No, a 3 x A4 page cartoon strip, drawn by a professional cartoonist, and running in various local newspapers, presenting Eurosceptic issues in a manner designed to appeal to the young, e.g. HG wells gets stuck in "metric" time; Alice in Euroland. The core facts were checked by Chris Booker, and afterwards, I arranged for unlimited free use for any UKIP youth organisation. They were reused over several election campaigns, and made available to brighten up branch websites. (They are a little out of date now as they were done 10 or so years ago)

That's my attempt at catching the interest of the young; The UKIP Youth lads at conference last year (and Lisa Duffy) seemed to like it...

Bob, Unwarranted attacks (?) aside, why won't you accept constructive criticism? How can we work as a team when individuals won't work for a common cause, but place their own personal vanity above everything.

Your strengths are you work hard and are committed, your weakness is you won't accept that you cannot spell, cannot punctuate and cannot use English as effectively as you might. You're not alone in that, but if you want to progress there is no harm in understanding when to use the apostrophe and when not. There are excellent books that I am not afraid to use, despite having spent my entire life trying to perfect my English. I learnt a new word the other day and was delighted, not ashamed, that my education had advanced (gastrolith - excellent word).

Spon, those cartoons are brilliant! Why weren't we seeing them in Independence?

1. It was years ago, now - there's a third part where I turn up in a tardis and rescue 'em. But they're out of date, and the ending is "me" specific.

2. No one at top level seemed interested in doing anything with 'em! It's a shame... here's the ending for you:



I updated this 5 years on to change the date, and reflect the fact we had more MEPs etc...
