A GORDON BROWN FAN
A teacher asked her class how many of them were fans of Gordon Brown.
Not really knowing what a Gordon Brown fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different…again?
Little Johnny said, ‘Because I’m not a Gordon Brown fan.’
The teacher asked, ‘Why aren’t you a Gordon Brown fan?’
Johnny said, ‘Because I’m a Nationalist.’
The teacher asked him why he’s a Nationalist.
Little Johnny answered, ‘Well, my Mum’s a BNPer and my Dad’s a BNPer, so I’m a Nationalist.’
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, ‘If your Mum was a moron and your Dad was an idiot, what would you be then?’
Little Johnny replied, ‘A Gordon Brown fan.’

OUR GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATES
Our three candidates in the General Election are pictured below.
On the left is Dr Charles Mather standing in Wigan, Ken Haslam standing in Makerfield and Gary Chadwick standing in Leigh.
We will be standing on several main issues which have not as yet been addressed by the other parties. Some of them are listed below.
1 BRING OUR TROOPS HOME. We do not believe we should have our soldiers fighting an unwinnable war in someone else's country, costing the lives of our young men and thousands of Afgan people.
We have no interests or rights there and the war causes increased resentment among Afgans and muslims leading to terrorist threats here.
We understand muslim resentment at our involvement in their lands.
2 AN IMMEDIATE HALT TO IMMIGRATION. Our country is full up and can not sustain a rapidly growing population especially one with so many competing cultures.
More jobs would be created for native British people. Pay levels for the lowest paid would rise and make it pay to work and give a sense of purpose to our youth.
If foreign specialists WERE NEEDED they could come on a temporary basis but would NEVER be given citizenship, as is the case with British ex pats working abroad.
3 DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Who cost £ billions in benefits and legal fees, not to mention the pressure on housing.
4 DEPORT FOREIGN CRIMINALS. Australia and other countries do it so why can't we?
5 SCRAP THE HUMAN RIGHTS LAW. Which give more protection to criminals than to victims.
6 A REFERENDUM ON EU MEMBERSHIP. We believe we should leave the EU but continue to trade with them as do Norway and Switzerland, very successful countries, but our people should be given the choice, that's democracy!
7 STOP ALL FOREIGN AID. We are in debt and have to borrow the money we give to places such as China, a county with massive assets, India with a space programme and many billionaires some of whom own British industrial companies.
8 INCREASE OLD AGE PENSIONS. Many old people live in poverty after working and contributing for a lifetime often for little pay. If we took the measures above we could pay for an increase and cut the budget deficit at the same time.
9 IMPROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. Cut out the "non jobs" in government and with the savings made renew our infrastructure and coastal defences. That way we would have a return on our investment and reduce unemployment.
10 BRING BACK LOCAL DEMOCRACY. At present 83% of our laws are made in Europe, and most of the rest are made in Parliament without any democratic mandate. We believe many regulations could and should be made locally in order to give people a more influential say in local government.
Of course ther are many other policies and the above ones will be fleshed out. They are just a part of our basic programme. I will speak on these and the others in later blogs.

British democracy: no better than Uzbekistan's
Postal ballot-rigging, partisan officials, censorship of candidates … no independent observer could call our elections free and fair.
By Craig Murray, former ambassador to Uzbekistan
The returning officer is almost always the chief executive officer of the local authority.
The problem is that, de facto, those chief executives are party-political appointments. Particularly in the long-term New Labour rotten boroughs of the north, local government appointments are a New Labour nexus. Bluntly put, the New Labour council of a northern town is almost never going to appoint a Tory chief executive.
[ ...]
... I do not accept local authority chief executives as genuinely independent returning officers.
I will continue to use Blackburn as an illustration, because I have an intimate knowledge, having stood there in 2005. An independent candidate standing against Jack Straw in the coming election, Bushra Irfan, has already been told by the local election office that she will not be able to exercise her right to place her own seals on the ballot boxes, as the hasp only has room for the council's seals.
She has just erected an election banner on her own property. Within hours, council officials arrived to dismantle it on the grounds that it did not have planning permission. This ignores the fact that election advertising for a "pending election" is specifically exempted from need for planning permission. But aside from that, one wonders whether other planning issues in Blackburn draw the same instant hit-squad response from the council?
[ ... ]
So, there we have British elections today: an unfair electoral system, censorship of candidates' electoral addresses, little real political choice for voters, widespread postal ballot-rigging and elections administered by partisan council officials in a corrupt political climate.
Don't be surprised if New Labour do that little bit better, when the votes are counted, than you might expect. As Joseph Stalin said, it is not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes.
So are British elections still free and fair? If this were a foreign election I was observing, I have no doubt that my answer would be no.
It may be in the Guardian, but it's well worth going to read it all (plus comments)
