Anyone who was going to vote UKIP isn't suddenly going to change their mind and vote Al Murray instead, UKIP voters are the ones least likely to change their minds. What was Al Murray thinking, Thanet South is too close to call and now he's made Farage favourite to WIN if you check all the bookies. No wonder Farage is hoping Murray will stand, he must feel like opening the champagne now. Saying that I do like Al Murray's manifesto. |

A sort of one man raving monster looney party. Good for a laugh, if nothing else. |

Some pretty common sense policies there. Farage has got a battle on his hands. |

Sounds much like the now defunct Cloud Cuckoo-land Party with it's regulated single member with a single policy of using the Royal Navy to loot stuff from any carrier who dared to sail near these islands. Bricking up the Chunnel will produce a lot of laughs. |

Which party does Al Murray actually support as it appears Murray was born in Buckinghamshire, only son of Lieutenant Colonel Ingram Bernard Hay Murray (a great-great-great-great-grandson of John Murray, 3rd Duke of Atholl, who married Charlotte, Baroness Strange), and Juliet Anne Thackeray, née Ritchie (a great-great-granddaughter of William Makepeace Thackeray. His grandfather, the diplomat Sir Ralph Murray, was of Scottish nobility and married into the von Kuenburg family, aristocrats from Austria. Is he a man of the people, or just a rather privileged public schoolboy from an aristocratic family who makes a career out of sneering at the lower orders. Anyone else want to join in to help Farage win. |

Until the same voters who cheered it on realised their route to cheap plonk and rolling baccy was now shut.

The pub landlord character is in the same mould as Harry Enfield's Loadsamoney, it's a parody that Murray has said in the past people identify with for the reasons he never really intended. His politics seem on the face of it left wing, very few comedians appear to be right wing for obvious reasons. |

Exactly and that's why Farage will pretend he welcomes it but his party will be hurt by further association with the ridiculous. I liked the "UK to leave the EU by 2025 and the Solar System by 2050" line. Wonderful parody. Edited by Steve K, Jan 15 2015, 06:21 PM.

There would still be loads of ferries operating, and currently French tobacco products aren't much cheaper than Britain. |

Thinking about it there would be many more ferries operating as they could sell duty free again |
