Is that it? Is this the level which the media wants NF to present himself? FFS, this man will quite probably hold the balance of power after the next general election. From being dismissed as a 'far right party' by the BBC, UKIP is now to be included in leadership debates. Grudgingly, the media talk about, and talk to occasionally, UKIP people in the hope to ridicule them.
