Kilroy-Silk is the worst kind of low-life populist appealing to the most primitive traits in people. He is like a British tabloid that has taken the form of a person.

Anwyay, he didn't get a place in parliament.

He could still run for the by-election which is taking place.

What you mean "appealing to the most primitive traits in people"?  

EiZei: Did you watch it the other night when Kilroy-Silk got interviewed by someone on TV?

Was pretty funny has the interviewer was like, you said this and this etc etc. Then Kilroy comes out with "Actually if you are going to quote me, make sure you get it correct. I didn't say that, I said [this and this] but I'm also going to say "they cut peoples heads off aswell""

edit: Veritas Total 39,540 votes (65candidates) with 1 results yet to be counted due to by-election.

So how does this refute the fact that he is an ignorant racist? All those quotes were made up? What?

Don't expect to get an answer to that question anytime soon!

FUD, playing on all the traditional populist shite. Issues are twisted and trivialized to fit a form that

It's even in their logo "..the straight talking party". I mean who wouldn't like a party that talks straight, unlike those other politicians that always lie. And how could we possibly want "incompetent bureaucrats in Brussels" to run our dear country at the will of the French and the Germans. And what about those other very folks coming into our society from non-British countries such as Poland or Spain and taking all the jobs and the social security from the people who were actually born here?

Well, those things make very much sense.. if you have the mental capacity of a three-year-old and if you are incapable of some very basic critical thinking.

How much are the politicians lying. How much do you have to be a bit more careful what you say, when you are supposed to represent a wide variety of people? In what way has Kilroy-Silk been "straight talking"? And what about the EU? Are there really only incompetent bureaucrats there? Are really the Germans and French running the show, or does in reality Britian have a big say? What benefits does Britain get from European cooperation. Would it be economically sound to terminate that relation?

And what about those immigrants, aren't they enforcing the British work force, paying taxes etc How many don't Is it a real economical problem or not etc

Bottom line, the issues that parties like Veritas claim to cover are far more complex than they present them (not so very straight-talking of them, don't you think?). They trivialize the issues and package them in a form that people who don't like to think for themselves accept. It's all package without contents.

[wheres my rabbit ? 10]

I just read this on another ofp forum i visit and i cant believe this is true but they tell me it is , i am still having trouble believing it

Quote[/b] ]Monster Raving Loony Party, Overview of Policies, 2005

Our team of experts has decided that Income Tax has not proved popular with the public and will therefore be abolished. It was started in order to finance the Napoleonic war in 1799 and we now believe that the time is right to announce the cessation of hostilities with Napoleon. Some of the money left in the coffers will be used to fill in our part of the Channel Tunnel in case no one has mentioned it to the French. Any remaining money will be strategically placed on a horse at the 3-30 at Haydock Park at odds of at least 12/1 in order to see us through until the next election. Income Tax will be officially replaced by people lending the government a bob or two at the end of the week when we're a bit skint.

Other policies:

We will issue a 99p coin to save on change.

The Official Monster Raving Loony Party will not join the single European currency. Instead, we will invite all Europeans countries to JOIN THE POUND.

Rich people should be taxed to pay for the printing of money, as they use most of it.

Tax credits will be paid to nice people. There will be a "total *******" tax for everyone else.

We pledge to reduce class sizes by making the pupils sit closer to one another and issuing them with smaller desks.

Bright pupils will be provided with dimmer switches to prevent them distracting the rest of the class.

The number 13 will be abolished due to its longstanding unpopularity. The bus to Acton North will now not have a number on it but not much else will be affected. Therefore if you see a bus with no number on it, it will be going to Acton North. Please remember this for future reference

We will replace the House of Lords with the House of Cards, to make it easier for the Government to deal with.

All cars will be converted to run on Veno's to help stop congestion.

We fully back the government's policy of discouraging binge drinking by opening pubs for 24 hours. We believe that 24 hours is not quite long enough and propose to make the length of a day 32 hours long so that the pubs can be open for even longer. We also rather like the government idea of coming down hard on drugs by legalising them. Regarding tobacco it will now only be legal to smoke it with cannabis. Anyone found to have a ciggy not containing any cannabis will be made to walk to Coventry with a stone in their shoe, unless they come from Coventry in which case an alternative major city will be substituted on the advice of a committee who will meet far too often and eat dope cakes.

We will set up an enquiry to find out why there's a Polar bear on Fox's Glacier mints.

All fast food will be clearly labelled "May contain traces of real food".

All foreign G.Ps in England and Wales will be taught the local dialect so they know when their patients feel Jiggered (Tired), Manky (Rough), Gipping (Vomiting) or have got somit rang with their Fizog (Face).

To prevent congestion on hospital wards, all hospital visits will be cut to 30 minutes a day, with the exception of Coco the clown to entertain the nurses.

Any politician wanting to start a war will be shipped off to the country in question with a bag of conkers. They can then conker the country themselves.

Anyone criticising defence will be made to mend it with de hammer and de nails.

Anyone believing that their pet understands every word that they say to them will be asked to make the pet write a thesis to prove it.

OAP Meals will be served on plates not on wheels.

The Olympic Games will only allow British sports people to take part in order to help our gold medal chances.

Now i know why those iraqi rebels are fighting hard for , they dont want this madness of democracy .

i voted tory, blair betrayed the armed forces with his cuts, he has ruined the army, i am thinking damn well if i still want to continue as a reservist. we get poor kit half the time thats well over ten years old, my S10 is one year out of date and im still waiting for it to be replaced, he has made us smaller and still expects us to do the same amount of work if not more.

[HotShot 0]

The Conservatives wanted to save these ships and regiments that will be disbanded, but surely that will come at a price from other areas of the forces? Save the high profile things for the election, cut down on the low profile.

However overall i dont think there is much difference (in terms of what it gets at the moment) in any of the party's spending on defence, they all seem much the same.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

I can't understand how anyone takes Kilroy seriously; he seems to have driven off on his own tangent, thinking there's a good number of like-minded people that will vote for him. Admitedly he's exposed the faults in UKIP, but it seems to me that he has his own agenda and he doesn't care what other folk think. That's not what Parliament's about.

As for the Tories' policy on defence, seriously, I don't belive they have any real vision for what they want to make out of the UK, I think they only criticise Blair's faults in the hope of getting votes. None of their campainging seemed consolidated, it was just an attack on Labour.

[Bordoy 0]

I don't see how Kilroy can be more acist then the Conservative party, when the Tories immigration plans are based on colour and creed, when Veritas' immigration plans are based on numbers and required workforce for the year.

eg.

Tories would cut down immigration numbers of people from middle east and palces around there, while any amount of white eastern europeans area allowed in.

While, Veritas will work out a justified number for the required workforce for the upcoming year. This will implemented to everybody, not just asians.

Aye, my brother aint happy as well as his Regiment is getting algamated with 2 other regiements.

I'm very sad that Galloway got a seat he's a slimy piece of shit. the way the election in Galloways areas was run was disgusting.

he is a traitor and deserves to be in prison

Can't agree more with both of you. He should be in the Tower of London and not allowed out.

JP mean Jeremy Paxman, while GG mean George Galloway.

JP: We're joined now from his count in Bethnal Green and Bow by George Galloway. Mr Galloway, are you proud of having got rid of one of the very few black women in Parliament?

GG: What a preposterous question. I know it's very late in the night, but wouldn't you be better starting by congratulating me for one of the most sensational election results in modern history?

JP: Are you proud of having got rid of one of the very few black women in Parliament?

GG: I'm not - Jeremy - move on to your next question.

JP: You're not answering that one?

GG: No because I don't believe that people get elected because of the colour of their skin. I believe people get elected because of their record and because of their policies. So move on to your next question.

JP: Are you proud -

GG: Because I've got a lot of people who want to speak to me.

JP: - You -

GG: If you ask that question again, I'm going, I warn you now.

JP: Don't try and threaten me Mr Galloway, please.

GG: You're the one who's trying to badger me.

JP: I'm not trying to badger you, I'm merely trying to ask if you're proud at having driven out of Parliament one of the very few black women there, a woman you accuse of having on her conscience 100,000 people.

GG: Oh well there's no doubt about that one. There's absolutely no doubt that all those New Labour MPs who voted for Mr Blair and Mr Bush's war have on their hands the blood of 100,000 people in Iraq, many of them British soldiers, many of them American soldiers, most of them Iraqis and that's a more important issue than the colour of her skin.

JP: Absolutely, because you then went on to say "including a lot of women who had blacker faces than her"

GG: Absolutely right, absolutely right. So don't try and tell me I should feel guilty about one of the most sensational election results in modern electoral history.

JP: I put it to you Mr Galloway that Nick Raynsford had you to a T when he said you were a "demagogue".

GG: Sorry?

JP: Nick Raynsford. You know who I mean? Nick Raynsford. Labour MP?

GG: No, I don't know who you mean.

JP: Never heard of him?

GG: I've never heard of Nick Raynsford, no.

JP: What else haven't you heard of?

GG: Well, I've been in Parliament a long time...

JP: He was a Parliamentary colleague of yours until very recently.

GG: Well, most of them just blend one into the other, Jeremy, they're largely a spineless, a supine bunch.

JP: Have you ever heard of Tony Banks?

GG: Yes I have, yes.

JP: Right, Tony Banks was sitting here five minutes ago, and he said that you were behaving inexcusably, that you had deliberately chosen to go to that part of London and to exploit the latent racial tensions there.

GG: You are actually conducting one of the most - even by your standards - one of the most absurd interviews I have ever participated in. I have just won an election. Can you find it within yourself to recognise that fact? To recognise the fact that the people of Bethnal Green and Bow chose me this evening. Why are you insulting them?

JP: I'm not insulting them, I'm not insulting you

GG: You are insulting them, they chose me just a few minutes ago. Can't you find it within yourself even to congratulate me on this victory?

JP: Congratulations, Mr Galloway.

GG: Thank you very much indeed. [Waves, removes microphone]
