This week our podcast takes the form of a report from the UKIP Spring Conference in Llandudno in North Wales. We managed to grab a chat with lots of people behind the scenes – including MEPs, party activists, researchers, representatives of both Vote Leave and GO! as well as some folks from think tanks. A very busy time. The report starts with yours truly on the seafront at Llandudno about to go into the conference.
As ever with recordings made a busy events such as political conferences there is a bit of background noise in places, so my apologies for that.
That’s it for this week. Don’t forget that you can learn more about this campaign on our website www.BetterOffOut.net. We are also on Facebook and Twitter and we have our own YouTube Channel as well.
This week our podcast comes from the Grassroots Out Campaign Rally that was held in Westminster on 19 February. Close on 2,000 people packed into the Queen Elizabeth Hall to listen. It was a thrilling event with a magnetic atmosphere
The first speaker was David Campbell-Bannerman, Conservative MEP for East Anglia.
Next up was Bill Cash, Conservative MP for Stone. A veteran of the Eurosceptic cause.
Gerard Batten was on next. He is UKIP MEP for London and one of the more thoughtful speakers of the evening. And the most amusing.
Kate Hoey is Labour MP for Vauxhall and a key figure in Labour Leave.
Tom Pursglove is the youngest Conservative MP. He brings a youthful look to the campaign.
That’s it for this week. Don’t forget that you can learn more about this campaign on our website www.BetterOffOut.net. We are also on Facebook and Twitter and we have our own YouTube Channel as well.
Tune in next week for Part 2 with David Davis, John Boyd, Ruth Lea, Nigel Farage and George Galloway.
Last week our podcast took the form of a report from the London European Referendum Conference, organised by Gerard Batten MEP (UKIP).
This week we return to that conference for two special pieces. The first is a talk to Cllr Lawrence Webb of UKIP. The second is the full speech by Tim Congdon, one of the most intelligent of the economists working for Brexit.
First Cllr Lawrence Webb.
And second the speech by Tim Congdon, delivered to a packed hall at the Abbey Centre.
This week our podcast takes the form of a report from the London European Referendum Conference, organised by Gerard Batten MEP (UKIP). This event was held at the Abbey Centre in Westminster and was attended by over 200 people, all of whom had come to discuss the Brexit campaign in London.
What follows is a report that I put together which includes interviews with some of those taking part as well as the speech that I gave to the Conference. We start in the street outside as I introduce the event.
That’s it for this week. Don’t forget that you can learn more about this campaign on our website www.BetterOffOut.net. We are also on Facebook and Twitter and we have our own YouTube Channel as well.
This month Better Off Out is running a campaign focussing on the disastrous Common Fisheries Policy of the European Union. So for the second week we are looking at the damage done to Britain’s marine environment and to our fishing industry. We also explain how the situation would be improved if we left the European Union and regained control over our coastal and territorial waters.
For this podcast Rupert Matthews travelled down to Cornwall to speak to those working in the fishing and related industries. The singing you can hear is by the boys in the Newquay Rowing Club.

Spanish Subsidies Scandal – Penzance
We start with a piece about the Spanish Subsidies Scandal. This piece was recorded on the quayside at Penzance fishing harbour, so apologies for a bit of background noise.
Dave Hicks, Newlyn
We move to Newlyn for an interview with Dave Hicks, a local fisherman. Again we were talking in the harbour so there is some background noise, for which apologies.
The EU and the Decline of UK Fishing Industry
We take an overall look at the decline of the UK fishing industry under the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy.
Newquay Fishermen meeting with Ray Fitch
We close in Newquay where we attend a public meeting held by Ray Finch MEP, UKIP’s fisheries spokesmen where he was meeting with local inshore fishermen.
