A Change From Kissing Babies

Elections always bring out the weird and wonderful in people; from kissing babies, throwing eggs and punches to the quarantining of dogs as we saw on Sunday in Cheltenham. This current election is proving no exception.

Given the opportunity to put his money where his mouth is Nigel Farage has just turned down a challenge from a Polish war hero to fight a duel. Andrzej Zylinski, who is said to have saved 6,000 Jews by charging a Nazi-held town in 1939, lambasted Farage for his policy on immigrants saying the most ridiculous thing he had heard Farage claim was that it was migrants who caused traffic jams on the M40. And there's me thinking it was cars to blame.

I'm planning to write directly to Nigel to encourage him, in the interests of chivalry and national pride, to take up Mr.Zylinski's challenge.
