General discussion / Re: Plans made for Nigel went askew in Edinburgh!
« on: May 18, 2013, 01:23:43 PM »Wasn't the late Frank Carson,Belfast nationalist and Papal Knight not a UKIP member or at the very least a very strong supporter of the party?
Carson was a nationalist? Not that I ever really gave it much thought, but I was presumed he wasn't.

« on: May 18, 2013, 11:01:15 AM »It never ceases to amaze me how those most vociferous in their support for the Union are also those who are most contemptuous of the Scots, Welsh, and Irish. If they think the Celtic fringes are that useless, why not be rid of them?As someone from a unionist background, I've never really understood the attraction of Scotland, Wales and NI for the English. All three are a drain on their resources and most people resident within each don't even like them! I guess it is easier to punt brand Britain globally, compared to England on its own.
Can't really say much for the appeal of NI and Wales, but the oil resources in Scotland must be appealing for the English.

Great to discover that proud Irishman Des Lynam is a UKIP support.

« on: May 16, 2013, 11:28:00 AM »It is strange how these stories lay dormant for so many years. Is it the lure of cash in hand that raises them to the surface?
Years ago, nobody would have believed them. Celebrities had an obscure level or respect and untouchability in that time. Much like Priests had in the same era.

Saw that programme on the BBC iPlayer during the week. Fantastic comedian. I often wondered why his programmes were never repeated, now I know.
