Damian Thompson in The Telegraph recently made a very subtle attack on UKIP. He quoted the embittered Alan Sked who has absurdly attempted to make links in ideas between UKIP and the BNP - then 'very honestly' REJECTS them as being wrong. SO WHY SAY IT?
He tried to attack UKIP as having few grassroots - and again - he was perfectly correct! But what can you expect from a relatively new party?
He then went onto say how hard UKIP has to work 'to keep the loonies out' - as is always necessary in new political movements. Yet, he cannot deny their success in so doing!
I must assume that our Damian was trying to cleverly undermine [split infinitive acknowledged] without ever abusing the truth.
It is all about juxtaposition, innit?
