Interesting. I note the use of old-fashioned punctuation too. (No full stop needed after Mr or London.) They could have gone one further and put the phone number as HOLborn (or whatever) 1308...
That's now given them an idea for their next letter....
Why would he do that? What is the purpose of this illusion?
Harking back to those glorious days when typewriters were the norm, people actually wrote letters and most importantly, the UK wasn't stuffed full of foreigners.
Thanks for the invitation.
I'd be delighted.
Can you send round a copy of the UKIP manifesto beforehand, so I can remind myself. My copy's getting old and I can't seem to lay my hands on a more recent one.
Is that change them or adapt them to reflect public opinion ? parties are elected to do what we want them to do not what they want to do
The savvy parties tend to blow in the wind of whatever direction popular opinion is coming from but there are still those who campaign on the basis of what they believe in. Personally, I know who I'd trust more, even if I didn't like what they stood for.

Got it. It's quite impressive really,they offer a fully immersive experience.

I despise Labour and what they have done to this country and would never trust them

I would be prepared to trust them. But only if they demonstrated that they knew where they went wrong previously and could show a commitment to not screwing up again. Sadly I do not believe they have learned anything since getting kicked out in 2010.

I think we're talking about two different kinds of trust here. I'm talking about trusting politicians who stand on the basis of what they believe in against those who just pander to popular opinion and sway in the breeze. I think you can trust the former, I don't think you can trust the latter. Whether you'd ever want to vote for the former is a different issue.
He made Clegg look like a fool. he'd do a lot more to Millibands. I'm sure Ed wwould be a weeping mess on the floor if he went head to head with Farage
How dare Farage challenge Milliband to debate. What does he think we live in? Some sort of open democracy? He should just shut up and stop trying make politics bearable.
Milliband wont go near Farage after what happened to Clegg. Speaking, debating, presenting and existing are not Milliband's strong points.
Anyone left in any doubt that Farage is just an egotistical tw*t spoiling for a fight?
I'm no fan of UKIP but to be fair to Farage all he's done is pick up the gauntlet Ed threw down. Will Ed put his money where his mouth is and take Farage on in a head to head?
If he dithers it'll be another nail in his credibility coffin.

Read back Rusty (post #13) - I don't Miliband was issuing a challenge. I read it as him telling the troops it was time to expose UKIP. Farage decided it was a challenge and in his usual loutish manner decided it was time for fisticuffs.
Miliband has already turned him down, I believe. The man has a brain! Who'da thunk it...

I remember Callaghan going cap in hand to the IMF after he had bankrupted the country,streets knee deep in rubbish the dead going unburied they will never learn
I also remember a certain Labour Education minister saying dyslexia didn't exist and that it was down to bad teaching , she was also against private education , like so many of her ilk who themselves benefitted from private education and also send their children to private schools, as soon as her daughter was diagnosed as being dyslexic she whipped out of a state school and put into a private school that specialises in dyslexia
Labour politicians have no beliefs other than their own comfort
Thanks for the invitation.

Ed would never have the logic to write something so coherent. I am guessing his response would be more like:
Look, let be serious here. I believe passionately in what I believe in. My parents were immigrants and when they came to the UK... etc etc etc..

It's certainly true of them recently (past two decades), they've been moving all over the political spectrum trying to find a home...

I heard the speech. If Miliband wants to proclaim he's right, everybody else is wrong (or has a vested interest in stopping him (a bit too tinfoil for my blood)), running scared of him (the Cameron tv debate line) and that he's going to reform politics then as far as I'm concerned he's issued a challenge.
Even though I tend to share your view of Farage's manner (although it's not as if he has anything to lose by saying "bring it on" so politically it was a no brainer for Farage) I think Ed instantly shying away will simply confirm a conclusion people are increasingly coming to, ie Ed's all mouth - no trousers
Why does he still use a Typewriter? Surely his MEP expenses stretch to a desktop computer?
Exactly what I was thinking. I expect UKIP want nothing to do with those new fangled computer things. Besides, he has 3 boxes of ribbons in the loft and they need using up.

Well if he does have any we know they will be the wrong ones
pointless to have a debate with farage because ukip-ers no matter what he says will always hear what they want to hear and never concede defeat.
there are lots of ways to dissect a 'kipper that doesnt need giving airtime to a man whose party is aligned with the neo fascists in the european parliament.
I thought you were talking about Farage not Cameron

Very true. However, it's also UKIP who don't even believe in their own policies they change them so regularly.
Harking back to those glorious days when typewriters were the norm, people actually wrote letters and most importantly, the UK wasn't stuffed full of foreigners.
(just a guess and not my own view, obv.)
Is that change them or adapt them to reflect public opinion ? parties are elected to do what we want them to do not what they want to do
