    However, a significant percentage (but by no means all) of the rest of his supporters as seen in the press (of all persuasions), on balance would qualify as racist.

    If that is true, it is no doubt true of those from the other parties.

    What is more disturbing, is the fact that thousands of people will not be able to vote tomorrow. As they have
    have not received their postal votes, and cant get to polling stations. Even if they did, once registered for a
    postal vote, you can’t turn up in person. Although they are talking about a last minute change of rules.
    (In some councils)
    If these are in marginal constituencies, there could be some conspiracy theories flying around.

    It could lead to some results being declared invalid.

    In the election, UKIP are estimated as getting around 4million votes, and may only get a handful of seats.
    The SNP on the other hand, will get around 1million votes, and could get up to 50 seats.

    ?

    I haven’t read the article, but doesn’t it refer to the older diesel vehicles ?

    That was then, this is now.

    Anyway, we shall soon see for ourselves. At the end of this year’s first general election.

    What happens if there is a need for another election later in the year, and there is still no overall majority ?

    Simply put many of these countries see the US as the cavalry that will ride over the horizon if trouble arrives. Upsetting your potential rescuer by rejecting their product is not the best way to ensure the cavalry will be available when needed.

    Which is what it probably all comes down to.

    Cameron is getting really worried now, coming out with the mantra, “A vote for UKIP is a vote for Labour”
    It seems to be the best he can come out with. A certain sign of desperation.

    Are you suggesting that Britain should just stop buying newer aircraft?

    Not at all. It’s just that I am of the opinion that newer aircraft should be a significant improvement on what they
    are replacing. I don’t just mean the Harrier.

    I’m still waiting for someone to tell me what the F-35 can do better than existing aircraft.
