#0424* – What Would Thomas JEFFERSON Have Thought of UKIP?

One would not expect a man of his stature in a small party but surely one has a right to expect every senior member to aspire to his standards!!

Hi,
as I learned many years ago it is essential when taking a public stance as when one writes a blog or articles in the media to ensure that everything one publishes is accurate, informative, provable and fact.
It is sad that UKIP have not learned this lesson and thus they are just not trusted – how can one gather together a claque of self serving low lifes willing to lie, cheat, abuse and defame and then still expect the public to support you?
I appreciate a percentage of the public CAN be duped by a party like UKIP but UKIP seem not to realise just how relentless an enemy one makes when one lies to gain support and then attacks people who dare to question!
Thomas Jefferson understood this all too well but UKIP has never learned the lesson and has thus made, of some of its most active supporters, implacable enemies CLICK HERE & follow the links!

“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.”
UKIP quite clearly has a small army of parasites ever willing to bring UKIP into disrepute by their comments and their behaviour – frequently of a vile, ill informed and dishonest nature, hidden by cowards behind anonymity – such as:
Independent UKIP
Skeptyk
Gothmog (William Shaw)
Baron von Lotsov
etc.
or those with no reputation for honesty or integrity worth protecting – such as:
Mick McGough
Douglas Denny
Mark Croucher
Gawain Towler
Annabelle Fuller
Derek Clark
etc.
Sadly the list is long and is a measure of the suitability of UKIP in terms of responsibility and election.
Unless UKIP is cleaned-up and probity, morality, transparency and honesty are held as virtues they are not worthy of a single vote – we can have liars, cheats, fiddlers, fools and the self serving by voting for the 3 professional Parties who I grant are little better but at least they have experience and a structure!
It was said of America that its oldest tradition was its youth!
Sadly UKIP’s seeming ONLY attribute is a sham amateurism seemingly designed for the self agrandisement and enrichment of a small claque – Those best rewarded would seem to be those who are most willing to dissemble and dishonour the principles of the gullible and decent majority in the party.
UKIP’s tragedy is and has always been lack of competent leadership.
There is no doubt that UKIP have in Farage a huge asset but without competent management he all too frequently presents as a huge ass rather than asset.
Sadly UKIP has squandered this asset by making their performer their leader and it is clear he is NOT a leader – hence so very many of the individuals of competence, the activists and the intelligent have so very noticeably quit the party. This has left space for the corrupt, the dishonest, the self seekers and the sycophants and as a result the party is seen as a squabbling nest of vipers.
It is noted that even Stuart Wheeler clearly does not trust the leadership of the party and has put in place efforts to make them behave like adults and the most common claim as to why one should support UKIP is that they are the acceptable face of The BNP and Farage & Croucher made huge efforts to position the party as little more than an alternative to The BNP and a vote to teach Westminster a lesson for its allowances scams in the knowledge that UKIP would not gain a seat at Westminster!
May I submit Thomas Jefferson might well have been commenting on UKIP when he said:
“If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy. … I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.”
