Hi,
IN LINE WITH OUR POLICY OF ACCURACYI am happy to publish the claim that drawing attention to an article in a registered press outlet I may have, as with 1,000s of others, been misled
After receiving what seems to be something of a rant from someone claiming to be Anna-Marie Crampton which reads as follows:
>>>>Comments written in my name – false. UKIP candidate. CC Election, May 2, 2013
Hi, here is an error for you. I DID NOT write the comments i was accused of by the press and others yourselves included, a vicious character, researcher for The Argus by name Colin Corbus is behind this i believe, and others, and fortunately, underestimated the intelligence of voters, colleagues, friends, family and so on who recognised immediately, that i (aimed at UKIP) was the victim of dirty tricks aimed at quieting me, scaring me and even possibly endangering me, to maintain the status quo and discredit UKIP from the left, right and/or the EU… Clearly they were worried indeed about UKIPs impact and possibly mine too. What they did do was take comments i had made about Zionism as a political movement and twisted, distorted and added to them, having created a ghost FB account (i had no idea existed even till a colleague noticed it). It is not repeat NOT anti semitic to take a view about Zionism as a political movement. Period. Do your research. It is propaganda to suggest otherwise. I have not read your unpleasant comments about me being anti semitic nor will i but, i am informed they are libellous. FYI. Had UKIPs Press Office handled this as they should have more professionally (possibly due to inexperience) and told me that The Argus were about to go to print with libellous “stuff” i was alleged to have written but which rather, was written in my name, which they did NOT incidentally,, then i could have given The Argus my side of the story… they were waiting to hear from me.. only i had been told by UKIP NOT to speak to the press, that the PO would deal with any/all enquiries about candidates of which i was one (originally just paper and my UKIP colleague Sonia Finch and i did not get going as full candidates until late into the campaign). Little did i know what had been written, i knew NOTHING of it… Later, the BBC, Courier and even the nationals gave me a chance to speak up and printed my denial. They in fact, all came to my home to interview me at length which i was happy to do. I did not seek out all this publicity, far from it, but, i had no choice but to deal with it. Since then, my phone line has been tapped, my FB and Twitter are being monitored (I have now closed down my Twitter) and frankly, though i have weathered this vicious attack upon my good name with dignity, helped not least by the full support i have received from my (UKIP) branch at Wealden for which i am most grateful, is it any wonder i have thought long and hard about ever putting myself forward as a candidate again in order to try to support and help my community or country ever again. No wonder so few quality candidates come forward (often women) to stand when as soon as they put their heads above the parapet they are subjected to such venom. Thus, the EU remains in tact and the agenda for a socialist and federalist State of Europe remains too… I have no idea why you are so against UKIP… they aren’t perfect, they have made some mistakes it seems, but, at grassroots level we remain committed to helping our communities and country, by giving local people their power back, referendums at local level, reducing expenditure and so forth. Despite all attempts to discredit me, i went on (along with my UKIP colleague Sonia Finch) to do very well at the CC Election beating both the pro EU parties Labour and Lib Dems by a mile. There is currently a full investigation underway by the police. Thank you.
