Farage and Morris in The Spectator

Taken from the DIARY 3/7/04

"Mary Wakefield

Looking through the letters to the editor this week, I was depressed by how many Spectator readers are still writing in to defend Ukip. I know they speak to the soul on the subject of immigration and the EU, but Peter Oborne is right; Ukip is a party of creeps and bores. When I was working on the then Peterborough column of the Daily Telegraph, every day brought a new fax from Nigel Farage MEP insisting we print stories about the launch of a Ukip car sticker or pound-sign badge. Hourly telephone calls from Farage ensured that we were all narcoleptic with boredom, terrified of the phone and self-medicating with miniatures of gin.

Abetter reason not to support Ukip is their chief strategist, Dick Morris, the man credited with the party¹s recent success. Morris, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, now raves about the genius of George W. Bush, which tells you what a stand-up sort of guy he is. And while you¹re trusting him to 'save democracy from bureaucracy' and maybe even considering voting Ukip in the general election, Morris has got himself another job. He¹s helping a woman called Lia Roberts campaign to be president of Romania. One of Morris's and Roberts¹s winning policies is that Romania must join the EU."
