NEWS RELEASE


Libertarian Party fields
youngest ever parliamentary candidate
at Norwich North


Thomas Burridge, aged 18, is the Libertarian Party candidate for the upcoming Norwich North by-election, and is set to make history as the youngest person ever to contest a Westminster seat. Thomas was accepted offically by the Returning Officer today.

Thomas is aware that his age may raise a few eyebrows. “People may ask what can I possibly know about anything at my age? Well, one thing I do know is that Labour excesses have left my generation with a massive debt that will take generations to pay off.” “It’s all the more painful because we were not given any say in the decisions that have forced us to spend the rest of our lives in debt.”

“Currently, the Tories and Labour are squabbling about cutting state spending by a pathetic 5 per cent. Whereas, the Libertarian Party want to scrap the whole rotten system. A system that has given us high personal taxes, squalid services and a corrupt parliament.” “I may not win this time, but I will be back in five years, and in another five years, if necessary. By which time, the guilty ones will be wallowing in their generous pensions – while my generation – The Debt Generation – will still be paying back the money that was squandered.”

The Libertarian Party believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility and freedom from government. Its most prominent policy is to scrap income tax, and transfer taxes to non-essential goods, leaving items such as food, heating and rent tax-free.

A Vision of the Future

There will be no parliament at Westminster, all elections will be for local or European elections.

The Houses of Parliament will be turned into a museum.

There will be no prime minister anymore

Our regional overlord will be Lord Mandelson

The regime will be that of a police state

Is this what Britain wants?

Is it what you want?

If not then dont vote for the main three parties because they have signed up to this vision and are hell bent on making it happen.

Is this the legacy you want to give to your children?

We Still Need Your Donations

This Darien Government is now in freefall, an Election is sooner rather than later. We are hoping to put ten candidates forward in the South-East alone, and other are throwing their name in the ring.

The widget is now up and running on the blogs showing monies received since the appeal ten days ago.

We can only repeat the appeal for whatever you can spare.

Last year we set up a pledge bank in case of an Election. We would like to go down the same route again. The pledge will be called in on the morning that the GE is called.

The Slow Collapse Of The Labour Years

So Speaker Martin has gone. There is much talk of this being a historical moment, it is nothing of the sort, it is just another limb falling of a rotting corpse that is the decaying version of Parliamentary Democracy as practised in this country.

Even now the pundits are placing bets on who is going to be the next speaker, like it is some bloody game of cricket. The edifice the is the 'Rotten Parliament' is giving way under grass roots pressure for sackings, jailing (and worse) and a new political settlement.

Whilst the current crop of bloated pigeons strut around their gilded cage huffing and puffing about the dignity of Parliament, outside the cage is a cold wind blowing. The anger of the electorate.

Also there are the hungry cats of the independents and minor parties watching and waiting.

If Cameron thinks he is going to run this country as a shoe in, with a 'faux' landslide he should start thinking again.

We want a bonfire of Laws- not Green Blue State Conservatisim. Carswell and Hannan have been the most impressive politicians in the last three months, Cameron weak and unprincipled

We want less Government, abolition of Quangos, Simple and Less Tax,fewer MPS,elected Chief Constables, Impeachment of Blair for lying to Parliament and dragging us into a wrongful war, the shopping list is huge, but above all accountability.

Brown's days are now numbered in weeks

Taking the Shirt off your back Campaign

Its started off on Old Holborn's site Don't just sit there and accept this crap budget designed to bail out this corrupt Government and its Banker friends.

Dig out that old shirt and send it to 10 Downing Street with a note of what you really think of this budget- let us know that you have done it on 1984@lpuk.org
