'In what will be seen as a sign of growing unease in the Prime Minister’s
inner circle over the rise of Ukip, it has emerged that Mr Crosby held
discussions with a lobbying firm about a “below-the-radar” campaign targeting
Ukip.
Mr Crosby held the meeting with a lobbying firm, Westbourne. Plans were
discussed by those at the meeting about the value of investigating the nearly
150 Ukip councillors elected in the May local elections. A source familiar with the meeting has said that Mr Crosby referred to elected Ukip members as “f***ers” and suggested that attempts could be made to delve into the personal lives of the party’s candidates.'
AND in today's Mail - Any off the cuff remark by any Ukipite in the last 20 years seems 'fair game' to draw any conclusion whatsoever.
AND back in the Torygraph - a poll is proudly announcing that Ukip will take NO Westminster seats in 2015.
Let us assume that the poll is correct. A party which has easily taken more than 24% of the vote in council elections to take NO MPs - there is something utterly and appallingly wrong with the system!
Anyway - before too many conclusions are drawn - let's see how Ukip do in the EU elections in May - huh?
