Dog whistle politics of division is how one politician described it, not quite sure what that means but it was a comment ;-)

Well you can be elected, then a celebrity comes along & you are no longer selected/elected.

Looking back what has happen and said in the last few weeks I must have been a fool to want to go back to all this UKIP is not the same party as it was nor alot of its members
I am happy to be out of it and doing what I am at this time.

They seem to want cheap celebrities and reality television players as their candidates over hard working members that have built up support - a recipe for disaster.

The party membership went up overnight the same thing can happen going the other way.

I wonder how many of the new recruits to UKIP are actually saboteurs biding their time to inflict maximum damage. However, with Janis Atkinson's middle finger in action, they don't really need too many of them.

In the past year on several occasions I have invited people on here to debate policy, as yet nobody has ventured forward.
This is despite the same people saying: you've got no policies.
In the Telegraph one of their leading writers observed that the Conservative Party won't win back UKIP voters by abusing them.

David, I seem to remember you being invited to debate local policy on the Deal Watch facebook group and ended up being hounded off because you couldn't come up with any.

The OAP bus pass is safe but no mention of the Winter fuel allowance.: it will remain
No mention of the future of working tax credits for the low paid.: Minimum wage will be tax free
Abolition of live exports but what about the repeal of the hunting with dogs act.: it will not be repealed
A lot on education but no mention of the return of more Grammar schools.: we are the only party that would reintroduce grammar schools
Go to ukip.org, people's policy for more info

David, UKIP has one central policy - Brexit. Most others are either clones of Tory policy, tinselled up to look different, or uncosted vote-grabbing ideas designed for broad appeal, but lacking detail as to how they would be implemented. Passionate as I am about getting us out of the EU, UKIP has no candidates with experience of government. I still believe that in most Tory constituencies in England, a vote for UKIP helps Labour. Labour is wedded to being ruled by eurocrats so a UKIP vote in a Tory/Labour marginal would merely yield a Pyrrhic victory. Out of the frying pan, into the fire if UKIP drains so much Tory support that Labour gets a majority, or (even worse) we end up with a Lib-Lab coalition. Let the Conservatives tailor their campaign towards Euro-scepticism by all means, but let's not all be a victim of Nigel Farage's successes. When UKIP have 70+ seats in parliament and some I might change my view.

Having had a look at the UKIP policies page I note the following:-
Working tax credit is not mentioned.
Will UKIP continue privatising NHS services as the reds and blues have done?
No mention of the "Hunting with dogs" act but Farage told huntspersons on TV that he would repeal the act.

Its amazing how many tories are in denial about the EU and their party. In 2011 in parliament there was a vote about whether there should be an in/out referendum, the majority of tory MPs including Elphicke, voted NO. Their stance is identical to that of Labour. Yes, our central point is leaving the EU, until we do our debt will continue to rise and living standards for most will fall. Why would anybody trust Cameron based on his track record.

Duplicitous David?
That makes me on a par with your view of everyone who you disagree with including the Prime Minister.
I think I can decide on the answers to my own questions as you choose to side step anything that shows UKIP in a bad light.
