Whenurhappy - thanks for the reminder - have re-read, and no more impressed as last time.
Capt Scribble and others - IMHO none of the UKiP policies stands up to scrutiny - what they do is pander to the biased prejudices of, mainly, tabloid readers. What the current Government has done, faster than some would have liked, is to address the deficit they inherited and address the global financial crisis caused partly by bankers and partly by governments that over-reached themselves then borrowed their way out of the consequences. There is another issue that appears not to have been addressed directly, but is evidenced by the slow growth in wages and salaries - before the crunch we, collectively and internationally were paying ourselves over the odds, the UK given its poor levels of productivity, way over the odds. Rant over!
