I, like Sid, happen to be believe the basic idea behind Alexander's post is reasonably sound, but I think to jump from making good a crumbling building to a UKIP political broadcast in one sentence was wide of the mark. UKIP is basically a one issue party and to deflect from that issue is, in my humble opinion, to turn people's attention away from the UKIP message of getting Great Britain out of Europe.
It's too easy to get sidetracked in local issues, but ultimately they're not UKIP's message; whilst local issues are important, I believe that if UKIP is to be a credible force in politics, we must concentrate on what UKIP is all about. That's not to say we can't try to get local councillors elected, for example Vic whose commitment is very much against the sale of the Port; however, for the sake of credibility in the eyes of the voters, it's important to remain focussed on what UKIP voters want to se us campaignng on.
