UKIP are gaining ground, fast!

I wonder what the next round between Clegg and Farage will determine and hey, the EU Elections are coming soon and UKIP is expected to wipe the floor with them all!

C'mon UKIP and well done Nigel Farage for being 'normal' allowing the people to relate to you and your thinking.

Neil,

       Nice to read of life in Spain, it sure puts the prices here into focus.

  The hospital treatment sounds excellent,the man who comes to our door with vegetables was in terrific pain yesterday,three doctors at his surgery were off sick so he had to go to A&E,who diagnosed gall stones and said he will need a scan,so he will now have to wait for a letter to tell him of his appointment for a scan,which will be probably a long time in the future,and then probably an appointment for treatment.

  At 67 I think I am past moving now,I many a time wish I had made a move when I was younger. 

Ron,

  One of Nigels "strengths" is being "normal",a person you can relate too.Clegg seems to forget the EU depend on us for their exports too.

  Anyhow how are you doing,feeling better I hope. 

George

Two years back I unfortunately caught facial shingles the doctors at the Costa del Sol Hospital thought I may lose the sight in my left eye

Once I was in the system the service was superb then they had me attending each day for 2 weeks for special eye drops, the tablets that they gave me were 110 euros for 7 tablets at one tablet per day which I had to take for 7 weeks.

The results are I have perfect vision in both eyes thanks to the staff at the Hospital I have no grumbles whatsoever with the Spanish health system. 

Just watched the debate and reckon UKIP's Nigel Farage beat Cleggy into several corners.

Well done Nigel Farage and Happy 50th Birthday tomorrow from all of us at POE.

I think the general consensus on the debate is that Nigel Farage came across realistically on the issues which most people feel have screwed up this country. He touched on the needless wars our leaders have embroiled us in, the problems of uncontrolled immigration, the destruction of job opportunities for our youngsters, the low wage economy, the snout-in-trough political elite lording it over us. etc  etc. 

Clegg, on the other hand, came across as arrogant, patronising and smug.
