Following David Cameron's remarks on UKIP being "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists" many within his own party are shocked at his remarks.
Could the reason Cameron made those remarks was to undermine UKIP in the May 4 local elections, as many people who voted UKIP in the 2004 EU Elections were Tory voters, who were sick of the Conservative Party's view on the EU.
Cameron has also deserted the traditionally right-wing Tory vote, in favour of the more liberal votes from commie students and ethnics.
This has cause a slightly increased sympathy for UKIP in Middle England, which is the Tory Heartland.
