POLITICS

MATTERS

Mike

FREER

MP

for Finchley & Golders Green

WILL THE REAL UKIP PLEASE STAND UP?

So UKIP win the second by-election caused by an MP deciding to change parties, his policies and his views. Constituents are rightly confused when an MP spends their political life arguing for one policy only to say the same policy would be a disaster once they have been re-elected under the new flag of convenience.

It could be argued, not unreasonably, that any MP in one of the big parties has to subsume their doubts about aspects of a particular policy because they support the ‘big picture’.

The sum is greater than the parts they disagree with. Fair enough. That doesn’t really stack up when the policy is hyper-local and a policy on which the MP has a complete free hand. So when an MP flying the blue flag says I support this development of new homes in my local neighbourhood and then opposes it when the MP is under the purple flag; it’s no wonder people get disillusioned.

Yet we see this flip-flopping of views by UKIP not just in local constituencies, but nationally too. In the south UKIP are arch deficit reducers, benefit reformers and privatisers of the NHS. In the North of England, they campaign to protect benefits (and so deficit reduction goes out of the window) and oppose any modernisation of the NHS. This marks them out as the new LibDems, a party renowned for saying different things in different parts of the country. Undoubtedly some UKIP supporters are ardent anti-EU, others simply are using UKIP as the new party to use for their protest vote. Business as usual then.

However, there is a dangerous underbelly to UKIP that people may not have spotted. We can ignore the flip-flopping on policy - I’m more worried about the unpleasant racism that lurks beneath the surface. The formal alliance between UKIP and the Polish KNP party should make any decent voter recoil. The KNP are racists and Holocaust deniers. In July, KNP leader Janus Korwin-Mikke called for the abolition of the minimum wage in Britain by claiming that “four million n****rs” lost their jobs after John F Kennedy introduced a US national minimum wage in 1961.

He also claimed Adolf Hitler “was probably not aware that the Jews were being exterminated”.

The KNP are so extreme that, it’s reported that even Marine Le Pen, the leader of the French BNP, refused to form an alliance with them. Make no mistake, this isn’t just a vague grouping of MEPs getting together and agreeing to rub along, to co-operate with each other. UKIP have confirmed they actively courted the party.

When he won his seat in the recent Clacton by-election, Douglas Carswell gave a speech in which he said “We must be a party for all Britain and all Britons, first and second generation as much as every other.” Yet, Mark Reckless – the latest MP under the UKIP flag of convenience suggests repatriating foreigners. This of course was not long after Farage himself said some new arrivals should be refused entry on health grounds. Once we allow Parties in the mainstream (even if with just 16% poll support) to suggest this type of immigrant should be repatriated or that kind of applicant should be refused because they are unhealthy, we are on a slippery slope. Why stop at deporting certain nationalities. Why not widen it to people of certain colours, of a certain race or religion. Repatriation is an extreme reaction but if the debate has traction, then it isn’t long before people start targeting people for being singled out because they are different. Alarmist? Perhaps, but this is a party that believe once women have had children they are less valuable economically than when they were childless. A party that not only gets into bed with holocaust deniers and racists, but espouses a creed that finds women, or people of different nationalities fair game to be singled out – is dangerous. So a UKIP vote is a dangerous protest vote. Protest in haste – repent at leisure!

THE learning brain clinic ATTENTION PARENTS & TEACHERS

The Learning Brain Clinic specialises in DIAGNOSING LEARNING DIFFICULTIES in CHILDREN AND ADULTS and offers professional help in order to correct them. Both the diagnosis and the corrections are carried out using the methods of the famous Professor Feurstein, which are now being practised in more than 70 countries around the world.

Our specialist staff have been trained by the Professor to DIAGNOSE (by the Learning Potential Assessment Device) and to correct the learning difficulties

by Instrumental Enrichment Exercises.

If your child is not up to the level of his/her class it is time to check if he/she is suffering from a specific learning difficulty rather than giving him lots of extra lessons which might not cure the root of the child’s problem. FEURSTEIN’S methods are focusing on finding the roots of the learning difficulties and correcting them so that the child (or the ADULT) may see greater achievements in the future.

THE LEARNING BRAIN CLINIC also specialises in children who refuse to go to school, complain of aches and pains when being there, can not sit still, can not concentrate, disturb teachers, do not get on with friends and with the teachers or are very disobedient.

Even in today’s world most business is still done over the telephone and that means that if you are not answering every call promptly you are potentially missing business and losing money.

As a business owner you may not even realise that you are missing calls and that’s the worst part.

In fact, studies have shown that almost 80% of people that reach voicemail hang-up!

For some businesses losing just one potential client could mean a substantial loss. The trouble is that it usually doesn’t make financial sense to hire additional staff just for the few occasions that calls are missed.

So what’s the solution?

Jet Virtual is a London based Telephone Answering Service which currently answers calls for hundreds of businesses from small start-ups to large corporations.

How does it work?

Jet Virtual will assign your company a dedicated number which you divert your calls to. You are assigned one main receptionist and her small team who answer calls in your company name as if based in your office. Messages are taken and sent by email/text or calls can be transferred live to you or a member of your staff.

Why would I need this service if I already have staff?

Many companies use us for overflow calls. For example, during lunch hours, after hours, busy periods, staff are sick or on holiday.

How do your receptionists know about our company?

Your dedicated receptionist will take the time to get to know enough about your company to be able to handle your calls professionally and efficiently. When your dedicated number is called your details pop up on their screen.

What if people are calling to make a booking?

Our receptionists can do a lot more than just take messages. We have clients who we handle bookings, cancellations, credit card payments and many other requirements.

mins with...

Missed Calls = Lost Business!

Is it expensive to use a telephone answering service?

It’s extremely cost effective because you only pay for the calls we answer so you pay a fraction of what it would cost to hire an extra member of staff.

There are no fixed salaries, no national insurance, no rental space, no sick days or holidays. Many companies save thousands of pounds by using our service.

Do you specialise in any specific sectors?

Yes, although we handle calls for many different types of businesses we specialise in the following sectors: Legal, Recruitment, Estate Agents, Health, Finance and IT. Do you offer a 24 hour service?

Yes and it’s amazing how many businesses shut at 5pm and don’t realise how many calls they miss just one or two hours after closing time!

Do my calls have to be diverted all the time?

No. Most of our clients will set it so that the calls are only diverted if nobody picks up within 3 rings or if all lines are busy. Switching on and off a divert is very simple.

How are you different to a call centre?

We’re as far away from a faceless call centre as you can get. Each of our clients are assigned one main receptionist and a dedicated team who are constantly kept up to date about your business.

We only hire highly experienced professional people who have a positive attitude. We use noise cancellation technology so there is no background noise. All our calls are answered in our London office.

How do I know our calls will be handled professionally?

Don’t take our word for it! Take our 7 day free trial to see for yourself. There is no commitment from you and you can make test calls to experience what your callers will experience.

Jet Virtual was founded by Daniel Gefen in 2010 and currently handles thousands of calls a day for hundreds of clients in many different sectors across the UK. Their offices are based in Queens Park, London. For any questions or to take advantage of their 7 day free trial offer please call 020 3503 0636 , or visit our website (www.JetVirtual.co.uk).

Where would you go for emotional and medical support if you were struggling with infertility?

This was the dilemma faced by four young Jewish women 20 years ago. They felt there was no-one to support them through this difficult journey. Now couples don’t have to face the journey alone. They can approach Chana confidentially, to be supported every step of the way.

What services do Chana Provide?

Today Chana services the entire Jewish community and offers financial and emotional support, one to one and couples counselling and specialist medical information as well as a confidential telephone helpline, and educational programmes. All services are supported by an expert Medical Advisory Panel, under the Rabbinical guidance of Dayan Chanoch Ehrentreu.

Who else do you help?

Chana also provides Well services. Offering men, women and teenagers comprehensive and

information relating to reproductive health and wellbeing, Chana helps people to tackle issues before they become a problem.

How is the charity funded?

The charity relies totally on private donations and runs a number of fundraising initiatives.

I have heard a lot about Chana’s Tea-cember.

What is that and how do I get involved?

This December is the third annual Tea-cember campaign, where people are encouraged to host a tea party and invite their friends and family to come along and make a donation. Many people see Tea-cember as an

opportunity to host a Chanukah party at their shul or children’s school. The main objective is to raise awareness of Chana and of course funds to help Chana continue to develop its vital services. Teacember is fun and easy, and a good excuse for a get together! To see photos from last year, and to sign up and get your hosting pack, please visit the Chana website www.chana.org.uk or phone the office on 0208 203 8455.

Do you have any educational events in the pipeline where I can learn more?

Chana offers educational programmes across London and the UK. On the 9th December, Chana in partnership with Borehamwood United Synagogue Ladies Committee will host an evening on ‘Is it my hormones or is it me?’

The presentation will be made by Dr Gidon Lieberman, Consultant Gynaecologist at the Whittington Hospital, in the evening, at Yavneh College. It will be relevant to women from their 20’s through to 60’s plus! For more info and to book your place, please visit the Chana website w w w. c h a n a . o r g . u k or telephone 0208 201 5774.

How can I get involved?

Chana is always looking for committed volunteers and have a variety of opportunities to help and get involved including: administrative support in the busy office, hosting a tea-cember, helping to raise funds by running a marathon and collection and delivery of Tzedoka boxes. There is a job for everyone – Chana would love to hear from you!
