Britain has become like a company that has expanded beyond it's capabilities in trying to act as a World Policeman and benefactor. Is it now time, purely for the benefit of the British people to withdraw all foreign aid and armed presence in other Countries, kick out all those who shouldn't be here and become completely self sufficient, but maintaining a strong home defence force?

Alex McKee

As long as it doesn't end up in a state of isolationism, yes.

I would want us to continue to trade in non essentials and to visit other Countries and they visit us!

Smidgey

Troops and aid? Yes. Trade and repatriation? No.

Are we speaking about Neutrality here because that is the best way to go IMHO?

kernow

Yes and no! Yes we stay neutral, No we don't become the safe harbour for the Worlds dross, we're doing that already!

Hartlepool

Thats good,I agree with that.

I put up a Neutrality thread last year but nobody wanted it or they just dissed the idea.

Maybe I should search it out and put it up again?

Populist Lee

That makes perfect sense.

Now tell us.
Why do you support UKIP?

POPULISM MEANS WHAT YOU WANT IS WHAT YOU GET

Internationalist

It sounds like isolationism to me - not only non-interventionism but the idea of becoming almost completely self-sufficient.

Sorry kernow but I disagree with you on all of your main points about 'withdrawal'.

Alex McKee

Quite. However I fully believe you can become self-sufficient - by which I mean in essentials: food, water, power & medicine - without becoming isolationist.

Non-interventionism is also a perfectly fine approach to world problems. I think you disagree with me on this but I don't think that our intervention in the world's ticking time bombs has defused them.

As Smidgey says above: troops and aid: yes, trade and repatriation: no. International trade, esp. free trade, is a fundamentally good thing. As I've made clear elsewhere, repatriation in it's usual sense bothers me but I don't think Kernow was advocating that "we send 'home' all the 'blacks'". Rather I think he meant removal of illegal immigrants.
