Farage Defends Hiring pro-Euro EU-Federalist

A belated link to this item from The Scotsman commenting on another banana skin for UKIP's grossly incompetent leaders, we quote a small portion, but recommend a read of the whole article linked here:

“UKIP has been torn apart by internal feuding in recent weeks and the leadership of that party must have been hoping that hiring a few big names would rally the troops.

“UKIP are heading for a thrashing in the European elections. Last time they scraped in because of a low turnout, but this time round I doubt if even the most hardline anti-Europeans will be backing a party that has degenerated into a farce.”

Once again delayed, but nevertheless amusing, this latest item from the Financial Times'Observer' column, which has been managing almost as much coverage of UKIP as this blog so far this year:-

To the Max

No repentance on Wednesday from the UK Independence party after Observer revealed Max Clifford, its recently hired PR Svengali, was a fan of the euro and would vote Labour in a general election.

Ignoring a Labour call to "back or sack Max Clifford", UKIP MEP Nigel Farage said: "Max agrees [with us] 100 per cent on one thing: power should lie in Westminster not Brussels. I know what he was trying to say."

Farage did promise Clifford would generate headlines for "Britain's fourth biggest political party". He's certainly done that.
