I merely asked the question as to how you knew she was what you thought. For someone with the baggage you say she had, she did amazingly well in the GE when you consider Great Grimsby was looked upon as a barometer of how well UKIP were or weren't doing. She increased the previous vote by almost 19%
She did indeed. I think UKIP targetted that seat as they felt it was worth a shot what with Austin was quitting.
There really is no accounting for some people's tastes.
TBH I was quite bemused that she connived and lied her way into getting that many votes. I was disappointed (but not shocked) that Grimsby voted BREXIT particularly as the area has benefitted from EU funding.
I'm waiting to see (when we do eventually leave the EU) the docks return to the glory days of the past as Ms. Ayling promised.
And you really weren't merely asking - you were insinuating that I was lying. I don't lie.

I wasn't insinuating anything, merely asking how you had formed an opinion. Seemingly you formed it from reading about her rather than any sort of judgement based on her being a UKIP candidate. I say that because this board is littered with posts by those who have a hatred of Farage and/or all things UKIP; I'm sure I've seen some from you but please correct me if I'm wrong.
EU funding uses our net contribution.
Grimsby voted for Brexit because it sees the EU as part of the reason for its decline and because it's affected by immigration.

The major cause for decline in the fishing industry was due to the Icelandic Cod Wars - Grimsby was on it's knees long before the EU fishing policy. I know the funding comes from our net contribution to the EU - do you honestly believe that if it was down to Westminster we'd get even a fraction of that money?
As for immigration I think Grimsby has very, very low figures of immigration compared to most of the country. We do have 'problems' with school choice, housing and waiting for GP appointments but it most certainly not down to immigration.
I find it quite sad ....no - quite ridiculous that immigrants are a source of worry to the people in Grimsby.
This. Ayling is an appalling opportunist who keeps popping up all over Lincolnshire in increasingly desperate attempts to get elected somewhere. Comfortable Tory victory with UKIP's vote share down on 2015.
Former deputy PM, unconscionable hypocrite and jowly fat-arse Lard, sorry Lord Prescott is pitching up in Sleaford today, thus I am given to reconsider the BIB.
Well the mid west then. Sleaford town is east of Lincoln though so it does spread further east.
Does it matter?
Yes.
Sleaford is a market town and civil parish in Lincolnshire, England. It is on the edge of the fertile Fenlands, about 11 miles (18 km) north-east of Grantham, 16 miles (26 km) west of Boston, and 17 miles (27 km) south of Lincoln.

Has Sleaford moved?
Perhaps it's the old English name for the constituency

Well it's sort of Midlands Lincs based on the county area. But clearly it's not as north as the ex Humberside bits.
Just watch out for Jezza campaigning in Seaford....

It's on the extreme west of Lincolnshire.

Extreme politically or geographically?!!
I has had a Conservative M.P. ever since it was created in 1997.

Let's hope the Lib Dems meet their Waterloo on Thursday and hit rock bottom because they want the UK to remain a puppet on a string in the EU!
What's he singing?
May be quite a low turnout though although the spring like weather we are going to see for the next few days may boost it.
Should be an easy Tory win as you say but you never know.
Given that Waterloo was probably the biggest victory ever in the history of the Eurovision, I am sure the LibDems would be happy with that result. :-)
Yes.

Perfect for UKIP. Hopeless for the LibDems.
Congratulations on that post Marty:)
So Lancashire doesn't even get a mention on your weirdness list. I am bitterly disappointed.:(
Zing!
For a party that is so keen on Grammar schools, they may want to get someone who can properly spell the name of the constituency.
I do not comment on the sloppy grammar of anyone.
This also applies to the OP.
