ARE YOW GEWING TO BE IN THE LYNDON TOO?

‘It’s all gew’, as they say in my neck of the woods in Walsall, everything is piling in together. On Thursday 20th September things begin to happen in Birmingham Town Hall for UKIP, where many of the Party activists will arrive for our big UKIP shindig, the annual UKIP conference.

Thursday sees Party training events taking place for our UKIP activists and candidates, there is a meeting and dinner for people from the West Midlands business sector where they can learn how UKIP would support them, also in the Town Hall on the night there is a performance of Eurocrash the musical. All this before the conference proper has kicked off.

The following two days sees a fantastic line up of influential speakers such as senior economists Roger Bootle and Tim Congdon, the leader of the True Finns Party, Timo Soini, as well as Nigel Farage the leader of UKIP who is now acknowledged to be one of the UK’s best orators – what a fantastic few days UKIP members and their friends and guest are in for.

No sooner than it is all over and everyone heads off home, UKIP members will be hitting the streets full of vigour campaigning in the Police & Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections, Bill Etheridge from Dudley is our West Midlands PCC candidate.

Bill, who had been a Conservative activist, quit and joined the Dudley UKIP branch and has become a rising star in UKIP since, hence his selection as the UKIP candidate for this important election which is to be held on Thursday 15th November.

On Tuesday 2nd October Bill is, as they say locally, is ‘gewing’ to be in Walsall for a public meeting in the Lyndon House Hotel. Anyone wanting to know more about Bill, what he stands for in these elections and his policies for the police, once elected, can come along to the meeting and hear him speak as well as ask questions of him. The Lyndon House Hotel, which is my favourite watering hole in Walsall, serves a good pint of real ale as well as other drinks and is a great place to visit. So, as we say in our local dialect, are yow gewing to be in the Lyndon too in order to find out why you should not waste your vote on the Lib, Lab Con and vote wisely for UKIP instead?
