It’s the problem with being a group of reactionaries. It’s all fueled by misplaced anger. Any excuse to fling it, and off they all go.

I’ve said before that I think there are very decent reasons, such as sovereignty, to have a proper debate on the EU. The problem is that such concerns are not widespread. Most don’t give a fuck about the military problems membership can cause us, or how what we might see as EU expansion looks a lot like EU imperialism, depending on where you happen to be sat.

The problem is that you’re not going to engage the general public with that sort of argument, and you’ll have much better luck attacking the EU with less intelligent approaches.

The only good thing that’s come out of this are friendships … But have I got anything else apart from looking at much of Ukip and thinking you are just a bunch of ragtag, unprofessional, embarrassing people who let Nigel down at every juncture? No.”
