    I doubt she'd have the success nowadays unlike she did 35 years ago.

    It was like my local Councillor on hearing my views on a recent controversial planning permission court case saying "you seem to know a lot about this, you should consider joining us" and me turning round and saying straight to his face: "Join you? Join you? No, I intend to send the whole system crashing into obsolescence".

    His expression was priceless!

    I suspect It's been a closed shop in Politics so long they have no idea how to handle the independents.

    I think that was an olive branch and an opportunity to make a difference.

    The problem is helmet, you get caught up in it all like someone watching a Punch and Judy show and get all frothy and ranty. "He's behind you!". Heart attack material. It's all smoke and mirrors. Let it go. Focus on something else you'd like to do. Like flower arranging. Or sudoku.
    You did read it, didn't you?

    So Nigel, the truth is you are actually no different to all the other political spivs in Westminster and are out to take as much for yourself as you can it would seem

    It's not a tax dodge. He sells his services/image as a PSC.

    UKIP are dross and Farage is a fool, but on this issue there is no issue except the media looking to sell inches.

    So Nigel, the truth is you are actually no different to all the other political spivs in Westminster and are out to take as much for yourself as you can it would seem and hang the 'common man' (haven't forgotten you trying to set up an offshore company to avoid tax a couple of years ago and you and your fellow UKIP MEP's claiming £800K a year in expenses from the EU either).
    UKIP offering something different? Yeah right!
    Mind you what do you expect from a party set up by a merchant banker, funded by bankers and the fossil fuel lobby and run by an ex-banker.
    Shame some people are so blinded by their hatred of the EU, immigration and disillusionment (which is justified) with the other three parties to notice that UKIP are taking them for a ride.

    Stop fixating on Farage the man.

    This is about raising awareness to get the UK out of the EU.

    It's the message not the messenger.
