    ITN calls for me to be sacked! Would they also have called for the sacking of Winston Churchill? http://ow.ly/J6jQ30byZzJ

        No you are using misdirection. The POINT is that Churchill said the same thing. That is the only comparison.

        Churchill called for the creation of a United States of Europe. Don't thing you and he would've been fighting on the same side.

        He meant a democratic institution, not a commissariat of appointed dictators. If the electorate cannot elect it is not democracy.

        The people I vote for have no power. I do not vote for the PM. He appoints 1 legislator out of 28. Compare with USA.

      Frankly I wouldn't worry much. UKIP, in its current form, is a sick dog. Hopefully something greater can be reborn.

      It's not delusions of grandeur. It's the comparison of the reaction to churchill's comments 120 years ago compared to today's intolerant.
