The BBC hate UKIP. We never get fair coverage from them. So today, I wasn't surprised that my visit to the Politics Show bungalow in Stourbridge was so strange.

UKIP came first in the region in the Euro elections last year. THere are two UKIP MEPs here. We have local councillors and have nearly filled all the PPC vacancies. We are the only genuinely different party and the voters need to know about us to make their choice. Yet, in spite of this, I was excluded from debating with Lib Lab and Con who were coming later; and told to talk about the campaign alongside Will of the Green Party.

Actually it was very pleasant to meet Will who is very likeable and amazingly, since UKIP thinks Climate Change alarmism is dangerous nonsense and Will clearly thinks it very important, we did find a few common points. One was that the other three parties were the same and at least we offered the electorate a choice - in his case he said, really green policies instead of sham ones - in my case the only party offering to cut down the size of the state.

Anyway the BBC wanted to film us staring into a window with balloons and party stuff so they could say we were being shut out of the main parties' party.

I can't understand why we should want to show ourselves this way. IT is after all the BBC who were shutting us out this evening. THey are making the story and have their own predefined ideas. I thought journalists should find stories, not make them. Badly done, BBC.

At least its better than the other day when they said they would film me if I found a horse and supported fox hunting - I turned that one down as totally irrelevant to Stourbridge. They were asking, by the way, because Labour wanted a class war story. Why are they so pro-Labour?
