I took that at face value: Greg's been attacking the Lechlade group, and Petrina was concerned about people getting upset and walking away. There's nothing else in the message you can get from it, [SNIPPED - personal sniping is unwelcome]

Regarding Greg: it's far too easy to shoot the messenger, especially if he is out of breath, smelly from months on the road, and generally unkempt (or thus it would have been in classical times). Thus it's not surprising that that's been the recourse of political lightweights throught history.

So is GLW saying things that UKIP doesn't want to hear? If so, are they true? Nobody gets marks in politics for believing their own rhetoric, only for doing and saying the right thing at the right time.
