You know, it’s possible that the previously unthinkable might happen. Simon Heffer thinks it possible (if you read between the lines). UKIP might get the support of one, possibly even two, of the major newspapers at the next election. Even if they don’t I can see that both won’t be dismissing them as fruitcakes and loonies, rather, taking them as a serious alternative.

Ah, would that be because they are offering a policy that evryone wants?

That Tory ‘fruitcake’ epiphet against UKIP was always what I think psychiatrists call ‘projection’ on their part, born out of guilt for abandoning core principles. As has been said, no real Tory could possibly support the EU project. Perhaps their new year’s resolution should be to give up their cognitive dissonance re EU.

Heff calls Polly Toynbee the ‘Charlotte Corday of the Guardian’. Is it too much to hope that she’ll stab Gordon while he’s taking a bath? And then be guillotined? Dare to dream.

The Telegraph is moving rather fast.
Only a week or so ago they had a leading article containing all the “fruitcake”, “extremist”, “fringe” and so on abuses, all aimed squarely at UKIP, and urging everyone to rally round and support the party, by which the seemed to mean wee Dave’s not-the-conservative party.
Maybe they’ve been out asking a few punters what they think? -
