When I say "tank", I actually mean a Saracen Armoured Personnel Carrier" and when I say "lawn" I actually mean a low-loader on the street outside the conference centre. But hey! At least I didn't overfill my kettle!

Lt. Gruber bridled at being referred to as a "fruitcake".

I'd rather be a fruitcake than a cokehead... (to the tune of Simon & Garfunkle's Sound of Silence)

The remainder of the sign reads

"About to Attempt to keep
Britain in Labour Hands by splitting the Tory Vote

Not Just Barking Mad - We are
EuroSceptic Vote Splitters

TimC,

If UKIP want to be a national party, then clearly they need to stand in every seat.

If UKIP are expected to not stand in a seat with a eurosceptic Tory, what seats would the Tories not stand in, in return? Exactly, no chance.

If what you are really saying is that you would like the eurosceptic vote to automatically come to the Tories even if they do not offer Eurosceptic policies, then I would suggest although they may well be barking, you are Upminster (one stop from Barking)

The only reason the vote is split is because the eurosceptic voters obviously do not trust the Tories. Delivery of the EPP withdrawal pledge is the way to address this.

UKIP tries some new persuasive techniques to boost membership numbers.

On a non-satiring note, does the sign really say "About Britain, not just Europe"?

Sorry Madam, David Icke couldn't make it today.

How do you split the Eurosceptic vote when there is only one eurosceptic party? Unless the other one you are talking about is the BNP and I'd be happy for them to get no votes, thanks very much!
