I was intrigued to see this news item just after the Euro elections. The Daily Telegraph of the 12th June stated that Ukip leader Nigel Farage had unwittingly become the star of a mobile ad campaign for Europe’s largest infidelity dating site
Part of the charm of Nigel Farage is that he cultivates the Jack the Lad image. Like others (e.g. Boris Johnson) he is a clever man who occasionally plays the fool. Behaviour which is unacceptable is laughed off- but papering over the cracks can only go so far.
Victoria Milan is apparently specially designed for men and woman who are currently in a relationship but seek some excitement and spice on the side through a discreet flirt or affair.
It would be difficult to see any member of the mainstream parties being associated with such an organisation

Shallow Puddles
We’ve recently taken out a subscription to the Spectator.
One of the joys of this magazine is the weekly competition and at the beginning of the month readers were invited to invent proverbs that sound profound but have no meaning (although if you search hard enough you can find meaning in everything). The best entries contained just the promise of profound meaning. Thus my favourite is “the shallow puddle floods no meadows”. Other enigmatic sayings to commit to memory and use again are:
When you don’t know where you are going , every route is a shortcut.
The overcoat of deceit will not deter the lizard of oblivion.
Beware the bridge that stops halfway across.
A chiropodist will not remember you by the colour of your eyes.
Watch this space for shallow puddle usage
