Sir - Of course I greatly respect George Cowley's contributions. In respect of the UKIP I am part of what he is pleased to call "the rest". Until now I had not thought of myself as a fat-head but naturally I am open to be convinced.

Perhaps we could have more on the subject of folly/madness/departure from reality and support for the UKIP. I seem to have heard this theme being banded about recently.
