From The Daily Express:
... We are also deeply sceptical of the new religion of man-made global warming. It’s the focus group favourite. It is also the most catastrophic misuse of dubiously collated statistics yet unleashed upon the world. That climate changes is not in doubt. That we must conserve, protect and care for our environment is a must.
But to pillage the public purse and come over as moral superiors takes a special talent and establishment talent at that. As always with science the jury is out. UKIP takes the scientific method seriously. Then there is the issue of tax.
All parts of the Lib Lab Con are planning yet more tax rises for after the election. We beg to differ. This summer the Chancellor of the Exchequer charged the taxpayer to employ an accountant to sort out his own taxes that he didn’t understand. When you have a taxation system that taxes those on the minimum wage it’s time for change. No tax system should be too complicated for us to understand.
To that end UKIP proposes a flat tax system, a near doubling of the personal allowance and an end to the fiction that national insurance is different from income tax. All will gain but those who gain most proportionally will be those who work hard for modest pay.
On education I believe in parental choice and rigorous academic standards. I support the creation of new grammar schools so that bright children from modest backgrounds can fulfil their academic potential. Such an opportunity should not be the sole preserve of children of the wealthy as is increasingly the case.
The family in a council estate deserves the chance to have the best education that this country has to offer, not to be condemned to accept what the local council deems they must have. Parents in the state sector should have taxpayer-funded vouchers so the onus is on schools to compete for pupils and not the other way round...

So how do you take this eminently sensible set of proposals and get the public behind you wheh the PR machibes of the LabLibCon are so effective as misrepresenting you?
At the monet your 'brand' is not generally seen as one that sane people would consider. Plus you have the problem that nany Tories would vote for you, but feel that by doing so they may split the vote and let in the lefties.
Your challenge is to improve your PR, rapidly.
Actually the solution - well, a solution - is the old lefty tactic of entryism. Maintain UKIP by all means - it frightens the horses, particularly at EU- and by-elections. However, those devoted to the eminently sensible (and conservative - in both senses) policies put out by Pearson should hold their noses, join the Conservatives and be very active locally. Seizing control where it matters - on the ground - seems to me the only way to wrest the Conservatives back from the Cameroons and, while we're about it, saving the country.
I love the smell of flat tax in the morning!
"As always with science the jury is out. UKIP takes the scientific method seriously."
Does that mean we should never listen to scientific advice because the Jury will never be 100%
Lord Pearson targetted his Daily Express audience very well.
Dave might be getting worried about the Express, first they covered climategate before the others ( incl Beeb ) now posting for UKIP, whatever next ?
I'm for a zero rated income tax level up to infinity of earnings.
Tax Government created monopolies (Land Rights and IP).
