CATHERINE Fookes, Monmouth Labour Party candidate for the Welsh Assembly in last week’s Review says how excited she is now that Jeremy Corbyn has become her leader.

She ends her letter by rattling off a selection of UKIP policies with

which she wholeheartedly agrees, but assumes that somehow the Labour Party would be able to bring such policies into fruition.

But the Labour Party, who piled all our money into the banks the very people who needed it least did nothing to safeguard the Rover car company nor its employees; and caused the recession by its staggering incompetence, is the last party on whom the electorate can depend on to secure the efficient government of this country.

What we need in the United Kingdom is a parliamentary political party propagating proper policies of power, prosperity, peace, prestige and patriotism.

For we cannot have power without prosperity, we cannot have prosperity without peace, and we cannot have peace without power.

Having Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party is like putting Lucrezia Borgia in charge of the medicine cupboard.

He would poison everything he touched and within two years the country would be without defence, without influence and bankrupt.

In the last leadership election, the members voted for one Milliband, the trade unions decided on another Milliband and the Labour Party let it happen.

I wonder if something similar didn’t happen this time.

If they can’t run their own party properly, how could they ever hope to govern a country?

Catherine Fookes would do well to remember that next time she descends into a state of bewilderment and confusion over politics.

She should seek advice from UKIP.
