Man in a Shed: The UKIP mood music is up - but I doubt they plan to deliver

The UKIP mood music is up - but I doubt they plan to deliver

The Conservatives are really pulling out all the stops to sound like they are addressing UKIP voters concerns.

In true Blairite New Labour fashion they have a snow storm of annoucements and mood music. David Cameron was even vsiiting beds in sheds to do his Tony Blair emoting with the issue.

But here's the thing - they don't mean it. Already the announcements about EU migrants have been shown to have been implemented already, or just to be unworkable. Home Office kites are blasted out of the sky by European uber citizen Nick Clegg ( and he's right to they are illegal if you stay in the EU ).

What's going on is a whole courus of crying wolf is coming from the careerist ranks of the Conservtaive party.

The thing is gradually over the years their credit is running dry with the electorate and even former party members like myself.

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
