this IS why UKIP is winning. The Main 3 parties still don't get it.

Tamara Cohen writes in the Daily Mail but quotes a Matthew Parris article from The Times in which he rails against the Voters of Clacton and dismisses them as insignificant.

I think he's very patronising of thousands of voters across the country - he is exactly right about their values and attitudes but we all have a vote don't we and if enough don't Vote for the "Big Three" then someone else is getting the votes and will Win.

He patronises and denigrates these voters with his words. If he is right then what is wrong with these people - are they not free to live their lives as they choose, not how MP chooses?

Somebody has to represent the static caravans and holiday villages, and the people and places that for no fault of their own are not getting where a 21st century Britain needs to be going. 

There are many in a place like this who might be attracted again to the Tories by a noisy display of hostility towards immigration-and-Europe, political correctness and health-and-safety: hostility to a Britain that has forgotten the joys of Ken Dodd, meat pies, smoking in pubs and the Bee Gees

He IS right that part of Britain MUST move into the 21st Century and make the wealth. There is a lot of these in the South East and they are not living in Clacton. What he doesn't realise is how people feel North of Watford. They are hard working but still they do not see the wealth of the SE, they are sick of the Bankers Bonuses that are telephone numbers but WE have bailed out these reckless Bankers and see the Establishment as in bed with them so what are they going to do for us?

With attitudes like yours Matthew they will no vote Tory or Labour because Milliband is not Working Class - he's just as out of touch with real life as the rest.

Privatise the BBC - £1000 bounty to catch dodgers

TV on the Taxpayers? Ludicrous in the 21st Century. Why put people in prison for watching TV. When there are all the alternatives to the BBC - all Private and they can make money WHY do we have to pay the Licence fee? Its a TAX on entertainment.

They could save all the money in the courts hounding people and making criminals out of them and in this time of austerity we can't afford a £145 a year tax. I've had no pay-rise for 5 years yet MPs are to get 10% whether they want it or not.

Privatise the BBC and do away with the Licence fee. Public service TV can be paid for out of levy on all of the TV channel providers SKY can afford  bit.
