Depending on your point of view, Nigel Farage's performance in the European parliament yesterday was either "telling them how it is" or an embarrassing display of arrogance from a party leader who couldn't even win a seat in last year's general election.
But at least Marine le Pen spoke up for him, praising the British people's courage against the "elite".
It is odd that neither of these politicians is exactly of the rank and file, one a millionaire lawyer (in a dynastic party), the other a millionaire public schoolboy investment banker.
These attributes do not disqualify them from speaking for the so-called "people", but one wonders at their real motivation. One supposes that UKIP will now disband having achieved its purpose, or at least change its name to EIP (English etc).
