Crisis in the EU

Election day and the crisis grows in the EU by the minute . The Greek horrors are having implications world wide in financial markets . Thanks again for this wretched institution which is affecting us all. It is becoming more apparent that the sooner we are out and the the EU collapses the better for all. Voting for the sole party that seems to recognise this, UKIP, is the only practical way forward. Its continuation will lead to hardships for everyone across the country.

The Great Day

It has been a good campaign and the response has been terrific. I am sure that all those who have indicated support will indeed register it in the quiet of the polling booth. We are after numbers so that we can show the country that we care and have the solutions to put our wonderful Kingdom back to where it belongs. It is so important that we vote with both our head and heart. It is principles that matter and there is no mileage voting to just put another party out. It is unlikely that Brown will be back in Number 10. Whatever else happens, even a hung parliament, will be better than 5 more years of his misrule.

There has to be change in the voting system to reflect the mood of the country. For too long now the effective two party system has not given us the government we deserve and has been anything but representative. The Lib.Dems are looking for this change too but they are dangerous as they are too keen to relinquish further control to Brussels. Imagine the disaster of being part of the Euro now. It is bad enough as it is under the Brown years. The SNP is no better as they are looking for the "sanctuary" of the EU instead of being part of the United Kingdom. Crazy!

When you go to the polling station tomorrow please remember that it is our country we want back without foreign intervention. In this way we can grow again and take a useful part in the world as a whole.

Remember this quotation from John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States;

"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweet reflection that your vote is never lost."

Thank you for your support

Countdown

With days to go we in UKIP remain the only true opposition to the status quo. The failed main parties continue to fail to address the fiscal crisis,immigration, EU membership and the huge cost that this involves. Furthermore I still have to hear of a fair assessment of the true cause of climate change. The media continues to ignore the smaller parties harping on about the tiny differences that exist between the larger ones. Here in Scotland we have the SNP with their unrealistic ideals of devolution under Europe. As I have said before there is no such animal. Scotland can not exist alone as we do not have the resources. It is vital that we remain within the one country of the UK. We in Scotland have not lost our identity up to now and we will never do so.

Come polling day it is so important that we stand up to be counted in our beliefs. We must not vote tactically just to remove a party we do not like. Should we do so we will never have a true opposition until there is a change in the system of voting. Hard times are ahead because of the dreadful policies of Blair and Brown which are well recognised. We need an open, listening government which is committed to representing us. As we have seen repeatedly politicians rarely get it right. We need jobs for our workers so that we can start manufacturing again. We need to reduce those in the non-jobs of government. We need to improve education and get a better balance between those able to go to universities and those who would be far happier with one of the many worthwhile trades. Society needs this balance for the good of all. There has to be a shake up of Primary Care so that this originates from surgeries again and not from the unworkable NHS24. Immigration must be controlled and that includes those coming from Europe. This country dose not have the space or the resources for all these extra people. Finally crime has to be properly punished and the rights of victims must become before those of the aggressors who by their very actions have waived them. Good luck and enjoy

Talk straight. Stand up and be counted

Eyjafjallajökull

This is an interesting conclusion to the inconvenient eruption in Iceland from a colleague in the States.

ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?

So true, and this has been going on 4 Billion years. Long, long long, before mankind, combustion engines, or cattle herds were around to expel carbon dioxide. Nothing really new about climate change on Earth. It's been going on for Billions of years and it will be going on for billions of years after something has replaced species homo sapiens.

All of you out there in America and across the globe who have fought so hard to tackle the hideous enemy of our planet, namely carbon emissions, you know ....that bogus god you worship of "Climate Change" or "global warming" ....well, I feel it is necessary to inform you of some bad news. It really does pain me to have to bring you this disappointing information.

Are you sitting down?

Okay, here's the bombshell. The current volcanic eruption going on in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash this past week, has, to this point, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet.

I know, I know.... (group hug)...it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, going on vacation to a city park instead of Yosemite, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your $1 light bulbs with $10 light bulbs ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just the past four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in the past four days has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And, those hundreds of thousands of American jobs you helped move to Asia with expensive emissions demands on businesses... you know, the ones that are creating even more emissions than when they were creating American jobs, well I just know that seems worthwhile now.

I'm so sorry. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western U.S.A. will start in about two months and those fires will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two years.

But hey, grab a Coke, give the world a hug and have a nice day!
