“I WAS SURPRISED myself,” admits long-time Hyde Park orator HUE, “To have abandoned my years-long support for the Liberal Democrats, and my switching to the United Kingdom Independence Party. It has cost me personal friendships!

"Well, with important elections only days away, I thought I wanted to get it out there, and not just for family and friends ~ it might be a bit of fun, to tell people why I intended voting UKIP. But also reveal my misgivings.

"I also got to wallow in a bit of one of my favourite hobbies: the much-feared, much-maligned Conspiracy Theory! And... as I say on the iMovie ~ ‘U kip ~ I'm wide awake'."
