A moderately eurosceptic Conservative-voting friend of mine thought "she was aggressive and went on too much." The same person, by the way, thinks Mr. Nigel Farage was "too aggressive" and that "the best person on the panel was Lord Carey".

Does he suggest UKIP approach Lord Carey? :wink:

I don't think former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, in his position as a senior figure in the Church of England, could really join any political party.

It would be nice if it turned out that Lord Carey were eurosceptic and anti-EU, though.

I always remember ex-Labour MP George Thomas, the former Speaker of the House of Commons, warning about the dangers of the EU when he became Lord Tonypandy.

Britannist, my posting was supposed to be a joke, a very small one I admit. I would think "Hell" has more chance of freezing over than Lord Carey joining UKIP!

Yes, I know you were joking - but I just thought I would point out that Lord Carey could speak out against the EU if he wanted to but might not be able to join a political party.

News today of Sayeedi Warsi, the Conservative Vice Chairman who appeared on BBC 1 Television Question Time last week along with UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP, who now says that rejected asylum seekers in the UK should be allowed to "do limited work" :x :
