Oh look, I can't be expected to do puns all the time. And make them work. What else would you have me do, what a farag(o)e/farag(e)o? I dunno. DK has nailed his colours to the UKIP mast (indeed, so happy is he about it his nailed them twice in quick succession). The problem, he says, though is that:

UKIP suffers from the perception that many of their members are old, racist, reactionary and insane or all four. They also suffer from their perception as a jingoistic one-issue, parochial party. If UKIP really wish to become a credible force in national politics, they need to take several steps.

And then goes on to list some. The major one he leaves out, though, is 'not to be so thoroughly infiltrated and run by the security services, that it seems new graduates at Thames Bank enter the party for a bit of basic practice in manipulation of the British political system.'
