Alot of talk about UKIP going on all round at this time. This is where I put my foot in it.As I said at a meeting not long ago.UKIP is all about one man,and like a football team building that team around one player, and we see it years ago with Mr G Best when he went off the rails he took the team with him.I can see the same thing happing with UKIP. Without their leader,who do they have to take his place,it is no one if they are not very carefull they will go the same way as the football team went.I should not be saying this but I am,What would happen if the leader of UKIP was asked by the blues ,"If you join us we will do our best to get you a seat in the house of power,and also keep a seat in the EU. Some of you might be thinking that could not happen.Funny old things happen. I say no more.:

It is only old Vic Matcham talking and what does he know?

Ukip must bring more top members out from the cold and let them face the press the leader needs to step back and let that happen, The public need to see more then one face all the time,they have good home policys they to need to come to the front with a new face puting them out to all of us.In the background they do have members that are good but you never hear about them or what they do.Their headoffice needs to move back to London and not in Cornwall as it is now. They need more full time officers running it and more around the UK.At this time the backup to the ones working out there is far from good.So to put it in afew words they need a wake up call and now.

no point voting for any party at the moment.because none have any idea what to do for the best.untill one party comes up wiyh an idea thats plauseable and works then might be intressting to see if people vote for them.

Hands up anyone who thinks that not liking being in the headlines makes you a good party politician.

Lord Pearson would be the first to put his hands up saying he is not a politician.

Chairman of a political party = Politician.
Member of the House of Lords = Politician.

Wrong Mr Garstin,all partys have workers in the backrooms they are not politicians.NOT all the lords that sit in the house of lords are politicians,alot are there from their background Lord Pearson was not put in there by any party but by his background.
Any way you know all this Mr Garstin so I do not know where you are coming from on this one and what you hope to gain by it.

Courtesy The Times.......rvh
Osborne on the rack as sterling set to tumble.
Pound could fall to parity with Euro.
Osborne was on the defensive last night amid fears that Britain`shistoric credit downgrade could
spark turmoil in the Markets.Experts warn there could be a major slide in sterlin with the ponnd
heading to parity with the euro for the first time since the financial crash of 2008 / 09.
The down grading of Britains AAA status is the first for 35 years.
Osborne is now a sad joke.His policies preach austerity for Joe Public and life for egp`s for years to
come.......enough is enough..............
``Genius George``must go say backbenchers. Members of Osborne`s own party were last night.
questioning whether he was the right man to run the economy.
The constant,remorseless drip,drip of gloomy news is beginning to take its toll.
We are heading for a Black Friday.Some Conservative insiders worry that Feb 22 2013 might go
down as Black Friday,comparable to Black Wednesday in 1992 when Britain fell out of Europe`s
currency club ,the exchange rate mechanism,and the Tories lost their reputation for economic
competence.

let's not forget that a weak pound is good for our exports, we can sell more to those evil eurozone members.
