UKIP Jelly Babies Lead To Even More Trolling Of Nigel Farage's Party

UKIP Jelly Babies Lead To Even More Trolling Of Nigel Farage's Party

As grand purveyor of many things strange and pointless, Amazon is now selling tins of Ukip jelly babies.

Costing just £5.50, they deliver the mysterious promise: “This is your chance to bite the head off a Ukip baby.” (Is that a latent desire within us all?)

It then adds: “Did Margaret Thatcher ever say: ‘You kip if you want to?’” in a pun on the former Prime Minister’s: “You turn if you want to” line, which in turn preceded: “The lady’s not for turning”.

“Makes a fun gift for politically aware people, including Nigel Farage. Great idea for a secret Santa.”

As ever, the beauty of this product lies in the reviews –some of which, presumably from Ukip voters, earnestly decried it as “bigoted”, “sick” and a “disgrace”.

One sneering commenter added: “There are no depths to which supporters of the LibLabCon will not sink.”

As is the evolution of such things, the next step saw jokers piling in to mock the Eurosceptic party…

JD: I came across these by accident while searching for some Top Gear Midget Gems. I can only eat traditional BRITISH sweets having found that sucking on anything foreign brings me out in a nasty rash, so I was very pleased to see some UKIP branded goodies. However, I was shocked to find that these are tinned and measured in grams!!! I only eat sweets from little white PAPER bags weighed out in Imperial measurements from large jars from my local village shop in St Ives !! IT's political correctness gone mad, HOW dare the EU tell us how to eat our sweets, It does not take a genius to see this is the fault of the Bleeding heart, loony left, human rights Guardian reading brigade. it's time to close our border and stop the flood of migrants into this once great Country before they ban werther's originals completely. MARCH on PEOPLE's ARMY.

Amazon Customer: After purchasing this tin of jelly babies I separated the different colours into their own little groups then kept the white ones and sent all the other ones back to where they came from (amazon).

Steve Dresden:Jelly Babies in a tin? That's ridiculous - everyone knows that jelly babies should come in a bag. I'm willing to bet that some EU big wig in Brussels is responsible for legislation that means we can't enjoy our jelly babies in a good old-fashioned British bag, and instead have to eat them out of some sort of tin (made by a foreigner as well I'll bet!)

Paul Ward:Jelly babies have always been a favourite in my family but we love especially the black ones. Will there be any in this tin?

David Chambers:It's amazing how a little tin of jelly babies can stir up so much annoyance! These could be improved by having little labels on them indicating which UKIP member they represent :)

PS Just to illustrate that we are not UKIP haters, we'd like to point out you can also buy an I Love Nigel Farage pillow case (currently on sale for £6.99) and a “Spice Up Politics Gift Mug” featuring the UKIP leader’s face in a variety of expressions.

10 Policies You Had Forgotten Ukip Had Made
Taxi drivers must wear uniforms(01 of10)

For those who see a black cab with an illuminated sign saying 'TAXI' on it - and aren't sure whether it's a taxi - Ukip had you covered. When Andrew Neill put this to Farage on The Daily Politics in January, saying: "You favour a compulsory dress code for taxi drivers". Farage said: "Do we?" The policy didn't actually make it into the 16-page manifesto but was mooted by a "discussion group" that fed into Ukip policies, then policy chief David Campbell Bannerman told HuffPost UK.

Ban the burkha! (Well, in some places)(02 of10)
Open Image Modal
In the section about 'Restoring Britishness', the manifesto pledged to "tackle Islamic extremism" by banning the wearing of the burkha or veiled niqab in public buildings and "certain private" ones. "Ukip opposes multiculturalism and political correctness - aiming to create a single British culture embracing all religions and cultures," it said. (credit:Anthony Devlin/PA Archive)
Shield our children from Al Gore's 'propaganda' (03 of10)
Open Image Modal
Eurosceptics and climate change sceptics appear to go hand in hand - Ukip say they wanted to abolish the Climate Change Act and ban Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth from our schools, calling it "global warming propaganda". It also pledged to stop funding the UN panel on climate change and fund the Met Office "according to forecast accuracy". But they did have a green side... (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Get us all to drive electric cars(04 of10)

The manifesto said it would "incentivise and support" the use of electric road vehicles. (credit:John Walton/PA Archive)
A 'proper' Treason Act(05 of10)
Open Image Modal
Yeah, that's right - a "proper" one. Suck it, traitors. The act would be to prosecute British citizens found guilty of attacks on "the British people or armed forces". Beyond that, there isn't much detail. (credit:Alastair Grant/PA Wire)
Boot camps for young offenders(06 of10)
Open Image Modal
Young people consistently in trouble with the law were to be sent to "boot camp" to stop them "spiraling into a life crime". Ominously, that is all the manifesto has to say on the subject. It also pledged to double the number of prison places, presumably in case the camps didn't work. (credit:Jeff Moore/Jeff Moore)
Safeguard British measurements(07 of10)
Open Image Modal
Farage wasn't Ukip leader at the time of the 2010 general election but we detect his fingerprints on this. His party pledged to "safeguard" imperial measurements like the pint and the mile from being "undermined" by Brussels. So, Farage won't have to order "half a litre of ale," (or worse, lager) any time soon. (credit:Steve Parsons/PA Wire)
Triple the size of the border staff(08 of10)
Open Image Modal
The Border Agency needed to be tripled in size to around 30,000 employees, in order to enforce Ukip's proposed new requirement that every non-UK citizen's entry and exit to the country be recorded. (credit:Steve Parsons/PA Wire)
Return to grants for students(09 of10)

University students are an unlikely target demographic for the eurosceptic party. Nonetheless, they said they would return to the old student grant system and scrap students loans which are leaving them in "heavy debt" If only those thousands of students who voted for the Lib Dems had known...

'English-only' days at parliament(10 of10)
Open Image Modal
Bloody Scots, coming down here, taking up their duly elected places in the House of Commons. On "English-only" days, the MPs from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be required to go home and perform the devolved duties of the regional assemblies - whose existing members they would replace.
