The Big Society and Carbon Sin

Several weeks ago I sent a letter to Mr.David Cameron PM after he had announced his plan for the "Big Society". At last, we as citizens would have the chance to share in government so it was in full of hope that I wrote him "suggesting" that he should give us the referendum he had promised on the EU Constitution/Lisbon Treaty and also give us one on membership of the EU. We all know that we have never been asked to governed by foreign powers and it is certainly time that our consensus be sort. I for one will certainly not give it!

Guess what, there has been no reply not even from one of the many minions employed by us to write the usual letter that "the contents have been noted and thanks for contacting the PM". Again the politicians prefer to stay on a different planet than the rest of us. The "Big Society" sounds a very good idea, but what does it really mean? We have heard no more about it since he announced it all those weeks ago so it may be just one of those Goebbel's-type propaganda exercises.

There have been a number of frightful edicts issuing from Europe in the last few months:
1. The smacking of children
2. Continuing control of our banking systems
3. The political flag of the ring stars is to be flown from public buildings especially from those which have been in receipt of our money courtesy of the EU. By the way have you noticed that the alter in Westminster has been draped in this same political emblem?
4. Fines are to levied on airlines who had to ground aircraft following the volcanic ash scare on the instructions of governments.
5. Persistent carbon control with impossible targets that only serve to enrich the likes of Al Gore and put surcharges on all fuels. CO2 is a natural gas on which all living creatures depend.

That is just but a few and while on the subject of CO2, have you noticed that the Methodist Church is considering the making of this gas a Sin? You have? Well you could go to Hell for breathing out this gas so may be it is time to turn up our toes before we are to be treated to eternal damnation.

The world is going crazy and I long for the time when we can again be governed by our own elected politicians who have a love of their country with a knowledge of life outside politics. Save us from lawyers!

Simple Answers

It is some weeks since the election and we have had time to get used to the coalition of Lib/Dem Con. As was to be suspected after the disasters of the previous government this beloved country is in dire straits and getting worse by the day. Thanks to the machinations of Brown et al. we are all poorer with belts getting tighter. We have the disaster in the Mexican Gulf, there are the financial deceits of the Greeks coming home to roost, Germans starting to revolt against having to bail them out and the promise of worse to come from the other members of the PIIGS brigade. Spain seems to be leading the way here and am I not glad that I do not have property there on ground that I do not own!

I can see it coming. It will not be long before we will dragged into the mire to help bail out this lot with money we do not have in spite of not being part of the Eurozone. More and more debt. There is one simple answer to most of our country's problems and that is to leave the EU once and for all, so saving billions of pounds in one fell swoop; in the order of £150bn annually when all the expenses of implication of EU regulations are brought into the equation. Good bye deficit! But no, our dear coalition remains firmly attached to the apron strings of Brussels/Strasbourg.

There is no doubt that we are over governed so the removal of this one layer would go a long way on the road to recovery. But it should not stop there as we need to rationalise at home too, ridding ourselves of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland MPs and have the elected ones in Westminster return to their countries regularly to work on local matters. So much time and money is wasted on hot air.

One other huge waste of money is the scam of man-made global warming/climate change (call it what you will). Daily there are more and more exposures of the deceit being practised upon us by "expert scientists" in the IPCC, Met. Office and the East Anglia College. For this we are having to face huge sums for carbon exchanges and ineffectual wind turbines which inconveniently stop when the wind dies. Carbon dioxide is an essential part of life and can rise many fold before it can bring about meaningful temperature rises. The earth has been there before and life has continued. Somewhat inconveniently the earth is now cooling, ice caps grow and polar are thriving. Anyone notice the cold winter and spring? Have a good day.

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!

Brown's Crisis

What are the lessons we should learn about Mr. Brown's encounter with Mrs. Duffy? On the face of it she asked some very reasonable questions without malice and genuine concern. The answers she got also seemed reasonable for a Prime Minister fighting for his life. There were also friendly comments about her life and family. Why did he call her a bigot and then blame his aide "Sue" who has been at his side for years? It would seem to me to reflect badly upon the ruling elite in this country and their attitude to the people they are supposed to represent. The electors are to be wooed then forgotten about. We have had the scandal of the parliamentary expenses and the greed that it has displayed. We have the lack of honesty relating to the state of the country's finances. We also have the deceit about the EU Constitution referendum. We are desperately in need of a radical shake up of government. That is my bigotry!
