Following on from Harriet Harman's appearance on the Andrew Marr show, Eric Pickles, a Conservative 'big-wig', has just been on the 'Sunday Politics', interviewed by Andrew Neil.
Just as Harriet Harman demonstrated a total disregard for the electorate, so did Mr Pickles. His answers to Neil's questions were opaque in the extreme and his babbling and waffling was painful to behold. Apparently, the Conservatives are intending to 'reduce the pull factor' with respect to immigration; does anyone have a clue what this might mean ? To my ears, it was the type of language politicians employ in order to say nothing meaningful and to bamboozle the electorate.
Pickles and Harman may not look the same but they are clearly out of the same pod. They will lie and dissemble as if their lives depended on it, their only aim being to retain dominion over us. Neither of them is to be trusted in any degree, nor to be voted for.
Astonishingly, the other political big hitter to hit the screen this morning, Theresa May, was very different. Also on the Marr programme, she didn't say anything particularly new but she was easily the best performer of the three on offer. An easy smile and some unexpected honesty suggested that she is far more in touch with what is needed if the fortunes of her party are to be restored.
Harman and Pickles are dinosaurs and will soon be extinct. Mrs May, on the other hand, could very easily be the next leader of the Conservative Party. However, I still say 'VOTE UKIP !'.
