" rather than huffing off with my Guardian tucked under my arm tutting I WILL be pointing out how fooking stupid their action are" I thought I wasn't doing any of the former and plenty of the latter, for which I've been told I've been patronising? "Unlike SJ I'm pretty sure I've friends (and possibly family) who will say they are going to vote UKIP" Have I said I don't have no friends and family who would vote UKIP? If I have I stand corrected (as I've already bemoaned the fact on facebook) "which is more than the PM and the Leader of the 'progressive' party seem to be able to do right now" I thought this was the point. Otta has already pointed out Harriet Harman was dismissing UKIP voters, Brown got in trouble for calling a woman a bigot, and until UKIP made electoral gains recently leaders of both parties got in trouble for dissing UKIP voters. I wish they had stuck to those guns.. but you rpost seems to be made up of off-the-shelf cliches rather than what people are actually saying
