UKIP starts election campaign early in Tunbridge Wells

UKIP delivered to my house a copy of the free special edition of the Daily Express with the banner headline Get Britain out of the EU.  It runs to 24 pages and anti-EU though I am, the document was depressingly one-sided and after a while exceedingly boring to read. Unbalanced, zealous, in-your-face material such as this is counter-productive.

Inserted in the document (I refrain from describing a blatant propaganda sheet as a newspaper) is a membership application form to join UKIP.  UKIP did reasonably well in the recent Pembury by-election.  The party is hoping no doubt that people who usually vote Conservative, but have become disaffected by the recent shambles within the Conservative Group controlling the Council, will transfer their support to UKIP rather than to the Liberal Democrats.
