Lord Pearson in The Express
Tuesday, 16th March 2010
UKIP Leader Lord Pearson challenged the leaders of the other political parties to address the real issues that matter during the election campaign in the following piece penned for today's Daily Express...
INDULGE me for a moment. Imagine an election campaign that actually talked about the things that really concern the British people rather than what the wives of the party leaders think about their husbands. What are the issues that should be tackled? What should the election be about?
I ask because this election will not be about the issues that really concern us: mass immigration, massive waste in the public services, crime, the European Union and our very democracy. These things will be avoided like the plague.
Why is this? Why is there no straight talking from those who fill our TV screens?
