That's right Howard, we got a photo on the Forum from you and one in the Dover Mercury on the front page.
That's when we presented hundreds of signatures to DDC to remind them of Democracy!
Red Clair knows how to attract people, it seems, by campaigning.
When I joined UKIP back in 2010, the first thing I said was: we must campaign locally, and offered to run a local Blog, and to distribute campaigning material from door to door.
Any party that doesn't campaign will not get anywhere.

The labour party has had monthly stall in Dover for many years gone by and its a way of many of getting your message across, but connect with the public you must.
ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS

Nope, Keith, I'm not a member of UKIP.
But I do follow what they are doing and believe UKIP will soon be the main party challenging Labour.
The Chancellor has preached Austerity for too long and too often. People will not vote for the Tories, it would be like voting for a party telling you that the masses must only suffer, while the rich get richer. Doomed to failure!

Howard, this mystery has a simple answer: in May 2010, after the GE, Vic said he would not stand again as candidate MP for Dover and Deal. That's all. It was a promise to all and sundry made publicly many times over,

"Each household will contribute £70 to schemes to tackle climate change in developing countries before March 2015,"
This is unlawful! They can't come around demanding 70 quid of each family for this.
If they do, I ain't paying up.
They haven't been elected to collect taxes here for other countries. Unconstitutional, they have no authority for it.

But, but something has to be done, surely?
Actually I'm not sure if what they're doing is trying to stop economic development in third world, sorry developing nations, by forcing them to use uneconomic technologies such as wind, biomass, solar and hamster wheels for energy.
If this is indeed the case they are going the right way about it and it can only be good for our economy and I'm due for my medication and nurse said that I might be released quite soon and isn't it lovely that man on the BBC news channel and the one show is fantastic isn't it? And that man two beds away from me keeps making wailing noises and and and...............

Surely this deserves a thread of its own.
I was absolutely aghast when I read this:
"Each household will contribute £70 to schemes to tackle climate change in developing countries before March 2015, under plans championed by Ed Davey, the Liberal Democrat Energy Secretary.
Conservative MPs were furious last night at the scale of the bill, which was unveiled as George Osborne prepares to announce a series of tax rises and spending cuts in today's Autumn Statement.
Lord Lawson of Blaby, a former Chancellor, also criticised the "appalling waste of money" at a time when household budgets are already squeezed.
Senior Conservatives were also dismayed at the timing of the announcement, but Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, hailed the cash as "fantastic news".
The disclosure is sure to provoke anger among hard-pressed families, who increasingly see foreign aid and green energy as among the lowest priorities for Government spending in the current financial climate".
This is truly appalling - looks to me like the Lib-Dem tail, is wagging the Conservative dog.

If we're talking of second party, then the thread is alright for the latest gaffe from Westminster, as they must be on their way out, surely..
While agreeing that our Country should have a carbon emission reduction policy, my belief is we shouldn't be paying taxes to develop other countries' energy policies.
Surely people will have had enough before long with this latest decision from a Tory-Lib government and its Chancellor.
Had they said that British energy corporations should invest some money in this project in other countries, or taxed them to do it, with the aim of reaping a financial return later, once a technology (which???) were developed, and we were to produce the equipment and sell it, OK.
Instead, they want us to pay for it, so that later some chief executives in Britain can earn millions a year reaping the profits, and paying minimum wages in China to produce the technology.
It should be a no-go thing, we should just say: NO!
Give us tangible guarantees first that we're all in this together and not just the chief execs of energy corporations!!!

Alexander if you think that for some odd reason we should have some sort of carbon emission reduction then I'm afraid you are squarely at odds with UKIP's energy policy. They are opposed to these measures and are fiercely anti renewables.
In fact this is one of the cornerstones of their manifesto.
