The Great British Back-Off 

The Great British Back-Off

Ed: This article was first published on Gerald Gravett’s blog “The World According to Gerald” and is reproduced below with the author’s permission. Gerald prefaces his blog thus: As a UKIP member, I am inspired by the Duke of Wellington’s comment before Waterloo: ‘I have an infamous army, very weak and ill equipped and a very inexperienced staff.’ We all know what happened next. As was widely predicted, ‘Auntie May’ has succumbed to the pressure and announced that effectively there will be an additional two years or more of transition which will take us up to at least 2021….

Ed: we received this contribution from our reader Susanna Calladine, UKIP Plymouth. It started out as a too-long comment post, and you know what happens to comment posts which are too long! However, a debate on direct democracy is very much needed, so hopefully this text will serve to kick off this debate. Please take this as invitation to send us your contributions as well: I would like to put forward my thoughts on Direct Democracy and how we could integrate this into the British psyche and our political system. Direct Democracy is just another way of saying important…

John Ashworth debates the situation in the fishing industry since we joined the then Common Market.

We entered a common policy, not really knowing what we had joined. Those that knew didn’t say, but worse was to come.

What the authorities won’t tell you about the flooding 

What the authorities won’t tell you about the flooding

Posted by | Dec 27, 2015 | |          

This article was originally published in the Newcastle Journal earlier this month: Amid all the devastation and recriminations over the flooding, hardly anybody mentions one factor that may not be the sole cause but certainly hasn’t helped, and that is the almost complete cessation of dredging of our rivers since we were required to accept the European Water Framework Directive (EWF) into UK law in 2000.
