Keeping Track of UKIP

The link seems to be broken, but I have the thing in front of me as I write.

The UKIP Manifesto for the 2010 General Election called not only for more high-speed rail, but for no fewer than “three new 200mph-plus high-seed rail lines”.

This would have included “a new line between London and Newcastle with a spur to Manchester, a London-Bristol-Exeter line and a linking route via Birmingham”.

There would also have been “a Hong Kong-style Thames Estuary airport”, with another “high-speed rail service to London, the UK and the Continent”.

But now, of course, high-speed rail is an EU plot. I really have had them on here saying that. They say the same thing about same-sex “marriage”, which they also fully supported until Cameron decided to legislate for it.

Look out for the EU plots to legalise drugs and prostitution as soon as their rivals for this country’s infinitesimal anarcho-capitalist vote decide to give legislative effect to those shared principles, long, and for now still, professed publicly by Nigel Farage.
