During a conversation in my constituency office I began using the term ‘covert kippers’ and then I started to wondering why kippers should have to be covert because contrary to the media’s portrayal and the lefts rhetoric, UKIP are not racist or fascist or homophobic or sexist instead they are simply patriots trying to do the best for Britain.





Certainly since I have ‘come out’ as a kipper I have faced more discrimination than I have previously in all the many facets of my life. People who I would have thought of as relatively intelligent have spouted the rhetoric, bile and downright lies of the ‘loony left’ and Tory media, seemingly believing that if it is said often enough then it will become the truth. It is both sad and worrying that these people are so deluded, so blinded by political dogma that they won’t look behind the media stories and find out the truth for themselves. What is it that makes UKIP - and not some of the people who have been expelled for repellent views - either racist or fascist? Think about your answers, provide some cogent thoughts and debate points and lets get down to it but to just spout bile - well jog on if thats what you to do!





What is even more worrying is the way people have found me in corners, in quiet places, sent me emails and texts saying that they agree with me but are frightened to copy me and ‘come out’ because of the opprobrium and hate that they are worried will be directed at them. These ‘covert kippers’ are in every part of my life and it is worrying that these people who have the philosophical belief that they and all other British people should have the right to determine the path their country and locality should take are afraid to say who they support politically, it seems the left only believe in freedom of speech for the left - I am probably being unfair here, it is generally people who don’t think, who latch on to what they believe the tenets of being on the left are that cause the grief, not the genuinely working for the silent majority in the work place and pension queue left leaning people who are the problem.





I have had threats made against me on twitter by people who probably think they are ‘lefties’, in the past I have had threats from the far right and my politics are still the same, trundling along, very much in the middle, hopefully espousing common sense for the average Brit.
