All too often a symptom of a weak and venal leadership seeking to obfuscate the truth leaving concerned members to invent their own interpretations!
May I suggest if YOU wish to confirm the veracity of any rumour or claim you may hear that you check with this blog.
Clearly it is not in our interest to publish anything but the truth as the aim is to:
CLEAN UP UKIP TO MAKE IT ELECTABLE!

Hi,
yesterday afternoon I was mailed this by a contact who hoped I could pass it on to Junius:
I have been told by an ex-member who lives a long way away from me that ROBIN PAGE attended either the last NEC or a very recent one to put his case…….
Junius needs to ask questions of honest folk on this one.
My contact has always been honest, and is very hurt/damaged by the Farage + cabal.
The person has never ‘gilded the lilly’ , if information is wrong someone has cleverly duped this person.
Is there a gradual move to bring some back ? Does NF seek money / influence ?
Derek Clark will oppose this, he started the ‘shit list’ as Party Secretary and keeps his own records on this; working assisuously to maintain and grow it. He actually let slip (unusual for him; as he virtually always maintained a sulkly sort of grumbling growling silence ) at an EMCC around winter 05/06 in an unusual sort of wild eyed rant about his own role in setting it up/maintaining it himself.
Even innocent ordinary members who fell for the RKS charms ( mostly E.Mids) have never been allowed back as Clark saw to the purge/deniel of membership renewel. That included 2 significient donors to his 04 victory.
As is my won’t I felt I should check the facts before I passed it on as it might well just be malicious gossip or factually untrue.
I am glad that I did not pass it on as fact to one of the Junius team.
Though there may be a smattering of truth the main item is unmittigated bunkum.
I have bothered to flag this up as this level of tittle tattle can be damaging to individuals.
I have checked with Robin Page this evening and he has asked me to advise any genuine EUroRealists that there is absolutely no truth in the claims as related to him.
No approach has been made to him by any NEC member and he has NOT been asked to rejoin the party or attend an NEC meeting.
Robin is mystified as to the purpose of this mischievous claim.
He has further stated that as early stated in this blog he WAS approached by Malcolm Pearson whilst UKFirst Party was still functioning with a request to amalgamate or rejoin UKIP, Robin declined the overture – but then again Malcolm Pearson was also involved with talks with The Jury Party and other non events and even advocated that UKIP supporters should support his chums in The Tory Party rather than support UKIP.
Malcolm Pearson not only proved to be a treacherous weak and self serving liar but a political buffoon.
Robin Page has made it abundantly clear that he has no desire to be associated with the corruption in UKIP as manifest by individuals like David Bannerman, Nigel Farage, Stuart Agnew and others – perhaps there are some UKIP members who have still not read Robin Page’s many column inches in the media making his position abundantly clear.
You are at liberty to check the FACTS for yourself.
You will also note that Robin Page spoke recently at a small UKIP meeting, against his better judgement, for Martin Harvey as a personal favour and as a friend of both Martin and his sister, of long standing. To avoid embroillment in the ‘political’ angst of UKIP you will note Robin left immediately after he had spoken.
I trust this clarifies the facts and puts paid to what would seem to have been a mischievous and unchecked rumour, that I have quashed as we have no way of knowing how wide was the distribution!
