With the election three weeks away I am desperately trying to find reasons not to vote for Ukip. After all, some Ukip candidates support the death penalty, and I really don't want 'Defence' spending doubled. They do have policies I do like such as pulling out of the European Union, putting a break on immigration till we've digested the last lot, and repealing 'discrimination' laws which only serve to divide and rule. They are pretty left wing in the sense that they are statist, and nationalist too.
But to some extent Ukip is a teeny bit libertarian. In this country, the government is concerned with what you say. Perhaps for he first time since Charles I, there have been show trials of people who have said the wrong thing.
One of the most prominent victims of the totalitarian witch hunt was John Terry, the England football captain. He was accused of calling a certain Anton Ferdinand 'black', something that Mr. Ferdinand is, and which is not a defect of any sort.
Anyhow, the football oiks had to be given a lesson, and their Captain Fantastic put in the stocks.
And so, people walk through life, checking their thoughts before they open their mouths, lest they should speak aloud the wrong words and their lives are ruined.
