Finally a sensible article about UKIP – thanks to the ConservativeHome website, torydiary.  It argues well that UKIP is not the BNP.  They have done an admirable job weeding out radicals and racists: However, the number exposed as extremists is under 1% – indeed I think still in single figures.

Here, in two parts, is the wonderful speech by UKIP Leader Nigel Farage to his party’s Spring Conference in Exeter. Notice that Farage speaks with only a few notes and what appears to be sans the Teleprompter.  He has confidence and has a tremendous delivery. I can’t wait until May 2 to see what will [...]
