I guess we should not be surprised with the caliber of parasites surrounding the failed & discreditted leadership!

Hi,
Ukip make fools of themselves yet again with their unpleasant official smear attempts!
UKIP hits back at attack by its former leader
By Martin Banks – 19th May 2011
It is a disappointment that the party has not capitalised on its past successesFormer UKIP leader Roger KnapmanUKIP has angrily dismissed allegations that the party is split over possible plans for a new pan-European party.
The claims were made by Roger Knapman, a former UKIP party leader.
He said he had been recently approached on the issue by several “unhappy” UKIP MEPs.
Knapman, who led the party from 2002 to 2006, said, “It is a disappointment that the party has not capitalised on its past successes and does not seem to be moving forward electorally.
“At the time when UKIP should be pressing for a referendum on our continued membership of the EU, and highlighting the extreme costs of that membership, the party leadership seems besotted with the idea that we should join an unsuitable pan-European grouping that would mean we become part of the problem rather than part of the solution.”
Knapman, a former Tory MP and party whip, added, “I hope that the leadership will listen to these MEPs, and to the party membership, and reassess its priorities.”
However, a UKIP spokesman rubbished the comments, telling this website, “The fact is that UKIP has improved its position electorally.
“At the recent local elections in the UK, the number of votes for UKIP increased substantially.”
He said that UKIP “remains committed” to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, a policy it is able to pursue within the political group it currently occupies in parliament.
He added, “Such comments from a discredited figure like Roger Knapman should be discounted for what they are: complete rubbish.”

UKIP does itself huge damage with this sort of endless attack on any supporter, including their ex leader, when clearly they are wrong.
The statement has all the hallmarks of a business failure with no feel for the job or people either a child or a Management Consultant – Castratti at either end of the harmonic!
Roger Knapman led the party from 3 MEPs to 12 and a massive increase in membership to 30,000.
Nigel Farage has led the party to the largest loss of seats in any election – the membership of the party down to 10,000 realistically which is starting to climb once more and to 9 MEPs currently loyal to his leadership with several teatering on the verge of departure.
UKIP are currently squabbling like ferrets in a sack as is clear for all to see – it is just one long amateur hour for rather unpleasant liars and bullies.
To claim that UKIP is NOT divided over the odious concept of being subsumed into Pan EU Political Parties to oblige and assist The EU in the advance of diminution of National status and values is assinine beyond belief.
Perhaps the spokesman is without ANY intelligence and has not read the two oposing debates in the in house propaganda comic nor on the members only Forum nor even on the UKIP web site.
Promoting the concept is the liar and cheat Mick McGough and the discreditted fraudster Stuart Agnew MEP whilst opposing the motion is Prof. Tim Congdon and Trevor Colman MEP.
‘Oh what a tangled web they weave ………..’
Indeed in their ‘deception’ they do need practice as they look no less than stupid in their disarray and lies, squabbling and incompetence!
