Immigration: Word Sketch of the lemma “immigrant” in Lawnmowers and kettles’: the UKIP calypso lyrics in full @mailonline

Word Sketch of the lemma “immigrant” in UKIP calypso:

_immigrant__Word_Sketch

 

 

And here it is: the UKIP calypso lyrics in full

Taxpayers’ money where does it go? Not even George Osborne knows, when we’re in power and we engage, there will be no tax on the minimum wage.

Leaders committed a cardinal sin, open the borders let them all come in, illegal immigrants in every town, stand up and be counted Blair and Brown.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

The British people have been let down, that’s why Ukip is making ground, from Crewe to Cleethorpes, outer Hendon, they don’t believe Cameron’s referendum.

Coalition could be a fact, with any party we could make a pact, stop telling lies about us do, and we’ll stop telling the truth about you.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

Though our pensions scheme is in a mess, we need money for the NHS, to Jean-Cleade Juncker we’re giving away £55m a day.

Oh what a farce he won the vote, this is my favourite Juncker quote, he looked a reporter straight in the eye and said “when things get serious it’s time to lie”.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

The EU live in wonderland, tried to ban bent bananas and British jam, we don’t want jam the EU way, jam yesterday tomorrow but never today

The daily polls suggest somehow, Ukip are the third party now, in the euro elections we were so immersed, we weren’t the third party we were the first

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

With the government sitting on the fence, Ukip policy makes more sense, to get out of Europe is our target, Commonwealth not common market.

Other parties please take note, Ukip is not a protest vote, so mark your cross and by word of mouth, tell them what to do in Thanet South.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

With the EU we must be on our mettle, want to change our lawnmowers and our kettles, our hairdryers, smart phones and vacuum cleaners, but Ukip is wise to their misdemeanours.

Farage likes his fags and beer, but there is one thing I want to get clear, now I like Nigel, he’s a friend of mine, but he appears more than Dimbleby on Question Time.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

The other parties will count the cost, in Eastleigh, Thanet, Thurrock and Boston, Labour and Tories shaking in their boots when Ukip kick them up the grass roots.

Meanwhile down at Clacton-on-Sea, Ukip are making history, Douglas Carswell, we’re quite adamant, will be the first MP in parliament.

Oh yes, when we take charge, and the new prime minister is Farage, we can trade with the world again when Nigel is at No. 10.

Can you pass a UK citizenship test? Most young people can’t

Migrants to Britain hoping to gain citizenship must get 75 per cent or more on the Life in the UK test, which was recently revamped to incorporate “British values” (whatever they are).

A survey has found that most young Britons would actually fail the test, however, which probably has Ukip supporters feeling very confused indeed.

New book The Education of a Lawyer @ABAesq

The American Bar Association has published “The Education of a Lawyer”. The book is mostly advice from an attorney to college and law students as well as beginning lawyers, about the study of law and how to succeed in the legal profession. According to author Gary Muldoon, “it is by no means about forensic linguistics. Although, I do manage to get in a few digs about that subject, trying to let a broader readership know that Forensic Linguistics is an important and emerging area that they should attend do. (One essay in the book is “It all started with William the Conqueror.” And it acknowledges the work of Peter Tiersma.)

The book at present is available through the American Bar Association:

According to author Gary Muldoon (Muldoon, Getz & Reston) “The Education of a Lawyer” is a fairly easy read, and not overly academic. Though, one group of law students that read a draft of the manuscript commented that it was clearly written by somebody older.
