Man in a Shed: Tony Blair confirms what many of us say about David Cameron

"And the oddest thing of all about David Cameron's position? The PM doesn't really believe we should leave Europe; not even the Europe as it is today," http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32198938 ( Though I note it's a what he will say quote - one of the more annoying things about today's journalism. OK I'm using it - but the subject is too important to ignore.)

Many of us explain to Conservative Eurosceptic friends exactly this point, but due to some sort of Stockholm syndrome they can't see it. ( I should know that included me once ).

Lets be clear either the EU does well in this election or the UK does.

Vote for UKIP is you want your country back from people like Blair and Cameron.

"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.
