Loony toons Farrage and nuttall speaking at their north east conference today @ borough hall ... wonder if they consider Hartlepool a seat they might have a chance of wrestling away from Labour. ..

It's definintely on their top target list. Personally, I prefer to see anyone in that isn't called Iain Wright.

Anyone but Iain Wright.

Anyone who wants UKIP in Hartlepool wants sectioning

Didn't realise they'd pin pointed us like that, can see why they believe they could make inroads here, but they won't be getting my vote. Right I'm off to verrells to get some extra scraps to lob at the lot of them

^This x 8 million.

Politicians are all the same only interested in looking after themselves.

Russ green has all the credidentials to become one away from the north east obviously.

Farage was at the Grand last night, £100 a head dinner with prospective backers and supporters

Someone should have pissed in his soup, the punched him in the face

FFS. show some respect for the next Prime minister..

I would love to see someone stick the nut on Farage. Or kick him off the end of North Gare. Opportunist, shit-stirring millionaire ex-public schoolboy who wants to kick working people even further down the ladder.

You've just described every politician. But no it can't be so, the Millibands are the voice of the working class

You daft c.u.nt

Labour aren't what they should be but you can't lump them in with the Pennywise Oswald Mosely.

So far, the only thing I've heard Farage say that I vehemently object to is the reintroduction of smoking into pubs/restaurants.

You happy with the abolition of the NHS then?

It's knackered anyway..

I don't really care but Farage has said UKIP aren't going to abolish the NHS.

Can you show me a single qualified quote where Farage has said that? As far as I can see he's talked about the elephant in the room which is that we cannot afford a full state funded NHS going forward. His statement was about alternatives not abolition.

As good as said in there, some would believe his backtracking afterwards. I don't.

He's at least 8 times worse than Martin Scott in my eyes.

The thing is we CAN afford the NHS we just have to raise taxes a little to pay for it..

A common sense Pub drinker like Nigel knows this..

Undoubtedly there is tax evasion to deal with but it seems to me that its been spent a hundred times in every parties manifesto.

and can anyone tell me what the hell the labour party has done for hartlepool in the last 20 years.

The last 50 years you mean!!!!

I expect northern England to be part of a separate nation before that happens.

I'm not sure what you're definition of minted is but surely it doesn't apply to someone simply because they have private health insurance.

Even those with millions use the NHS (Camergoon / Jordan) delete as appropriate.....

I've got private health insurance and I'm certainly no millionaire. I get it as part of my wages along with millions of others. I've used it too and its true that it is a different world from the NHS.

Obviously it would be great if the NHS was like that too but it would take many billions every year. Also, for every person that goes private it takes a little bit of pressure off the NHS.

My bigger solution is to not buy the next generation of Trident that we'll never use at the thick end of £100bn. I reckon we could find a better use for the money.

Thats a great idea Mr I but the health of the nation would come at the cost of the rich who need war and weapons to serve their financial interests. That''s unlikely to happen in the present political pyramid.

It's more likely that NHS workers will be working till they are 75 than the tories axing trident....

The this g is when it comes down to it the health insurance mob bail out and its left to the NHS to pick up the tab

Exactly like what's just happened to Huntingdon hospital private company running it have pulled out now left to NHS.
