Ssssshhhhh. Now look, this is just between YOU and ME. You see the BBC don’t want you to know as you can see from this but if you click this you will discover that Mohammed is NOW the most popular name for a baby boy in England and Wales. Cor […]

You can bet that the BBC weren’t trying to do UKIP a favour when they organised this 3 minute long “introduction” to the four candidates for the leadership of the party.
