2015 UK general election round up rodeo
“Nigel Farage has called for the mass sacking from the National Health Service of doctors and nurses who do not have a good command of the English language.”
And be able to sing the Dad’s Army theme. But as with much that the “say what you want to hear party” proposes, he gives no real practical solution to how the NHS manages with the three doctors and dozen nurses remaining; indeed, perhaps hoping that he’s abroad on his MEP duties when taken ill himself.
With the crisis engulfing the NHS having South Central Ambulance Service, which covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire desperately looking to Poland to recruit paramedics to fill more than 200 posts only last month (express.co.uk) one may ask if as well as a coalition with whatever party fails to get a majority in the forthcoming election UKIP will be advocating a partnership with Boris Bikes to get the sick and injured to Trumpton General.
Has UKIP voiced a plan to tempt the young and soon to be unemployed without benefits to fast track train in these much needed employment sectors? No?

Nigel Farage gives up BEER for January admitting: “I need a break” (dailymail.co.uk).
“Mr Farage has previously argued that the works so hard as an MEP in Brussels that he is ‘entitled’ to a lunchtime pint.”
And who’s to say he isn’t, but perhaps reminiscently “entitled” to his beer in the same way as the railway-trackman-made-king archetypal UKIP supporter is to his.
Maybe MEP stress, I mean, those Belgies can put you through it with all their one size banana for all, but it could also be Nigel setting a good example, in relation to his call for the NHS to be “winnowed-out” so that your doctor can sing the Pugh, Pugh, Barney Mcgrew Trumpton call with you, to help curb the 8-10% of GP consultations in which alcohol is a factor in the UK every day (theguardian.com), costing the NHS and the justice system about £25bn every year. With UKIP claiming in its manifesto in the past that it would prohibit those on benefits from spending it on alcohol, we might all be better off if Nigel and non-alcoholic but heavy boozing UKIP supporting railway-trackmen joined them too. Or of course it could just be Nigel setting an example that appeals to the “common man” and likely take it about as seriously too.
Yep, it’s musical break time.
