He also used to be a member of the National Front.

So we can stop the brickbats when former NF members are accepted into UKIP, can't we.

I have to say though that he's right about a fair bit of, if not all of it.

Cameron and Clegg make me wish there was a Hell, so that they may end up there for Eternity, as promptly as possible of course. They're bringing back the Victorian age, well, where are the bomb throwing anarchists to carry out some propaganda of the deed upon them?

Yes, he was in the NF but did a political 180 since then.

Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?

The Tories are trying to win back their traditional voters and the only way to do that is to attack the welfare system. This is just the 1980s all over again. Unfortunately for David Cameron, he is not Margaret Thatcher, and he's got very little to privatize, and a banking system that cannot be deregulated.

He will fail miserably in his premiership and he knows it, so he is doing the only thing he can and that is to bash those who have to rely on benefits.
