Ukip And Katie Holmes

[sp1814]

Should UKIP welcome Katie Holmes' overtures?

Or run screaming to the hills?

Tough one...Ms Holmes is a forthright and plain-speaking public figure, but arguably divisive.

Do you think she would be of benefit to UKIP?

[sunny-dave]

Errr - "Holmes" ??

[aelmpvw]

i'm surprised that tom cruises ex is getting involved in british politics

[sp1814]

Haha...!

What the hell?

I've not even thought about Katie Holmes for over a year now.

Hopkins...!

[weecalf]

Sound a bit of a cattery to me

[Marshwarble]

Is there nothing she won't say to appear in The Express? I'm waiting for Rupert to come out as a UKIP supporter.

Who is Katie Hopkins?

[Baldric]

Don't you think her 'Special Talents' might be of more assistance to The Labour Party in their time of confusion?

[ummmm]

HaHa....she's a woman that goes round spreading fairy dust and happiness.

[Baldric]

If it helps NJ!

Tough one - as UKIP are highly unlikely to be a force in government any time soon if ever they might like the fact that she'd keep them in the news. Even if you hate her she's very interesting to listen to - and I don't think for a second that she actually believes everything she spouts - it's done for effect.

Prudie has it right here !

Hopkins is already somewhat of a non-entity, a so-called, self-made celebrity, only famous for being famous.

But I can't see any reason for her sink even lower into obscurity by getting herself involved with UKIP !

[New Judge]

Thanks Baldric.

She looks like the nutter on the bus I sat next to on my way home from the Great British Beer Festival on Friday (v. good this year, BTW). I can't say if she wanted to join UKIP or not (though the entire bus heard about almost every other aspect of her life) but she certainly qualified as a "looney or fruitcake".

[mikey4444]

looney or fruitcake NJ...sounds like the ideal UKIP candidate !

[douglas9401]

I don't think you can use 'looney' or 'fruitcake' to describe nutbags, kooks or screwballs any more, your judgeship. :-)

[mikey4444]

Dougie....but how else would you describe a UKIP candidate ?

[Gromit]

Hopkins act only works because she is a solo fruitcake.

If she joined UKIP and was one nutter in a whole party of nutters, then the 'Hopkins Effect' would be fatally diminished.

Why are ABers constantly deriding UKIP when it would appear they are the one party in this country who truly want out of europe ? I still want to trade with the EU but from the position we were in when we were asked to join the COMMON MARKET & not the present position that Europe wants for us to belong to, THE UNITED STATES OF EUROPE ( U.S.E). I want to be governed from Westminster by my elected MPs NOT some foreign shower that neither I or any other UK resident as voted for, so basically as I see it our only chance to regain what we once proudly had is to support UKIP ( David Cameron will promise anything to stay at No 10, I do not believe anything that comes from (S)Toryland).

UKIP contested 480 seats and won just 1.

People don't want it.

[Svejk]

I do and I'm more important than you. ;)

People don't want it. // More to do with the archaic voting system in the UK. The whole she-bang needs updating ( Proportional Representation)
