Fruitcakes, barmpots and racists
But daily blogger PETER RHODES says things could be worse for Ukip. Plus a Royal decree in France and brave words as the Grim Reaper approaches.

HOW did that fat Liberal Cyril Smith get away with child abuse for so many years? Intriguingly, Google has more than 15,000 links to “Cyril Smith and Freemasons.” If it ever gets started, this is going to be one hell of an inquiry.
NO SUPRISES in the torrent of bile being poured on Ukip as the May 22 Euro-elections approach. Some of it is doubtless deserved. As I pointed out some months ago, when a party grows so quickly that it suddenly needs to find hundreds of candidates, some fruitcakes, barmpots and racists will slip through the net. But largely because it is so new, Ukip is still squeaky-clean compared to the three major political parties with their various sex, paedophilia and expenses scandals. Con, Lab and Lib/Dems are worried to death about Ukip seizing millions of votes. Hence the bile.
