The video that earned me a visit from the plod...
I have watched the rise of UKIP for sometime and never saw much support in Lancashire as their original message and political stance stood by that of the 2010 manifesto, a business ideology that appealed to the large business owner/corporations. But with the haste to hide that old message of business over people as UKIP claw for the protest vote of the "every man" the growing rise of this political faction has been more than noticeable.
I originally knocked on the door of Ian Robinson (running candidate for UKIP in Great Harwood) to express my concern about UKIP and the implied policies (no manifesto) they had. The conversation lasted a good 20 minutes and stayed civilized throughout, ended with Ian inviting me to the UKIP youth meeting at McDonald's in Accrington the following day... which I attended but had to leave as the UKIP youth leader arrived over 45 mins late.
Both times my van was with me and obviously my opposition had been controversial and what must have been felt like a threat to the UKIP campaign, with someone recording my registration number.
Later that day I spotted a UKIP sign that had been defaced and I made this video;
Great Harwood Opposes UKIP
I merely laugh at the defacement of this propaganda, I took no part in damaging this sign as I have no interest in breaking the law... only documenting other people's reactions to UKIP. (I have found out this one sign has been replaced 9 times... Speaks volumes really).
Anyway it had been a couple of weeks of not seeing or hearing anything, when the police arrived...
"There has been an allegation made against you of criminal damage"
Well I had no idea what this related to until the constable notified me it was a "UKIP" sign, I laughed at first and asked if there was any evidence and apparently "my" van had been seen near other UKIP signs... Ok, so a WHITE VAN has been spotted near some signs? What?
I had also been given a "warning" not to approach the UKIP group... Hang on, if they are out in public and I happen to be in that public place.... "Don't bother them", If by bother you mean speak to them... which is all I have ever done then you can forget it, If anything it only wants me to step up a gear and expose the moronic nonsense these individuals are pushing into the fear filled minds of people who are sick of the Lib/Lab/Con rhetoric.
Phoning the police because I laughed at something someone else did... Makes all comedians outlaws!
So that is that, I won't say what's next... but stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteSeeing as UKIP is mostly made up of ex Tories who don't want to be in the EU because it's stopping them treating British people badly, then I would call them anti British. Although it was the Tories who first got us into the European market when they thought it would only be good for their corporate donors. As soon as there were directives good for workers by allowing enough breaks and holidays, Thatcher started turning us into a state of the USA. Such as when she helped cause Lockerbie by making us the only country that allowed the USA to use us as an airport to bomb Libya. Other countries made them fly around. Then John Major first made us the 2nd largest force to invade Iraq, and committed us to staying in the region as the only other country to go on regular bombing raids with the USA up until the 2nd war, so we were so deeply involved we couldn't have left if we wanted. Plus more Tory MPs voted for the 2nd Iraq war than Labour MPs. The UKIP only don't want to be in the EU because it's in their way of treating British people like dirt. They would still have immigrants from poor countries who they can treat as badly as they want to treat British people. Such as David Cameron's Nepalese nanny who he gave a fast track passport to. Sad how they have managed to attract certain tabloid newspaper readers, by making them think they care about the UK because it's in the name, as if the ex-Tories would magically start caring about he NHS and British people.
