Making Plans for Nigel

I know we’re still several weeks away from the General Election, but I’m already struck – even all the way over here – by how much press Nigel Farage seems to be getting.  This guy is a pompous ass, his party is something of an irrelevance in an election like this, and he is not worthy of any coverage whatsoever.  Yet I’ve seen his ugly mug on the UK news websites plenty recently – whether it’s trying to form a pact with Boris, or proclaiming he will destroy Labour.  He might filter some votes away from the Tories, but not enough to make any difference and so his extremist views should just be ignored and certainly not publicized.  Sadly, I have read that he supports Crystal Palace – he seems more like a Millwall type.
