Sorry I didnt mean to imply you were judging the audience, I ment it made more sense to have an economically right wing politician on stage at a capitalist event than a left wing. And assuming the event is not of interest to the main 2 parties it is hard to imagine which UK wide party could be invited to the event if not UKIP. For example it would make no sense for the greens to turn up nor libs and nobody else is noticeable.

That is your opinion and a popular claim. However as far as I can see those labels apply to pretty much all of the parties and to an equal or greater extent than UKIP. I am fairly sure the labour supporters would think that of tories and tories think that of labour and even libs thinking that of both (and even their own).
I assume you accept the vile comment you have made (calling for his demise) while trying to brand him with fear (calling him vile and deceitful) makes a poor impression of you too? Whatever you may think of the man.
" official National Hero Simon Weston OBE."
Sailor on a warship that got hit by a bomb which failed to go off - yet the warship still burnt to the ground and sank. Operated by an organisation which failed to plan to fight fires, failed to have adequate backup systems to fight fires, failed to have fire protection for crew of a ship which is designed to have bombs dropped on it.
Obviously an inspiration for anyone managing an IT company - but not sure about the motivational aspect for the workers.
Try reading a little history; Simon Weston was not a sailor on board the Sir Galahad, he was a Welsh Guardsman in transit to fight on the Falklands. Having been burnt as badly as he was and overcoming so much he is an inspiration to overcoming difficulties to anyone with a modicum of sense.
Unlike you who writes utter and poorly informed garbage!
Though you are more or less correct about the organisation that led to the ship being attacked .

Mmm. Firstly, he wasn't a sailor. The nautical term is "burnt to the waterline". They use this instead of "bunt to the ground" since ships aren't usually on land.
You missed the fact that they were strafed at the same time, and that they activated their disaster recovery plan, which worked and the ship survived. A small, but significant oversight. Likewise with the fact that it was a landing craft, not a warship.
On a separate occasion, it was hit by three separate bombs which did explode, setting about a hundred tons worth of fuel on fire. This exceeded the disaster recovery plan somewhat because there is a finite amount of damage that an unarmoured landing craft that's not designed to have bombs dropped on it can reasonably be expected to receive before it is written off.
The only thing that is broadly correct in your post is the punctuation and grammar.
If I didn't have to swim the Atlantic ocean, as I can't afford air-fare to the UK, and since I don't swim all that well, me being a bit on the older side, with this pain in the diodes all down my right side, and who knows, maybe the Atlantic is similar to Martian water and therefore a bit iffy to accidentally ingest, and besides, it's entirely possible that swimming in Martian water would cause some kind of nasty scaly effect on human skin and at my age I don't want to have to deal with something like that because I have to pay for medical care here in the U.S. of A. whereas the Brits have the NHS to take care of them, assuming of course that they can get an appointment, since from what I've read on various UK news websites that can be a very time-consuming task although needless to say, it's probably not as time-consuming as all the targeted advertisements Google keeps sending my way except that none of them seem to have anything to do with anything I'm actually interested-in, which makes me think that perhaps it isn't Google that is sending the ads to me but some other Nosy Parker reading my email and tracking my browsing which means that someone somewhere may end-up discovering that I'm otherwise interested in visiting the UK for whatever reason and so now I can expect to see lots of advertisements for travel, and possibly some of them will have something to do with attending this event which I currently cannot attend.
I don't even have a passport.
I would love to go, but I already have commitments for that date that I cannot get out of (now - last week it would have been different).
Ré Simon Weston, he is a hero because of what he has overcome. There are lots of reasons he got injured - lack of suitable military investment over many years being the biggest.
To this day the RN is stuck with an area AA missile system that cannot effectively engage even an obsolete missile like the Exocet; against a modern AS missile, they would have more chance of stopping an attack by throwing fruit at it.
