Fishing, factories etc. Then renewables arrived in the guise of off-shore wind turbines. Not my favorite way of making electricity but hey..<br />UKIP opposed renewables but I stood up in the council chamber and supported the industry because it offered jobs to the area. Yes I received a loud response of laughter and jeers. I did point out that we had two oil refineries that they would close but would support the renewables. I did such a good job that the next time we were ambushed on the subject I repeated the medicine and even the Labour leader asked why we were debating the issue. Farage rolls into town to support the Grimsby candidate and declared an opposition to the renewable industry. Stupid. Take that away and we are a third world town.

Next time zilch elected.Eric Edmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661176160109187800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112651969466158066.post-738190121875653552017-08-17T12:13:30.169-07:002017-08-17T12:13:30.169-07:00I had better not give my opinion of UKIP on the No...I had better not give my opinion of UKIP on the North Bank of the Humber. In our patch of North East Lincolnshire, we reached a zenith of nine councillors. The UKIP councillor bereft north bank of the Humber never once asked us how we had achieved this. Of course they were jealous and always knew better than us, split our branch and kicked us into oblivion and the MEPs failed to uphold behaviour becoming of the position.

Farage had got rid of most of the decent ones.Eric Edmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661176160109187800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6112651969466158066.post-50318139706677472662017-08-17T11:02:44.862-07:002017-08-17T11:02:44.862-07:00In truth Jane Collins was foolhardy to deliver her...In truth Jane Collins was foolhardy to deliver her conference speech as she did. I was there and thought straight away I thought hope you have proof. The gamble failed as she did not become the Rotherham MP. The game Labour are playing will not last forever before they are rumbled. Any decent prospective PM would have destroyed Corbyn in the last GE but May failed to deliver any blows and failed to attend the televised hustings after calling the election. That said Labour are a as loyal a political party as can be found and rally the troops when it matters. Trump finds it difficult to blame both sides but Corbyn makes an art form of it. It will not last. Stephen Harnessnoreply@blogger.com
