UKIP Target the Tories

SINCE Monday morning, Bromley borough residents have been living with six enormous billboard adverts, the most prominent - and expensive - at the entrance to the town on Mason's Hill shouting UKIP's policies on tax, immigration and crime.

Sitting in the party's Walpole Street Bromley HQ, Nigel Farage chuckles that the ads will not only "scare the life" out of his opponents, but that they bear testimony to a newly energised political group, at last able to compete with the main parties in terms of both finance and policy.

And it is David Cameron's Conservatives that UKIP has in its sights. Still angry at the "appalling" remark in which The Tory leader described UKIP supporters as "closet racists and fruitcakes" Mr Farage is determined to make him pay at the polls on June 29.

He says: "One of the things I would like to do is make Conservative Party chairman Francis Maude and Mr Cameron realise just how stupid they were to make that remark.

"It is absolutely reprehensible to call this party a racist party and not apologise for it, and we are going to teach them a lesson for that."
