ROBIN McALPINE ASKS THE KEY QUESTIONS.

FEAR WILL COST US DEAR
THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL IMPACT OF FEAR I am afraid the economy is heading off a cliff. The catalyst for this looming disaster is the huge hike in energy, fuel and food prices which are sufficiently serious enough to pull many middle class families either into, or close to, the poverty trap.

DON’T SLIP UP NOW!
BEWARE THE AMBUSH As we all recall the recent NEC elections made sweeping changes and a lot of people lost their places, including several senior figures.

BY JOVE GOVE IS RIGHT!
He is not talking about Scotland though. For unionists what makes obvious sense all over the rest of the World does not apply to Scotland. Why? Because Westminster has not finished with Scotland yet. We are their cash cow, we are an asset rich, resource rich nation who unlike the sixty four other nations whoContinue reading “BY JOVE GOVE IS RIGHT!”
WHAT ROAD SHOULD WE TAKE?
BEWARE MAJOR’S PLAN..ITS A TRAP!
