The UK Independence Party brushed aside the threat from Robert Kilroy-Silk yesterday as it unveiled its policies on immigration and asylum.

In its campaign titled We Want Our Country Back, Ukip claimed that only withdrawal from the European Union could restore Britain's control over its borders.

Ukip leaders indicated that though the campaign echoed the launch of Mr Kilroy-Silk's Veritas party, it was the former Ukip member who was stealing their policies.

Boosted by a £400,000 donation from Alan Bown, a retired bookmaker, the party yesterday came to Westminster to unveil a new campaign poster to demonstrate that Brussels had the whip hand on British immigration policy.

The cartoon poster, one of five to be used during the coming general election campaign, showed a threatening EU giant standing over a quaking trio of all three main party leaders, Tony Blair, Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy.

The fairest article I have ever seen. No snide quips, no positive or negative comment, just an accurate report of the facts. Well done The Telegraph. Keep this up and I may just start buying a paper again!
