The odd thing that catches my fancy and the occasional rant
Ampers' Rants
Home
This is Ampers
Welcome to my blog
I write about an eclectic range of subjects, but mostly about politics so I thought it might be a good idea to explain where I am coming from. My present interests are Linux (I use Ubuntu), photography (I have downgraded from an DSLR to a Lumix TZ7) and modern technology.
I am a libertarian who believes in small government - preferably handling overseas matters and the army only. I prefer everything else to be carried out locally. Roads and buildings and the police by local government, and hospital, schools etc running themselves.
I do not vote for the three main parties as many of them have no real experience of commerce and are just out for what they can get. I have to vote so reluctantly vote for UKIP as I am totally against being run by an undemocratic EU. If MPs in marginal seats lose enough times because of the smaller UKIP vote, I hope the big parties will re-examine their approach to the EU.
You can email me on gmail you can easily work out my name! :-)
