Ken Clarke brands UKIP 'clowns'

[-:Undertaker:-]

This is entirely independent of my own beliefs, I agree that this ought not to reflect on Farage's capability at all and I do not believe it does, but there are a ton of people who whatever reason do.

Oh fair enough, got wrong end of stick. +rep & apologies.

But sadly thats true, but again i'd say its more of a 'big thing' in the political bubble rather than on the streets.

Nothing like a bit of political one-up-man-ship Would the masses really know about this?

Labour have now jumped in and have apparently sided with Cameron on ruling Farage out of the debates in 2015 - http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...ocal-elections ... heard mutterings that Labour top brass are now worried the way UKIP is taking away votes in their heartlands.

Either way it's a win-win situation. If Farage is excluded, it'll show how terrified the main closed shop parties are - if he's included then he'd wipe the floor with the three of them. Judging by the comments across all the sites, it [all thes attacks] have only cemented UKIP support.
