#398* – Farage’s Supporters Call On Him To Resign
Clean EUkip up NOW & make UKIP electable!
The corruption of some of EUkip’s leadership
& NEC is what gives the remaining 10%
a bad name!
Clearly Farage’s Supporters Call On Him To Resign Sooner Rather Than Later!
Hi,
Harold James sent the following letter to Nigel Farage in February.
Harold James has clearly finally become aware of the facts regarding Nigel Farage and in the best interests of The Party has written this well meaning, if rather naive, letter to Farage – sadly I very much doubt that Farage will have the integrity to act on the advice and it is unlikely that Harlod James could muster the support willing to risk speaking out.
Clearly few will speak out or the party would never have been so dishonestly led into such a catastrophic mess. The well funded Faragista Fan Club are after all merely Farage’s fully funded praise singers and few would have the ethics to risk their leftovers from the gravy train – They will lie to protect thei income stream as with the likes of Malcolm Wood and sadly it seems Trevor Colman – who is seemingly to concerned for his income stream to have the integrity to tell the truth.

Dear Nigel
As already advised, I went along to the UK Renewal Association Limited meeting in Swindon on the 7th February.
I attach a copy of the programme to which there were very minor – but not significant – amendments.
I told Bruce Lawson that I would like to have an opportunity to speak. That I would be pressing for any action to be delayed until after the 4th June because, otherwise, there would be very severe damage to the UKIP image before the electorate and therefore the end result. That so far as the public are concerned, we have already have a leader who is recognised.
Including the panel there were about 50 people present and I found myself a lone voice.
I did not pull my punches or mince my words.
It was very evident that there was a great deal of animosity towards you personally. This ran from absolute hatred down to total mistrust. From the programme and the speakers, you can no doubt readily identify the worst offenders.
I said that at the Exeter Hustings I had assured you of my total support, that I would go through hell and high water for you but always retain the right to take issue with you on any matter. That this had happened. That I had always received the utmost courtesy from you and that I had no problem with you. Perhaps the difference between me and the antagonists on the panel (and within the hall generally) is that there was no need for you to look over your shoulder at what I may be up to.
I am very pleased to say that at the end of the meeting I seemed to have won over all the dissenters and there was a commitment from everybody to use their best endeavours to further the cause of UKIP in the European Parliamentary Elections and with a view to securing the best possible result.
On the issue of yourself as leader I did state that a leader needed to be a good orator, charismatic and inspirational and from what I heard from the panel to the point of time when I spoke, I had seen none of these qualities displayed.
My endorsement and support for you was held up to ridicule. Why. My answer very simple. You had been democratically elected as Leader of the Party. I believe strongly in democracy and until such time as you were replaced democratically, that would continue. That I could not see anyone else on the horizon who could remotely take your place within the Party and become, to the people at large, Mr UKIP. Reference was made to the fact you seemed to be very reluctant for any of our other members to have a public image.
Much comment was made, which I heartily endorsed – the Country comes before Party. I would add that the Party becomes before the leader and by the same token the Party also comes before any other individual or groups of individuals.
There was strong reference to the need to have the Party fully represented in this Country. Heavy questions as to whether we needed MEPs. I put a strong case for needing the MEPs and drew attention to what they had achieved and particular as regards the Irish Referendum. However, I found myself in sympathy with – and can certainly endorse – the idea of the strong representation in Brussels and also this Country.
For some time I have been advocating that MEPs should not have any voting rights on the NEC but would be entitled to attend and be present as individuals but with no voting rights. I stand by this and would like to see the two tier structure of the Party – in Europe and in this Country.
It is obvious that you do not command the support of a lot of the senior people in the Party. After the meeting I did speak to some of the leading antagonists and I said that I would write to you in the following terms:-
That I thought the time had come for you to make preparation to retire as leader of UKIP.
That this was KEPT UNDER WRAPS until after 4th June.
That the announcement was made in advance of the 2009 Annual Conference or perhaps even at the Conference but that you may find this very difficult.
That there would be a strong case for having a new leader elected, recognised – in both the Party and the Country – in advance of the next Annual Conference.
There had been a lot of criticism of you personally, linked to certain happenings and events. Also against other MEPs, with John Whittaker and Godfrey Bloom particularly mentioned.
I personally will always value the opportunity to have supported you.
Thanking you for the tremendous amount of work you have done both for the Party and the country and I would hope that the passage of time will enable even your strongest antagonists to reflect and appreciate this point.
I am sure that you will take this letter in the spirit in which it is written and that we will retain our very good relationship.
I am sending a copy of this letter to Bruce Lawson.
I believe in total openness. I have always considered that what people see of me is what I am and I dare to believe that the decision by everyone present to fully support the 4th June Campaign resulted from my total openness and frankness.
Perhaps I can consider that I have saved the party’s European campaign. Who knows, I may be able to claim – if you accept my recommendations regarding your retirement as leader – to have also saved the Party.
Yours very sincerely
Harold James
End of letter.
Harold James did not win over his whole audience to his point of view, as has been confirmed by several members who were present at the meeting.
We are reliably informed thast Farage was so impressed by Harold James’ letter when he received it that his comments were such that it would be unseemly to publish them here and nor can the volume be adequately simulated!!!
I trust that Harold James was aware of the attention such a style of praise would bring! It would be sad to think that Harold James had acted in the belief that Farage would have the maturity to take the advice given and the education and good breeding to thanj
I have agreed with Junius to post this on his blog at about the same time as I and that he would put it onto what was EUkip Forum during the afternoon as the traffic there would indicate that the majority of participants were reading and posting from their place of work.
Although Harold James has clearly got the message I do question whether EUkip has or should have a future that can lead them as far as the elections on 4th. June, as none but the most befouled could possibly think that a vote for EUkip was other than contrary to the best interests of these United Kingdoms. To permit EUkip to go forward soliciting votes is to risk having two or three EUkip MEPs elected and the informed are all too well aware there is no one of callibre sufficient to represent Britain amongst ALL those fronting lists at this time and Farage has shown himself to be unfit and unsound as leader during the course of his past self enriching drunken reveries in that office!
TO LEAVE THE EU
What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.
Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.
The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU’s CAP – In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!
To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we leave our children and the future, with shame!

Greg L-W.

PLEASE POST THIS TAG AS FOLLOWS:ON YOUR eMAILS & BLOGS, FORUM POSTINGS & MAILINGS – GET THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE IT IS OUR BEST HOPE AS WHOEVER IS APPOINTED WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AS PROVED!
I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
