Having failed to persuade Jeffrey Titford to employ a whiz-kid reasearcher when he was elected and on occasion afterwards; when TW became an MEP I had a go at him on the same subject. I prepared a list of subjects the researcher should tackle - all matters in this country that would help to promote UKIP. I also suggested that he himself should have two main objectives. The first was to ensure he was re-elected. The second was that when anyone in the Eastern Counties was asked the question,'Who is your MEP?' their immediate reply would be, 'Tom Wise of course'.
At the time I believed that success in the latter would lead to the former. I suspect that will now have the opposite effect.
