UKIP! A Pariah Party?

This item taken from the UKIP Press Release section of the party's web-site dated 23rd January, appears to have excited little comment:-

The U.K. Independence Party today said that Labour MEP Richard Corbett was on the run after he refused to attend a public debate if UKIP Yorkshire and Humberside Euro candidate Godfrey Bloom was also invited.

What the UKIP Press Office does not reveal are the reasons for Mr Corbett's refusal.

We hear that it was a matter of principal, in protest at the highly publicised and outrageous remarks recently made by Nigel Farage MEP, backed-up by the party Press Officer and then even more astoundingly, four other senior party figures: the Leader, Chairman and its two other MEPs.

It will be surprising if members of many other political parties do not soon to take similar action.

UKIP will not have much of a Euro campaign if it is only the BNP, (which growing rumours indicate has some kind of deal with UKIP anyway) becomes the only other party prepared to share a platform or enter into debate with those shameless enough to pin on a UKIP rosette while its present leadership is still at the helm!

We imagine those linked with Farage's name in the EUobserver report linked from the post below, cannot be feeling entirely comfortable this morning.
