Do you think we'll see many emerging new parties after the next election, Loud Whispers?
Probably not. Everything's so volatile these days, we'll probably see a fair bit of new parties that eventually fall out. It'd be interesting to see if the SNP, Plaid Cymru or UKIP get an increase in support. Only thing you can be certain of is the Lib Dems getting wrecked.
This category is openly xenophobic and terrible. It starts off badly in the preamble:
With the influx came large numbers of foreign criminals; rapists, pimps, murderers, armed robbers, pickpockets, people traffickers, drug dealers, fraudsters and paedophile gangs were all welcomed by our politicians to come and prey upon us.
FOREIGNERS CAUSE ALL CRIME
We had quite a few high profile cases about Immigrant child prostitution rings, human and drug trafficking as well as a history of gang culture which was made worse by all this.
Tad bit unfair to just go full caps disregard.
Instil a sense of national pride by teaching children of all backgrounds history centred upon Britain’s outstanding achievements in science, technology, art, literature, sport, exploration and every other area of civilisation. Emphasise our contribution to the world and our struggle to remain a free and independent people. Discard the history books which describe our culture and civilisation as one of genocide and oppression.
Whitewash our nation's history. This one actually seems really concerning to me, as with the reform of the history syllabus it might actually happen. We're likely to get some "China attacked first" type shit out of it.
It does sound a bit like babby's first totalitarianism, along with the human rights bit. Personally I do find our textbooks are already warped enough, so yes this is an issue. While the British Empire was the most humanitarian Empire of the big three, it does seem arseholish to just forget about the mistakes along the way.
Overhaul university governance to ensure greater public accountability (including control over professorial appointments), curtailing leftist, anti-British bias.
Kick out academics we don't like.
Agreed.
Reform the BBC to end its left-wing multicultural bias.
Kick out broadcasters we don't like.
Nah, the BBC is publicly owned. So they only want to break one news station.
Ban the Islamic call to prayer and Islamic worship in public institutions and outdoor spaces.
Noisy as fuck, harsh on the ears and stakes a singular claim on what public land should be - indiscriminate towards everyone, not just in favour of Islam, or any religion for that matter.
Openly racist.
How?
And how is Islam a "non-traditional" religious institution?
Probably they mean specific to the UK, which would just get all sorts of fun in Ireland.
Demand that only English be spoken in public institutions and end public funding of translation services. Ensure that English is the first language taught in schools.
Standard populist bullshit. How are we going to attract tourists and overseas investment if we're openly hostile to foreign languages?
They want the private sector to do that.
Celebrate only Christian and British festivals in public institutions; make the patron saints’ days in England, Scotland and Wales bank holidays.
I wouldn't mind additional bank holidays, particularly one celebrating a famous Palestinian hero. Seems to contradict the first sentence though.
Would we be getting a net gain or loss of holidays with this?
02: Defence
This part doesn't really say much, other than standard anti-Europe stuff. I did enjoy reading
Streamline MOD bureaucracy.
Even after they'd promised to set up several large bureaucratic institutions, though. Also protectionism for some weird reason.
They're anti-war [where it suits them] but pro military.
It's not really saying too much. I'd note it doesn't make a single mention of global warming or climate change though, so it's kindof ignoring the two main issues. And again blaming all our problems on immigrants.
(i) minimising costs to maintain industrial competitiveness;
(ii) increasing energy security by reducing reliance on other countries;
(iii) controlling pollution, which impacts on nature and on human health.
Shit, there's a load of stuff they're doing wrong but you're not exactly actually addressing them for their actual points.
This section is fucking rich. They want to safeguard freedom in the UK, while at the same time getting rid of the only thing that gives accused criminals any rights at all. Their anti-surveillence stuff is clearly an example of a stopped clock being right once a day, considering they clearly want to stamp hard on the freedom of people to practice Islam, and the freedom of academics to be left-wing.
True.
