As the UK has no centre party at all at the moment anything of real substance would be, if not "strong" but stronger and badly needed, with both main parties appearing to the public as dithering about what they want.
I get sent an occasional newsletter from UKIP and Steve Crowther starts the one I received this week with an attack on the biased BBC, it starts;
"The BBC is now acting as a fully co-opted member of the Remain rearguard. This week’s scare story on supposed post-Brexit food prices and shortages was an extraordinary piece of distortion.
A series of people were recorded saying that under certain circumstances there might be an adverse effect on their area of work or business following Brexit. One was a man who imports chickens, who said their “could” be higher prices. This was followed by an interview with Owen Paterson MP in which John Humphrys plumbed new depths, even by his standards.
The whole confected premise was to create the required headline, scaring people into believing that food prices would rocket and there would be shortages and empty shelves in the shops after Brexit. The fact that food prices are likely to fall, and the UK economy could receive a huge boost from import substitution, was mentioned in the report but entirely ignored by the news headline and the Humphrys interview.
John Humphrys’ interviews increasingly resemble Monty Python’s ‘Mouse Organ’ sketch, in which a deranged man thumps a line of mice with mallets to make them squeak, until he is dragged off the stage."
This is the kind of critism which UKIP excels in, you will not hear from the two main parties and what IMO Britain needs. If UKIP is "of yesterday" you have nothing to fear, but I say,
Bring it on Nige!
