"Nigel Farage, seems to be out on his own in the UK regarding common sense"
It's a sad state of affairs when stating the bleedin' obvious makes you a maverick. Common sense isn't as common as it used to be.
The French National Front used to be as pilloried as UKIP and they are now the poll-leaders. Hopefully UKIP can do likewise and put a lot more UKIP bums on parliamentary seats.
