That UKIP official who was in the Sunday press for saying that bigots should have a party of their own too?
Went to college with him, where he was called 'Matt the Bigot'. He was a bit of a ('Piers Morgan' - Ed.) back then, too.

I wonder whether the negative name calling only served to harden his views where his views should have been challenged in a constructive forum. College, aye?
Just a thought. I'm not saying that you didn't challenge his views but surely the moniker "Matt The Bigot" couldn't have helped. And I'm not saying that's anyone's fault either. It's just a thought. I'm not picking a fight or nothing I'm just saying I don't like name calling and name calling can actually be incredibly hurtful. Unless your nick name is Rad Johnny Johnson Jnr of Funkytown.
