Paul St John Martin: Middle England Candidate: Isle of Wight 2010 Elections

VB asked each of the prospective parliamentary candidates to send us a 500 word manifesto to share with VB readers. What you read below is an unedited version of what we received from the candidate. Ed

Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Paul St John MartinImmigration: The Middle England Party will hold a period of nil immigration, stop the unfair benefits system which favours those from abroad, coach those who choose to live here to understand and live by our rules and customs. We will build a ‘multi racial society’ [not multi cultural -which has been an appalling mistake and a disaster for all] ‘One Nation. One Code of Conduct’.

Single Mothers-Perpetual Handouts: The Middle England Party will stop all benefit payments to mothers under the age of 18. The maximum number of claims is for 2.

There will be no other benefits. If you want to have babies – go ahead – but don’t ask the tax payer to fund them.

Law and Order & Human Rights: The Middle England Party will put back in place the Death Penalty. It is not right to ask the tax payer to keep the worst offenders in relative comfort when the families of those destroyed by their actions have no way of gaining closure as a result of the perpetrators’ behaviour. It is not about revenge, it’s about justice. If you abuse other people’s rights you relinquish your own.

We will also change the current sentencing system; e.g. 10 years means 10 years.

Education: The Middle England Party will stop all sex education for those under 12 and will ensure the right to discipline is given back to the teachers. Disruptive pupils will be withdrawn from their class and their parents held responsible for their actions. Respect, responsibility, courtesy and manners will be added to the curriculum and more emphasis will be placed on the original 3 ‘R’s’. Computers will not be seen as the replacement for inter -personal skills.

Family values: We believe the core strength of all communities comes from families taking responsibility for their actions, not relying on ‘State Intervention’. The elderly have the skills and experience to guide and coach the young; the young have the opportunity to learn from, and respect and care for the elderly. As capitalism continues to shrink, it is going to be even more vital that families and communities become the bedrock for our very survival.

The Banking System: It is not right for those who are in the business of ‘casino banking’ to bring the nation to its knees by ‘gambling’ with toxic debt in such a way that the tax payer picks up the tab when the ‘bets’ fail. The ‘gamblers’ then rebuild profits to make huge bonuses whilst sticking two fingers up to the people.

We will ‘split’ the banking operations so those who want to gamble do so at their own risk, not at the expense of others.

Europe: The Middle England party will withdraw from the ‘European Community’ in its present form. Our entire way of life is being undermined by unelected autocrats in Brussels and our current major political parties are unable or unwilling to stop this cancerous and insidious drain on our way of life.

Sounds like meaningless drivel to me, all of which we pay for to keep a bunch of fortunate people in jobs who don’t actually have to do anything to hit tangible self funding targets. It’s a worthy theory but I see little evidence that it makes anything like the impact that it should. I’d love to be proven wrong but I doubt there’s much to say other… Read more »

Tony Juniper!!? he’s got a nerve. Only recently he gave out a very mixed and confusing message about the virtue of developing green belt and farm land. A sort of covering my back message. Natural England advise developers how they can do this with so called mitigation. Natural England is a quango – a goverment funded body I haved just skimmed through the National Landscapes Document.. It… Read more »

I have experience of “rebranding” & the costs & other resources involved. Whilst the article lists some promising targets I’m not convinced that all of these, & more couldn’t have been achieved without the change of name. In addition I have some concerns about the inclusion of “producing more food” – hopefully this will be using sustainable methods. Unfortunately modern intensive farming has been extremely damaging to… Read more »

Re-branding, yes. Costly, yes. More grants for those farming there – great for them! But it also makes other areas of the Island feel left out. Along the north coast of the Island there is a RAMSAR site – named after the Iranian town of RAMSAR where the first convention on globally important wetlands was held in 1971. It’s GLOBAL, not just a national name and there… Read more »
