By definition it should if they are 'convinced' - a better synonym would be 'opinionated.'

[FrogNog]

The dreadful calypso would have sunk without trace if it wasn't connected to UKIP so that's hardly relevant

[Orderlimit]

Mr Farage is probably right about the point he made.

PP, I believe the number of communists was 57; he's said to have got it from a Heinz ketchup bottle

Fresh from the radio studio, Farage and a few party colleagues mean business...

If Nigel Farage and UKIP make it policy to do something positive to hits child abusers hard, the scum who groom youngsters then systematically rape them then they can have as many ropey songs as they like in my book.

I suppose the relevance is that while thse commentators are slagging off his song they are ignoring the problems like Rotherham, the grooming rings that have been reported in the last couple of years.... maybe the Lefties are too worried about potential PR disasters within theuir own controlled media that journalists daren't tackle meaningful stories

^ like a policy that allows law enforcement and other partner agencies to deal with high end serious / major crime & victims without the fear of being branded racist by prats like the UAF?

I'm with you slapshot.

//Can't you see the simple fact that he was just making a legitimate comparison of certain persons priorities when it comes to news stories, no body would have remarked on this calypso if it had not been attached to UKIP. //

Non attachment to UKIP would have prevented the video getting into circulation so easily and he would have had to pay out of his own pocket to promote it.

Had it gained any airtime it might have drawn some attention - former household name expressing views against immigration rather than remaining outwardly harmless. Also humour similar to that on tonight's HIGNFY, regarding the irony of doing it in calypso style and a slightly West Indian accent.

This calypso was again discussed last night on the Cristo's show on LBC radio.

And he was shot down in flames by almost everyone who phoned in, when he tried to associate it with racism. He even made a mistake by saying that it included words about sending immigrants back, which it does not

How can the words "Commonwealth not Common Market" be racist?

One Asian chap phoned in to point out that he was also a British citizen, and he agreed that he was concerned about mass immigration into his country.

So this also got me to thinking, that there must be many ex West Indians living in this country, so they also must be showing the same concerns, and would have most likely only been too pleased to sing this calypso.

Or is this all about a white man daring to sing in a West Indian accent?
