I was reading a report on the Rochester and Strood by-election where a voter was asked why he was voting UKIP and he replied because the Tory MP for the constituency had done absolutely nothing for them. The UKIP candidate he is voting for is the same Tory MP who defected to UKIP, Mark Reckless. I concluded that the voters in Rochester are getting exactly what they deserve. I mean you genuinely couldn't make that up. It beggars belief that intelligent people can even consider voting for this bunch of nutters, but it is indicative of the alienation of the electorate from Westminster. To combat this trend the Tories are trying to outhate them over foreigners and the EU. This has led to Germany's President Merkel telling the British that if they do not stop trying to alter the basic rights and freedoms of the European settlement then she will support kicking Britain out of Europe. She told Cameron that he was reaching the point of no return. That is strong language indeed from another country's President and we should take careful note. I ask you to consider the implications of leaving Europe for employment rights, pensions, human rights in general, the welfare state, employment etc. Most of our multi-national companies are only located here because we are members of the EU and they would withdraw immediately were we to lose our membership. In addition we would be leaving a trading bloc of over 500 million people and would be subject to EU tariffs and all the barriers to entry of that bloc. In addition, if UKIP get a serious hold on British power they are committed to abolishing the Scottish Parliament.
Rather than counteract the bile and hatred pouring daily out of the Mail and Express, Westminster allows such bullying and attempts to appease it. In doing so, Britain becomes increasingly fascist in character. I continually warn you that we are ruled by intellectual misfits and that the political system in Britain is seriously flawed. We are ruled by incompetents and clowns, causing Will Hutton to call the Prime Minister incoherent, immoral and economically illiterate over his tax policies in yesterday's Observer. I urge you to read his article. I would extend that description to cover 90% of government policies. What gets me is why it has taken Will Hutton so long to see what I have been telling you for some years now? What we are witnessing is the enduring legacy of Margaret Thatcher and her determination to destroy the collective nature of British society and the engine of that society, the welfare state. I had a conversation with a friend of mine recently when he quite seriously described Ed Miliband as a Marxist. That is how illiterate political discourse is in this sorry mess of a country today. I asked him if he thought Miliband was a Marxist, what that made me? However, I am still being repeatedly assured that we are Better Together, so I must be wrong. I am in genuine despair that there is any solution to what I see are our deep-seated problems and am becoming resigned to the prospect of a corporate fascist style Britain leaving the EU and finishing the destruction of the welfare state, leaving us at the mercy of privatised foreign companies who take all their ill-gotten gains out of the country and leave us in a bankrupt mess. When that happens, the Thatcher revolution will be complete. You have been warned.
