A phrase I expect that will be heard often today.
And no amount of "we are better off in Europe" or such bollix is going to convince a majority of British citizens.
The claim that we as British citizens benefit from Europe is nonsense, jobs tell those 500 odd workers at Ford who have seen their work moved to Turkey or construction workers replaced with cheap East Europeans, education schools oversubscribed, health service swamped.
Do Clegg, Cameron and Milliband really believe we are better off absorbing millions of East Europeans and being subservient to unelected officials in Brussels.
We've had enough! I think most of us realise the motivation of establishment, in attacking UKIP, can you imagine the howls should anyone start asking Nick Clegg about how Cyril Smith got away with his alleged crimes.
If you want to live in a free confident country you know which way to vote. Still if you like to live in a society dominated by hypocritical establishment just do nothing.
Nice promo for Lib-Dems, well done Tony! I'm voting for them too.
ReplyDeleteI left it ambiguous but I will be voting for the turkey's who will be voting for Christmas probably not lib dems
ReplyDeleteIt just shows how honest the UKIP MEPs are compared to the rest, as they are willing to vote themselves out of a cushy number in the EU Parliament, rather than see this country continue to be ripped off by the money and power grabbing scamming EU. Meanwhile, the others are quite willing to go along with it, chauffeur driven cars and all, they have never had it so good. UKIP ARE THE ONLY PARTY WORTH VOTING FOR, AND IN WITH A CHANCE OF ENDING OUR SUBSERVIENCE TO THE VILE MONEY AND POWER GRABBING FOREIGN RULE OVER US.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have torn up your Lib Dem membership card, Mr Flaig. Urging folk to vote for another party - UKIP - must surely bar you from continuing to (pretend to) be a member, and a "liberal".
ReplyDeleteAs you may realise, people aren't clones 15 36 one of my fellow party members not so long ago was pushing some bedroom tax protest stuff ( a campaign by socialist workers ( a contradiction ).
DeleteIn the main I cannot fault lib dem policy outside of Europe matters, UKIP attract support from across the board.
Something's in life are more important than petty affiliations, if your happy to see Britain dragged down by unelected brainwashed Eurocrats enjoy, for myself I'd rather plump for a unique largely fair and equal society which has evolved a civilised culture independent of crazies just look back to history, when not so long ago much of Europe embraced fascist dictatorships
Why are Southern Water and TDC polluting the beaches again - and saying there are contractors out cleaning up the mess? Dirty Britain again.
ReplyDeleteIf the Liberals join with SDP and now Tories it was perhaps inevitable for Tone to develop LibKip or is that LibKipConDem-EU to give it it's full title?
ReplyDeleteCertainly Farage has more chance of leading the Libdems than Clegg after 2015!
i think you may be taking this more seriously than is necessary
ReplyDeleteClegg and oakeshott are taking it seriously so maybe you should Tone...
Deletei just wonder if democracy exists having visited an empty polling station at around 8 o'clock tonight
ReplyDeleteno wonder this country is in such a s*** state
I did a postal vote, as did almost everyone I know! Lib-Dem's encouraged it, don't you remember?
Deletei think you may be taking this more seriously than is necessary
DeleteI love ECR's new link to this blog (check it out "UKIP Tony"!).
ReplyDeleteI was going to vote Ukip but couldn't get the lobotomy done in time. My brain kept telling me not to vote for a bunch of Daily Mail reading wackjobs with pie-in-the-sky policies (all 2 of them!).
ReplyDeleteI voted for a large toilet brush with tinsel wings instead as it seemed to have more brains than the Ukip candidates.
Clearly you do not read the Daily Mail, 16:06, as, being a Tory paper, they are doing their best, other than the odd feature writer, to burst the UKIP bubble. Mind you, I think your beloved Ramsgate is going to go totally purple from recent South East news items, although, after the county elections, I suppose it is already.
ReplyDeleteHear UKIP are also planning to move in a whole host of their 'wackjobs,' as you describe them, into the new town at Manston and that has to be so much better than an airport.
Good news that the BNP has lost its seats in the European Parliament. But then the electorate doesn't need to vote BNP now they have UKIP instead, of course. You must feel so proud and principled, Mr Flaig, as a "liberal" to have voted UKIP - and to have encouraged others to do so.
ReplyDeleteOne with Simon Moores for deliberation
ReplyDeleteA serious matter the allegation that Kent PCC was covering for her Chief constable at a time Simon seems to be arguing that the Chief constable was compliant to the PCC aberrant will. Isn't it strange that Simon hasn't raised this aspect of the history.
Does the public interest demand that a full inquiry into Ms Barnes be made ? As Chair of KPA from 2005 she was head of the discipline authority for Kent Chief constables (Not IPCC) How much covering might she have done ?
She joined Kent Police Authority 2001. Scotland Yard and Dyfed Powys Police were conducting post 9.11 inquiries into the training of Al Quedda suspects at British gun ranges. And a Sections 38B and 54 Terrorism Act statutory duty to report thus fell on all members of Kent Police Authority. Significantly including Thanet tory Cllr William Hayton.
During her time with KPA and as PCC Ms Barnes has waved bye bye to three Chief constables. David Phillips at a time General De Chasterlain was asking for authority to deploy his International Arms Decommissioners to Kent under authoprity of Good Friday Agreement. 2010 Mike Fuller after a JUdicioal Review file was stolen from Registry of Royal Courts of Justice and after Private Eye's expose' of James Shortt as bogus ex SAS.
And now the Mark Ellsion QC review and prospective Theresa May judge led inquiry. Did Shortt work for Clifford Norris associate Charlie Kray ? Who was the source of moonlight bodyguard work to Met regional crime squad including Det sgt John Davidson of Lawrence murder inquiry. The RCS men were disciplined 1995 and three of the five left police with mental health problems. Public record. BUT on debrief of detective constable Puttnam Dover 1998 who knew about the bodyguard disciplinary ?? Kent Police conducting Lawrence inquiry.
Oh dear how else in 1998 might this knowledge have been uncovered BEFORE MacPherson reported in Lawrence Inquiry Feb 99 ? Ahead of me Tony ? High Court libel case Maison v Mortlock if High Court judge had been told the truth that Kent Police Authority had called for inquiry and report 1997 and that Kent Chief constable (inj spite of compromise in handling Lawrence Inquiry) was refusing to report.
You just have to love the way history has of coming back to bite PCCs and Thanet tories on the haunches. Now to Theresa May for terms of reference that conceal the truth from a Judge once again ?
Come on Simon surely you can see that to promote your cause it would be rational to represent the public interest by demanding a full inquiry into cover up going back at least to 2001 ? Including into the circumstances in which and reasons for a Thanet tory blogging that the history of 6th Thanet range was totally innocent ? Ha ha ha
Not quite sure how you link Thanet Tories with the PCC. The PCC seems to have rubbed the latter up pretty well in her short term in office, even to the extent of one of them flying a banner over Police HQ calling on her to quit.
DeleteFrankly all that documentary proved is that PCCs in general are a bad idea, Ann Barnes is out of her depth and, by association with her, it brought Kent Police into disrepute.
This morning the UKIP leader Farage announces 2015 election manifesto including setting up a grammar school in every town.
ReplyDeleteHe must have missed the report out last week that claims that Grammar schools fuelling the gap between rich and poor.
The article completely ignores the fact that grammar schools increase social mobility by enabling bright children from poorer backgrounds to enjoy an education which would otherwise be the exclusive preserve of the rich. Take away grammar schools and you would find that the brighter pupils from the private schools would cream off the best paid jobs thus, not only fuelling the gap between rich and poor, but also ensuring the rich only get richer.
DeleteSo why apart from Kent and a few other counties do the rest of the country use non selective eduction? David Cameron also refuses to bring them back. Even KCC believe their Kent test is flawed in so much as the better off can pay for tutors and we end up with many students that struggle at grammars schools and deny children that are not tutored their rightful places.
DeleteWhy, Anon, because of a campaign back in the sixties to remove the grammar schools and replace them with the flavour of that time, the comprehensive. Although subsequently many educationalists have realised that the one size fits all system does not work too well, outside the more affluent middle class areas, no one is actually brave enough to reverse what has already taken place. Hence, areas with grammar schools keep them and those that switched go without.
DeleteDavid Cameron, the feely touchy man's Conservative, is too busy trying to make the Tories more 'nice' to be seen to support grammar schools, so he will not bring them back. That said, he is certainly not brave enough to risk the wrath of his party faithful any further by closing down the grammars that remain.
Testing at any given age is always a problem because whether it be the 11+, GCSEs or A levels, there will always be parents who try to give their kids an edge by paying for private tutors.. Apart from trying to make the tests as tutor free as possible, the best way to make a selective system fairer is to have regular reviews against performance. That actually happens and children do go onto grammars at later stages. The grammars, particularly in Thanet, offer many more youngsters further opportunities in the sixth form.
No system can ever be perfect for someone will always try to beat it, even to stage the World Cup! On education, the end result of no grammars is that those less well heeled all trot off to the local comprehensive, however good or bad, and the richer kids go to their Etons and Harrows. Is that what you would like to see, Anon?
