I don't for a second imagine anyone as eminent as Lord Patten would bother looking at comments below the line, but perchance you do, I make these observations:

If these are the best arguments you can come up with to counter the Brexit Party, then boy, are you in serious trouble. I say this as someone who is on the Eurosceptic center-right, and who is no fan of Farage. But playing with matches is precisely what many like me aim to do. We plan to use the Brexit Party to give both main parties, but especially the Tories, a good kicking for a bit. To keep them honest, you understand. Think of it as a parallel of the Punishment Beating, sorry Budget, the Chancellor threatened just before the Referendum vote - the difference being this one will be more effective. I doubt it will be any consolation to you, but we wouldn't have voted for UKIP in it's current form - most of us would have sat this one out. But, stupid as we are, it is now clear that the PM sold us a pup. Varieties of BINO and half-way houses are seriously bad for the UK - much worse than Remain, but that is what we are being kettled towards. So the Tories as the governing party, need to be bought back to the straight and narrow. We, or at least many of us, are well aware that Boris is a buffoon. That don't mean we can't use Boris as a means to an end. If we end up Riding the Tiger, we have been driven to it because of the ardent pro-EU crowd in both main parties who have thwarted at every turn a clean break with the EU - the result that the country voted for, but you hated. You see what comes of playing with matches?
