40% of us are now Fruitcakes

By Roy Norry

A report in the London Evening Standard points out the folly of David Cameron's own goal when he labels those calling for a withdrawal from the EU as being "fruitcakes" becaue there is now 40% of the British population he is tarring with this brush.

Sarah Sands says "Fidgeting and beaming on the BBC green room sofa on Sunday morning was a man who represents the views of 40 per cent of the British people and whose party plausibly claims it can leave the Liberal Democrats for dead at the next election.

"Yet Nigel Farage and UKIP are still dismissed by David Cameron as a "bunch of fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists". Clearly, this is also the view of the European Commission. Watch Farage's interventions on YouTube. As he warns, presciently as it turns out, of the economic collapse of Greece, his European colleagues sigh, smirk and roll their eyes. 

 
Commenting on the politics of Cameron compared to UKIP, Sands says "I no longer believe that subtlety works. We need to summon our own Big Bazooka. Surely this is the time for Boris Johnson to jump ship and join UKIP. Would not the 81 Euro rebels be tempted to follow? How is Zac Goldsmith, reportedly chastised by Cameron for his insubordinate views on Europe, bearing up? Time for him to resurrect the Referendum Party? If I have to choose between the grand assurances of Heseltine or the scrappy, froglike figure of Farage, I will not hesitate."
