Hello, my name's actually Don, but Consequential is just a username I've used in the past. Without going into too much detail, I'm a semi-retired businessman, married with grown-up kids and maintain homes both London and W. Sussex. I vote UKIP and spend my free time on sports, politics travelling - I travelled extensively in my youth, but not by conventional standards: backpacking and hitching lifts all the way from Paris to Thailand. Loved it.


Glad to make your acquaintance.

@ E dealer. If you're referring to what I think you are, surely it isn't unreasonable for economic migrants from the EU to apply for a work permit before entering the country in order to further their own interests? Though I hasten to add that I support full withdrawl from the European Union, or a drastically reappraising its current remit, so I'm naturally bias. You?

@ E dealer. I'm happy to admit that there's an unsavoury element among the ranks of UKIP, but the same can be said of all parties. But I make no apologies for my political beliefs. UKIP's manifesto speaks sense and appeals to me.


I'm not anti-Europe. Far from it. I just resent what the EU has become: an attempt at a federalist super-state. I want individual sovereignty for all memeber states, not central power wielded by Brussels. In short, I want a say in the referendum I'm entitled to. But unless someone, like UKIP, doesn't start making a noise over it, I'm unlikely to get it.

@ E dealer. It's not a matter of loyalty. It's a fact. He comes from a non-political background, but has made considerable progress as a politician. Although uncomfortable for some, his views on the EU's behaviour and real motives is spot on and shared by many. He's showcasing their gross incompetence from within, which takes remarkable skill and character.

@ ????. I've met Farage in person. His charisma knows no bounds and compared to the handful of Tory politicians who I've met in the past, I truly believe he's more concerned with furthering the country's interests as opposed to his own. He also shares my deep-seated loathing of political correctness, of which I shall comment on in the future.

    • What do you base those statements on?
    • I suppose I'd assume that Councillor McCash, who is, as I recall, a self-confessed revolutionary Marxist, had hoped to take Southwark Labour down his chosen route - when he lost his leadership bid he must then have been looking for a party which shared his ultra-left views (ultra-left at least in the light of Starmer's interpretation of socialism). The Greens, for him, clearly fit that role. After that his timing was all about benefiting his chosen (new) party - at least he didn't stand for Labour and then defect giving the Greens an unexpected 3 year seat. As someone who doesn't share the wings of his political position I don't wish him well (politically) - but neither do I wish him ill as a 'punishment' for his defection.  
    • Agree with all the sentiments above. Hope it doesn't change too much and above all I really hope it stays independent and avoids becoming the same as all the chain pubs in the area.
    • This move won't advance his career in Southwark. He'll have to leave the cabinet now for a couple of months and won't get back on it in May. He might win a council seat but the Greens won't win control of the council and Labour won't have him anywhere near the levers of power. His only (and presumably intended) route for advancement will be for the Greens to offer him PCC seat somewhere in the general election in 2029. By then the Greens will be toast. They might even be finished by this Friday if they don't win the Gorton by-election.
