      Though I did mean that we don't ALWAYS need rules to make things work properly.

        Anarchists don't go to Brahms gigs, they try to get into his train carriage, brandishing a revolver.

            It gets worse

            It's always good to change your fantasy fiction collection every few years
            looking forward to the next part of the multi-episode saga

                I cannot see anybody in red trousers now, without that website coming to mind.

                its a very odd sensation. noaapropriatesmileythingknown.

                  Me too. The UKIP is dynamic, ever-adapting. It's part of the attraction (possibly why you're always banging on about them).

                    Probably Mr Ferguson, the elected mayor of Bristol - he always wears red trousers.
                    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                      Sounds like an amoeba to me, which might explain its attraction to some.

                        I cannot agree about the former but it will certainly need to be the latter. Just think of what its acronym stands for - the "United Kingdom Independence Party". That suggests a party whose intended rôle is to represent those who might support in in four countries known as the United Kingdom of which three make up Britain as it is currently constituted; it also appears to stand for the notion of "independence".

                        If Scotland opts for independence later this year, that United Kingdom will be reduced in size, population and number of constituent countries. Once Catalunya's referendum for independence from the remainder of Spain's been held a few weeks after the Scottish one (and perhaps especially if that, too, results in its independence), all eyes - or at least very many - will likely be on the distinct possibility of Wales aiming to follow Scotland's suit, encouraged by Scotland's successful bid for independence. Independence for Wales will in one sense be of even greater significance than that for Scotland, since it will signal the end of Great Britain. What might then happen to Northern Ireland would be anyone's guess, I suppose, but I cannot see much mileage in "the United Kingdom of England and Northern Ireland", can you?

                        Anyway, the point here is that, without thoroughly reinventing itself as an organisation that would almost certainly be largely unrecognisable to its current supporters, UKIP will inevitably be dependent upon the continued existence of the United Kingdom and, if that finally bites the dust, it'll find itself obliged to change a good deal more than just its name (albeit hopefully not to the "English Defence League")...

                          A rather eccentric take on things, but if you must keep talking about the UKIP.......................................

                          MrGG will be along soon, and he is the house UKIP commentator!

                            Here's something the" much loved by the Libdems" EU is up to,


                            another blow for freedom.

                            The smokies and Rhubarb got off lightly.

                              I do not and would not usurp your rôle in that but, more importantly, what's supposedly "eccentric" about it?

                              Never mind; back to the LibDems and their trustworthiness!
