The Conservative battle bus stops off in Dudley
THE Conservative Party leader branded English Defence League supporters as "dreadful people", saying he could "ban them" if he was in power, as he stopped off in Dudley during his 24 hour campaign for change.
Meeting staff at Burton Road ambulance station
David Cameron arrived at the West Midlands Ambulance Service station in Burton Road in his battle bus shortly before 12.30pm.
The Tory politician was met by a media scrum of TV cameras and camera flash bulbs as journalists from across the country fought to get a shot of Mr Cameron in the last day before the polls open.
Mr Cameron is currently touring the country in the final 24 hours before election day in his bid to be given the keys to 10 Downing Street.
During his whistle-stop visit to the ambulance station, Mr Cameron met with Steve Perry, West Midlands Ambulance Service Divisional Commander for the Black Country and Vickie Wharton, Group Station Manager for Dudley, before meeting paramedics and technicians.

During the short visit, which lasted around 20 minutes, Mr Cameron said the Black Country was a key area to Conservative success in tomorrow's election, and said he wanted to visit to show his support for the two Dudley candidates Graeme Brown and Chris Kelly.
He also said he thought the party had "fought the most energetic campaign, met more people, done more events, answered more questions and set out the most consistent case for change."
Speaking about the recent visits to the town by anti-mosque protestors the English Defence League, Mr Cameron said they were "dreadful people", who would "always be under review" if he was in power, adding "and if I needed to ban them I will".
However one Dudley resident was left with questions unanswered after shouting for the Tory leader to hear him out as he arrived at the station.
Mr Cameron said he would answer his question on his way out, but when the man approached him again as he left, the leader boarded the coach which was bound for Wales for the last few hours of the campaign.

UKiP supports completely the beleagured shopkeepers who have suffered as a result of all this volatile beahviour from both sides.
We must never ban free speech; but we should stop the financial harm to what is left of our high streets and the damage to our peaceful enjoyment of our own streets.
The Conservatives are being weak. They don't support the shopkeepers but they will curb civil liberties. Sounds famiiar? So close to Labour that you couldn't put a cigarette paper between them!

EGYPT KIDNAPS CHRISTIANS
The world is shamefully silent over the Egyptian government and Saudi Arabia involvement in the kidnapping of Christian Egyptian girls in Egypt. Kidnapped Christian female children are violently converted to Islam and forcibly married/raped to adult Muslim males.
Does the uncaring, mainstream media not report this because telling the truth about Islam would make Islam look bad? Protecting Islam is considered more important by Western mainstream media and government leaders than protecting the lives of desperate, defenseless innocent children!

Abduction and Forced Islamization of Christian Coptic Girls Continues in Egypt
(AINA) — The systematic abduction and forced Islamization of Coptic minor girls in Egypt is a frequent, dangerous and a rapidly escalating phenomenon. Coptic Pope Shenouda III, December 17th, 197: “there is pressure being practiced to convert Coptic girls to embrace Islam and marry them under terror to Muslim husbands” and demanded that the abducted girls be brought back to their families.
Abductions are done in cooperation between Saudi-funded associations and the Egyptian State Security.
…in the majority of cases, the State Security is the one who masterminds the kidnapping plans.”

Turkey's Prime Minister, Erdogan, publicly read an Islamic poem: “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and Muslims our soldiers…”
’“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”

Britain is no longer. Britain won the Second World War, but lost the war Islam wages daily, hourly, against the West. Weak British leaders meekly submit to Islam. The constant demands of Muslims are instantly obeyed.

Alija Izetbegovic stated in the Islamic Declaration that:
"There can be neither peace nor coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic social and political institutions… the Islamic movement must and can take over political power as soon as it is morally and numerically so strong that it can not only destroy the existing non-Islamic power, but also build up a new Islamic one."
