  In a bizarre political move, top Tory doner Stuart Wheeler who has been a staunch Conservative for as long as anyone can remember and given them millions and millions over the years, including at one time a payment of £5million in one go, has been chucked out of the party. The reason is that he bizarrely gave a rather huge donation to UKIP. UKIP are a party, small in stature, who have some policies (for want of a better word) in place that many Tories aspire to. In other words many tories would like to see themselevs be more like UKIP in so many ways...ie..no ties with Europe whatsoever.
  
  UKIP, leader Nigel Farage, who enjoys the resplendant nature of life amonst the MEPs, still rubbishes at every opportunity its very reason for existence, is rubbing his hands with glee at this sudden unexpected donation. I cant myself understand the Farage/EU logic. If an individual hates the EU it seems odd to take part. Its akin to hating the Taleban but joining them.
  
  David Cameron said over the weekend " goodbye to Wheeler and his millions" as he chucked him out, clearly disgusted at the disloyalty. Wheeler isnt bothered.
  
  The Conservatives continue to support Europe but of course some within the Conservative fold want to see us pull out altogether. Our own BarryW has stated this often enough. So BarryW are you more a UKIP chap at heart??
