Perhaps Britain needs a Tea Party too?

Britain’s economy stutters along in recession or near recession.

Our Government’s debt spirals out of control.

Our leaders argue over whether to spend more money we don’t have on one thing or another.

Our central bank prints billions in a frantic and desperate attempt to stem the collapse of our financial system.

Ordinary folk see more and more of their cash taken in taxes.

What little cash the Government lets us keep is eaten up by inflation

It really is a mess. And there’s precious little evidence of anyone campaigning to get things sorted out. What Britain needs is a party that believes in opposing excessive government spending and taxation. A Tea Party that believes in:


Fiscal Responsibility: Fiscal Responsibility by government honours and respects the freedom of the individual to spend the money that is the fruit of their own labour.

Constitutionally Limited Government: As the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, in all other matters we support the personal liberty of the individual, within the rule of law.

Free Markets: A free market is the economic consequence of personal liberty.


It seems we need to protest – to stand up and say to those lording themselves above us, squandering our cash on their personal prejudice and funding their petty squabbles: “that’s enough, can we have our country back now? Can we have more modest, more accountable government? Can we have our own money to spend? Can we make our own mistakes and live our own lives free from your interference?

I’ve never marched, never protested, seldom sign petitions. But I’ll protest for this. I’ll march. Might there be others?
