There are no printed stories about it but it always happens every Eid. Since 2005. Majority of people here are Sikhs, Hindus and Christians and generally secular people. But doesn't stop the police pandering. We're fed up of it all!

Just seen this blog.
Maybe putting out positive alternatives to the European Union could help. EFTA (European Free Trade Association) could help win millions of votes.

www.efta.int

Looking at opinion polls, up to 75% of voters could vote in a referendum for EFTA instead of the EU. This way UKIP PPCs could sell a working alternative, that produces only 300 new regulations a year, instead of 1,000+ with the EU. Could help with large donors.

Good luck to anyone who prefers self-government.

That's very apocalyptic, Peter. Gloating over the Tories defeat has its merits but I'd rather just see the back of Labour for now!
One of the reasons I had ignored UKIP for so long was because it always struck me as a one-issue party and I think that's a common misconception.
Now is a perfect time to build the party and force the realignment of the Right in the United Kingdom along libertarian/free market lines.
Perhaps a renaming of the party might be in order - has this been proposed?

AT LAST we will see a leader powerful enough to draw UKIP from its
scabbard - to wield it - shining and sharp - like the devastating weapon
it has always been. There can be only one target - only one outcome. The
treacherous Tory giant will be cut down in its 50 weakest marginal
seats. Lord Pearson gave them a clear warning. They ignored him. Now he
will force a hung Parliament - a 4th Tory defeat. He will force the TRUE
CONSERVATIVE REVOLT and the adoption of UKIP's core policy. He will
force the long overdue realignment of British politics. With Hurricane
Nigel storming by his side, UKIP is about to cut its righteous mark deep
into the destiny of this great country."

@AProle Good stuff, I agree with everything you say, particularly about the peership issue.It was always a Westminster issue,there was never any great public demands for the end of the hereditaries, people recognized they did a particular job and nothing more. All that crap is just the ruling elite trying to ensure more places for their own cronies.

What is your area by the way?Do you have a link to the story about the road closures?

I'm interested to see what direction the party will take under Pearson. He is certainly a good speaker.

This is a win win situation for UKIP. Many non white people worry about multicultural excesses and Islamisation and too much immigration but feel really disheartened that only the BNP would discuss these issues. Now there's a non racist party tackling these issues head on. Lord Pearson was amicable on Channel 4 tonight and very articulate in a non politician sort of way.
the more Muslims protest against your party the more votes you get from ordinary fed up Brits who are shocked at how their lives have been hijacked. Our local roads were closed by the police today for Eid. Who asked us? Have any roads been closed for Christmas or Easter?
You guys are on the up. The media can't ignore you now. The more you're called racist and Islamophobic, the more we see the establishment is running scared. And Labour voters (I used to be one) don't mind Pearson's background. Why discriminate against someone because he's well educated and affable. I think the opinion polls would be good in the coming months.
And with Tory candidates saying no one cares about Europe, saying this on Radio 4, it can only be good news for your party.

He was my favourite, too, Steve.

You can be sure that the BBC will try to link UKIP with the BNP due to its anti-Sharia stance but that can be countered with ease. Three of the most obvious differences:

1) BNP is left-wing, while UKIP is libertarian right-wing;
2) UKIP is pro independence, while the BNP is merely racist and xenophobic;
3) UKIP has a broad range of policies that would have been at home in the Conservative Party before it went pink, whereas the BNP's policies are strikingly similar to old Labour policies.

Expect nasty muslim protests and attacks on UKIP candidates and members.

I am very pleased with the election of Lord Pearson. He gave a very good talk on TV.

He is also based at Westminster and not in Europe. That has got to be a plus.
