Dave illustrates Nigel Farage's point

On yesterday's QT, UKIP leader Nigel Farage managed to get a word in edgeways, and pointed out that the three large parties were more or less indistinguishable*.

Dave The Chameleon gives us a good example. Per The Metro:

On GMTV this morning, Tory leader David Cameron said: "The interest rate should** be passed on. If they do not, further action may be necessary."

How is this any different in any way shape or form different from the crap that The Goblin King or The Badger have been spewing recently? "Further action", what's that, exactly? Aren't the Tories supposed to be just a leedle bit more small-government free-market liberal than Nulab? Ah well ... just a thought.

* Let's not forget that even in an authoritarian regime, the dominant political party can come in several disguises. In East Germany, the dominant party was the SED (formed by merging KPD and SPD) but this was in permanent coalition with the National Democratic Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Democratic Peasant's Party and the Christian Democratic Union.

** Should.

In re QT and N Farage - Dumbleby needs throttling. His riding of Mr F was digracefully partisan and showed a depth of economic ignorance that is breathtaking. The audience sympathy was clearly with the Dumbleby - another packed house then.

Really this is too much. The quality of even the 'top' bbc people is totally, well, crap. And their partiality is nothing short of scandalous.

And no, I am not a UKIP member.
