I found the top link about UKIP extremely interesting and it explained a lot as to why the 'get UKIP' campaign is failing.
Could anyone care less about Eurovision? I didn't know it was still going.
I refer you to my tweet about it last night.

Great with a beer. ;)
People have never liked a bully except when they really don't like who is being bullied. For example, throwing bricks at someone like Myra Hindley is very popular in just about everyone's eyes because anyone who says it is more popular than Myra Hindley.
The problem politicians have is that very few people like them. So if they attack anyone they better make damn sure that someone is less popular than them. Considering career politicians are at the bottom of the pile when it comes to popularity, attacking everyday people in the street who have decided to have a little dabble in politics but said something stupid makes career politicians into one of the vilest bullies around.
In short, when they're gutting each other everyone is fine with it as the public think they are all gutless liars and venal crooks. When they apply the same tactics outside their sphere, the opposite effect occurs.
They really need to understand how very much the public despise them before they embark on such ill-judged campaigning.
