If you've ever been a member of the BNP or EDL etc. you are barred from UKIP membership - fact!

Not true of the other parties though: http://liveraf.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/conservatives-select-former-bnp-activist-for-safe-seat/  etc. etc.

Acres and acres of coverage today about what'll happen next to the Jockos and the rest of us.  Promises, promises, promises but I'll wager very little meaningful change will happen.  Yep, GGG "We live in interesting times!" and the arguements over the next few months will be fascinating but it's not in the ruling elite's interest to allow much, if anything, to change.

Local politics or central government.

Layers of control for the few.

We all need to be more involved.

The young people in Scotland gave me hope for the future.

They seemed to understand and ask the right questions.

Maggs ... local or regional or central won't really make much difference;  they're all as bent as a nine bob note.  I'm old enough to remember the scrag end of local council 'corporations' with their Clerk of Works - these were the guys wholly responsible for awarding council building and road contracts.  The bosses of building firms and road repair firms always 'dropped in' to the Clerks office at Xmas with a crate of Scotch or a 'brown envelope' hoping it would influence who was awarded the various contracts.  What we have now is a scaled up version of what happened in the Clerks office.

I resent that Symptoms, right up until someone hands me a stuffed brown envelope...........

 

having said that with my luck it won't be cash and the envelope would have started out white!

Malcolm I think you need to be Barrington!

If my memory serves me well
