I just sent it to a UKIP voting youngster I know, he informs me it's in the iTunes Top 20 already. :shock:

Indeed, the perpetually offended clamouring for a ban becuase of the accent have rather taken the shine of some of the lyrics.

It's a modern day classic!! :lol: :lol:

Tax payers money where does it go?
Not even George Osborne knows
When we’re in power and we engage
There will be no tax on minimum wage

Our leaders committed a cardinal sin
Open the borders let them all come in
Illegal immigrants in every town
Stand up and be counted Blair and Brown

Chorus:
Oh yes when we take charge
And the new Prime Minister is Farage
We can trade with the world again
When Nigel is at number 10

The British People have been let down
That’s why UKIP is making ground
From Crewe to Cleethorpes to Outer Hendon
They don’t believe Cameron’s referendum

Coalition could be a fact
With any party we could make a pact
Stop telling lies about us too
And we’ll stop telling the truth about you

[Chorus]

Though our pension scheme is in a mess
We need money for the NHS
With Jean-Claude Juncker we’re giving away
55 million every day

Oh what a farce, he won the vote
This is my favourite Juncker quote
He looked the reporters straight in the eyes
“When things get serious it’s time to lie”

[Chorus]

The EU live in wonderland
Tried to ban bent bananas and British jam
We don’t want jam the EU way
Jam yesterday, tomorrow and never today

The daily polls suggest somehow
UKIP are the third party now
In the Euro elections we were so immersed
We weren’t the third party, we were the first

[Chorus]

When the government’s sitting on the fence
UKIP policies make more sense
Get out of Europe, is our target
Common wealth and not common market

Other parties please take note
UKIP is not a protest vote
So mark your cross and by word of mouth
Tell them what to do in Thanet South

[chorus]

With the EU we must be on our mettle
They want to change our lawnmowers and our kettles
Our hairdryers, smartphones and vacuum cleaners
But UKIP is wise to their misdemeanours

Farage he likes his fags and beer
But there’s one thing I want to get clear
Now I like Nigel he’s a friend of mine
He appears on Dimbleby on Question Time

[chorus]

The other parties will count the costings
In Eastleigh, Thurrock and Bow they’re lost in
Labour and Tories shaking in their boots
When UKIP kick them up the grassroots

Meanwhile down on Clacton-on-Sea
UKIP are making history
Douglas Carswell is quite adamant
Will be the first MP in parliament

[chorus]

They really have struck a chord haven't they. A lot of people are pee'd off with self satisfied politicians and bureaucrats screwing up our world at our expense!

Exactly, so I'm not sure what this kind of stunt is all about?

Any publicity is good publicity, or just a joke as Farage doesn't think he's got much chance of picking up many more seats next year?

For the 'serious' disillusioned Tory/Labour voters, this kind of stunt would surely convince them that they shouldn't waste a vote on a joke party?

From the man who wrote "gimme dat ding" I expected no less. Absolute drivel, perfect for the party. Shows them in exactly the right light. Unfortunately from reading comments here and on Facebook they have fooled many people and might have some MPs next election.
Let's revisit this thread then and see how everyone feels.

There's a question of growing interest now. The likelihood is that the EU will collapse and that Russia will hold Germany to ransom for energy. Do we get out in advance and watch from the sidelines or do we just wait for it to happen having minimised our dependence and commitment? We can't escape the side effects that's for sure.

Sadly I don't believe he did. It was co-written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood and I have a sneaking suspicion (but maybe wrong) that Jonathan King was involved in the production somewhere along the line...

Well, like the Daily Fail, if it's in Wikipedia it must be true! I wouldn't presume to doubt your understanding, but the Jonathan King bit I'm sure I've heard elsewhere before..
