UKIP GALLOP ON !

Listening to the raft of usual platitudes emanating from the leaders of the Conservative, Labour and Liberal parties, after the results of the local elections showed them all to be losing the support of the electorate, makes one wonder just how stupid they think the people are.

Every one of these privileged 'rich kids' spouted their standard responses, roughly stated "We understand that the people are unhappy and we'll do our best to listen to them and put things right". We all know that what this actually means is "Stop being a pain, trust us, keep voting for us and do what we tell you !"

These arrogant bastards simply do not think they are in any way required to represent the views and wishes of the people and they also believe that we are all so naïve as to have never ending faith in them. They fail to realise that there are many people who are a wee bit more savvy than this. During my lifetime, British politicians, no one else, involved us in the Suez crisis, conflicts in Malaya, Kenya, Aden, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and numerous other issues in foreign parts, none of which ended well. They created financial crises in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, always blaming them on others - the bankers, the unions, big business, nationalisation, denationalisation etc. They have spent more and more on 'social' care and activities to little effect; they have introduced more and more control over education while our children have become less and less educated. They have encouraged and allowed massive immigration while ignoring its impact on the existing population and services. Almost worst of all, they took us into the European Union on the back of a massive lie - that it was just a trading block - when it was, in reality, a step towards a United States of Europe. On top of all of this, they have increased taxation, year after year, while telling us that they are actually reducing it; this is a lie repeated over and over again by political leaders who like nothing more than spending OUR money on THEIR pet projects.

Today, after being shocked by the rise of UKIP in the local elections, one would have thought that they might have shown some genuine realisation that they need to mend their ways; some hope. Instead, they all came out with their usual 'double-speak', meaningless waffle which can be interpreted in any way that they like. They did not talk to the people but at them. The one man who comes across as a real person is UKIP's leader, Nigel Farage, and there seems little chance that this will change; Cameron, Miliband and Clegg simply aren't 'men of the people', have no desire to be such and have no idea how to be anyway.

What will happen on Sunday night and Monday as the results of the European elections become known is anyone's guess. One thing for certain is that there'll be more celebration for UKIP and more platitudes from the three stooges.
