Hmm. Or perhaps UKIP should have the common sense to keep quiet until the dust settles, and/or we get the leadership election over with?
One of the most annoying things about the present (UKIP) situation is that Roger seems bent on sabotage. We've had several press releases now containing implausible policy declarations, and we're apparently going to get one on UKIP's education policy tomorrow.
This raises two issues:
Firstly, if Roger wanted a tidy transition to the new regime, he'd be doing whatever he could to ensure the contest ran fairly -- he isn't.
Secondly, the right thing for a leader to do at this time is to
avoid making policy statements, so as to leave the field clear for the new chap.
I can only read this sort of statement (Roger's) as stirring-it, and a weak attempt to paint whoever-it-is either into a corner or forcing a public volte face.
Sneaky...
