With no intention of disparaging UKIP and Nigel Farage, but if Worzel Gummidge was leader of that party, its following would be just as ardent.

It really is extraordinary that with all the adverse publicity by the seemingly combined efforts of the media, it has apparently only enhanced Nigel Farage and his party.

To counter this threat and popularity, Messrs. Cameron and Miliband have, with a hint of panic, contrived to pander to the policies of UKIP regarding the controversial EU diktats, which is rather pathetic and belated.

For more than half a century Westminster has been successfully dominated by Conservative and Labour Parties that have overseen the national decline of this country. There is however a wind of change sweeping across England which has nothing to do with the weather!
