In three months the UK will contest a general election. Wow! Can you feel the tension build… Zzzzzzzz.
Three months out from November of 2008, US candidate Barack Obama spoke before 85,000 people at the Democratic National Convention’s outdoor football stadium. Here? The three parties reluctantly and finally agreed to their set of televised [...]

By Denis Campbell
The ultra racist British National Party (only native born white Brits can become party members), had an Adolph Hitler in the 1930’s moment and captured two European Parliamentary seats (a body they wish to see destroyed but whatever means needed) for the first time ever in UK-wide elections.
Geert Wilders far right Dutch nationalist [...]
The Radioactive City Convention Hall

Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airpo
While the Democrats have planned a Rocky Mountain high for Denver (that is if the Clinton’s stop thinking everything is always about them and come back to the reality of planet earth), those heading to the Republican convention in Minneapolis (or is it St. Paul?) have been jumping ship like proverbial rats.
Senator Pat Roberts of [...]

You promised a clean campaign. You pledged to bring honour and dignity to the campaign trail. You wanted the campaign to be about real issues facing real people.
Is it because you ran a dignified campaign in ’00 and were brutally blind-sided by the thugs running the Bush/Rove/Cheney campaign? Does your party honestly believe this will [...]
Perception, Terrorism and Race

In America’s heartland, anything that paints Barack Obama as (place your fear mongering adjective here) passes as “God’s honest truth” even when proven a lie. MSNBC reported yesterday, “Gerri Kish, (is) 66-year-old (and) born in Hawaii, read both of Obama’s autobiographies. She has close friends, she said, who still refuse to believe her when she [...]

It has been a silly-season weekend where Senator McCain and poor, sloppy national reporting made a non flip-flop from Barack Obama the weekend lead attack and pushed Senator McCain’s own acceptance of $69,100 in funds from the same Swift Boat group that smeared John Kerry in 2004 and which he denounced disappear from the headlines.

When will the Dems learn to that bringing a knife to gun fight is not very smart? When will they learn to play the refs better (the media) for the free ride John McCain continues to get whilst Obama supports the FISA bill only to catch the corporate thieves in criminal liability when elected and [...]

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.
