Hi,

first a Ukip spokesman claimed that the flood last winter were due to the Government having legalised same gender marriage, then in the last couple of days a Ukip PPC pronounced from Liverpool that Liverpool Football Club’s recent abject failures on the playing field were due to Liverpool’s acceptance of homosexuality.

Then of course there were the comments of Winston McKenzie who as a spokesman of Ukip somewhat arcanely and overly simplistically claimed that all cases of same gender couples adopting children were nothing more than child abuse and now look what this cult spokesman has had to say:

EUReferendum

Thursday 18 December 2014

000a Inde-017 McKenzie.jpg

Nigel Farage has been likened to Jesus by Ukip’s Commonwealth spokesman, Winston McKenzie. The Eurosceptic “army” was behind their leader, who can “do no wrong”.

“Jesus was one man, we’re his army. Farage is one man, and we’re his army and that’s what it’s all about”, he says. “Farage is like (non-stick) Teflon – he can do no wrong. Everywhere he goes, it doesn’t matter what he says or does – he gets away with it”.

McKenzie may be Ukip’s “token black” and barking mad with it, but he is an official party spokesman, taken by the media as representing the party view. On the other hand, this drip-drip of hostile media, may represent a change in tactics – or be an indication that the fourth estate is sensing blood.

For those Ukipites who complain that they are being “picked on”, the obvious response is that, if the party didn’t generate such unflattering publicity, it wouldn’t be available to use. As to whether it is having an effect, we see today a Guardian/ICM poll which puts Ukip on 14 percent, down from the heady heights of 19-20 percent it was getting in October/November. The latest YouGov poll has 16 percent – up from 14 percent over the weekend, but again down from the peaks it was getting earlier. Having gone through £2.96 million in the Euro-elections, outspending Labour, if the polls are any guide, Ukip will now need considerably more to succeed in the general election. With the bad press it is now getting, though, it will take a miracle on a par with the feeding of the five thousand. Perhaps Farage needs to be the Son of God that Winston McKenzie would have him be. He would be advised, though, to stay off the painkillers.

Nigel Farage compared to Jesus by Ukip candidate Winston McKenzie

He also compared the leader to Teflon and said criticism just doesn’t stick

 

Nigel Farage has been likened to Jesus by Ukip’s Commonwealth spokesperson, Winston McKenzie.

In an interview with Chat Politics, he said the Eurosceptic “army” was behind their leader, who can “do no wrong”.

“Jesus was one man, we’re his army. Farage is one man, and we’re his army and that’s what it’s all about,” he said.

“Farage is like (non-stick) Teflon – he can do no wrong. Everywhere he goes, it doesn’t matter what he says or does – he gets away with it.”

Mr McKenzie, famed for having joined every major political party in the UK but never winning an election, most recently stood for Ukip in the 2012 Croydon North by-election, receiving 6 per cent of the vote.

He has unsuccessfully run as an MP, the Mayor of London (against Boris Johnson) and as a local councillor but insisted he is still “needed” in politics.

Showing his support for Ukip with a purple fox badge “made in the likeness of Mr Farage”, Mr McKenzie told Chat Politics the Eurosceptic party was stealing Tory “hens” from the Parliamentary coop but struggled to remember defectors’ names.

“Douglas and…the other guy,” he said, referring to former Conservative MP Mark Reckless, now Ukip’s representative for Rochester and Strood.

When quizzed on his party’s immigration policy, Mr McKenzie advocated the introduction of an unspecified quota and defined British as anyone who “works and stands of for the traditions of the place where they live”.

When questioned on same-sex marriage, he claimed that it was “not something that Christians would advocate” and raised the concept of being “genuinely gay”.

“I have nothing against gay people, I’m not some kind of homophobe but I am entitled to express my heartfelt opinion,” he added. “I’m not going to be drawn on that because I know what will happen.”

Mr McKenzie, a former hairdresser, said he maintains it as a hobby because: “I love the women it gets me closer to the ladies, I find out what they’re thinking.”

He made a rap video for the 2008 London elections and tried to achieve pop stardom in 2005 with a run on the X Factor.

The interview ended with Mr McKenzie to the camera about the Conservative-Lib Dem Coalition, adding: “I’m not your average politician.”

Then for a different take on this fool and Nigel Farage’s utter incompetence as a leader and his unprofessional judgement in placements of people:

Farage is like Jesus, claims Ukip hopeful: Former boxer turned party candidate says supporters are followers and leader can ‘do no wrong’

  • UKIP candidate Winston McKenzie compared Nigel Farage to Jesus 
  • The former boxer said the party members were Farage’s followers 
  • He previously caused controversy with his remarks about gay adoption 
Commonwealth spokesman Winston McKenzie has said that Nigel Farage is like Jesus and UKIP members are his followers

Nigel Farage is like Jesus and Ukip members are his followers, one of the party’s candidates has claimed.

Commonwealth spokesman Winston McKenzie, who is a former professional boxer and has previously courted controversy with remarks about gay adoption, said the party leader can ‘do no wrong’.

‘Jesus was one man, we’re his army. Farage is one man, and we’re his army and that’s what it’s all about,’ he said.

‘Everywhere he goes, it doesn’t matter what he says or does – he gets away with it.’

Mr McKenzie joined Ukip after previously being a member of the Conservatives, Lib Dems and his own Unity party. He has stood to be an MP, Mayor of London and a local councillor, but lost his deposit on every occasion.

‘The one thing with Farage is there’s (sic) no heirs and graces, you do business. He’s a strong leader,’ he said in the interview with Chat Politics. ‘Farage is like (non-stick) Teflon – he can do no wrong.’

Mr McKenzie, who described himself as ‘not your average politician’, has developed a reputation for making controversial pronouncements.

While standing for Ukip in the 2012 Croydon North by-election, he described gay adoption as ‘tantamount to child abuse’ and ‘unhealthy’.

Asked by Chat Politics for his views on same-sex marriage, he said: ‘I have nothing against gay people, I’m not some kind of homophobe but I am entitled to express my heartfelt opinion.’

Mr McKenzie said that he favours a quota on immigrants coming into the country.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has been compared to Jesus by one of the party's candidatesWinston McKenzie said: 'Jesus was one man, we're his army. Farage is one man, and we're his army and that's what it's all about.'

He said: ‘For every extra person that comes into this country, a British person has to do without and I’m not talking here colour or creed.

‘I define British as someone who comes here and toils and works and stands up for the traditions of the place they live.’

Earlier this year, Mr McKenzie described Croydon – where he was standing as a local councillor – as ‘unsafe and a dump’ after Mr Farage pulled out of appearing at a ‘Ukip carnival’ there.

He made a rap video during his 2008 campaign to be Mayor of London and previously auditioned for the X Factor.

Winston McKenzie is quite a good measure of not just Ukip for whom he is an official spokesman yet clearly the public see him as a fool and in all the elections he has stood in for all the parties he has aspired to represent he has always lost his deposit.
This also reflects attrociously on the professionalism of Ukip and the personal judgement of Nigel Farage that he has placed him as an official spokesman for his cult!

With a drunk totally disinterested in democracy and fairplay within HIS party and bereft of any signs of gravitas or responsible behaviour and clowns like Winston McKenzie and the many others who have been his personal placements both as candidates and staff just why does anyone consider Ukip worthy of a vote – Do people really believe these low lifes and ner do wells represent them and their values!

Just look at the endless examples of not just stupidity from Ukip but the endless allegations and proven examples of substantial sums of money being fraudulently obtained

WISE, Tom 04 MEP
and squandered and the serial lies, bullying and criminality – Would anyone of any sense want Ukip running their company stationary cupboard let alone on the fringes of Government with access to perhaps the Treasury, Defence, Health, Foreign Office or the like.

Just imagine Ukip as a Government Nigel Farage would have control of the Nuclear Trigger

McGOUGH, Michael 05
(but he would probably have been drinking with one of his low life placemen) 11710-nigeldrinkingOR just drinking!

Winston McKenzie would be Foreign Minister waiting for his boss to walk on water or perform a miracle, OR handing out money to his chums from Ukip donations!
ODZE, Shneur 01 + FARAGE & NUTTALL
Paul Nuttall would be in a pub somewhere currying populist favour and clandestinely plotting the fall of Farage and how he could then rule the world,

Patrick O’Flynn who broke ethical codes as a journalsit to feather his own nest on the gravy train by betraying his readers
O'FLYNN, Patrick 02
would be in the EU trying to work out how he could damn his opponents with feint praise to oust them as rivals for Farage’s income stream,

Roger Helmer would be in a dubious massage parlour well known for its ‘extended’ services, or recovering from an earlier ‘session’,
HELMER, Roger 02 - ASLEEP on The JOB 01
Stuart Agnew would be fixing contracts for migrant workers for his farm and running errands for the NFU,

Janice Atkinson could be relied on to be doing something offensive and making enemies:

ATKINSON, Janice 02Need I continue!

There is not a single solitary member of Ukip’s elected representatives or its staff who could be described as competent and with gravitas and clearly not one with any understanding of ethics or integrity or they would decline to be associated with such a shower of self serving, liars, thieves and gutter politicians.

NOT ONE!

Hi,
with a hat tip to Guido!

More Ukip Problems Due To Reckless Abandonment, as the Rochester & Strood Tory Constituency has a fit of pique & fail to come to terms with rejection!

Now they seek to sue Mark reckless for his defection to Ukip, though as there is no actual contract nor guarantee that an MP will continue to believe their best interests will continue to be served and may even in some rare cases believe their constituency may best be serviced by either their resignation or defection to another party.

Frankly I believe the Tories are throwing good money after bad in this case as in legal terms I can not see they have a leg to stand on – but let them have their day in Court. I am astonished Tory Head Office did not give better advice!

Untrustworthy turncoat Mark Reckless may be but I fail to see that Justice would be seen to be served were this be considered a crime leading to conviction!

Hi,
By showing himself as a drunk with his endless gurning and the false laugh, by choosing to perform as an entertainer with the foul mouthed Dominic & Stephanie Parker from a gastly TV reality show where the participants compete to make the most stupid comments and use the most obscenities in a display of the most unpleasant reality show, who would want a drunken politician with such poor judgement who CHOSE to encourage such behaviour.

Nigel Farage Made A Fool Of Himself AND LIED when he claimed his wife was not funded by the public!

The desperate efforts of Ukip to portray their cult leader as the bore in the pub every dreads being cornered by seems a determination to ensure they never achieve anything of consequence and continue to bump along the bottom squabbling like ferrets in a sack in British domestic elections.

We all know that with about 8% of the influence in the EU parliament it really doesn’t matter who is elected as an MEP and that our influence in EU politics is an irrelevant that even outstrips the irrelevance of the EU itself, thus using EU elections as a dusbin in which to cast ones protest vote is a sound use of the EU Ballott Box.

Some, who have been duped by Ukip and the various pro EU politicians and businessmen all too willing to lie in return for the massive bribes the EU hands out from OUR money to fund politicians & some of the more corrupt businessmen as salesmen for their scams.

In reality The EU is an arcane hangover from the politics of the late 19th. & early 20th. Century – contrary to the EU sales pitch that the EU standardises laws and regulations to provide a level playing field across the EU to form a single market of 500 Million people. & cotrary to the claims of EUroPhopes and self seekers like Ukip who claim the EU makes over 70% of our laws and Westminster has no say – Neither is true.

The EU is clearly a hugely outdated and hideously expensive neo Communist bureaucracy driven by a vaste hoard of overpaid and unelected bureaucrats (apparatchiks) who re-write Internationally agreed standards and regulations handed doen to them by such international bodies as The WTO (World Trade Organisation), WHO (World Health Organisation) UN, CODEX, IMF and the like.

This process of re-write is largely carried out by an army of EU functionaries mainly drawn from amongst the French ENARCS – those who derived their higher education from France’s École Nationale d’Administration ensuringan EU style and impramature adequate to dupe the people to believing that the laws, regulation and apparent wisdom comes from the EU when it is little more than an expensive slight of hand by the EU’s apparatchiks.

Fortunately for the true opponents to the EU concept in the UK we are in fact observing the early signs of the inevitable demise of Ukip, which will hopefully leave the field open to the development of a true EUroRealist movement having a more plausible platform and likelier sources of funding to fight the referendum, which becomes far more likely through a Tory win in the general election, which becomes more likely with Ukip’s leaching of Tory votes out of the way, or at least greatly reduced by their blundering incompetence and the internal squabbling as the factions start to realise that Nigel farage’s days are very much numbered and as the more intelligent and informed major backers stand back from the train wreck.
FARAGE, Nigel 94 ORCHESTRATING A DEFECTION 01
A train wreck which is likely to gobble up what funds Ukip can garner as the factions fight for control of the ruin with Patrick O’Flynn likely to make a play for control of the EU end thus acting as the stalking horse for Douglas Carswell to seek top become the party leader through his Westminster/Clacton contacts and support.

Ukip MEPs will have to start to make their plans and decide on which side their bread is buttered as it is clear that most are only there for the ‘bread’ and have little in terms of competence or leadership ability most are likely to be damaged in the cross fire.

Nigel Farage’s departure, having been the driving force for many years,

FARAGE, Nigel  104
in persuit of his own income stream and self agrandisement will turn this into a knock down drag ’em out fight to hang on but clearly his days are numbered now people realise his achievements have been largely personal and without vision, gravitas, stability or structure having been based more on low cunning than leadership or ability.

There is likely to be little left of Ukip once the members and supporters realise The Emperor has no clothes and the Empire has no structure or integrity – factors that are becoming ever more apparent the more Nigel Farage & Ukip gain publicity.

With or without Nigel Farage clearly Ukip is unlikely to have any MPs elected merely to ensure that less Tories are elected, thus letting Red Ed into Downing Street with no hope of a referendum and a ‘helter skelter’ of surrender to EU control in return for praise and promotion of Labour amongst the pseudo communist EU ENARCS, apparatchiks and functionaries seeking to hang onto THEIR Gravy Train.

In the unlikely event that Ukip were to get, let us say 6 or even a dozen MPs what influence might they have? The SNP had 6 throughout this Government and they have had virtually zero effect at Westminster and have been conspicuous by their inconsequentiality the SNP has been driven by their SNPs in Scotland and all they managed was to hugely damage Scotland!

Consider what exactly the SNP & Plaid together have achieved at Westminster and you will start to realise the utter irrelevance of Ukip who offer a propensity for harm to the EUroRealist cause and wiuth Farage in the saddle the largest single stumbling block to the possibility of getting an OUT vote in an EU Referendum.

The observers of the campaign will have noted that Ukip, under Nigel Farage, did absolutely nothing of any value to oppose the New EU Constitution which was subsequently named The Lisbon Treaty to obfuscate its true purpose. Nor did Ukip make any effort to try to gain a debate on EU membership in Parliament even going so far as to try to destroy Nikki Sinclaire who eventually gained 225,000 signatures for the petition which forced David Cameron to his biggest single defeat in the House during the EU debate. A debate that eventually led to the Tory promise of an IN/OUT Referendum, which even now Ukip seeks to sabotage!

The more publicity Nigel Farage gets now clearly ensures the demise of Ukip as it becomes ever more apparent to the electorate that he is little more than a gurning buffoon with an omnipresent drink fueled silly giggle! That Ukip has gained in membership by jumping on the band wagon of criticism of imigrant policy is populist and utterly predictable gutter politics – there is a natural pool of some 5-8% of the electorate who seek to blame their failures on immigrants, formerly supporters of the BNP and the like who have now switched allegiance to Ukip.

Ukip is starting to realise they are unable to control the publicity these people attract and with that comes the realisation, amongst the better informed, that this method of gaining support guaranteest schism, faction fighting and the alienation of the core voters who could have carried Ukip forward leaving them floundering with success for ever beyond their reach as the core vote of decent folk is left unwilling to vote for the party and merely using them for protest in irrelevant elections to show their opprobrium at the actions of the governing parties.
If you wish to further explore this debacle Ukip has engineered for itself you may find this article of interest CLICK HERE

I have long cautioned that the higher up the tree the monkey climbs the more you see its @rse and how very true that is being proven with the apparent rise of Ukip!

Nigel Farage’s wife ‘is paid with public money’, it is revealed, despite denial on show with Googlebox’s Steph and Dom

Nigel Farage insisted his wife ‘is no longer paid by the public sector’ but instead receives her wage from ‘The Party’

Tuesday 16 December 2014

While his appearance on Steph and Dom Meet Nigel Farage may be considered something of a privileged platform for a politician, the Ukip leader did not emerge from the encounter without facing at least a few awkward questions.

Among the drinks and questions from the couple from Gogglebox on Europe, immigration and ambition, Mr Farage was also faced with the query over whether his wife Kirsten was working for him.

While she used to work as his secretary, new EU rules brought in earlier this year banned employing family members.

 

His response on the Channel 4 programme last night that “She is no longer paid by the public sector” appeared perfectly clear – particularly when he added that her wage now came from “The Party”.

Ukip however has now confirmed that Mrs Farage, who is listed as a local assistant to Ukip MEP Ray Finch on the European Parliament website, does still receive public money.

A Ukip spokesman told The Independent that she receives £800 a month for her role in Mr Finch’s office.

According to The Spectator’s Steerpike blog, the party has also confirmed she is paid for her role helping out in the South East office.

Laugh a minute: Steph Parker with Nigel Farage Laugh a minute: Steph Parker with Nigel Farage

The spokesman told The Independent however that Mr Farage had not been misleading as at the time of filming, his wife was being paid by the party and he was unaware that she had made the arrangement with Mr Finch.

Mr Farage’s appearance on the Channel 4 programme came hot on the heels of his much-talked about “battle” with Russell Brand on Question Time last week.

Writing for The Independent the following day, Mr Farage accused the campaigner of being a “chest-hair obsessed Hollywood type”.

Meanwhile, it has been reported today that Ukip is set to secure control of a £1.5m pot of European taxpayers’ cash by forming a new political party – a move which has triggered a fresh internal row.

The funding follows the formation of the Ukip-dominated pan-European political party, the Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe (ADDE).

Those within the party in favour of taking the money have said if the Eurosceptic party did not take it, “integrationist organisations” promoting ever-close union would pick it up.

But Ukip MEP Gerard Batten said there had been no consultation with members and “I think the feeling among the activists is that they won’t be in favour of it.”

A Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy spokesman said: “The NEC has given UKIP MEPs the choice to join or not a pan – European party and 22 of them have chosen to do so.

“This funding from the European Parliament will help Eurosceptic MEPs get their message in defence of national democracy out across Europe . It will also bring them onto a more equal footing with Federalist parties.

“We are happy to cooperate with other democratic parties across Europe to counter the wall of taxpayer-funded EU propaganda.”
