So, what would MP Bob Spink do about the Credit Crunch?

The following email has been sent out by the UKIP MP, Dr Bob Spink:

Dear Friends,

My speech at the Counting House in the City last
night went very well and it provoked a very big response. About 100 supportive
and two against, basically asking 'so what are you proposing to do about it?' a
fair question, let me offer a very brief answer.

It is clear that the
'Credit Crunch' is a terrible situation and many people have not yet understood
how deeply it will affect them for some years to come.

So what can we do
about it? There is much, but let me cover just a few policy areas I have
consistently fought on:
  • I have long been campaigning for the Tories (who criticise Labour but refuse
    to scrap it themselves!), and for Labour, to undertake to scrap the AVC £5.5
    billion annual additional tax on pension funds that G Brown instigated in 1997
    Known as: 'The Great Pensions Robbery'.
  • And I've fought for tougher Bank of England regulation, independence and
    powers, and for Parliament to have more powers to control the executive: (THE
    WHIP!) (which both Tories and labour oppose).
  • For return to the trading relationship with the EU that was voted for by
    British people in the 1975 referendum, releasing more than £15 billion annually
    and freeing the UK to do more business, on fairer terms with the rest of the
    world.
  • And to stop the uncontrolled immigration and I set out below my comments on
    this at the Party Conference this year. From these comments you will see that it
    is economically and morally stupid for the UK to pay people to remain on
    benefits, while importing hundreds of thousands of workers from abroad. We
    should train and help our own, although some may feel I go too far in saying
    this so plainly.

Very best wishes

Bob
