Spot on threegee! Everything you said is absolutely true, we have known this for a long time at UKIP so our priority is to convince the people, and keep reminding them that the 3 other parties think they are stupid. Their attitude to us, the common man, is very insulting, when you consider that they truly believe that we, the British public cannot be trusted to vote on a referendum. This 'Holier Than Thou', and, 'We know better' than those plebs out there attitude, really makes me so angry, I am hell bent on giving them the bloodiest nose that they ever had. Cameron, Milliband and the other one are worried, and so they should be, their own seats are in danger, because UKIP will be strongly contesting them. Can you imagine if all 3 find themselves signing on the dole, for me it would be better that England winning the World Cup. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the support, we need all we can get. We know that things are going to be tough for us here In Wansbeck, but we are prepared for all the crap that will be coming our way, and we will get through it. Probably the biggest thing the party has to deal with, is the constant lies and misinformation coming from the Con/Lab/Lib Dem alliance about UKIP. But hey, it's nothing new in a way, they've been lying to us for 50 years and they're still lying to us. All I can say to people is, go and show them that you're not stupid, you can tell the difference between what is right for our country, and what isn't. You have a vote, use it wisely, and remember, it is not racist to be patriotic and love your country. After all, it's what our forefathers fought for, and I for one, are so proud of them.

Just got back onto the website after being away from it for a while, and reading all the political opinions from you guys is fantastic. Things are certainly changing in our country, and more importantly in our area, which really excites me. I must admit that I am the Secretary of UKIP Wansbeck, and proud to be so, this is why I haven't had much time to use the site as much as I would like as we are very busy at the moment as there is a lot of work to be done. Anyway, it is so refreshing to hear you all, like myself, waking up and realising that we have been lied to by successive governments all our voting life. It does give us a lift here at UKIP to hear people in Bedlington, where I live, standing up and voicing there opinion. After all, we are only saying all the things that we used to talk about sitting on a hardwood chock down Ellington Pit, but had no way of voicing them in the wider political world. Now we have, and isn't it fantastic. Thank you guys, keep debating, and if you really want to change things you will be very welcome here at Ukip here in Wansbeck.

Well said both Malcolm & Threegee, comments are spot on, agree with every one of them. UKIP is watching you and looking for recruits.

Let's hope the people of this country wake up in time to vote for a party that will get us out of this EU mess we're in. Then we can trade freely with the rest of the world, especially those countries who were loyal to us and we let them down badly by joining. IE: New Zealand, Australia, Canada etc. I'm sure the German people are just waiting to see whether we do it, because I know there is a strong feeling there that their money is being wasted too. 53 million pounds per day back in our coffers will do us nicely, and not having to put up with Barroso and Van Rumpuy telling us what we can and can't do. It would be great to be a truly independent nation again.

Why is it that every time I open the News Post Leader Ian Lavery appears on various pages with someone from Ashington. (Who has won a tiddleywink competition or something) Or something else to do with Ashington. I was always led to believe that the MP for Wansbeck should apply himself to the interests and concerns of ALL the people who elected him in the hope that he would represent them fairly. Maybe someone should tell him that there are people in a place called Bedlington who actually voted for him. As far as I can see we may as well have parachuted a monkey in from Hartlepool and voted for him (or her). Lavery has no interest in Bedlington whatsoever.

Ed Milliband has all the qualities that you don't want in a leader of this country. When I hear him speak I feel sick at the thought that, god forbid, he becomes the next Prime Minister of this country. He has no drive, he is an out and out weakling, he seems to be bereft of ideas of how we are going to get our country out of the mess it is in. He will not give us a refferendum on th EU, refuses to scale down the ridiculous ammount of money we (the taxpayer) give away every year in 'foreign aid'. When our armed forces are weakened year on year by manpowed cuts, all he seems to come up with is a stupid grin. He has never mentioned how he would solve the immigration crisis we now find ourselves in. Which is now having a serious impact on our schools, the NHS and the benefit's system, not to mention the economy in general. I have worked (now retired) 50 years for this country and have voted labour all my life, something I will never do again. I cannot vote for a party that is lead by 'COWARDS'. The Con-Lib weaklings are even worse, it makes you feel that our country is slipping away from us.
