In the interview on This Morning, Eamonn said two things I thought I would never hear admitted by his like in the media: that his job leading up to the election was (not ‘is’ as quoted in the leader above) …was to make Nigel look nuts but that the other parties are now picking up many of those policies. Top marks to him for noticing and saying that publicly, but he drew the wrong conclusion. He asked, does this mean they are all in this together now? What he should have said is, ‘Doesn’t this show you were not nuts but ahead of the game, right all along, Nigel?’
Absolutely true and correct. But give some due to Holmes for being one of the very few interviewers or commentators to admit what he did on air. Perhaps that will give a clue to some of the more unaware viewers what goes on behind the editorial scenes when it comes to Nigel and UKIP. As ever, Nigel lays down the facts calmly and predicts what might happen in the future. As ever, he’ll be proved to be right.
