Saving a theatre, saving a nation

Red Shoes Theatre In Elgin
Now UKIP believe that our history, culture and buildings are something that should be cherished at all costs. They should not be discarded easily, on a whim or for profit. Its our buildings that give our cities, towns and villages their unique identities. What would it be like if every building or landmark of cultural importance were to be bulldozed and lost forever, for yet another cheap block of flats.
That's why we support Elgin City North Councillor Barry Jarvis in his quest to save the Red Shoes theatre in Elgin. I am not the biggest theatre attender, and must admit that I usually only go to the Theatre at Xmas with the children. But the excitement and memories that is produced from our yearly foray to the theatre really is something special. That's why I fully support the campaign that's starting to keep this wonderful local facility open.
UKIP normally are opposed to most of Labours, anti British, nation destroying policies, but where we differ from other party's is that we will support anyone who is working for the common good and benefit of the local community, that's why we give our local councillors the freedom to vote as their conscience guides them. For we really do believe in putting local people first.
The article to save the theatre is here, I only hope that the good people of Elgin rally behind Caller Jarvis and keep this unique building open, and we hope that the people fighting to keep it open try and keep it as a fully functioning theatre, as well as a rehearsal studio. Surely they can do both.
