Ha Ha no I just know a bit about up here and like it, I love coming home and Southampton will always be home but people are more uptight down south, a bit grumpier. ---

No people have raised that amount. ---

Got back earlier this evening, I’ve had to cover some extraordinary news events in the Uk, over 20 years and I’ve never known such genuine emotion in reporters, news people! It’s like a badge of honour to be cynical and professional usually. I really don’t like doing news in general, but i’ve never seen so many reporters etc. moved, some to tears. ---

UKIP will announce their manifesto tomorrow. They have nowhere to go except more extreme nationalism. They will take advantage of this terrorist attack to try and divide people. ---

It looked they were going to be wiped off of the political map. This could sadly give them a boost. ---

Exactly, they are the only party who will start campaigning again tomorrow. Why? They have taken up the policies of the BNP. This isn’t about Brexit, it’s always been about white nationalism. ---

Local campaigning starts for all after 1200 tomorrow, UKIP will release their manifesto as others have done so, I don’t think this will help them in any way to gain seats. ---

Why do you think that Barry? They thrive on stirring up racial hatred and division. This couldnt have been timed better for them. They were losing support as a lot of Brexiters were thinking job done. They will maintain that the job hasnt been done and that they are still relevant. ---

People will see through that I am sure, I sincerely hope so anyway. ---
