What a *ick! Never has there been such a loud mouth that has so often threatened to put himself forward for election only to bottle it long before the off.
Not to mention...what has he ever done?

couldn't agree more tom, the man has made a career out of being unpleasant claiming the credit for successes and passing the buck when things go wrong. needs to brush up on his history so that he learns how the wealth and power of this country was built up in the satanic mills, shipyards, pits etc "oop norf".

" MacKenzie himself stated that he feels that his own spell as editor of The Sun had a "positively downhill impact on journalism""
This quote is from Wiki, but if anybody wishes to know more they can look him up themselves.
Still...it is a free world, with free speech and all that and his noise is as useful as stench, as it warns of his whereabouts.

What's needed is the reindustrialization of the north, with visionary MD /managers running these industries.
If you went around the troops of the British army, you'd probably see that a bigger percentage of these men come from the north,
Presumably McKenzie wouldn't won't there help in times of danger then?
I think ukip would welcome the votes of the north and Wales.

It is more than a shame that the Industrial North, where our Industrial Revolution started, has been allowed over many decades to need these fundings.
If they had been supported properly over the years - not so much with handouts or subsidies, but good managers (and good government decisions) things may well have been very different.

when the pits and shipyards closed no assistance in the way of retraining was offered to those left on the scrapheap.

If the Germans and French can build ships ,PowerStation and car, so can the British, We just need to do what they do
Normal people don't wont to stay on benefits ,workers just need a level plying field, and les tax .

couldn't agree more keith the british working person is the equal of all others, the problem is that the german and french invest in their people whilst traditionally we don't.

With this present Government and the inept Chancellor, telling us that we shall suffer for the next 13 years, but their rich cronies are to be allowed to keep ripping us off and stuffing their pockets, the Country could easily break up.
I've been reading the Sky News comments on the endless "Kate" articles. The majority are fed up and saying enough! Most such comments are not even published by the editor, all 4 of mine got censored.
The Establishment is on its way out, and the vast Apathy reigning at parliamentary by-elections tells volumes: two thirds to three quarters don't even vote their MP.
I can't see Kent's People putting the blame on other regions of our Beloved Country, we all know who the failed elite is that keeps telling us we must all suffer so that the chief execs and the royals can live the life of Riley.

I agree that there does seem to be a heavy weighting on the less well-off to put the Country right and the "wealth creators" are being left to create wealth, but so far it seems, they are creating wealth for themselves.
I'm not a lefty by any stretch of the imagination, but there have been serious mistakes over many years - by both Governments, with much of the British workforce in many industries being ignored or chucked on the scrap-heap.
We did have a serious problem in the 70s and 80s with the trade unions in many industries destroying those industries - "lions led by donkeys" springs to mind; "Red-Robbo" in the car industry springs to mind.

whilst i agree partly with your comments, times did move on from those days (maggie saw to that) most trade unions became(many already were)far more responsible.
