UKIP - The Future - Volume 3
Discussion
Nobody is coming out of this Bashir thing well.
Firstly he was selected as a Respect candidate. Then deselected him when Galloway discovered he had "no real political principles or commitment ... only naked opportunism and self-interest". Erm, wouldn't it have been an idea to find out if he was suitable before selecting him?
Then he joined UKIP and got onto their candidate list. Then elected as a UKIP MEP. Then made the party's small and medium business spokesman and their communities spokesman. He was there for 2yrs and nobody noticed something was up. Or if they did (and it seems they did a while back) rather than expel him they were happy to have him until very recently. Maybe to play the "Where's Amjad?" get-out-of-racism card.
Now Cameron has welcomed him with open arms, again seemingly without any due diligence and simply to grab some anti-UKIP headlines.
Lastly Bashir himself appears to be a bit of a dick.
When an event can make Milliband and Clegg look good you just know it's bad.

Great to see they thought of 99 things before remembering the economy.
Oh, and what genius says they're going to half the foreign aid budget to then prioritise British companies to deliver foreign aid that we hardly provide. Joined-up thinking, right there.
Did they get a focus group of year 10 students to produce that list?

C-
needs to apply himself and provide a coherent, well reasoned dissertation.

I agree with some of the 100 more than others but I can't disagree with a single one.

"Reaffirming British laws, rather than allowing dual-track legal systems for minorities in the UK"
Aside from the fact that there is no such thing as 'British Law' and there is no dial-track system for minorities.
Really, who on earth has forgotten to vet this Jim Royal wish list?

They're designed to appeal on first sight but a lot of them are meaningless and many will increase public spending.I agree with some of the 100 more than others but I can't disagree with a single one.
98 is bks but designed to appeal to the knee jerk frothers. 100 is meaningless - rebalance how, exactly? 83 is nonsensical - what is stopping parliament from voting on GM foods? 35 could potentially double prison costs but this is going to be paid for by cutting taxes.....
It makes Labour look both genuine and fiscally competent by comparison.
