Bit confused, Farage yesterday called for the Foreign Enlistment Act to be amended to include "enlistment" in IS army and for citizenship to be withdrawn from those fighting. But the FEA only has the penalties of fine or imprisonment and requires the accused to be repatriated and to undergo trial... Am I missing something here...
"The biggest problem for for blues, I contend, is that too many people don’t see it as the party “for people like us” – which is the negative perception which it always gets the worse numbers."
And yet Cameron and Osborne are now consistently out polling Miliband and Balls on Leadership and on the economy in the polls? If Thatchers term in Office taught us one thing about the UK electorate, you don't have to like or always agree with someone on all issues to respect them as a PM/Leader. In this current febrile polling age, we forget just how many working class folk have voted Tory over the years and why, and it was never about them being the party "for people like us". It was always about the more competent way they ran the economy and the financial stability it brought to ordinary working families.
Biggest consideration at the next GE for most voters, who is best able to keep the UK economy growing with the added security and stability that brings for high employment and low interest rates. Do we go for the competent 'Bullingdon lads' who have delivered, or do we risk it all because those son's of socialism Ed Miliband and Ed Balls contrived to pretend they are more like us?
Anecdote from a non Tory voter I was chatting to earlier today up here in Scotland, he is in fact one of the now rare lesser spotted Scottish Libdem voters. And his view of Cameron, 'I like him, his heart is in the right place when it comes to trying to do the best by us, he just hasn't always been well advised on some of the issues effecting us'. PS, he is a voter in Danny Alexander's constituency, and he has also been totally turned off by the SNP/Yes campaign in that patch.
all the news channels are reporting - unconfirmed I stress - that Officer Darren Wilson was very badly beaten by Michael Brown. He was apparently taken to hospital and has a fractured eye socket.
IF this is true it's a game changer.
The fact that all outlets are reporting it does tend to make it feasible.
The way info comes out like this in dribs and drabs and disjointedly - hardly surprising they're rioting in the streets. It's terrible PR.
Will it make any difference to those media who want to portray Ferguson as Birmingham or Selma c. 1963?
Didn't with Trayvon Martin, Rodney King, Duke Lacrosse, Jena Six and the many other media contrived events. I read Toby Harden, the Sunday Times propagandist in America, still referring to Zimmerman as white rather than a Hispanic this weekend.
Wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some Journolist successor network coordinating the news coverage. Such evil is to be expected from the media but it is the actions of Obama and, in particular, the DoJ under Eric 'lets have a conversation about race' Holder that are particularly alarming. Attempting to block the release of information contradicting the media narrative as well as the threats made against the police with highly politicised investigations of their actions, like some third word banana republic.
