Farage & UKIP
It was very disappointing to see how well UKIP did in the election. But one thing cheers me up a little, of those voting 75% did not vote for UKIP and the imposter Farage.
Let us consider what he is selling himself as, anti-Europe and anti- immigration and as a man of the people. He is almost certainly descended from immigrants, a name like Farage does not sound terribly English. Perhaps he should like me be proud of his immigrant background. I still recall n MEP proudly proclaiming that all 16 of his great-great grandparents were born in Norfolk. What was there to be proud of, that his family were unadventurous and very boring. People who have made significant contributions to the world have largely travelled and explored other places.
Then he claims to be a man of the people, but his father was a stock broker and he went to a public school. He then worked as a trader in the City, the group of people who have brought the financial crisis upon us. He is really much more like Cameron than either admit, which is probably why the do not like each other. They sell themselves, which they are quite good at but what they sell is just the same as what the bankers sold us, a lie which will line their own pocket.
Is he really anti-Europe, he sits as an MEP and his second wife is German, so what doesn't he like about Europe. Probably like most Tories what he doesn't like is the protection that European legislation has given to workers, especially women. It was European legislation that made employers give the same rights to part-time workers as full-time ones. This was hugely beneficial to women who made up the bulk of the part-time work force. The working hours directive, which in this country seem to be misunderstood, but who wants a doctor who has been on duty for 48 hours treating you. We don't let lorry drivers do it so why should doctors be allowed to. Unfortunately we fought off attempts to stop firms in Britain selling "ice cream" that has no cream! Is that really a triumph?
However our so called free press devotes many column inches to telling us how bad Europe is but very few to telling us that good things come out of Europe. Why would I say "so-called" free press. Because the national press is dominated by a few very rich men, most of whom do not live in Britain and hide away in tax havens. There only concern to is to protect their wealth, they have no interest in the long-term welfare of the citizens of Britain. The rich always want less interference and lower taxes
as it might damage their wealth. They want the right to lie and cheat you, I wonder if Mr Farage believes that publicans should be allowed to water their beer. After all it is only government interference that stops that happening.
Perhaps that should be the slogan "Vote UKIP for watered down beer"
