They have many, although they all appear to boil down to kick out

Usual lies.

There is no trick in giving people what they want, rather than what
you
think they ought to want.

There's a lot out there tells people what they want to hear rather
than the
truth.

That does, indeed, seem to be the basis of UKIP's policies. No wonder
they are worried by getting what people want wrong.


??? I realluy think you are naive4. That is the basis of the EU policy.
As implemented by Cameron Clegg and formeely Blair and Brown.UKIP
doesn't tell people what they want to hear. Quite the reverse. They
tend
to tell the unpleasant truth....

If you are being told what you want to hear, naturally you will think it
is the truth. However, the real truth is that UKIP's policies are a
recipe
for disaster.


UKIPs important policy is Brexit.
Everything else will follow on.


That is what worries me. The National Institute of Economic and Social
Research has an excellent track record of economic predictions and they
foresee that leaving the EU will permanently reduce the UK economy by
2.25%.


Did they foresee the financial crash ? No, thought not.

Anyway, at the rate fuhrer Merkel is going, there woon't be a fourth
Reich ^H^H^H^H^H European Union left to leave soon.

And what did this lot of "experts" say about why we should join the euro
- Oh let me see

http://www.theguardian.com/money/200...ances.politics

"Britain will be billions of pounds better off if it joins the European
single currency, saving enough money over the next 30 years to pay for
the whole of the National Health Service, the Prime Minister said
yesterday."

They produced a model based upon banking during the period 1980-2003
that predicted the possibility of the sub-prime crisis, but nobody took

Actually to an extent he was.



"We know in retrospect what we missed. We set up the Financial Services
Authority (FSA) believing that the problem would come from the failure
of an individual institution," he said. "So we created a monitoring
system which was looking at individual institutions. That was the big
mistake. We didn't understand how risk was spread across the system, we
didn't understand the entanglements of different institutions with the
other and we didn't understand even though we talked about it just how
global things were, including a shadow banking system as well as a
banking system. That was our mistake, but I'm afraid it was a mistake
made by just about everybody who was in the regulatory business."

It does act very much against other countries in the EU's interest.

Liek Greece...

the EU is run for german industry and french farming. And big
multinationals.

Full stop.

It is not run for the benefit of EU citizens unless they are penniless
east european migrants. Or public sector workers. It is in essence a neo
communist bloc of the old school,which has enlisted the aid of large
corporates to support it, by favouring their interests too, and Merkel
is a communist of the old school herself.

Objecting to someone changing the rules is NOT the same as objecting to

Then I'd suggest you answer the question I asked you. But perhaps that's

Or are you actually saying that changing a rule is always a bad thing

I did.
you asked "Please give some examples of where the EU have changed our

You didn't ask "what rules did they force on you that you object to"


Or are you actually saying that changing a rule is always a bad thing

That is essentially the point of democracy, yes.

Of course to an instinctive comunist and Marxist like yourself, I can
accept that the 'do as we say, not as we do' diktat method is infinitely
more appealing.

mistake. We didn't understand how risk was spread across the system, we
didn't understand the entanglements of different institutions with the
other and we didn't understand even though we talked about it just how
global things were, including a shadow banking system as well as a
banking system. That was our mistake, but I'm afraid it was a mistake
made by just about everybody who was in the regulatory business."
BBC Article: Gordon Brown admits 'big mistake' over banking crisis.


So he was responsible for not doing what no one else in the world did
either?

Thought you didn't like him. But you obviously thought he was Superman.


Get it right. Brown cocked it up. The navigator is responsible if the
ship goes aground. The captain had jumped ship by the time it was
realised the ship was sinking.

Are you saying Brown was responsible for the sub-prime crisis?


Yes.


Takes some doing to be wrong in two consecutive posts.

They have policies?


They have many, although they all appear to boil down to kick out
foreigners and leave the EU; xenophobia and isolationism.

Usual lies.

Which part of the above don't you approve of?

All of it.

If that were UKIP policy I wouldn't be a member of the party,.



I don't see anything in their manifesto that doesn't effectively boil
down to that. Perhaps you can enlighten us.

the only reason that it seems top boild down to 'leaving te EU' is
simply because none ogf the th9ings teh country needs to do *can be done
as long as we remain in it*

We cant reform agriculture and fisheries policy.
We cant set our own immigration targets
We cant adapt industrial H & S and employment policy to undo the
stranglehold of micromanaging regulation.
We cant operate a decent trade arrangement with the anglosphere - which
is where the emerging markets are.
We cant set our own energy policy.
We cant even change any regional boundaries, since those are determined
by EU regional policy.

All of these are set by largely French and German bureaucrats for their
own benefit.

Just because you have a little englander

Just because the soviet bloc held elections, didnt make it a democracy.

All the lefty drivel lossmaking newspapers.
Written and read by brain dead socialists....


If it is all socialist propaganda, you shouldn't have any problem
providing a link to something that lays out the benefits of leaving the
EU in the same detail as the report in my first link, rather than the
vague and generalised promises that UKIP usually comes up with.


Hah.
Name a socialist economy that's thriving!


Norway, Sweden, Germany etc etc etc.

And don't say Sweden.

That’s not what socialism means.

And Norway has done nothing like that.

He failed to properly regulate the banks.
(No more Tory boom and bust)
You forgotten already?

And he got us into massive public and private debt.


He had nothing to do with private debt.

I'm trying to think of any EU referendum we've been involved in. Pray tell
of this common occurrence.

The UK government accounts for all the money it spends?

Why is the UK prime minister - the most powerful person in the country -
not directly elected?

He had it in his power to regulate all the world banks and building
societies, etc?

And he got us into massive public and private debt.


Which this lot seem not to be able to sort - despite promises.

That's what he chose to do, not necessarily the only thing he can do.

How about an equally well researched and detailed report on the benefits
of leaving the EU,


Dont need one on the basic stuff like being able to
determine the laws entirely for yourself, and decide
who and how many are allowed to work in the country.

or examples of major business leaders clamouring for us to leave?


They are irrelevant to what the country chooses to do.

The sun doesnt actually shine out of their
arses and they have a vested interest anyway.

UKIPs important policy is Brexit.
Everything else will follow on.

That is what worries me. The National Institute of Economic and Social
Research has an excellent track record of economic predictions and they
foresee that leaving the EU will permanently reduce the UK economy by
2.25%.


Did they foresee the financial crash ?...


They produced a model based upon banking during the period 1980-2003 that
predicted the possibility of the sub-prime crisis,


But never said it was going to happen.

but nobody took any notice of it until after the crash.


Because it never said that that was going to happen.
