I decided to take the plunge, I have toyed with the idea of writing a Blog for quite some time because I often feel the need to comment on the news but don't think that Facebook is the right vehicle and I have yet to find anything interesting about Twitter; having said that I have noticed that tweets do seem to get through to news organisations rather more readily than other input.
I don't have a smart phone or a tablet and I don't want to sit and watch the news with my laptop ready to send tweets so I thought Blogging might be the best for me.
Today I have been watching the coverage of the UKIP party conference, we have not been shown much of the actual content but we do now know that a senior UKIP member who is also an MEP has called a roomful of party ladies sluts, this was apparently said in jest but of course it is now the most significant piece of news coming out of the conference.
What a pity, I think the party has quite a lot to offer and some of their policies are very appealing to me and, I am sure, to many other Brits and it could well be that, come election time, the parties that finally form a government will have had to modify their policies quite considerably because of UKIP.
