Go Now Lenny

losthorizon

Local Election candidate for UKip William Henwood has suggested that Lenny Henry should go and live in a Black country after calling for more minority faces on British TV.

And a builder complaining about foreigners taking British jobs was discovered to be an Irish actor who had migrated to Britain.

When I think of Lenny Henry I think of Birmingham (Its a sketch)

I just think unfunny.

The Irish actor was used as a model in a UKIP advert about foreign workers taking British jobs. He did not complain himself.

Yeah but UKIP could have used a British actor - thats the point.

Leave him alone!

He's a legend. Sure who doesn't like Motörhead?

Ace of spades ftw.

Everyone knows the Irish built Britain. Even Stonehenge was bunged up by Murphys after a weekend on the beer, as a dare.

I heard Stavros the Foreman was a lazy bollox though.

:pac: Very true - The Picts were raging as it was supposed to have been completed in three weeks, but half the crew were tied up on Hadrians wall and the other half promised to come back and do the snag-list but were off doing roads for the Romans and forgot. That's why the holes never got filled in. Happily, some mad old Druid spotted a beam of light coming in at a funny angle and started raving about it being a miracle - got them right off the hook. Great times.

Old Willie Chickenwood is always throwing some bit of controversy out there anyway - before he joined the Kip he was renowned for protesting outside the local boozer complaining that a pint was too cheap and mini-skirts were the work of the devil. Sure no-one listens to him.

Lenny Henry is the black lad that does those hotel ads, right?

Hande hoche!

They are really doing a hatchet job on UKIP.

Eejit.

Still, the Guardian and C4 have gone into UKIP overdrive lashing around the tar and brushes with abandon, they sound nervous. Good.
I like Farage, he's a thumb in the eye to the establisnment and shows them up for the grey, middle-management, complacent idiots that they are. At least the UK have Farage to shake things up and challenge the groupthink that goes on at government level, it's depressing to look at what constitutes an oppostion in this country.

Ukipper Mr Henwood has also tweeted the following, according to the BBC:

"Islam reminds me of the 3rd Reich Strength through violence against the citizens."

He's not afraid to speak his mind, I'll give him that.

What sort of a goofball is this guy?

There was a little verse that I heard in the mid 00's. Around the time that all the Polish and Lithuanians were coming here to live. They could make it their election theme song.

They take our jobs,
They take our wimmin,
They pee in the pool when they go swimmin,
They live in the houses the Government give 'em,
The furrriiiinnnnneeeeerrrrrrssssss.

Latest poll shows them as most populer party for the EU elections.

They are ruffling a few feathers.

Tories, Lab, LD and the media are all attacking them to try and rain them in.

...which doesn't in any way change the fact they're exposing themselves as a pack of bigots and wingnuts.
