I THINK it ironic that UKIP supporters should be highlighting trouble at their meetings (Review, February 14) as quite often members of this same party  (some referred to by Nigel Farage himself as "Walter Mittys")  use terminology reminiscent of bully boys.

I decided I could never support a party whose leader is unacceptably rude when speaking in Brussels to other elected representatives of the EU. What message does this give to the people of Europe and the rest of the world? 

In this I would highlight Nigel Farage's remarks to the newly appointed President of the Council just before the last General Election when he said of him: "...you have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low grade bank clerk," and in the same speech, "...you come from Belgium, which of course is pretty much a non country."

Might I remind Mr Farage and all members of UKIP of the hundreds of thousands of allied troops killed on the soil of this "non country" during World War One to keep it free of tyranny?

Perhaps UKIP candidates should organise a tour to this "non country" and visit the Menin Gate to read their names?   I rebuke him and all who use such language with so little thought in two words: "Ypres" and "Passchendale."
