This video report was made available to broadcasters by the European Parliament. Intro: "The southern English town of Salisbury, population forty-five thousand, is as traditional as you get. White. Wealthy. Conservative. Ageing, and a stronghold of UKIP, Britain's anti-EU party. It wants Britain out of the European Union, and is actively seeking eurosceptic allies in the European Parliament to increase its influence after this summer's European elections. When UKIP's leader Nigel FARAGE comes to speak at the Guildhall, he's mostly preaching to the converted, even if many here would be horrified by the company FARAGE is aiming to keep in Europe, mostly fringe parties on the extreme right of the political spectrum. FARAGE is slick and funny, even if some of what he claims isn't supported by fact."
