THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

UKIP and BNP like Dad's Army
http://www.phill.co.uk/comedy/dadsarmy/char.html
The Europhile liberals are Hitler and the Germans, but perhaps you can match each Dad's Army character to its Eurosceptic equivalent?
The ARP Warden is Nick Griffin, Private Joe Walker is Nigel Farage, the Vicar is Archbishop Cranmer. When I am in charge of the united Eurosceptic movement after the BNP-UKIP anschluss I will try to avoid becoming like Captain Mainwaring and do better ... Is Dan Hannan Pike?
