We have been inundated with calls from colleagues asking us if we were aware of the Dow Jones Collapse by over 600 points today.
Frankly it does not take a genius to predict it.
As soon as the "debt ceiling" was raised, enabling the Federal Reserve to Print even more fiat money to bail out (short term) Obamas disasterous management of the US economy, we predicted a massive fall on Wall Street and a continuing downward spiral of the value of the dollar.
To be fair, the rot set in with Clinton, worsened by Bush and continued further by Obama.
The knock on effect will damage Europe too - putting pressure on the Euro - and those Countries like Greece which should never have been allowed to enter the Euro in the first place.
Not to worry though, Cameron will soon be back from his 3rd Holiday this year and all will be well. Mmmmm perhaps not.

Why is no-one asking Clegg the right Question?
We watched the Andrew Marr show this morning listening to Clegg claiming the powerful influence he has over the Tories by being part of the coalition.
What rubbish.
Interviewers should ask the question - why would he have any less influence if he just held the balance of power and 'negotiated' each piece of legislation?
In this way it would be more transparent to the British Public and would not tie the Lib Dems so closely to the Conservatives.
All Lib Dems should insist that their Party comes out of the Coalition before they are annihilated at the next General Election.
By the way, Clegg's undertaking that he would never accept a Tory Peerage in the future may prove as honest as (Lord) Kinnock and (Lord) Prescott's undertakings to abolish the House of Lords.

Why Clegg MUST RESIGN NOW!
We wrote previously how Clegg has betrayed his Party with his coalition with the Tories and his Party will Pay the Price.
Well May 5th was the first such example: 651 Council seats across England lost; the Party came 4th in Scotland; and was battered severely in Wales. The worst results for over 30 years.
Party President Simon Hughes admitted that the defeat in Sheffield was "due to the Leader's unpopularity".
Paddy Ashdown is also briefing against Clegg and so are a number of other senior Lib Dems.
We predicted that this would happen, and unless Clegg goes now and the Party withdraws from the coalition and judge each motion on its merit, worse will come in the General Election.
All Lib Dem MPs must search their consciences and eject their leader, for the good of the Country, their Party and their own futures.

Why is UKIP still failing to make Political Advances despite Market Conditions?
We have a Government that is about to become more unpopular than Thatchers did in the late 70's/early 80's.
We have a Third Party tied inextricably by the apron strings to this unpopular Government
We have an Opposition that has just left power much hated and ridiculed.
The Western World is facing potential economic collapse
Unemployment is Soaring
Incomes are falling
Prices are rising
and UKIP is failing to make any significant headway politically.
How Come?????
It has more MEPs than it ever had
It has more TV coverage than it ever had
It has more dedicated sycophants than it ever had
It has better websites and marketing than it ever had
It has more money (thanks to Stuart Wheeler) than it ever had
and yet its progress is at best mundane if not non-existant.
In America the likes of Donald Trump and Congressman Ron
Paul are achieving great advances and publicity in a similar environment.
Yet UKIP is still struggling. Why?
The Political System? - No
Uninterested Public - No
Media Bias? - No
Try the following:
MEPs more interested in claiming their expenses abroad than spreading the message in the UK;
Poor quality Candidates chosen for High Office to make the Leader 'Look Good' in comparison;
A Leader embroiled in numerous allegations of Corruption, Nepotism and Control Freakery;
No Clear, Concise Message or Blueprint for the British Public showing the way forward;
A Party willing to sit in Europe with Fascists, Dictatorships and other Fringe Elements.
UKIP should be Soaring but is instead floundering and embroiled in bitter in-fighting.
At the end of the day, there is only one person to blame:
NIGEL FARAGE MEP - Its Leader.

"Lib Dems has not lost its Identity" - REALLY?
When the Lib Dems formed their alliance with the Tories, we stated that this is the end of their identity and future prospects. If the Alliance policies go well, the Tories will take the credit. If they go badly, the Lib Dems will be blamed for supporting such a 'rotten' Government.
Their Alliance was a Lose/Lose situation.
Clegg could have exercised more power by being the Party that decides the outcome in a hung Parliament. Instead, he jumped for Office and personal grandisement. His Party has and will continue to pay the price for his personal and political enrichment.
At the Spring Party Conference Clegg told delegates "I haven't been kidnapped by David Cameron. I haven't changed one bit". We believe him. He is not a true Lib Dem following traditional Liberal values with a social bent. He is as much a Tory in our view, as Cameron himself. His birthright, upbringing, and political apprenticeship supports this.
He is no more Lib Dem than Tony Blair was Traditional Labour.
Its time his Party woke up to this fact and eject him and remove themselves from the coalition as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it will be another 100 years or so before they taste power again.

NUS have the Right Strategy and more Groups should follow
Those interested in politics often debate what should one do in the event that they have been betrayed by those politicians who break their word.
There are many avenues open, but without doubt, one of the most efficient strategies is to mount various groupings to actively campaign in the constituencies in which individual MPs (and MEPS) have lied.
The NUS plans announced yesterday to lobby against Nick Clegg and other leading Lib Dems in their own constituencies to ensure they are not re-elected is absolutley 'spot on'. They misled students over University Fees and should pay the price. Prior to, and during, election campaigns the NUS should 'draft in' hundreds, yes hundreds of their members into the constituency and show that community the strength of feeling against their elected member.
Leaflets/newsletters, should be printed now and despatched on a monthly basis. MP surgery's should be massively attended showing the MP the strength of feeling against him/her. Poster campaigns (OK it costs money but this can be raised) should be adopted. Make the MP the figure of ridicule where-ever he or she goes - and the failure of just 1 not to get re-elected will send a very clear warning to all MPs and Party Leaders that they should not take the electorate for granted or treat them as fools.
The Lib Dems leadership betrayed the electorate over student fees. They have swallowed their principles to gain power (and use the excuse of working together). They have proven to be a hypocritical Party no different from the others.
They should be brought down now so that a space is left for a new and genuine Party to rise and 'fill the gap'.
We thought this Party once, should be UKIP, but we can see that the leadership there too has swallowed its principles and gone native. Led, by the much disliked and distrusted Nigel Farage, their MEPs are living off the Hog and enjoying their 'new found' Euro Wealth and have done little to truly represent the people who placed them there. (You only have to ask some of their own MEPs who have recently fallen out with their Leader).
No, UKIP is not the answer, but once we remove the 'Third Party' a New one will emerge, and in view of the dishonesty of the others, lets hope it happens quickly.

UKIP at the Appeal Court Today
Today, the unbelievable situation in the Appeal Court, is the consideration as to whether UKIP should pay in excess of £750,000 or not.
This situation could have been avoided had Nigel Farage MEP and Andrew Smith (the then Treasurer) co-operated with the Electoral Commission rather than make them their enemy.
We have little doubt that The Court of Appeal will legislate aganst UKIP and this could be the end of the Party.
We shall know very soon. Farage and Smith should resign immediately should the judgement go against UKIP, but it may be too late to prevent the Party going into Bankruptcy.
