U.K.I.P.
- 28 April 2010 11:3449388Personally I believe Charlie Elfiske is sincere and woulkd like to do a lot, but the party he is in is an e.u. agenda party, which cancels all good will of intent, as this becomes void of effectiveness! I'm surprised that at least a part of the Tory party has not advocated leaving the e.u., and joined up with UKIP.
In fact, that what the Tories once represented has been drastically changed by the e.u. policies, including mass immigration, and forced funding of other states, e.u. demobilisation of western economies and protectionist methods towards the eastern e,u, cconomies. The Tories can't possibly claim that this represents their original ideals! They should wake up and change agenda, and offer an alliance with UKIP, or at least those among theTories who see that their old ideals are not practicable within the e.u. system should start asking questions...Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

- 28 April 2010 20:0849423Part two of the email from Lord PEARSON to me.
(b)There is also the Institute of Directors and Taxpayers "Alliance".How to save £50billion"This details £50billion pa of cuts to waste, which could happen in the first year.
(c)UKIP.Budget and the Economy paper details £13billion pa, which could be cut by getting rid of a number of useless quangos identified by the TaxPayers "Alliance"
(d)Then there is 18£billion pa.(for 40years)for "Global warming"(from the Governments Climate Change Act)
(e)And £5billion pa for the "Private Finance Initiative".
A+B+C+D+E=£206BILLION per annum.
We SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT SAVING SAY HALF THIS FIGURE PER ANNUM,but our political leaders continue to argue about £6billion..
Longer TERM.
By 2013 the Government estimates that the accumulated"Deficit"-The National Debt-will have reached £1,300billion.(1.3trillion, the "Black Hole"£20,000per man,woman and child).This will be roughly 90%of our annual Gross Domestic Product(What the country produces every year).The "deficit"is still forecast to be running at £90billion, and even that relies on the economy growing at 2.25%pa. Which it isn,t.
And just for fun,the above figures do not include some £300billion of loans and guarantees made to the UKbanks which will not all be repaid,and "Quantitative Easing"(printing money)at £200billion . On top of the £20.000 public sector debt per person,we have also racked up private household dept(primarily residential mortgages)of over £50.000 per average household.
WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Yours faithfully Lordpearson of Rannoch leader of the UKIP party.
So there you have it all, we are in a mess but there is light at the end of the tunnel and that is get out of the EU now, and get new leaders, not keep puting back the old partys, I say please VOTE UKIP next week.
Well now I have done that it is back to our manifesto but not tonight. Thank you so much for reading my post,s and all the letters after them. - 29 April 2010 08:2049470There must be 1000s of tons of paper being used on Election leaflets just looking what our party has done in Deal and Dover all households get one by post and we will by next Thursday will have taken around some 20.000leflets if that is what we have done ,how much paper is being used by the Blues and the reds and Lib/Dem they do alot more than us ,and I think the most paper used must be done by the blues I have had about 5or 6 of their leaflets put in my door. Now if you think of that being done over the whole of the UK it must run into millions of tons of paper.
I am just off out again and will be around my own area today. Thank You. - 29 April 2010 09:0549474I think Vic you are mistaken because I deliver the Close where we live and I donot put leaflets through your door .There are three leaflets which I have not delivered .I think you have received two by post .
Are you against leaflets then Vic ??Our leaflets are paid for by people in our branches raising money throughout the year .Our workers work all the time . - 29 April 2010 10:5749490How do you think we pay for ours then and I am now looking at four of your leaflets, anyway all I am saying how much paper all partys use at Election time.That is All.
- 29 April 2010 11:1849494I'm woried not so much about the cost of leaflets now, but what Barry is writing, that now Britain has to pay 15 percent of every IMF loan to bail out every bankrupt e.u. economy, one after the other. I'm asking myself if he is serious. He seems to think it's just peanuts. Do the Tories seem to think it's just peanuts, or have they an official programme on this policy. Isn't it about time they told us what their intentions are on this topic, paying 15 percent to bail out every bankrupt e.u. state.
Well, I suppose if you pay peanuts, you get monkies!Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

- 29 April 2010 14:0349530I wonder just how valuable these leaflets are. I have just received my first Conservative leaflet, more like a small book. Presumably this is hot off the press but it contains items which seem out of date and also uninformed.
The back page states: "The Big Issue: People say the only thing to change in the last 13 years is that Labour are selling off our port and closing down Dover's hospital.......If things stay the same, all we will get is Labour's polyclinic in the car park. And our port will be sold off to the French, or whoever."
I was under the impression that the polyclinic in the car park was a dead duck many moons ago, having been sunk by the Environment Agency saying that it was forbidden to build on a supposed flood plain.
I think that Labour will indubitably sell off the port if they get in, despite Gwyn being adamantly and unwaveringly opposed to such a measure. I am also positive that the Conservatives will do so, since privatisation is their stock in trade. Saying that they will review the matter after the election appears to be pure electioneering as the review will simply conclude that privatisation will go ahead. In the meantime, they will hope that Charlie will get elected on the basis of saying that he is opposed to privatisation since it would appear that this reflects the wishes of the majority of Dovorians.
I think that Charlie would make a good M.P. but he has a mountain to climb in convincing Dovorians that he is not a closet privateer. He is an advisor to the Conservative hierarchy and has advocated privatisation of the Royal Mail, et al. The one item he has not advocated for privatisation is the Port of Dover where, surprise, surprise, he happens to be standing for election as M.P. He will be uncomfortably aware that the last person who tried that was Paul Watkins at the last election and the electorate comprehensively rejected the idea.
To say "And our port will be sold off to the French, or whoever" is unfortunately either pure electioneering hypocrisy or demonstrative of a complete lack of awareness of recent history. It can be lumped in the same category as Barry's oft repeated mantra that Labour will conduct a fire sale of the port. The last Conservative government conducted the fire sale of all time when they sold off all the railway ports, together with the Sealink ferry fleet, for a derisory pittance when they privatised the railways.
This stemmed purely from political ideology, the Major government desperately wanted to sell off the railways before they were booted out of office and to make it impossible for Labour to renationalise them, as they were saying that they would do. In consequence, they were prepared to sell off the nation's assets for anything they could get. As a result, the whole lot went for next to nothing to Sea Containers, based in Bermuda and owned by American shareholders.
This was a direct transfer of wealth from the British taxpayer to American investors. My mother's generation suffered over a decade of austerity in the post war years to pay for the railways to be nationalised and added to the family silver, a measure that was essential to repair all the damage and wear and tear of WW2 and beyond the resources of the private railway companies. All thrown away at the stroke of a pen. The ultimate example of how our two party political system has consistently let our country down.
A news item last night brings the question of foreign ownership into immediate focus. The French own the Port of Newhaven, one of the ports sold off by the Conservative administration to Sea Containers, the rest of which the latter then sold on at immense profit. Newhaven is a special case as nobody wanted it and the French bought it reluctantly from Sea Containers as the Seine Maritime council own the Newhaven-Dieppe ferry service which they wish to maintain to attract tourists. The French council have spent a fortune subsiding the service and the beach in Newhaven was closed off to the locals years ago as they could not afford the extra sums necessary to maintain safe access. They are now having one of their periodic tiffs where Newhaven council are asking for their beach to be reopened and the French are having a hissy fit and threatening to go and play somewhere else.
Charlie's brochure is entitled "It's time for change." When I first heard that this would be the Conservative slogan characterising their election campaign, I could not believe my ears, having just had a year of this slogan from the Barack Obama presidential campaign. As a party criticised for having slick PR skills and concomittantly short on substance, could they not have thought up something a little less hackneyed? Now that Nick Clegg has turned the tables and used the Change slogan to point out that yes, the country does need change, and it is a change away from the weary duopoly of Labour and Conservative following one another into power election after election, I would have thought that it would be a good idea for the Tories to softpedal on this slogan.
All in all, this brochure seems to be an own goal in several respects and should do the other candidates no harm whatsoever. - 29 April 2010 14:0449531Well it is back to the real world now coming tonight it is back to our Manifesto,it will still be on the "Economy"from there we move over to the NHS and Healthcare.I can see at this time I am not geting alot of feed back on UKIP Manifesto,so I take it you are all in agreement with it.
- 29 April 2010 14:0649532Thank you for that Ed it was a very good post well done.
- 29 April 2010 18:0449579Ed ,good to meet you the other day .Back to Charlies leaflet ,he is referring to the option which seems to be the favourite now ,the car park at Buckland Hospital .
- 29 April 2010 18:0949582Isn't that the very same place Gwyn waved his Buckland Hospital "appeasement" paper for the press photographers?
