The Insider (April 18) has commented on UKIP’s organisational abilities.

His thoughts, thankfully, are just a matter of opinion, borne out by the Oxford Mail (April 23) which shows that the Cherwell region of the county is indeed, fielding a full slate of UKIP candidates, except for one ward.

That is showing good organisational skills.

There is not expected to be quite as many candidates in the rest of the county, but the county council elections are the first of many UKIP battles that the party is prepared for in the next two years.

The Insider mentions the words “predicted surge”.

This will be determined by the voters on the day.

Only they will say if they want real changes or not.

We will have to wait and see.
