Priti Patel, just below, devoted two years of her life to working for Jimmy Goldsmith’s loony Referendum Party. But UKIP, she says, is “completely different”. Another A-Lister who campaigned for the Referendum Party was Zac Goldsmith, who worked for his dad in Putney in 1997 — and he has admitted to voting UKIP, too. (It’d probably be too much to hope that someone on the A-List has a background with Veritas.)
(Oh, and I liked the Guardian‘s description of Goldsmith as “an old Etonian, poker-playing plutocrat who runs a play farm funded from daddy’s inheritance in Devon.”)
