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 [...]

Well, what an interesting night (or to be more accurate, morning).  Labour have won back control of Telford & Wrekin Council after just one stint in opposition in the history of the town by taking control of 33 out of 54 seats. No UKIP candidates got elected to the borough council but where UKIP candidates [...]

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 [...]

It’s been over 2 weeks since I last posted, I’ve been neglecting the blog a bit recently. So what’s been happening in the last couple of weeks?  Well, I went to the UKIP leadership hustings in Birmingham last week.  I’m backing Nigel Farage for leader of course, he’s the best candidate by far.  The second [...]

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 [...]

Switzerland has voted to ban the construction of Minarets in a national referendum. They have an excellent system in Switzerland – one that Lord Pearson has made a key policy for UKIP – where a petition with 100,000 signatures calling for a referendum has to be acted on by the government.  This particular referendum was [...]

Conservative Home has confirmed what we’ve been saying along – the Tories will not hold the referendum they promised on the Lisbon Treaty/EU Constitution. Tim Montgomerie has tried to spin David Camoron‘s treachery claiming that the last line of his cast-iron guarantee to hold a referendum means that no promise is being broken: No treaty [...]

The donations were found to be impermissible because Alan Bown [...]
