UKIP Speech

Speech to UKIP North West Conference 2012, Liverpool, 3/11/12.

I became a part of UKIP because I believe

In liberty!    I don’t like being bossed around, I don’t like being told what to do, not by our government, and certainly not one I can’t vote for if I don’t like what the’re doing. - and I don’t think you should either. 

I believe in opportunity!   If you’ve got the drive and determination to do something great, and benefit societyalong the way, you should be given all the help you need, whatever your background.

I believe in fairness!  People should be incentivised    to work harder and smarter, not punished with higher taxes!

I believe in individuals!   People are wonderful and different. Everyone has something to contribute to society,  and their talents should be embraced, encouraged  and harnessed for everyone’s benefit.

I believe in Industry!   and its importance - economic, strategic and to our communities. British Companies,  given a level playing field, and freedom from the state interference and EU regulation can generate prosperity and employment.

I believe in Internationalism! –Spreading peace,  freedom and democracy around the world through trade and co-operation.

I left the Conservative Party after 10 years, when it became clear, that they’d pulled a massive con trick. They espoused my beliefs, my values and my hopes for the future. For the country where my children will grow up. 

And yet… under David Cameron, they’ve sought to keep Britain under the thumb of the EU, sacrificedour Factories on the altar of European regulation, denied our Children the opportunities to succeed, sold a generation of young people down the river and trampled democracy into the ground by denying us the referendum we were promised and stifling debate.

I announced my resignation at a local Conservative Party event.    I wasn’t on the list of speakers, but that didn’t stop me    I’m very pro-active, you know…. .  I’d be delighted to share that resignation with you now. 

Oh Mister Cameron, what have you done?

You promised us a referendum

On whether Britain is in or out

Of the overinflated Brussels Sprout

Where accountants fear to tread,

Budgets fudged, accounts in the red

Can’t balance the books, despite all their clerks

They’re more concerned with the one by Marx.

Fifty million pounds a day

To Brussels the British people pay

For conference centres, factories and trains

In Poland, Italy, Hungary and Spain

While policemen, nurses and soldiers are sacked

Holes in our roads and our sewers cracked.

There’s better places for pounds to go

Debts to pay, an economy to grow.

Cathy Ashton, I’ve always suspected

Has never even been elected

She’s no experience of Foreign Affairs

But very good friends with Tony Blairs.

Barruso, Van Rumpuy paid more than Obama

To tell us how straight should be a banana.

They want our prisoners to vote for our cops

Please wake me when this nightmare stops.

At sixty years the French retire

For five more years us Brits perspire

So, enjoy your wine, your brie and baguettes

Just leave it to us to pay your debts.

To tens of thousands we opened our border

But half a million’s out of order.

We gave up our rebate, opened our sea

We didn’t oppose the C.A.P.

We’ve obeyed every law, directive and wish

But all they’ve done is taken our fish!

Their Economics is terribly flawed

We told them before, but were always ignored

Now such a mess, the choice is stark

Forced integration or break up this lark

Throw good after bad – their only answer

Who could trust these cheats and chancers?

The game is up, it’s a busted flush

The fat lady’s sung, and gone off in a rush.

Now is the time for action, E.C.

But not even Frank and Angie agree.

So, Mr Cameron, David, Dave

Now’s the time for you to be brave

Don’t be afraid of little Nick

No-one likes that interfering p----

Oh, you can’t leave, just think you’ll miss”

It doesn’t seem to bother the Swiss!

So do what’s right, for all in our land

And don’t let in whatsisface... Milliband.

So please Mr C, make good your word

Give us our say! we must be heard!

Dreadfully sorry to rock your ship,

But I’ve had enough – I’m joining UKIP.

David Cameron has  misunderstood       one   very  important   thing about   Traditional    Conservative    types     – we     are    do-ers!   We won’t     ‘sit and wait’,    we won’t      ‘stand by’     and we won’t‘make do’… while Great Britain –- slides in exorably       into a second rate  backwater of a country, 

powerless and bereft     of the identity      and spirit     that spurred     those Great Britons       that went before us in shaping the modern world… Newton, Brunel, Faraday and Turing…

Our country needs urgent and decisive action        to save it from years of decline,     not dithering,    not compromise –     and certainly not       the interference of the EU!  - THAT’s why membership of the Conservative Party    has halved since Dithering Dave became its leader. 

But I’ve got a little saying – don’t get mad – get busy!   So      I    joined    UKIP, to make a difference!

Because I want    to belong to a party…

for whom politics     is the means     and not the end.

a party      with a range of policies     based on common sense,    good science    and sound economics – NOTsoundbites  and  NOT  headlines. 

A party    that serves the Best Interests     of the people it represents,     not those from whom it seeks personal favours.

A party that remembers     how GREAT the United Kingdom can be      as an independent, adventurous and ambitious country,     and knows how we can be again.

A party      with a membership      who care deeply about their country      and would fight to make it place       where our children have opportunity,    and not debt.

A party    with elected representatives    who’ve been there, and done it,    not just read about it.

A party     with a proper leader     with the courage and conviction     to stand up    for our hopes, ourbeliefs and a brighter future.

A party to but the backbone back in to Britain.

A party   called    UKIP!!
