UKIP are concerned anything that Cameron does is wrong. Most of the thread above is a pathetic series of kneejerk attacks.

I can see no reason whatsoever why he should not spend time with his family, play a diverting game, go out with or sleep with his wife. He was not elected Pope.

From my reading it seems that Cameron has all too few Sundays off.

Why should he not support a British team in the final? You tell me and never mind the bull about it being rude to Merkel. The sainted Mandela did that with South Africa's rugby team and was enormously praised.

Let's hand over the ruin of Afghanistan to the Afghanis - next week.

Yet another totally impractible bureaucratic nightmare.

Excellent news.
