Rick Simpson-UKIP’s Cheadle Parliamentary Candidate
August Newsletter
I have decided to post this bi-monthly newsletter throughout the Cheadle constituency so that you, the electorate have a greater understanding of out aims and values. In each of these newsletter I will present different areas of our policies and news which I hope you will find of interest, more details and our full manifesto is available at www.ukip.org.
In addition I hope you will take some time to view my blog –www.ricksimpson.blogspot.com
LAW AND ORDER. The following is a brief summary-visit website for full details.
UKIP would review all existing anti-terrorism laws, and would repeal or amend any that it felt were not in keeping with UKIP’s values. We strongly oppose the ID card scheme as being illiberal, intrusive, ineffectual and wasteful.
Juvenile Crime
UKIP rejects the notion that we should "hug a hoodie", and would abolish the ineffective and token Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs)
UKIP regards the lack of youth centres and other outlets of legitimate activity as a problem which exacerbates the juvenile crime situation.
UKIP would give schools the choice of whether or not to use corporal punishment.
Police
UKIP would scrap the most time wasting forms, and keep red tape to a minimum.
Home Defence
UKIP would always support home owners who confront intruders.
The Criminal Justice System and Sentencing Policy.
UKIP proposes a "three strikes and you’re out" style option for sentencing repeat offenders.
UKIP opposes plea bargaining as a distortion of sentencing which sends the wrong messages
Referanda
For controversial public issues involving law and order that are outside party politics, UKIP will allow referenda to decide the issues. UKIP’s standard criteria is that 5% of the registered electorate must sign a petition within a 6 month national time limit.
Thought Crime and Hate Speech
UKIP supports freedom of speech. All view points should be heard provided they do not call for crime, violence or the overthrow of democracy.
Prisons Policy
Prison regimes will be tougher and good behaviour rewarded with special treatment, not taken as a human right or expected as a matter of course.
Rehabilitation courses would be encouraged in prisons, and released prisoners offered immediate assistance with suitable "workfare" schemes on leaving prison.
Miscellaneous
UKIP is deeply concerned at the number of local pubs, a national institution, that are closing.
UKIP would replace the smoking ban with legislation requiring premises owners to provide smoke free areas and/or dedicated internal smoking areas. If not possible, the premises would have to be designated all "non smoking" or "all smoking" and advertise this prominently outside.
Next Newsletter will be posted in October-

On a lighter note
you might think from my blog that I'am in some xenophobic or anti European-well sorry to dissapoint.
One of my other major interests in life is football and detailed below is an incredible story of hands across the water.
Fans supporting each other-shock
In this cynical world I thought it only right to share a good news story concerning the beautiful game, affordable football and Italian fans singing a Beach Boys song in tribute to a bunch of Mancunian Rebels.
How did this crazy event come about –well around a year or 18 months ago for reasons varied, fans of FC United started singing Sloop John B at the their games and it has grown into perhaps the favourite amongst our popular reportoire of twenty odd songs.
One of our number under the pseudonym of fcumpassion posted us singing this at a highly charged cup game on youtube-now seen by nearly 42,000 people-amongst them late last season a particularly off the wall and frankly bonkers group of Torino fans.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j941psnNiAI
So next thing –the Torino fans find the FC United fans website and open up a dialogue with us, apart from a couple of negative comments the vibe between the 2 sets of fans is brilliant, they really get where we are coming from and back fully our uncompromising alternative to mainstream football.
http://fcumforum.org.uk/mainforum/viewtopic.php?t=87568&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=torino&start=0
We have now organised a large flag to present to the Torino fans when we get together to help further cement our relationship.
http://fcumforum.org.uk/mainforum/viewtopic.php?t=88017&highlight=torino+flag
And finally the most impressive part of this whole story for me is a video put together by the pazzo bus crew in Italy in tribute to our club-be sure to watch it all the way through and you will see how the whole end at one of their last games of the season joined in. The little rubber dinghy is a reference to our first ever game against Leigh RMI in 2005 when for no good reason we had a similar rubber dinghy bouncing around our end. Watch and enjoy and please use the unique power you hold to spread a genuine good news story in a scary and cynical world-yours Rick/politico—

EU Reaction to the Irish vote
For your information this is a video clip of various politicians reacting to the Irish vote
http://www.ukip.org/ukip/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=207&Itemid=64

no means no
No means No
Once again the contempt with which the political elite hold the citizens of Europe has been demonstrated by their reaction to the NO vote in Ireland.
For how much longer can the masquerade of a "Democratic " European Commission and Parliament be allowed to claim it represents the will of the many diverse people’s of Europe. Any long term observer of the machinations of the E.U knows exactly how they will play for time following the nuisance of the population of a member state actually being allowed a say in it’s own future.
The very clever but devious elite that drive the EU will simply allow the subject to drop off from the news headlines around Europe and then try and find a tactic or loophole to navigate a route around the Irish decision.
The EU is a morally bankrupt dream of a previous generation of self serving Eurocrats.
The EU is undemocratic, expensive and damaging to the economies of it’s own members and much of the Third World, in short it does not serve the citizens of Europe well. Throughout history every empire has expanded so far that it starts to collapse from the inside, and I believe the cracks are starting to show in Brussels.
The initial mandate actually voted for in 1975 was to simply be a "Common Market" instead it has been rail roaded into a political superstate with no popular mandate from the hard working and much ignored population.
As the UKIP Parliamentary Candidate for Cheadle I intend to do all I can to offer the electorate the choice they deserve at the next election. It is time to send a clear message that enough is enough from the political elite, the citizens who they claim to represent do not wish to see the destruction of the Nation states, so it is time to think again on Europe.
This experiment is now 50 years old and it has now run it’s course-Democracy works best when political institutions are close to the people and can react quickly to changing world circumstances. Instead the EU is remote and sluggish but worse it treats what were once Sovereign nation states with contempt and disdain-If the EU is to salvage any credibility, they must now learn-No means No!

How to let you know what's going on.
As a relatively small political party one of our main challenges is finding effective ways to get our policies and beliefs across to you the public.
In the ideal world an independent media would happily report all initiatives in an even handed manner. But we don't live in Eutopia we live in Europa and the Guardian Media Group are not naturally receptive to our message.
So at my own expense I intend in the next couple of weeks to post our party leaflets around the Cheadle Parliamentary Constituency in NewsagentS, Post Offices etc.
Hopefully through this route you will find your way to this blog and let me have your comments.

Poynton Tesco
We had a local council meeting last week to consider the building of a new Tesco In Poynton.
This development is not wanted and not needed- of 15,000 people living in Poynton more than 7,000 have signed a petition to that effect which when you subtract 3-4,000 children means the majority are clearly opposed.
The Parish Council duly voted against the development but let us see how this plays out-most people in the village are resigned to the fact that Tesco cash will fight this all the way and win through-so Tesco have the best democracy money can buy!!!

2 million new homes
The House of Lords are today hearing that 2 million new homes will need to be built in the next 20 years to house migrants to the UK.
How can this make sense for any of the parties involved.
UKIP's position on migration is a sensible but firm one that we must initiate a five year net freeze on immigration.
After that migration from both inside and outside the EU should be managed according to the countries needs.
Failure to do this risks social cohesion.
No other party has any real policy because they do as they are told on immigration by the E.U which with the new treaty in place is in charge of this key policy area!
What are we going to do -where are these people who understandably want to make a better life for themselves going to live.
Ask your MP.
