UKIP defector told he could be welcomed back to Leicestershire's Tories.

“Lamech: another Sprason sock puppet who only ever posts on Sprason subjects?”

“Lamech: another Sprason sock puppet?”

“Historically I have never subscribed to the views on one political party, because from time to time they all seem to change colours (New labour etc). But recently UKIP have hit the sweet spot. There are big issues facing this country and all three of the established parties have been caught like a rabbit in the headlights. Politics is getting interesting again because the fossils at Westminster have competition at long last. There are folk who will vote for the same old party regardless of how out of touch they really are but the age of the Political Dinosaurs is coming to an end. I can't wait to see what happens in the forthcoming elections. UKIP may not win anything but they are at least going to give the other parties a well deserved bloody nose and whatever you think it will influence party manifestoes in the future. The EU is dying, Greece, Italy, Cyprus and Ireland are showing that. Immigration is about to spiral out of control with new EU members about to flood across our borders. Our energy policy is about to plunge us back into the dark ages with power shortages and escalating fuel costs. That's the good news and only if we survive the spiralling national debt situation without bankruptcy.”

“Thursday 21 March 2013. Quote from Business Secretary and Cabinet member Vince Cable commenting on migration. "We have no control over the EU and that is where much of the movement (immigrants from the EU to UK) comes".

UKIP a sngle issue party? Don't make me laugh. Our membership of the EU means we are powerless to stop EU nationals coming here. This affects every aspect of our lives to the detriment of everybody, to name just a few:-

Housing, Jobs, NHS, Transport, Welfare costs, Education, Law and Order, chuck in things like the Human Rights Act whch gives criminals more rights than us law abiding citizens, the Europeon Court which overules our British laws and you have just a few of the issues for starters.

Getting out of the EU is only the first step on the road to putting the Great back into Great Britain and saving billions of pounds in the process. Only UKIP are promising to do this so get real you people with closed minds. Think it through and you know it makes sense, just like Vince Cable says," We have no control over the EU". What he did not say is WE are controlled by the EU!”

“Hmm.

UKIP - a single issue protest party ("The EU is evil")
Tory - a single issue mainstream party ("trickle up and return to the Poor Laws")”

“I think their Leader David Cameron said it all the other day; our fight is with labour. I thought the fight was to try and save this country not silly name calling. Lets hope UKIP do well and frighten the life out of MPS in their safe seats.Good luck Councillor Sprason stand your ground.”

“You do get the feeling of impending Tory doom at the hands of UKIP voters. Maybe its time the party got its head out of the sand.”

“Just another thought -when this saga was first leaked wasn't Nicholas 'the snake in the grass' Rushton quoted in this very paper as saying that "Sprasons political career was over" well it would be if he went back !!!!!”

“Yet another arrogant statement from Planet Rushton! Is he for real!!!! I would have thought the stab marks in cllr Sprasons back are still healing thanks to Rushton and his sneeky colleagues and he thinks he can just click his fingers and Sprason will come crawling back.What sort of man do you think this would make him asking him to cross the floor again-This is politics Rushton NOT STRICTLY COME DANCING!!! Stay were you are Sprason lets hope UKIP doesn't get the knives out when you prove you're too good at your job and more popular than your leader!”

“Not a chance Nick!

Too late to offer the political hand of friendship having ostracised Cllr Sprason. David clearly sensed that his political future lay in leading UKIP post May's elections, when he would have more influence, following the Tories routing.

Good luck to Cllr Sprason, you never know Nick, you might need David's party's support if you get the electoral grubbing that is anticipated.”
