Clive W Morrison: UKIP’s for Black people!
Intro
I’ve known Clive for a number of years. He’s a good man and a strong Black activist. So when he came to our offices promoting Ukip, I asked him if he’d lost leave of his sense? 'No' he replied, 'there is racism in all the parties including Ukip, but I’m in there to change it’.
I’m not convinced, but I did promise Clive that he could write an article about what he saw as the merits of his party are. Ultimately, you the voters will decide whether or not Clive and Ukip get your support. That’s democracy , and that I very much support.
Simon Woolley
I have been described as an activist, a renegade, an anti-racist, bridge-builder, trailblazer and Trojan horse. I have served as a Labour and Liberal Councilor and more recently a member of the Christian Party. All said nothing concerns me more than our youths. They have been let down by society who is keen to attribute blame of their own failings and use them to fight wars. I always try to take the moral high ground and as a Christian I am neither more in favour of Jews or Gentiles but the love of one God and his ten commandments.
I am appealing to the black community to wake up out of UKIP open your eyes like I have and think outside the box you have confined yourselves in. Politricksters as many of us describe our politicians who trick us in and out of our democratic rights, by us voting or not voting. Anything to get our votes, then abandon the policies you elect them on. I am assuming that you are aware of these tricks so are prepared to move in any direction of your choice rather than the perpetual one. The road they want to lead us down that in reality just goes round and round.
The truth of this matter is that Democracy is about majority rule. That I believe in recent times is why Nelson Mandela chose the path he took. To be empowered in numbers is to have a bigger say on all that matters - enabling us to have representation on the different committee structures and outside bodies. Do not allow yourselves to be taken for granted by being loyal to one party, when they have become more or less the same with their snouts in the trough.
UKIP is the new radical alternative in British Politics and the UK’s fastest-growing party, causing great concerns to the status quo and are labeled as been racist or more racist than our predecessors who forget how they started. I say they are all institutionally racist until they can prove us otherwise. In the mean time, we have to be like a UKIP Trojan horse and be in their camp where our numbers will make the difference. Politicians today appear to lack common sense and are far removed from Joe Blogs. They have all neglected the Commonwealth through their prejudices, imperial and capitalist mindsets, in pursuit of greed rather than meeting our social needs.
I am for out of the European Union and for stronger border control. I believe prevention is better than cure and we are rewarding those our ancestors fought against, who sacrificed their lives so that we may have equal rights, justice, peace and harmony.
UK is in Europe. However the English language and English law stretches throughout the commonwealth nations. Economically, Where in Europe did the UK get its wealth? Is the Queen, Queen of Europe or the Commonwealth nations? On the world stage our borders should therefore be more open to our Commonwealth family.
