Godders on Banks
Godders being his usual self, pointing out to the assembled masses of politicians that perhaps the problem was initiated by meddling politicians on the other side of the Atlantic!
Just Say No
UKIP’s London maverick London chairman Paul Wiffen (a veteran of both the music and film businesses) is off to Dublin today, armed with somewhat unusual weapons in the fight to secure an Irish No vote, a guitar and a Sixties-style protest song. Just Say No, written on his recent Italian tour and recorded...
Brown Pinches UKIP Policy
Grodon Brown has committed Labour to holding a referendum on voting reform soon after the next election if they win. In his conference speech, Mr Brown said Labour would hold a referendum “early” in the next Parliament on proposals for an alternative vote system.Under this, voters rank candidates...
Euroscepticism, the young and the old
An interesting generation gap exists in terms of Euroscepticism. To our parents generation, Europe was exotic and exciting. I recently found an old travel brochure from the 1970s, promising that a trip to Spain would be “The holiday of a lifetime”. Nowadays, no travel agent could call a trip...
Flying the UKIP Flag in Buckingham
by Nigel Farage So here we are in Buckingham! A huge number of people have gathered here from all over the country for the first day in the constituency unhindered by the lack of a train station. We had a good start in the town shopping area, chatting with locals about EU issues as well as local concerns...
Election Watch
The election of Susan McCaffery to represent the South West Ward on Billericay Town Council last week represents the 15th council seat we have gained as a party since the start of June. Over the last four months, we have performed better than we ever have before in local elections, picking up seats on...
Lisbon Treaty business debate.
A very interesting debate held between Michael O’Leary and Declan Ganley on Irish TV can be viewed here. How refreshing it is to see issues revolving around the EU being debating on television. Wouldn’t it be great to see the same in this country?
Buckingham Launch
I was in Buckingham on Saturday along with over 100 other UKIP activists to help kick off Nigel Farage’s campaign to win the seat. In all we delivered around 36,000 leaflets, or roughly 70% of the entire constituency. Not bad going for one day. I even understand we had a Conservative member turn...
The Real Tory Split
The Conservative party is not, as some say, “split down the middle” over Europe, which implies two equally sized camps standing face to face. The more accurate description of their division is that it is “split across the middle”, that is, with one side at the top, and the other...
Practice what you preach, Mr. Cameron
So David Cameron has stated that Gordon Brown needs to “get off the fence“ and either accept, or refuse, a televised debate amongst the three main party leaders. This is surely a tad ‘rich’ coming from the man who has sat on his ‘European’ fence for so long, on the...
Off to Buckingham
Tomorrow I shall descend on Buckingham along with fellow UKIPers to help Nigel Farage, erstwhile leader of UKIP, launch his campaing to unseat Bercow at the General Election. Having seen the agenda I think I need to get well rested tonight. Early start and all that – Google maps suggests a 2hr...
UKIP Gain Town Councillor
As is the form these days, I learn via Twitter that UKIP has gained a Town Councillor… The results of the Billericay Town Council by-election: Susan McCaffery 480 (UKIP)  - 57% Alan Bennett 266 (Labour) – 32% Tony Gladwin 95 (BNP) – 11% Terrific result Susan! Another one in the bag.
Irish Lisbon coverage heavily favouring “yes” side.
A company by the name of TNS has covered out an assessment of the press coverage given to the “yes” and “no” sides of the Lisbon Treaty referendum campaign. Perhaps unsurprisingly, their findings show that the “yes” side are being given far more exposure. 46% of Lisbon-related...
Interview With Nikki Sinclaire MEP
Newly elected UKIP MEP for the West Midlands, and party leadership contender, Nikki Sinclaire, has been interviewed by the Parliament magazine. Download it here
Elvis Against Lisbon!
There is something amusing about the YES side taking the matter so seriously, while the NO side still manage to be humorous. Maybe it is why the NO side is so difficult to beat – there is a strength of spirit the no-humour-liberal-boring-politicos simply don’t have and fail to understand.
Gisela Stuart On Lisbon
Labour MP, Gisela Stuart, speaks out against the Lisbon Treaty and explains why the Irish should vote NO, for the sake of democracy in Europe… (need to turn up your speakers for this)
