There has been a tendency from UKIP to attempt to shut down their critics. as in here, here, here, and here. (That is funny because the last story is about a flight attendant and they say that when they are showing people the fire exits...)
like that.
However, the threat of legal action is not the only weapon in UKIP's arsenal of weaponry and weapons and other weapons to use against it's critics. 'What is this weapon, and why did you unnecessarily repeat the word weapon' I hear you ask? Well, I shall tell you, at the very least about the first question you asked if not the second, because I don't really have an answer to that.
More increasingly, people who heckle, troll or simply say things that UKIP members may not agree with, are coming under venomous attacks from this man here...
Having verbally attacked Nigel Farrage in response to a tweet which I found offensive, I found myself coming under a barrage of verbal abuse.
It even spread as far as this very webpage, when someone wrote in the comments section: "Hey, look after your one and only fan, King Blogger lol, read some of it. Don't give up your day job Dumb and Dumber".
Being that my ego is so fragile, I cried for days when I found out about it, I'm only just coming to terms with it now, however, I do take comfort in one small detail. The page he left a comment on is 3 years old. when he said he: ..."read some of it..." He actually read 100 blog posts before leaving a comment. Here is where I lie awake at night wondering where I went wrong, trying to get into the head of the unknown UKIP supporter who heckled me with the heartbreaking insult 'Dumb and Dumber', which up until that point had been one of my favourite films.
He probably read 'Orientalism and thought, 'short and sweet, a promising start, maybe I had been too hard on him when I was bombarding him with repetitive and nonsensical twitter abuse.'
What can Thatcher's death tell us about what class we are? Really good work! definitely going to subscribe to his blog now! This man is a genius!
He read on...
Kim Jong Wut? HILARIOUS! It takes the mickey out of foreigners! It's excellent, 10 out of 10 This man should win the Pullitzer Prize!
Is there a Gods: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAARGH!!! it pluralized GODS when it didn't need to, brilliant.
This goes on for some time. Yet after about the 99th blog post he read, something had changed. He was no longer happy with the irreverent brand of (admittedly quite old) current affairs, dick jokes and racism. He suddenly realized that all the racism, xenophobia, rampant sexism and anti semitism was ironic. there he was stranded in cyberspace like David Bowman in the sci-fi film 2001- A Space Odyssey, except he was at home, in his pants, on his laptop instead of inside Arthur C Clarke's mind orbiting Jupiter and a giant monolith.
If I was clever, I would somehow draw a comparison between Clarke's monolith and the monolithic presence of UKIP, threatening and growing like some sort of cancer. But I'm not that clever or deep so I'll just show you this pic of a cleverly placed shot of Farage with an unfortunately placed microphone to make him look like HITLER!!! LOLZ!!!
HEE HEE!
So, far be it from me to be the bigger man, I left this comment directly underneath it.
^This man is sexually aroused by goats, but not ones from the EU^, in essence, heckling the heckler, hunting the hunter, eye for an eye, fighting fire with fire. Then I came across the the graphic beneath this text, which made me feel a little bit sad, like I had let myself down.
...So I went back and I deleted the comment.
Then I thought, hang on, I don't know who Abigail Van Buren is, so why the fuck should I listen to her. So I retyped the comment. after all. You have to break a few eggs to make an Omelette. *Sorry, I couldn't help it.*
