UKIP Taxation Strategy.
UKIP has set out the tax strategy that will be part of its manifesto in next year's general election.
The party will enter the race with a pledge to cut taxes and take low earners out of income tax entirely.
Leader Nigel Farage said its policies would ensure that people "get out and spend" and "actually help to get the economy going".
UKIP would also make the 40p rate the top rate of tax, which people would start to pay once they earned £45,000.
Mr Farage confirmed last month that the party was rethinking its economic policies and that it no longer backed a single rate of income tax.
In 2010, when he was not leader, it supported a "flat tax", which it said would be set at 31% and would be achieved by merging income tax and national insurance.
'Worthwhile'
But Mr Farage last month said he believed an appropriate top rate of tax was 40%. He also announced that no-one earning the minimum wage or below should pay any tax on their earnings.
Mr Farage told the BBC News Channel: "The most important thing is raising the threshold at which people start to pay tax."
He added: "If you do that whilst at the same time controlling the over-supply of labour that's coming into Britain from many parts of Europe, not only do you get people back into work, you make it worthwhile for people to get off benefits."
Mr Farage said full details of how UKIP would pay for the tax changes would be outlined at the party's annual conference next month.
He added: "When you leave people more money in their pocket they actually go out and spend it in the economy. That actually helps to get the economy moving."
The party would also block new migrants from claiming benefits until they had paid tax and national insurance for five years. BBC.

Scottish Independence.
Apparently, Salmond gave Darling a bit of a rousting in the second debate. Still not good reason for Scotland to make the mistake of 'going it alone'.
I find it incredibly interesting how so many 'anti-nation state' leftists seem anxious for this divide.

Faith Brings Health Boost.
Health benefits of faith in God “extraordinary” says GP in medical journal
 |
| Dr Richard Scott |
A
Christian GP has published an article in a medical journal this month in which
he reports on research which shows that the effects of faith on health are
“extraordinary”.
Dr Scott, who is also a former Christian Legal Centre client, had his article published in this month’s British Journal of General Practice. The article was also mentioned in The Telegraph this week.
Survey
Prompted by his own battle with cancer, the Margate GP consulted the Handbook of Religion and Health, a book published by two American professors in 2012. The book surveys the wealth of research on religion and health that has been conducted since 1800. The majority of these are US-based studies and concern the Judaeo-Christian tradition.

Racism Or ...
The thoroughly wicked accusations of 'racism' so often levelled at
UKIP by the media in the runup to the EU elections had a 'little brother' which
tried to achieve the same end with less obvious defamation. Watch out for the weasel phrase, 'causing
division'.
Volcano To Trigger Our Worst Ever Winter?
BRITAIN could freeze in YEARS of super-cold winters and miserable summers if the Bardarbunga volcano erupts, experts have warned. Express.
The good news here, of course, is that this is The Express which is hardly noted for its balanced weather reporting. If one newspaper ever had a single, major deficiency, it is The Express when it gets over-excited about weather forecasts.
Media Tot Ups MUST Stop.
The latest in farcical journalism is found in the Mail where drug dealers apparently got a much-merited 100 years in jail. BUT, this absurd headline is, in fact, a shareout between TEN different people. Each of these will inevitably serve less than half the actual terms.
