Speaking of FARAGE, MEP, UKIP ? All the rage in Brighton

All the rage in Brighton. Will they be speaking of FARAGE, MEP, UKIP ?

We understand that not everybody is quite happy with the way Nigel FARAGE and his secretay wrote to their constituents in a pig-headed and appalling way.
Does anybody know what they had achieved so far?

not sure . . . maybe a distraction for the cops? Maybe theres gonna be a gambling bloc! It might be an animal rights issue, racehorses are pretty badly treated. I got the list from www.safp.org.uk which is the main anti-war group in Brighton's website.

Borders

Lest we forget - Borders Bookshop is not just host to Starbucks, it is itself a symbol of American expansionism (nearly 500 stores in the states, and rapidly spreading across the world destroying indedpendent shops) it pays its workers poorly and is viciously anti-union.
