Bizarre Euro Elections in the UK

[pete]

UK Independent Party

One of the strangest political parties in a while.

That Kilroy fella is a bit of the wolf in sheeps clothing.

More blue-rinse to me. Full of little tanlanders living on past glories. Bunch of w*nkers. The half-Mick Kilroy lived in Spain for years, getting his tan a bit browner while dodging taxes while Joan Collins hasn't paid a bean since my father was at school. Says it all.

LOL, yet you wanted a vote in the Irish Elections!

[Dodge]

As usual when something half new happens in British politics the media go way, way overboard... One Lib Dem guy was asked whether this vote was a sign that the British people wanted out of Europe and he replied "well they got about the same vote as us and we're the only pro-european party so i think the public wants to get into europe more" and then rolle dhis eyes. BBC guy just smiled...

Also seen Kilroy Silk being interviewed on Sky and he start waffling about his garden and Adam Boulton asked him "is this the garden in Spain or the one here" "I love both my gardens was the answer" And this guy used to be labour....

Oh I see. Kilroy's got a vote in British elections while he lived abroad and frankly that doesn't bother me. My problem is that someone who love's Britain so much and works in Britain feels the need to commute back home to Spain. Don't expect him to support Raul and the boys while he lived there (for the sake of the party he's living in Britain now) but if you are going to become a member of parliament of a political party whose raison d'etre is xenophobia then practice what you preach.

As for voting rights for emigrants, guess you are the type of person who'd like to see a return to ratepayers and men only voting as we don't want to follow anyone else's lead?

Yeah cos it's exactly the same issue

"while Joan Collins hasn't paid a bean since my father was at school. Says it all."
Whats the difference between you and Joan Collins in that respect? You slag her for supporting a political party when she doesn't live in the country or pay taxes there, yet expect the same right off Ireland.

i can't stand kilroy, hes like the british neil prenderville. didn't he come out with a load of racist crap recently and got fired by the bbc because of it? if i remember, he slagged off the irish at some point too. him getting elected is worse than springer in the us. maybe not as bad as dana tho!

How can you equate Dana with racism...didn't she sing about "all kinds of everything..."

Macy, you are one sad c*nt. You've been following me around for a while like a bad smell and you come up with some cr*p arguments. Dear me, did I put your nose out of joint in the past. Ahh you're upset about the tans f*cking it up in injury time and the greatest fans in the world still behaving like what comes out of my a*se?

So where did I say Joan Collins or Kilroy should as British citizens not be entitled to a vote that I think if they were Irish they should? This BTW is a question for you which means I would like an answer.

Me and those two w*nkers share the fact that we live abroad from the country of our citizenship? So what? I slagged off her support for joining the Blue Rinse version of the BNP. If she thinks Britain was so great pre-EU, why did she leave? Unlike many Irish at the time she didn't have to. Why didn't she move back after making her millions? As for half-Paddy Kilroy, the man - like many more - pretends to be more English than the English themselves. My father left Ireland to find a job! Kilroy had a job in Britain already and commuted to Spain. Very patriotic. Now, he's got one in Brussels, taking a salary from the organisation he despises and allegedly claims is rulling Britain, while putting 4 million jobs in jeopardy. Still he won't pay the consequences and not just because he'll move back to the EU.

Emigrants should not have the vote? Why? Emigrants provided funds and soldiers in the war of independence. Emigrants helped keep the Irish economy afloat with the large influx of remittances from the word go until Ireland's entry into the EU aswell. Emigrants have property in Ireland and pay the same rates as anyone else. Emigrants are affected by the choice of government as many want to return. The lack of paying taxes does not prohibit those in Ireland who are net takers from voting.

What's your argument? Er, we don't want a system that every other European country has! And I thought this Hillbilly business about Longford was a myth. Delude yourself as much as you like red-neck boy, but the reason emigrants don't get the vote is that there are more Irish citizens living outside Ireland than there are in Ireland.

I don't think The Pixies spent that much time here, apart from last Saturday.

I don't necessarily want Ireland to just copy what everyone else has for the sake of it. I just don't believe that people living outside the country should have a vote, and clearly niether do you given your attitude to the likes of Joan Collins and Kilroy-Silk - except their different because they're "tans" and didn't have to move.

"Hillbilly Business" - I thought you were above that type of stuff considering that's what you berate others for doing. You really should read other threads if you think I couldn't possible understand what it's like to be Irish in England , and I never expected or believed I had a right to vote in Irish elections.

He dismissed us as a nation of priests and pixies.

His mother is Irish.

There must be a term for this sort of behaviour. Something like Kreuz Jacobs Syndrom by Proxy. Your mother/father is Irish - sometimes even both - and you start slagging of your ancestry in an effort to ingratiate yourselves with the natives that you long to belong to. Mind you saying that, my own stalker from Longford will be on here soon arguing that it's the same with those like me and the place we were dropped.

Anyone heard about the JAK cartoon of the London Evening Standard from circa 1982? It depicted a billboard advertising a film with numerous neanderthals with blaclavas called: 'The Irish'. The film was described - in a pun of the various snuff movies and vidoe nasties of the time - as 'the ultimate in psychopathic horror.' The cartoon caused uproar at the time and the Livingstone led GLC cancelled advertising in the rag. The twist however was JAK, who continued to depict the Irish as Punch type semi-apes in donkey jackets (See Liz Curtis's book about Irish stereotyping. Nothing but the same old story): His mother was Irish.

I don't necessarily want Ireland to just copy what everyone else has for the sake of it. I just don't believe that people living outside the country should have a vote,.

I couldn't care less how you feel, but I've put down a list of reasons that should entitle - at least those that have lived in Ireland - the vote.This isn't down to copying other countries although the fact that democracy in these other countries entitles all citizens the vote over a certain age, somewhat undermines Irish democracy as if it banned women or the unemployed from voting.

...and clearly niether do you given your attitude to the likes of Joan Collins and Kilroy-Silk - except their different because they're "tans" and didn't have to move. .

Clearly you have a problem with people from southern England. Clearly you are a bit obsessive about me. Clearly you come up with some strange, often laughable, arguments to counter my suggestions that emigrants should have the vote. One more time, where did I say they shouldn't have the vote? See, you're suggesting I said - or now implied - something, but all you can give in evidence is conjecture. The UKIP are a bunch of sad Little Englanders whose prejudices - just like the BNP - will turn Britain - if it's still in one piece which I would seriously doubt - into a fourth rate country.

"Hillbilly Business" - I thought you were above that type of stuff considering that's what you berate others for doing. You really should read other threads if you think I couldn't possible understand what it's like to be Irish in England , and I never expected or believed I had a right to vote in Irish elections.

I know where you're from. Just thought you might have moved to Longford because of these stories. You know. Feel at home.

You stop stalking me with your sad comments - e.g. you shouldn't have a vote on citizenship because it doesn't affect you (like it affects you any more or less than me) OR most 'tans' are 'c0ckney w@nkers' - and I'll quit the insults. OK?

Unfortunately I have to read your ramblings as I'm a mod on the forum, much as I wish I could....
