Three weeks ago we submitted a Freedom of Information Request for a copy of the EU treaty that David Cameron was supposed to have vetoed. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office have responded today with the following: Dear Mr Parr, Thank-you for your email. I apologise for the short delay in getting back to you. We are not [...]

I don’t find myself disagreeing with Nigel Farage very often when it comes to the EU and constitutional affairs but on the subject of the EU Commission on a Bill of Rights I completely disagree with him. UKIP’s has made a submission to this commission slating the EU Convention on Human rights which was turned into [...]

Here are some letters I’ve had printed in the Shropshire Star recently (italics are bits they edited out before printing) … English are not to blame for turbines For the last few weeks there have been a couple of letters a week complaining about the proposed new wind turbines to be erected in Wales “for [...]

It’s today! I am standing for election today as a UKIP candidate for the Brookside ward of Telford & Wrekin Borough Council, having been elected unopposed onto the parish council as only 8 people contested the 8 vacancies. It should be an interesting one this. There are two seats on the borough council up for [...]

The election is almost upon us and it’s time for a prediction I think: Nick Clegg will be Prime Minister. Now, don’t get any silly ideas about the Lib Dems winning the election because they won’t. The Tories will win the election with most seats but they won’t have a working majority and Cameron would [...]

Dave “the Ego” Camoron has got his mug plastered on billboards all over England inviting people to vote for change … by voting for the other of the two parties that share power between them. Some change. No thanks Dave, I think I’ll vote for real change, not more of the same. New Labour or [...]

UKIP has launched a petition calling for a referendum on our continued membership of the European Empire. Ignoring the fact that the petition says Great Britain when it should say United Kingdom (another of my pet hates!) it’s one worth signing. This petition is going to be a big one, a lot of resources are [...]

Oh dear, oh dear, another leaked BNP membership list. Things aren’t looking up for the BNP are they? Last week Nick Griffin was forced to accept that the BNP cannot lawfully refuse membership to non-white or non-”British” people. A court ruled – using a bill that isn’t a law yet, it seems – that the [...]

As reported in the media today, the Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of the corrupt Electoral Commission and ordered Westminster Magistrates Court to change its ruling that UKIP only has to forfeit £18,481 of the £363,697 in impermissible donations received from Alan Bown. The donations were found to be impermissible because Alan Bown [...]

No need to spend a fortune on a polling company to find out how many Tories are intending to vote for Farage, ConservativeHome have already got the answer – 64%! The Tories are more split than ever under the expert leadership of David Camoron. Keep up the good work Dave. Technorati Tags: ConservativeHome, Election, John [...]

The European Empire has admitted, just one day before the ban on proper light bulbs comes into force, that energy saving bulb manufacturers are “exaggerating” their claims about equivalence. The British government, its Energy Saving Trust quango, the European Empire, bulb manufacturers and environmental extremists have been telling us that the energy saving bulbs will [...]

Back in July I wrote a fairly lengthy post on why UKIP’s devolution policy is wrong. The relatively few comments it attracted belies the number of UKIP members and sympathisers that hold the same views – I received many more comments away from the blog and through the UKIP members’ forum. This prompted me [...]

Lots of people are wondering why David Camoron keeps avoiding answering the question of whether he will hold a retrospective referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The reason is simple – he doesn’t want to admit that he can’t. To repeal the Lisbon Treaty, or even to just repatriate powers from the EU like the Tories [...]

Stuart Wheeler is one of those rarities in political circles – someone who puts principles before party. While his donation to UKIP and subsequent expulsion from the Tories is great news for UKIP supporters and eurosceptics in general, it has to be remembered that he has been stabbed in the back by the party that [...]

Stuart Wheeler, the multi-millionaire who has donated millions to the Tories, has defected to UKIP. When David Camoron reappointed arch-eurofederalist Ken Clarke to his shadow cabinet, he managed to not only irritate vast swathes of the Tory membership but also Stuart Wheeler, their biggest donor. Wheeler warned Camoron that he wasn’t happy and they needed [...]

The LabourList website is being relaunched with a new design. Don’t worry though, it’s still a waste of bandwidth populated by the same tired old sycophant party officials, failed politicians and corrupt communists. Of course, with the website being hosted on Planet Labour, you can expect the usual bizarre version of reality that Labour supporters [...]

UKIP’s Dr Bob Spink MP very kindly agreed to do a Q&A session for Bloggers4UKIP and here it is, unedited and straight from the horses mouth: It’s now been 8 months since you left the Conservatives and joined UKIP. Do you ever regret making the move? Do you think you still stand a good chance [...]

Liebour have won the by-election in Glenrothes, a bordering constituency to No Mandate Brown’s Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath constituency. When John MacDougal died earlier this year (following a visit by Jonah Brown, incidently) Liebour had a majority of over 10,000. Their majority has now been reduced to 6,737 with a swing to the SNP of 5%. [...]
