  • I see that the EU are intent on crushing the UK's banking and financial services industry.

    Hateful bunch the EU. Hateful. They'll drag us all down in the end.

    Please can people refrain from commenting to the extreme?! The banking sector will not be crushed with the bonus restrictions, the banking sector is already screwed, it has little to no support from the people that host them, I.e. The public.

    I don't think the establishment realise how serious the situation is, I really think UKiP could almost win the general election at this point. People are sick of the main parties, corruption, endless banking fines and scandals the next will be the commodity market price fixing, MP's expenses, child abuse, book of dirt politics, big business tax avoidance, police not recording crime properly, education meddling, energy company malpractice....

    These things would build up in the past and we would vote, Labour or Conseravtive alternatively.... but we are all sick of nothing ever changing, and people believe that UKIP are worth a try.
    Peace.

    Well, that looks like house prices in Rochester will now be tumbling according to the Tories. This will be interesting to see wont it - enough time to see the actual impact before the big one in May!
  • Won't happen. Just desperation. (House prices).

    If we end up with UKIP the blame lays squarely at the feet of LABOUR & CONSERVATIE parties.

    No. The blame would lay squarely on the voters that voted in UKIP.

    Hardly surprising once people show their true colours.
    Emily Thornberry has resigned from Labour's front bench after sending a tweet during the Rochester and Strood by-election which was branded "snobby".

    Seems as if being English is now a crime. Nu Labour has passed it's sell by date.

    I think many people would object to your definition of 'Englishness'.

    I think what she meant is pretty obvious. Of course it is now spinned by everyone.

    Sorry, a Front Bench MP should know when to keep her mouth zipped.
