Oh dear! Oh dear! The Tories are in a tizz. Even Lord Ashcroft’s money couldn’t swing it in east or South Dorset last time, so Ian Bruce is wooing Roy Child and UKIP to help win back the South Dorset seat (Your Say, March 2).
And what can he offer? Complete withdrawal from the EU – UKIP’s aim? I doubt!
Cameron has already left the major right-wing power group and joined up with a rag-bag of small, extreme right-wing organisations, jettisoning any influence they might have had.
In the great depression of the 1920s and 1930s European countries embarked on a spate of competitive devaluations and revaluations that ended in the Second World War.
Is that how the Conservatives and UKIP want the present financial crisis to end?
One of the Tories’ greatest prime ministers, Winston Churchill, is quoted as saying ‘jaw jaw is better than war war’, possibly in one of his more ‘liberal’ moments.
That’s what the EU is about. By co-operation, peace has been kept in Europe for over 50 years and even extended to and beyond the Russian border.
Finally, methinks all us honest taxpayers should ensure the noble lord’s tainted money fails once again. There’ll be plenty of choice.
