Reckless, Indeed

On last night's Question Time, Mark Reckless repeated his own and Nigel Farage's longstanding support for the legalisation of drugs.

The Brexit Party was useful as a one-off, for this year's European Elections. But it can never be the parliamentary vehicle for those of us who want the radical change that will always be impossible while the workers, the youth and the poor are in a state of stupefaction. That baleful situation, which has been contrived in the past, is being contrived again today. 

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party will be registered before House of Commons rises for the summer recess, even if I have to pay for it myself, ongoing lawfare or no ongoing lawfare. 

And I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham even if I can raise only the deposit, which I could do by going pretty overdrawn, although that was not how I was brought up. I would still prefer to raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign, but I am no longer making my candidacy conditional on having done so. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
