They're everywhere
As one set of Ukip supporters celebrate "victory", another set react to a defeat.It would be easy to dismiss the Ukip's relatively strong showing in the Euro elections as an outpouring of tabloid-led ignorant xenophobia made overly important by a small turnout. Nevertheless we must dismiss it as an outpouring of tabloid-led ignorant xenophobia made overly important by a small turnout.
After all in an election in which the Ukip campaigned on a policy of withdrawal from the European Union, vast majorities in every election and in every region voted for parties that are committed to remaining in the European Union.
The government should react to this good news by announcing an immediate date for a referendum on an EU constitution, and announce plans to join the euro.
I'm off to celebrate England's thrashing of France.
