The Facts, that Patrick O’Flynn was seemingly bought and paid for and thus The Express coverage of UKIP was wholly unreliable, Were Published Here Ages Ago – Do Tell The Independent, who seem to be playing catch up through their own blogger!

Hi,
those of you who are regular readers of this blog in the media will realise that this blog published the facts regarding Patrick O’Flynn’s personal interests in becoming an MEP several weeks ago.
This probably explained, as noted at the time, why The Express, for whom he claims to be a political editor, carried totally biased articles believed to be published in exchange for a leading position as a candidate for the lucrative opportunities of candidacy as an MEP!
The Independent has finally had the courage to report this, watering down the duplicity of his ‘reportage’ in The Express in return for a chance of a seat on the EU gravy train and the opportunities of wealth that go with it that far outstrip the income of a leading journalist!
Even now The Independent did not choose to actually report the facts posted long ago on this blog but chose to let them leak out via one of their blog contributors!
I found this interesting, possibly because I know Patrick O’Flynn, chief political commentator for the Daily Express, and like him. He has joined UKIP and hopes to stand for the European Parliament in next year’s elections. Here is the video of his speech this morning to the party’s South East region, introduced by Nigel Farage (O’Flynn starts at 26 minutes in).
But I think it is interesting anyway as an insight into UKIP and the way its members think.
O’Flynn talks about the referendum on our EU membership, which he thinks will happen, but he recognises that it is a huge challenge for those who want Britain to leave.
He has decided to switch from being an observer to a participant because he does not want to say to his grandchildren, about the referendum: “I’m sorry, we lost and I could have done more.”
Then he likens UKIP’s quest to that of Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring. He compares Herman Van Rompuy to Gollum and says UKIP’s cause is just as “noble” as that of Frodo and Gandalf.
This is “not about Little England, it’s about Great Britain”, he says.
Or it’s about a fictional realm called Middle-earth.

Clearly it is not, as I have reported previously, just cash that buys seats on UKIP’s prospective MEP lists, making a mockery of democracy and showing why the centralised authority of UKIP’s leader and his ability to juggle the lists to suit his personal interests shows just how unfit for public responsibility UKIP is and how unfit for purpose UKIP are to lead the fight to Leave-The-EU – they don’t even hold British values of fair play and yet again show just how odious are their practices should they ever gain any relevance in British politics!
