The UK Independence party is not known for its influence over the Treasury, but it's just put out a press release welcoming the news that the government may be adopting one of its tax policies. "Raising the personal allowance to take the working poor out of the income tax net has been Ukip policy for some years. It's near insane that we both tax and subsidise the same people, those on lo...

Does what it says on the tin. This was of course a cornerstone of UKIP's flat tax proposals. They went for £9,000 in the original paper of 2006, but current thinking is round it up to £10,000. Now, if only they'd nick our idea about getting out of the EU ...

Via Timmy at the UKIP blog, some extraordinary gossip: An interesting piece of news. Well, perhaps gossip is a better description. Gordon Brown is apparently mulling raising the personal allowance for income tax to £10,000. This is the most sensible idea I've heard yet from the Gorgon (notice how it's not badger-brows doing any fucking thinking, he's just the fall-guy for when it fucks up!) But b...

UKIP Toby drove me and Other Brother Pete back to Englefield Green from his excellent Xmas jollifications via a favourite part of Englefield Green, a place called the White City, which is where UKIP Toby now does a lot of his UKIP campaigning.  His purpose was to show me the most spectacular Xmas decorations in the locality, which of course I snapped up with my Billion Monkey camera with grea...

Illness is always somewhat undignified.  But it is a whole lot more undignified if the person who is ill is supposed to be looking after someone else.  And that’s me.  I’ll spare you the medical details.  Suffice it to say that they are the kind of details where sparing is required.  Luckily eldest brother UKIP Toby was able to fill in this evening.  Here&...

For those of you who didnt know West Midlands UKIP MEP Mike Nattrass has had a Column in the Solihull Times Newspaper for a couple of months now. This has been great news for the local UKIP branch. 70,409 copies of the newspaper are delivered around the Borough each week. Below is Mikes column from this weeks paper which gets published under the heading ''Another crazy day in Brussels wi...

More on the Klaus/Referendum scandal I posted just yesterday the video featuring Nigel Farage MEP (UKIP) attacking the scandalous behaviour of the Speaker/Chairman of the European Parliament and his boorish behaviour towards the President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus (The Czech Republic, like Germany has yet to ratify the EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty).
