A Coffee, a Brandy, and watching the scootering world go by, from this Spanish café. But I'm wondering.....Why on earth does the U.K. allow itself to be drawn closer and closer to self-destruction?
The answer's not rocket science.
It's because LibLabCon refuse to get real on so many important issues. Issues like the EU, the polarisation of the UK, defence, NHS, education....the list goes on.
It's because LiblabCon have lost much of the electorate's trust.
It's because LibLabCon are perceived by many to be weak, cowardly, dishonest, and ineffective.
Against that background the lead up to the General Election is amazing to the extent that only one party, UKIP, seems to care about the future health and well-being of the United Kingdom. Don't think so? Well that's what it looks like from here. They look strong, courageous, honest, and practical.
Milliband hangs precariously to Labour Party leadership and lurches from day to day his position worse than hanging by spider's thread, wishing more people would warm to him, maybe even talk to him.
Cameron marches blindly on ignoring the feelings of so many of the electorate. His holier than thou attitude irritates. He says he "gets it"; but does he? Of course not !
Clegg, bless him, and his liberal colleagues wander helplessly from one day to the next in a sort of soapy-bubble, seemingly insulated from reality, maybe hoping something will come up.......
And north of the English border (:-) a selfish introspective Sturgeon is obsessed with Scotland to the exclusion of all else; she waits for full independence in denial of the potential deleterious consequences for Scotland if not the remaining part of the UK. I fear Scots may well live to regret the way this could go; but more likely the canny Scots will turn on Sturgeon when the fragility of an isolated Scotland becomes inescapably apparent.
All in all this leaves an inevitable choice: UKIP. UKIP politicians speak bravely, openly and honestly They are not afraid to be forthright. They admit their faults and they get rid of transgressing members.
The majority of UKIP candidates in the General Election will not be practised politicians - thank God ! Their strength is to have held down real jobs in the real world. They have the strength to challenge inappropriate advice, the experience to identify weakness and strength. UKIP politicians embrace common sense, they reflect the view of a large percentage of the electorate.
UKIP have taken the political scene by storm. What's more they have The Establishment by the delicate parts. Beware Nigel !
