UKIP BANS SEAN GABB from further speaking engagements …. for saying …. what?

Ummmm ….. nothing exceptionable.

He said that the private possession of something ought not to be illegal. He did __NOT__ say he was in favour of it. He is a libertarian; we tend to have well-thought-out policy-positions based on logic and reason. (See, also, the UK Libertarian Party. I personally am glad that there now is such an institution, although the LA has always held a broadly friendly butĀ opposite view.)

Sean is well out of that shower. Although you have to sympathise with a fledgeling party like UKIP, which could become more important in the years to come, as darkness overwhelms us, and which does NOT want to be targeted by Rebekah-Wade-inspired mobs who think all its officers are paediatricians.

    Don’t you mean exceptional?

    A paediatrician is a doctor who specialises in treating children. Don’t you mean paedophiles?

    I am well out of the LA - it’s run by idiots!

    “Don’t you mean paedophiles”

    Good grief, where have you been?

    I am quite well aware of that story you highlight. That is exactly why I referred to it in my text.

    “and which does NOT want to be targeted by Rebekah-Wade-inspired mobs who think all its officers are paediatricians.”

    I heard a few years back that it was state-inspired, a sort of pressure-valve. I don’t know. I dare say there’s some really good people in it, but to be honest I doubt it could ever combine the qualities to acheive long-term success.

    Oh I mean the UKIP by the way, not the LA blog. Sorry Dave!
