Sod - This word has many uses. My father always used to say "Oh Sod!" or "Sod it!" if something went wrong and he didn't want to swear too badly in front of the children. If someone is a sod or an "old sod" then it means they are a bit of a bastard or an old git. "Sod off" is like saying "piss off" or "get lost" & "sod you" means something like "f*** off". It also means a chunk of lawn of course. You can usually tell the difference! But not with the ConLabLib party and its about politics not tactics but us less off people that have to steal when there is nothing left, no job no money no future so in cutting benefit we steal again in other ways, what will this do make more problems more police more law and every thing that wastes money, as we now live in a world governed by the EU other that a face that shine from the back side, what would it do to invest in our defunked industry, then you can say work for your living as most would apart from the odd exception and this that gets over played through paper like this one, we want jobs not idiotic treated like a fool, look at me I’m governing the country soon so I’ll make out to do the same as labour look busy and do as the clowns do. The main three will not talk or even hold a public debate on the EU or the policing of drugs at what cost to the tax payer is reality, where I live we have lost the ship building, bridge building, 120 coal pits now redcar steel mothballed for life never to open again and the remaining will go soon, so sod off says the right words for me and most of the unemployed would argree.

Yeah - spot on in terms of how I feel abou the failed old parties.

I think this poster is the best I've yet seen from any party during this campaign.

It should boost UKIPs vote no end, especially in traditional working-class and Labour voting areas.

MsV:
Yes,actually, I do think the 3 major parties deserve some respect.They represent, after all, british Democracy. You may not agree with any of them and some individuals were bad apples, but this kind of gutter politics is debasing democracy and is in the end a con.
Do you people actually think UKIP is better, which is what is implied in the poster?
There is no point voting for change for change sake.That was exactly the mindset of German people when they voted Hitler in! Think about that!
How can you consider UKIP a party worth of respect after Farrage made a complete idiot of himself in Brussels by insulting the EU president and the whole of Belgium. This was a totally shameful episode which has made Britain into a laughing stock and which tells you all there is to know about this hatred-fuelled and xenophobic party which is the British equivalent of the "tea party" in the USA, with Palin as her rabid ignorant leader.
Voting for them would be being totally irresponsible as a British citizen

Are people really basing a vote on a poster? Evaluate all the policies, then decide what "most of us" feel.

Isn't 'sod' as a verb short for 'sodomise'? Are UKIP letting slip some very, very specialist dark desires?

Danielle -

Piss off.

Sod 'em? Might.

did a child create this?

seems strange that a homophobic party encourage gay sex in their most visable campaign literature.

"They represent, after all, british Democracy."

British democracy = multi-party system = representative oligarchy

But hey I've got to admit the poster definitely has some impact, more than than any of the others. UKIP seem to have been fairly quiet of late and they seem seem to have changed their image going for a more 'carry on...' style. I guess this is due to Lord Pearson taking over from Nigel Farage who until that silly speech was doing a good job.
We shall see what happens to UKIP now.
