Oh dear, Nigel Farage. Caught inventing evidence, according to this article. > **[The mask slips: Oldham result brings out the real Nigel Farage](https://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2015/12/04/the-mask-slips-oldham-result-brings-out-the-real-nigel-farag)** > > Ukip leader caught making false claims about ethnic minority voters in Oldham We’ve just seen a static and very dirty performance in the Oldham West by-election. UKIP were tipped to claw into Labour’s margin; the gap between them in terms of vote share is even bigger. Capitalising on perceived disaffection in Labour’s northern heartlands was a key strategy, and it has failed. The question could be asked of the entire Party. ## Is this the end of UKIP? ---

That prat and his banners were genuinely a factor in me moving away from Hedge End. Splitting up with my girlfriend and her seizing the house admittedly contributed. ---

I wonder what he has done to house prices in his street :lou_lol: > Splitting up with my girlfriend and her seizing the house admittedly contributed. Garnish, surely! Get on the blower to the Echo! I can see the headline now. “UKIP Twat Made Me Emigrate From Hedge End” ---

On the first day of Christmas, Hedge End sent to me, A sign full of bigotry. ---

When exactly was Hedge End lost to Islamic radicialism? I know a lot of housing has gone up and the traffic ain’t great but it’s now been lost? _All we want is our country back._ Which one, the one with slavery, chronic poverty and disease and kids up chimneys? Last time I was in Hedge End it wasn’t under sharia law and you were still free to play cricket, wear bowler hats and smother your house with vulgar banners of hate designed by retarded toddlers and aimed at easily-led adults. ---

Well, quite. It’s likely the most white, middle-class place I’ve ever seen. Also tediously boring, with zero entertainment and zero decent pubs. Any newcomer to this land would take one look and say “you’re welcome it”. ---

But point that out in Hedge End, and the likely answer will be “why don’t you fuck off to Bursledon or wherever it is you think is so great?!” :lou_lol: ---

If we attempted to settle the ‘swarm’ of migrants into Hedge End it would be a matter of hours before they high-tailed it back to Dover. Throwing themselves off the white cliffs like little Lonsdale lemmings. ---
