e Day - tally ho!

Nigel Farage, standing as a parliamentary candidate for UKIP and so a Europhobe of the first water, has been hurt when the small aeroplane he was travelling in crashed. The pilot was also pretty badly hurt.

Exciting rumours that it had been shot down by a Fokker proved to be unfounded. Apparently the ‘vote UKIP’ banner it was trailing wrapped round it on landing.

Hoisted by his own petard?
