He’d be an improvement on the dross that currently “work” in the houses of parliament 
Love the pub landlord persona - always has me laughing! UKIP`s response shows a level of good natured wit too.
Another silver-spoon twit who seems to delight in mocking working-class folk.
Murray was born at Stewkley, Buckinghamshire, only son of Lieutenant Colonel Ingram Bernard Hay Murray (a great-great-great-great-grandson of John Murray, 3rd Duke of Atholl, who married Charlotte, Baroness Strange), and Juliet Anne Thackeray, née Ritchie (a great-great-granddaughter of William Makepeace Thackeray).[2] His grandfather, the diplomat Sir Ralph Murray,[3] was of Scottish nobility and married into the von Kuenburg family,[4] aristocrats from Austria.
Murray was educated at Bedford School before going up to St Edmund Hall, Oxford, graduating with the degree of MA in Modern History. At Oxford he performed in the comedy group, the Oxford Revue in a show directed by Stewart Lee.[5]

Assuming he is seriously going to stand and going by the stated title and reference to the use of similar logo it seems like another establishment trick to sabotage the UKIP vote.

No!!
The whole point of Alastair James Hay Murray standing against Nigel Farage in South Thanet is that Murray is a member of the class which has most benefited from the policies which UKIP oppose.
As a resident of the South Thanet constituency myself, I don’t think Mr Farage has too much to worry about with Murray standing, in fact this could be Murray’s “Kenny Everett” moment, Everett’s career finishing overnight after he appeared at a Young Conservatives rally to express his support for the Blessed Margaret, something which came as a bit of a surprise to 99% of his fans.
I too found that factsheet to be rather disappointing, Harry - perhaps if our Nige was made aware of Murray`s somewhat privileged upbringing, he could apply his trademark devastating oratory skills to great advantage. Al may well be a slick talker, but can he hold his own without the cushion of pre-scripted and thought out responses? I doubt he could hold a candle to our man in a live debate - even the mainstream boys are baulking at the prospect!!
I like the pub landlord but it just shows us another champagne socialist who derides working class worries as xenophobia.

I agree with this.
It’s not even that it’s just working class worries. It’s the modern day university class who think because they have been to dusty book institutions reading theoretical diversity and inclusion they understand how the world works, unlike us plebeians who are only worthy of tutting ridicule because we don’t know better.
Freight Dog:
But I’ve not been to university and some shouty mouth liberal who’s read the Guardian every day, yet never dirtied his or her shoes beyond the leafy grounds of Middlesex will call me a bigot so I better shut my gob. It’ll happen then people will wake up too late when it inevitably affects them in 10-20 years. I have to speak in vague terms for obvious reasons.
Less than 10-20 years…
I read recently about a University hall of residence which faced a call centre. The students made a large sign which they erected in a window, it read “Ha ha, you work in a call centre!”
The next day a sign appeared in the call centre window- “See you in three years!”

hahaha-
when i left school in 1990 i did a bricklaying apprenticeship(i also did a further year called advanced craft-all the fancyarsed bullseyes and spirals etc)
when i’d qualified and had my city and guilds i worked on a large site near to where i live,earning decent money but it was quite easy. my hod carrier/labourer worked his ■■■■ off and was getting less than half what i was earning,he was a bloody university graduate that couldnt get a job doing anything else.he used to hate it when i reminded him (every day) that he would have been better off learning to lay bricks
