“This man is not a cartoon character. He ain’t Delboy. He ain’t Arthur Daley. He’s a pound-shop Enoch Powell and we’ve got to watch him.”
For sure, and Twitter seemed to agree, but wasn’t so kind to Revolutionary Brand either.

Indeed, you can always depend upon a lady with large hands.
He may not be Delboy, but the middle market tabloid’s own “Dirty Barry” gifted him more than a sub of Asian Babes this time.
“Mr Desmond has expressed public support for Mr Farage’s immigration policies and the extent of Brussels’ influence over Britain’s domestic affairs.”
Lets just hope he doesn’t get him a spot on Television X’s Friends with Benefits Street. (As well as Express Newspapers, Richard Desmond owns a number of pornographic magazine titles and the UK’s most popular—with “steampowered” computer illiterate old kippers (telegraph.co.uk, May) not on the internet—pornographic television channel, Television X.)
Update 15th December 2014
“To the man who asked why he wouldn’t stand for Parliament, Brand answered: ‘I’m scared I’d become one of them.’ His performance rather poignantly suggested he had become one already—slippery, vain and out-of-touch. Welcome to the Establishment, Russell.”
Update 13th December 2014
“Documents unearthed by The Telegraph show that Mr Farage asked Mr Powell for his support to win a by-election in 1994 and Ukip officials made repeated attempts to enlist his support.”
So although ol’ Enoch could not feel he could offer his support to Nigel, he did allow some endorsement to other Ukip candidates, but obviously something other than Ukip’s anti-European stand made him drop short of full-on support. Maybe he just didn’t fancy the Erich Ludendorff role as only one that don’t duck at the Ukip version of the Beer Hall Putsch.
Who can you believe in? I guess it takes someone who believes in you. It’s musical break time.
