UKIP Moment

I had finished cutting the hedge and was struggling to get my gear back in off the street when a passing random bloke in a baseball cap paused to open the gate for me. I think- from his appearance and his not seeming to have any English- that he was one of those Romanians Nigel Farage is so angry about.

It's because Farage has established himself as a character- as a brand- and the Green Party has no-one with that kind of charisma.

He's just another of those privileged blokish blokes that really wind me up!

Hail fellow well met and all that............

I don't like his style either, but he's colourful- and there are very few major political figures who are.

Boris Johnson
Alex Salmond
George Galloway

And that's about it.

Echh!

Don't get my other half going on Wee Eck- he was at uni with him.

You forgot Tommy Sheridan! :o)

Sheridan is colourful- but his career is over.
