In the interest of Political
Balance – I have found a few UKIP policies I actually like. They are mostly
related to Trains and Beer – but none the less, Imagine being able to go all
the way round the Circle Line to catch a Great Western Pullman Train, sitting
in the Buffet Car supping a good old British Pint whilst pulling out of
Paddington Station – Glorious.
"Ukip will return
London's Circle line to a circle
"Ukip will encourage
a return to the glamour, grace and style of the railway companies of the past
through its railway policies. Ukip seeks a return to 'Pullman' trains, with
appropriate branding such as 'Great Western Railway', one of the most
successful British brands ever."
“the government should
insist on a modernised form of traditional branding – chocolate and cream for Great
Western, scarlet red for Midland, apple green for the east coast. These are
icons of Britishness."
"Ukip would restore
imperial measures for all weights and measures, restoring the crown symbol on
pint glasses
"Ukip would cut duty
and taxes on traditional draught beers such as real ale, ciders and some
lagers. Ukip would also allow landlords to write off against tax promotional
costs for traditional beers through pub posters, beer mats and giveaways.
