.

More Media Coverage Of apparent Ukip Corruption, dishonesty and underhand dealing – with or without Police collusion!
Yet another example of the vile MO of Ukip.

.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
I find it quite surprising that the MoS chooses to overlook the fact that the media announced some weeks ago that Annabelle Fuller was under investigation by the police, the MoS themselves if I recall correctly,
In the light of the facts published (at long last) by The Times and other sources, one is clearly at liberty to wonder if corrupt police were involved and were deliberately delaying justice; as surely Annabelle Fuller’s admitted theft of Andrew Bridgen’s Blackberry phone device, confidential correspondence and his House of Commons pass must surely be not only a simple theft that could be acted on rapidly but a security matter that thus becomes of some urgency!
How come Annabelle Fuller has not been arrested and charged with the theft after such a long period? Is this justice delayed is justice denied, as is so often the case, or a matter of deliberate police efforts to cover up a crime or trump up a crime on behalf of Ukip as would seem the case in the prosecution of Jasna Badzak and Nikki Sinclaire both of which seemingly depend on the thinest of evidence supplied by Ukip themselves either by members, officers or funded staff!
Setting aside the factor of Annabelle Fuller’s relationship with Nigel Farage, which is widely believed to have been intimate over a long period, she has a long and established record as an intimate of Nigel Farage’s prepared to lie and cheat on his behalf, willing to indulge in criminality for him and of a particularly offensive nature.
Annabelle Fuller also has a track record of supplying the media with at best imaginitive stories though they seem to be more plausible as attention seeking or outright dishonesty and her admitted mental instability and self harming are a matter of public record, as is Nigel Farage’s willingness to lie on her behalf, in her defence.
You may well remember I published on this blog that the vaguely foolish Hermann Kelly had threatened a senior Ukip member and a journalist, in a public restaurant, should they dare to publish the fact that Annabelle Fuller was Nigel Farage’s mistress – at which stage the senior Ukip member told him not to make a fool of himself as such an action would bankrupt the party if they chose to publish the facts.
This conversation was made in a public place – a foolish attempt to bully a journalst and his contact in public! Not disimilar to eMails and letters threatening people who might expose Ukip’s corruption, as sent by Ukip members and the police! One need only glance at comments made about Richard North, Jasna Badzak, Nikki Sinclaire, John West, Richard Suchorzewski, Niall Warry myself and many others by such as Mark Croucher, Douglas Denny, Derek Clark, Mick McGough and others, including gullible non entities seemingly making comments based on apparent Ukip scripts based upon very distorted facts!
Again and again this sort of behaviour emanates from Ukip, showing clearly they act in self interest and are as such unfit for purpose failing to act in a manner fitting for their office and duty representing the electorate, all be it a minority of the electorate!

Police accused of bid to shut down MoS investigation of Ukip… as Murdoch sues Scotland Yard for ‘hacking journalists’ emails

  • A Former Ukip official received a harassment warning for talking to MoS
  • About Annabelle Fuller making claims about Andrew Bridgen
  • Detectives were thought to be preparing to speak to Ukip’s Nigel Farage 

A leading Tory MP has called on Boris Johnson to investigate claims that Scotland Yard officers have abused their position by trying to shut down newspaper investigations into Ukip.

Zac Goldsmith made the demand after a former Ukip official received a harassment warning for talking to The Mail on Sunday about her claims an alleged ‘former mistress’ of Ukip leader Nigel Farage had fabricated a sexual assault case against a fellow Tory MP.

Police are investigating Jasna Badzak’s allegation that Annabelle Fuller falsely accused Andrew Bridgen of inappropriately touching her at his Westminster flat in 2011.

The call for an investigation comes as Rupert Murdoch launches legal action against Scotland Yard for ‘hacking’ thousands of journalists emails. 

The MP for North West Leicestershire, who denied wrong-doing, was arrested but no charges were brought. Ms Badzak, 43, who used to work as a Ukip press officer, says she has given the police details of messages she exchanged with Ms Fuller about the incident.

But when this newspaper spoke to Ms Badzak last month about a new development in the case – that detectives were planning to question Mr Farage after establishing that Ms Fuller had made phone calls to the Ukip leader on the evening she was in Mr Bridgen’s flat – Ms Badzak was warned off.

Ms Badzak was issued with a ‘Prevention of Harassment’ letter by a Met officer, Detective Sergeant Gordon McKay, on the grounds the conversation had led to Ms Fuller being ‘subjected to numerous phone calls and emails’. The Mail on Sunday sent three emails to Ms Fuller prior to printing our story to clarify the details. When asked what she had said on the phone to Mr Farage on the night in question, Ms Fuller replied: ‘Are you now a police officer?’

Ex-party spin doctor Ms Fuller, 32, was described as Farage’s ‘former mistress’ under Parliamentary privilege in Strasbourg earlier this year by Nikki Sinclaire, a former Ukip MEP. Mr Farage and Ms Fuller strongly deny an affair and Ms Fuller has since stopped working for the party.

Mr Goldsmith, the MP for Richmond Park, who wrote to Mr Johnson on Thursday about the case – as the Mayor he has ultimate oversight of Scotland Yard – said he was concerned by claims officers could have been abusing their office. On Friday, former Tory MP Louise Mensch submitted two criminal complaints about the alleged conduct of officers. Her move came after she learned that another serving officer at the Met had warned two reporters – who had contacted Ukip MEP Gerard Batten to ask about his alleged links to far-Right organisations – against publishing articles ‘deemed to be untruthful and concerning’.

It seems to be an abuse of the criminal law to prevent citizens talking to journalists 
Tory MP Louise Mensch 

Last night a friend of Mr Bridgen said: ‘Andrew was approached by the police as a result of new information provided by Jasna Badzak regarding false allegations made about him by Annabelle Fuller in June 2011. Andrew is extremely concerned by the pace of the investigation into Ms Fuller’s apparent perverting the course of justice.’

Ms Fuller said: ‘I reported Jasna Badzak to the police over her continued harassment of me which started when she made false allegations about me.’

Ms Mensch said: ‘It seems to be an abuse of the criminal law to prevent citizens talking to journalists.’

The row has come amid growing concern over the use of police surveillance powers against journalists. A report published last week by the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee said the laws were not ‘fit for purpose’ and should be overhauled.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: ‘On November 1, police received an allegation of harassment. On November 15, a 43-year-old woman was issued with a 1st Instance Harassment Warning.’

News UK claims police ‘hacking’ of journalists emails was ‘revenge’ bid

Rupert Murdoch is suing Scotland Yard for ‘hacking’ into thousands of journalists’ emails – in what was last night dubbed as ‘revenge’ for the phone-hacking scandal.

The Metropolitan Police has arrested dozens of reporters working for the tycoon’s newspapers over plotting to listen in to celebrities’ voicemail messages, making payments to public officials and other crimes, with seven convicted this year.

But in an ironic twist, News UK is now taking Scotland Yard to court, claiming damages for breach of confidentiality. The company, previously known as News International, says the Met kept and searched through an archive of journalists’ emails dating back to 2004 – many of which may have contained sensitive information.

News UK voluntarily handed over emails to police as part of the probe into phone-hacking at the News of the World, in 2011.

It had a policy of deleting old emails automatically after a set period of time, although computer experts were able to find information dating back to around 2004 on 64 storage tapes. News UK says police accessed the data from this without agreement.

Murdoch’s lawyers want the data – still kept by Scotland Yard – to be returned, as well as damages for ‘breach of confidence’ by the Met.

A lawyer involved in the phone-hacking trials said last night: ‘It sounds like there is an element of Murdoch’s revenge about this.’

Both parties declined to comment on the civil case.

Ukip’s Only Hope May Be To Sack Gerard Batten

.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
the text of the article posted below does indicate clearly that a senior Ukip MEP, the racist and anti Islamic extremist Gerard Batten, colluded in corruption with one or more police officers.
That Gerard Batten was in breech of trust in an elected office and was in abuse of public office would now seem to be irrefutable – just as it would seem that he lied, or at best distorted the truth, with regard to a £2,500 fraud/theft that with the help of corrupt police was the cause of what seems increasingly to have been a mallicious prosecution of Jasna Badzak.
It could be advocated that these crimes could bring the collapse of Ukip, so rightly earned! At best abuse of public office seems to have taken place such that if Ukip were to remove Gerard Batten from office `they may well find even this does not exhonourate and thus save Ukip!.
Do not forget that Jasna Badzak is not the only one to have fallen foul of Gerard Batten and his corrupt police pals several others have too and it does look very clearly as if the claims made in the charges brought against Nikki Sinclaire are unsound and her case will be dismissed as unsound and no case to answer with public apologies and substantial compensation.
Several other people have been harrassed and false evidence produced by Ukip and their corrupt police pals and I am one of those as I was lied about by the odious little Gerard Batten and subsequently harrassed by the police as a result.
Many will remember Gerard Batten for his abuse4 of any concept of Justice when he colluded with the criminal Ukip MEP Derek Clarke to ‘fit up’ Peter Baker with a Kangaroo Court, presided over by the utterly corrupt Douglas Denny, ensuring Peter Baker was denied witnesses who absolutely exhonourated him and would have exposed the endemic dishonesty of Ukip.
You will be aware that Douglas Denny over many years rigged elections for Nigel Farage and invented lies for him also to keep him in office, yet when he became victim of his own tactics and was removed as a PPC for Ukip he bit the hand that had fed him his glory over all those years and in his resignation letter boasted of having evidence of Nigel Farage’s criminality!
Although Douglas Denny has stated he has evidence adequate to see Nigel Farage prosecuted for criminal behaviour Denny is in the difficult position that for many years he was involved in similar dishonesty. Now he is in the invidious position, of his own making, that he is clearly acting criminally by colluding in the cover up of crimes, by not reporting them to the authorities together with his evidence.
No amount of crassd bluster by Denny claiming he has been exhonourated by The Times for what he has told them is a bare faced lie and if he has received one cent in payment for his story he is further guilty of deliberately profitting from a crime!

Detective warned reporter not to investigate Ukip politician

Scotland Yard is investigating claims that a serving police officer perverted the course of justice by warning journalists against writing about the “political affairs” of a Ukip MEP.

Detective Constable Tony Holden sent an unsolicited email to two reporters from The Sunday Times and The Independent after they contacted Gerard Batten over the London MEP’s alleged links to far-right political organisations and proposed anti-Muslim policies, including banning halal meat.

Mr Holden, who was working on an unrelated fraud case brought by Mr Batten against a former employee, warned the journalists against publishing articles “deemed to be untruthful and concerning to” the Ukip politician.

The officer, a specialist in financial crime, wrote that “it has been bought [sic] to the attention of the Metropolitan Police” that the journalists had “been provided material by an unknown source concerning the political affairs of Mr Gerard Batten MEP”.

He cautioned that any articles linked to Mr Batten’s ex-employee, Jasna Badzak, who at the time was awaiting trial for fraud, “may result in further arrests being made” and requested that the reporters “thoroughly check the sources of the information, prior to contacting either Mr Batten or going to press”. He copied Mr Batten’s private email address into the correspondence.

One of the journalists replied to Mr Holden, saying that he considered the email to be an attempt to warn him off writing about the MEP and a “potential abuse of office”. The journalist also emailed Mr Batten, asking for an explanation. Mr Batten appears to have forwarded the email to Mr Holden, saying: “Dear Tony, very sorry to bother you with this. Please see the exchange of messages below.”

Mr Holden’s extraordinary intervention is one of several instances of alleged police misconduct said to have been committed by four police officers and one ex-officer, all of which are under investigation by the Metropolitan police’s serious misconduct investigation unit.

The claims relate to Ms Badzak, who was convicted of fraud in October last year after a jury found that she had doctored a bank statement and borrowed £3,000 from Mr Batten on the false pretence that she had not been paid by the European parliament. Ms Badzak has since campaigned against her conviction, alleging that police officers in the case acted improperly.

The IPCC, the independent police regulator, said in July that it was “concerned” about her complaints and referred them to Scotland Yard, which is investigating them.

The unit will also examine why Ms Badzak was told on two occasions that the officers about whom she complained did not exist.

“The officers you have named as being officers of the Metropolitan Police Service are not officers with the MPS,” a police sergeant wrote. “I have thoroughly interrogated all MPS systems and cannot find any trace of the officers.”

The officer repeated this claim in July last year and it was only disclosed to Ms Badzak in April this year that they were serving Met officers.

Last night a Metropolitan police spokesman said that “it is not possible for us to explain how this mistake was made” and that the officer who made the mistake is “on a career break”.

Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors, said that he was shocked by Mr Holden’s email. “It shows that there is something seriously amiss within the police when officers feel that they can interfere with the legitimate work of journalists,” he said. “That is the stuff of totalitarian states.”

Ms Badzak has also raised concerns that police officers have used the criminal law in an attempt to prevent her from talking to journalists. In November, she received a formal harassment warning for “providing information . . . of a false nature” to a journalist at The Mail on Sunday. The warning stated that she had provided “false” information concerning Annabelle Fuller, a former press aide to Nigel Farage, which had caused Ms Fuller to be “subjected to numerous phone calls and emails”.

The Times understands that Ms Badzak did not call the journalist — he called her to check information given to him by another source. Ms Fuller is under police investigation for allegedly making false claims of sexual assault.

Louise Mensch, a former Conservative MP, submitted two criminal complaints yesterday via a senior officer in the Metropolitan police, complaining about the alleged conduct of officers in Ms Badzak’s case.

“It is clear to me that substantial police misconduct may have been committed,” Ms Mensch said.

The Tory MP David Davis said that “the public should know whether this was an authorised intervention in the operation of a free press and if so who authorised it [and] what the basis for it was”.

A Met spokeswoman said: “On 25 April, 2014, a woman made a number of complaints against MPS police officers.”

She added: “The matter is currently being investigated by the Directorate of Professional Standards. No police officer has been suspended or placed on restricted duties at this stage.”

Another Ukip Candidate Dumped For Nigel Farage – Well it is his personal fiefdom, banker and vehicle for ‘glory’, as he hands out jobs to drinking chums and lady friends, sycophants and his claque, often on inflated incomes.

.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,
yet again it seems Nigel Farage chucks out a long term Ukip candidate, selected by the local constituency party, in favour of HIS chum parachuted in to be the candidate of HIS party – more often than not some drinking buddy with a Tory background.
Ukip is, it seems, controlled with all the finesse of the old style Soviet Polit Bureaux with Kangaroo Court show trials, fixers, pals parachuted into office, political executions, corruption and extreme sycophancy – All totally without principles, ethics or any hint of democracy.
All carried out by a self serving leader who without any principles rewards his claque and runs his fiefdom with an iron fist forever blaming anyone but himself for his ineptitude and ensuring his fingerprints never appear on the murder weapons. Such as in the murder of Laventiy Beria and even the probable poisoning of Jo Stalin.
A role model for control followed by Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and now it seems Nigel Farage though in the latter case seemingly using and abusing others through his inept placement staff and abuse of the courts and ‘useful’ police supporters (no doubt party members likely to be ex BNP supporters).

Goggleboxgate: Ukip candidate’s fury as he is ousted from key seat for star of hit C4 show

  • Gogglebox’s Andrew Michael chosen as Hastings and Rye Ukip candidate
  • Ralph Atkinson claims he was kicked out in favour of the Channel 4 star
  • He vented his anger in a leaked email that was sent to local party members 
  • Also condemned Ukip’s policy of recruiting defecting Tories and celebrities

Nigel Farage was last night accused of recruiting ‘toffs for the top’ of Ukip after a candidate in a key target seat expressed fury that he had been ousted in favour of a star of the TV programme Gogglebox.

Andrew Michael, a wealthy, retired hotelier who features on the Channel 4 programme, has been parachuted in as Mr Farage’s candidate in Hastings and Rye, where the sitting Tory MP holds a wafer-thin majority.

Now the deposed candidate has given vent to his anger in a leaked email to local party members in which he condemns Ukip’s policy of recruiting defecting Tory MPs and celebrities. Ralph Atkinson calls on Ukip members to bombard Mr Farage with complaints about his treatment, and claims that his party boasts ‘standards of democracy lower than the unelected European Commission’.

Scroll down for video

The row has blown up just days before Mr Farage will be seen in an alcohol-fuelled encounter with two other stars of the hit show, in which viewers watch people watching television. 

Steph and Dom Parker have been filmed knocking back glasses of wine and champagne with Mr Farage for a TV special which ends with the Ukip leader falling over, smashing a glass and having to borrow a pair of his host’s trousers.

Row: Ralph Atkinson claims that he was kicked out in favour of Mr Michael. He has vented his anger in an email to local Ukip party members

Mr Michael, 55 – whose Gogglebox appearances with his wife Carolyne and two of their four children have included discussions about whether Ukip is racist – was selected for the seat last week shortly after Mr Atkinson was removed in a coup which he says was orchestrated by the party’s head office. 

In the email, seen by The Mail on Sunday, Mr Atkinson complains that he has ‘apparently been removed as Hastings & Rye Prospective Parliamentary Candidate’, and says sarcastically, in reference to the recent by-election victories of ex-Tories Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless: ‘Obviously potential candidates who have defected from the Conservatives will be preferred to long-term party members. This is in line with party policy which is to recruit more ‘‘toffs for the top’’ in order to win votes from the disenfranchised working-class voters, who exist in great numbers here’.

Mr Atkinson, a former Ukip spokesman on immigration, adds: ‘Any person wishing to complain in a civilised fashion about this situation should send to [he gives Mr Farage’s private email address].’

Hastings, which is held by Tory MP Amber Rudd with a majority over Labour of under 2,000, is number 54 on Ukip’s ‘hitlist’ of Conservative-held seats. Mr Michael is filmed for Gogglebox at his £1.5 million house, which, far from being in the Hastings constituency, is in Brighton. In one recent edition, Mr Michael, who is of Greek-Cypriot origin, discussed the alleged racism of Ukip’s ‘calypso’ song with his family. At one point his children laugh sarcastically: ‘Wouldn’t want anyone thinking Ukip is racist.’

And in another episode, Mr Michael’s wife Carolyne says: ‘That Mark Reckless is not exactly very charismatic is he?’ After Mr Michael agrees, she adds: ‘I think if you were a donkey and you had the Ukip rosette on, they would vote for you.’

Favoured: Mr Atkinson says, in reference to ex-Tories like Douglas Carswell (right with Mr Farage): ‘Potential candidates who have defected from the Conservatives will be preferred to long-term party members.'

Douglas Carswell and Nigel Farage talk about party defection
 

 

Last week it was revealed that more than a dozen party activists had resigned amid complaints that Mr Farage and his ‘undemocratic cabal’ had stopped long-serving Ukip members from standing as MPs in winnable seats.

Last night, a Ukip spokesman said: ‘It is Ukip policy that candidates in target seats are verified by the NEC. In the case of Hastings, it was felt the candidate was not suitable.

‘Nobody was preferred by the party. Hastings has now selected Mr Michael. This has nothing to do with Mr Farage’s filming with the Gogglebox team, which took place months ago and was unrelated.’

Ukip Conviction of Jasna Badzak Under Challenge for corruption as Mayor’s Question answered By Boris Johnson confirms.

Hi,
it does increasingly look as if Ukip’s problems are getting deeper, this is the answer to the second question on this subject which has been asked of the Mayor of London and answered on the public record.

Mayor's QT 1 Answer 02For the original article CLICK HERE
I understand there are a further 20 or so official complaints with detailed evidence currently before the official complaints body of the police.
I understand that Ukip is also under investigation for abuse of office and thus corruption.
This together with the simple results of a spot of investigative journalism in The Times this week does at least mean that some of Ukip’s more intelligent and better informed members and supporters will have learned a little more of just how unfit for purpose Ukip actually is.
As I have repeatedl;y warned as Ukip’s apparent popularity increased by being the dustbin for the protest vote the party would be subject of greater investigation and eventually lampoon, due to the undeniable lack of gravitas – just look at the media and despite a bill of around £1/4Million for its press salaries there is an almost total dirth of serious commentaries and discussion reporting Ukip in a positive manner in ANY media of consequence.
It is clear that Ukip is unlikely to gain many, even perhaps any, MPs in the General Election in view of the low grade of their candidates and their lack of policies that are properly costed and plausible – After over 20 years of espousing leaving the EU Ukip still hasn’t the vaguest wiff of a responsible, ethical EU exit and survival startegy and clearly not the vaguest clue of either the required tactics to make up a strategy that is workable!
Ukip not only lacks policies, ethics, vision and gravitas but it lacks sound funding , teamwork and plausibility.
