Can’t resist tipping my hat – and propagating the story in the process – to the group ‘Women against UKIP‘, who created this fantastic poster, and to the CakeaDoodleDo cafe in Exeter, who put it up in their premises:
It put a smile on my face when, at least politically, there hasn’t been much to smile about. The story was picked up by the local paper, the Exeter Express and Echo and by Radio 4’s ‘The News Quiz’. You may already have seen it, but it’s worth another look.
Appallingly but unsurprisingly, this outstanding piece of humourous invention has led to threats of violence from UKIP supporters.
In a week when UKIP leader Nigel Farage, the right-wing, rich, privately-educated city banker who ludicrously styles himself as the man of the common people, saw his popularity ratings fall by a massive 14 points after saying that nursing mothers should go out of sight and being called a ‘pound-shop Enoch Powell’ by the excellent Russell Brand, it’s also clearer than ever that UKIP supporters – at least the knowing ones rather than the dupes – are every bit as odious as their leader.
Threatening behaviour from Kippers? Shurely shome mishtake!
Oh no, wait… UKIP supporters recently crowded out the Vox Political page on Facebook, where they proceeded to troll, spam, bully and harass the other visitors until Yr Obdt Srvt did the decent thing and banned the lot of them. The response was a complaint to Facebook – another attempt at intimidation – that resulted in the post naming the offenders being removed by the site.
Readers of this blog will be aware that Vox Political does not submit to threatening behaviour and a demand has been sent to the ‘Book, demanding an explanation of this support for bullying that contravenes the site’s own ‘community standards’.
Meanwhile, an article on Kipper tactics is in the pipeline.
You’re going to love it.
Thanks for the info, look forward to the article – please give me a nudge (!) when it’s up!
