Anyone wearing purple tomorrow?

DadDancer · 22/05/14 - 01:19

A lot of people in my office have said they will be wearing purple in support of UKIP, just for a bit of a laugh and to annoy the anti lobby

. I might dig out a purple tie myself.:D

Anyone else getting into the spirit to mark this day of political revolution?

Nope.

Ooh, can I play that game?

It might just flush a few of them out, then I'll be able to burst their bubble for them.

Bless.

*despairs*
Why did you even start this thread?

Why couldn't you have added this as a comment to one of the other dozen UKIP threads?

Sorry I just couldn't seem to make it fit into the others, so had no choice but to make a new one. ;-)

Except that's clearly not true, and there are rules here - which are ultimately being broken (duplicate threads).

To be honest, I'd also construe this sort of thing as baiting.

I wish the moderators would put their foot down now, as it's just got to silly levels.

I will be glad when these elections are over because the UKIP supporters might finally quieten down to normal levels (wishful thinking).

I seem to recall a certain Mr. Icke telling us that purple was a powerful colour.

So, what colours are safe to wear, i.e. that do not have any political attachment?
Red, blue, yellow, green and purple are out for starters, I'm sure I saw a flyer with orange on it, did pink get claimed by anyone? Rainbow patterns I think were the Natural Law party, so are we looking at black/white/grey or are those taken too, meaning even a pinstripe outfit would be considered partisan?
I'm not sure I want to chance it with fine distinctions, and 'olive' or 'indigo' would be pushing my luck somewhat.

Oh good grief, at time UKIP really does seem less like a political party and more like a cult to some. I really do have sympathy for some of the attacks that have been subjected to but things like this, the idea that Farage is a 'man of the people' , this whole 'people's army' make we wonder if they really are more style over substance...a bit like all the other parties.

No, I won't be wearing any colour of the poltical party I am voting for.

That's pretty much what UKIP has become here.

I wonder how many Labour and Tory candidates will be wearing red or blue ties/ scarves/ whatever. It could liven up the waffle on the endless results programmes trying to count.

Their supporters will slowly drift into disappointment when they see that nothing is changing, except for the bank balances of the new MEPs they voted in.
That first class carriage on the Brussels Gravy Train is now going to have more passengers.

LibLabCon will be wearing black if you don't mind.

[Deleted User] · 22/05/14 - 07:33

I think that when the results of the elections are announced, quite a few people here will turn purple.

But you're contributing.

Report it to the mods then.

Report it to the mods then and ask them to replace it with a thread of your liking.

Nick Clegg may be purple with embarrassment when he finds the Greens have overtaken the Lib Dems.

its not a duplicate thread. Please point me in the direction of a thread based on wearing political colours?

I think it's a shame you can't get into the spirit of the occasion

Lead singer who was born in the Ukraine and uses the word 'gypsy' to describe his music.

Completely unintentional, but I slipped on maroon socks and a checked maroon shirt this morning.:D

Staunchy · 22/05/14 - 08:47

I've got a purple helmet, but I'm not going to whip out in public no matter how I'm voting.

It is a jolly song isn't it.

I have had it in my record collection for a long time and enjoy not living next door to myself.

Howardessex · 22/05/14 - 08:52

I will be wearing black , in recognition of the barbaric killing of Lee Rigby on a London street . Might also be black for the death of the liberals in the EU election also .

Shrike · 22/05/14 - 09:05

Co-incidently I'm wearing purple socks - Nige can have that if he likes.
I've also got on a blue shirt and red underpants - something for Dave and Ed.
Sadly nothing green or orange - soz Caroline & Nick:(

I've got beige chinos too - anyone do beige? The 'nothing too extreme, quite comfy and non-exciting party' perhaps?:)

Hey there!
