I can't believe how leftie-liberal the UK has become. We are far more EU than USA. If we don't vote in UKIP soon we're doomed.

No, we're doomed whatever we vote.
New Lie has squandered the country's wealth (and the biggest boom in history) and as a country we are already financially, ideologically and morally bankrupt. -

I reflect on that every Monday morning, as I file up the steps to the plane, with all the other guys with laptop bags, off to work in some other EU country. When you get to Frankfurt or Amsterdam, you don't see corresponding quues of knowledge workers heading the other way to find work.
Tell me again how much better our economy is working? You have been drinking the US Kool-aid, which they feed us because they have a use for us where we are. It isn't doing us any good.Comment

It'll go more Left as folks poop their pants and demand hand-outs, once they discover that the Great British Be-A-Property-Millionaire project was, in fact, yet another Government "Pyramid Selling" con that has left them with piddle all, and I care nowt for their greed and stupidity-engendered plight. Especially the "Buy to Let" lice.Comment

As for the USA, why on earth would we want to emulate them? Note also that I talk about Europe, not the EU, which I am not a fan of...Older and ...well, just older!!Comment

Also, I am too cowardly and avaricious to risk even £5!
Incidentally, the only growth industry worth investing in is gaming. Growing like bacteria.Comment
