Sunday Columnists Pronounce on UKIP

After a long week's wait, the Sunday newspaper columnists finally get their chance to pronounce upon the UKIP successes. In The Observer Will Hutton attempts to keep the federalist flag fluttering in this item titled 'One day their bubble will burst' linked here. Elsewhere in the same paper Peter Preston seems to draw most of the inspiration for comment from other media and journalist's opinion during the week. That piece titled 'Eurosceptic wave has the columnists all at sea' is linked here.

The 'Sunday Telegraph' on the other hand has as good as become a UKIP free zone. The Independent on Sunday has its Political Editor Andy McSmith look at the problems ahead for Blair in 'Leaders under fire from right - and Pope' linked here, which takes on board the point made in my closing post in Ironies last night, that in winning the support of the six nations necessary to ditch the Constitution the absence of reference to Christianity might become key.
There was much discussion of the Constitution and some analysis of its terms and implications posted on Ironies yesterday. Most of my comment on the EU Constitutional battle will be posted on that blog, please visit it and add it to your favourites or bookmarks to stay regularly up to date with developments.

"Even the Pope added to criticism of the 300-page document, agreed in the early hours of yesterday morning, for its absence of any reference to religion." (Independent on Sunday')
