As it now looks increasingly unlikely that UKIP with be a very damp squib this May, there is no need for anybody to fear them AOG ! And I certainly haven't, ever, been frightened of them. I just hold them up to ridicule once in a while.
I have just heard Farage being interviewed on the Today Program, and he is now backtracking on what his colleague said just two days ago, on the issue of immigration and a quota or cap. Osborne was interviewed just after, and to quote him ::::
"But asked about Mr Farage's comments, Mr Osborne told Today that Mr Farage seemed to be "making it up as he goes along", talking about a cap and then dropping it "live on air".
UKIP's policies are rather like London buses.....don't worry if you missed one, because a new one will be along in a minute.
If Farage and UKIP want to be taken seriously, and get away from the description that dave gave them a few year ago ( fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists ) then they need to be consistent, which they are far from being at the moment.
