So. Who Actually WAS The Clown?

From: Rodney Atkinson (Ukip leadership candidate 2000), Meadowfield Road, Stocksfield, Northumberland. Yorks Post.

KENNETH Clarke accuses Ukip of being “clowns”. I can think of no other politician who has so ably demonstrated that he is a clown than Kenneth Clarke.
Clarke demonstrated his utter buffoonery when on a visit to the North in the 1990s he said he was pleased the Consett Iron Company was doing well – until it was pointed out that it had closed years before his visit. He then said that he was nevertheless pleased that a nappy factory was doing well in Consett – until it was pointed out that that had also closed.
Clarke was of course the great supporter of the euro and Britain’s membership of it. That has lead to the decimation of European economies, financial breakdown, unemployment of up to 57 per cent for youth in Spain and Greece and 12 million unemployed and social deprivation on a massive scale in the eurozone. Clarke is the clown and a rather unpleasant and dangerous clown at that.
