Fortunately for us Harry, its only people with two Brain cells that will vote for the phony party called UKIP.
Well, I’ll tell you what, if you want all remaining cabotage restrictions to be removed, and for the British domestic haulage industry to go the same way as the British continental haulage industry, you just get yourself down to that ballot box on 5th May and vote Labour or Conservative, they’ll see you right. You carry on voting for this.
have ukip said they will keep the cabotage rules have they actually thought that far
Assuming we’re out of the EU,how could any EU ruling,concerning the lifting of cabotage restrictions,throughout the EU,possibly be imposed or justified in a non EU country in that case.UKIP obviously doesn’t think that it needs to spell out the bleedin obvious concerning all the implications of dumping the EU to its,obviously brighter than LabLibdemCon,supporters.
I wondered how long it would take the Soap Box ( alias Carryfast ) to appear with a massive tirade of Verbal Diarrhoea, if I had required a comment from a less than bright individual then I would have asked for your opinion, but as you appear to be quoting from the carryfast book of Twaddle then your opinion is as welcome as a dose of the clap. Oh and by the way there is only one Party offering a referendum on leaving the EU, and giving the people the right to choose or are you quite happy for the Farrage band wagon to make that decision for you, a failed Merchant Banker ( yes he was one of those naughty Bankers who was that bad he Failed ) says an awful lot for your judgment Matey.,.
I would still rather someone new had a try opposed to the normal bunch who have screwed this country up systematically with their take on what is needed to make us ‘great’ again.
as for racists etc. I still cant see how you can tar a whole political movement because they disagree with immigration and an open door policy. conservatives have only mentioned a referendum so they can be seen to be listening, and lets be honest Cameron will bow down to Europe no matter what.

Soon changed her tune when the first thing the insurance company said was ‘don’t hold out much hope for your excess as we don’t have much success recovering the money from foreign lorries’’
She ain’t happy.
and the moral of the story is “don’t choose a crap insurance company” even if the foreign lorry doesn’t have any insurance, the national insurance fund of the country of origin of the respective lorry will pay out the damages and then go after the culprit themselves. all your sister had to do was to contact her own insurer and that should be the end of that.
having said that, in my 9 years of international driving, I’ve dented two foreign cars and was dented by one myself. the only occasion I got off free was when I bent the fender on a merc convertible dismebarking from the ferry from albania in bari. the thing is your regular insurance doesn’t matter when aboard an international ferry and I knew it, the other guy didn’t.
It works both ways of course. I hit a car in Belgium once who was sitting in just the wrong place. When we both pulled on to the hard shoulder, the driver and his mate, and their two wives got out and I thought they were about to lay in to me, but upon seeing I was a RHD truck, the driver apologised for sitting in my blind spot, they all shook my hand and wished me a pleasant onward journey to Germany! Obviously I was in the wrong and we sorted it out via insurance and I didn’t hear anything else about it. Even the Belgian police who were on the scene in seconds didn’t have much to say except for us to both follow them to the next layby a few km’s down the road.
I have to say one of the very best things about driving a bonneted truck over here are the hood mirrors that practically abolish any sort of blind spot, which is a good thing as there is absolutely no lane discipline in North America and many cars will often attempt a reckless undertaking maneuver even if the proper over taking lane is free of any traffic.

I would still rather someone new had a try .
Alas as I pointed out previously they’re isn’t really much ‘new’ about UKIP. It’s just a bunch of politicians that have been politicians for a long time doing what they’ve always done. I dream of the day a genuinely new and exciting party comes along, or someone inspirational and exciting transforms an existing party but sadly in my opinion that looks as far off now as it ever has

A big + one on that, We really do need a genuine inspirational leader, to come on the scene and at the moment it does not exist.

I am sure the last one we had was tony blair and that didn’t work very well did it!
a new party is really whats needed with new ideas not tories trying to be a bit labour, labour trying to be a bit tory, lib dem trying whatever.
He’s probably busy elsewhere watching youtube videos about Australian road trains and thinking how the UK would benefit for them, or perhaps he’s penning that latter to the US department of transport about the merits of refitting the entire industry here with A frame drawbars.
At the risk of focussing this intense political discussion back towards the original point of this thread…
When on the Motorway / Dual Carriageway, always treat the space to the side of a lorry like a box junction. If you can’t get out the other side - don’t go in. Always worked for me.

Would that be the same party that said its war against the motorist was over or that it wouldn’t concrete over the south east to provide yet more housing for yet more immigrants.Let alone anything having changed in it being the same bunch of exploitative federalists that took us into the scam and continues to impose EU directives to the letter.
Make no mistake either we take our country back in the form of a UKIP and non Cameron led Conservative anti EU alliance or the LabLibDemConSNP socialist/cheap labour alliance can have the place.
