#1 The BBC apparently won't ever give up its anti-war tub-thumping. listening to its Radio 4 coverage is a case of sneering presenter after sneering presenter introducing the subject, followed by sneering correspondents spinning the events with scepticism at every turn, followed by talking heads' analysis or discussions - all of whom, without exception, are in lock step with the BBC agenda, ie the war was unquestionably wrong, there can be no justification, it was a disaster, the motives of those involved were evil, and the only reaction from anyone participating in the inquiry or observing, is contempt for Blair et al. The BBC, as usual, is craven, arrogant, partisan and wrong at every turn.

#2 There has been a huge growth in the availability of consumer goods: computers and mobile phones. People also feel freer to express their political opinions openly and assertively without fear of persecution.

Obviously these are an anathema to the neo-Socialist on either side of the Atlantic. That's why they still oppose the liberation of Iraq.

#4 I wonder what would happen if UKIP floated the idea of privatizing the broadcast media, eliminating the onerous TV tax, and limiting the number of media outlets that could be controlled by a single company.

#5 Turns out that the Iraqis aren't paying much attention to a bunch of babbling Brits ...

and thats a good thing , cos the only voice people really hear in and outisde the uk is just that

UKIP do offer alternatives to main stream 'fanciful politics' , There is/has been far too much 'yoghurt weaving' in the UK since Thatcher/Reagan times (not saying they were sweet times, but at least there was 'gelling' relationships and cohesive policy .. Lets be frank, (no not uber poster here) ... this mess wouldnt happen under her .
