Easier to check a bunch of collated facts with associated clues then survey all the statements made in every medium every week.

But surely UKIP and its members never lie anyway, so it wouldn't matter?

Never pass up the chance for a sneer, eh?
Still it shows we are starting to make progress, doesn't it?

A sneer? Hardly a sneer. A poke perhaps, but not a sneer.

And a sneer is a mark of progress? Perhaps, but as a career path its hardly "up", is it.

This from a man who blamed the EU for Cyprus's woes when in reality if it were not for about £8billion of EU money injected into Cyprus banks months ago, Cyprus would have no banks left..

I am afraid with judgement like that... progress = going backwards

I suspect given the focus on Michelle Bachman that the detector may start from an at mildly Democrat standpoint.

OTOH some of the free market revolutionaries stuff about over regulation stiffling enterprise and the benefits of trickledown are easy to debunk.
