NOW that UKIP are in the political ascendancy let’s hope that no deals are struck to appease their opponents.

When mass immigration was introduced through the back door the British public were neither forewarned or offered an opinion. Likewise the European Union fiasco.

For too long the cosy political elite have sneered at the electorate, choosing to treat us as imbeciles, incapable of thinking for ourselves.

Perhaps it’s time for some change.
