Cameron is wrong to ape the right on EU membership

LOOK who is suddenly directing British government policy — none other than a bunch of “fruit cakes, loonies, and closet racists”, to use David Cameron’s words.

For that is how the British prime minister previously described the UK Independence Party, but now that they are hammering his poorly-defended right flank, he has decided to ape them, not bait them.

That is potentially good news for Ireland, but extremely dangerous for Britain.
