UKIP Gets First London Councillor – Tories Connecting with blue collar workers

I see that UKIP has its first elected London councillor last night in Havering. I cannot say that I read anything into it and for that matter I cannot say that I know where Havering is. Is it a real place? Whatever. I note that the Tories came a dismal third. Much has been made of how Call Me Dave needs to reconnect with blue collar voters.

Without wishing to sound like a bit of an inverse snob I just note how Dave’s standard bearer as he appeals to working class folk in Havering was a Mr Marcus Christian Sebastian Llewellyn-Rothschild. I wonder which grim council estate he grew up on?
