What the number of UKIP peers appointed tells you about Cameron if you are still a Conservative

Natural justice required that a number of UKIP peers be appointed , along with the other opposition peers.

Remember David Cameron's clearly false protestations about only wanting a pre-election debate if the Greens were invited. Suddenly its all naked power politics and no principle.

Well if you have been a Conservative and you are one of those who is still labouring under the delusion that David Cameron is actually 'negotiating' on the EU for 'a better deal' then there just no place to hide from your naked gullibility.

The man's a rat- the the new peers list shows it quite clearly.

The Conservative party is lost and quite frankly those who still are members who don't support the EU superstate project and wilfully deceiving themselves.

"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.
