it is interesting to note that since the utterly incompetent, unprofessional and seemingly corrupt Andrew Smith , who advised Ukip NEC on how to dupe
The Electoral Commission, Ukip has done little to make the party more honest, more transparent, more professional or more ethical.
Richard Suchorzewski was the ideal individual to try to introduce probity to Ukip’s accounts having managed a Bank branch, with a degree in accountancy, experience at a senior level in Lloyds TSB within their head office and having worked for them as a political lobbyist plus experience in his own right in SME directorship – Andrew Smith quite literally ran away from his professional responsibilities when legitimately and professionally questioned by honest members of the NEC rather than the various corrupt placements like Douglas Denny and the rest of the pond life Nigel Farage had engineered into position.
The list of individuals who were elected to the NEC and sought to acquit their duties as responsible representatives of and on behalf of the membership, who were lied about, abused and villified by Nigel Farage and his placed cronies is well established and clearly documented.
Let us not forget that Mick McGough mounted a long campaign to desperately discredit Richard Suchorzewski, at which unsurprisingly he failed and it was openly claimed that Richard Suchorzewski was a BNP member, a lie for which there was not one shred of evidence, also it was claimed he was both a racist and a homosexual the former with no supporting evidence and the latter because he was not at the time married having reached an amicable divorce from his long standing wife based on their drift appart & mutual disinterest in having children.
The claims were risible as for quite some time Suchorzewski had been in a relationship with a nursing sister from St. Kitts! (as an aside his present lady is a really charming and very bright Anglo West Indian brought up by her mother in Liverpool with a Father in Texas who is of west Indian origin!)
Richard Suchorzewski’s experiences of dishonesty and corruption amongst Nigel farage’s clique of pond life are well documented and far from unique – consider the lies and abuse suffered by John West, Dr. Eric Edmonds, Dr. David Abbott, Jasna Badzak, Martin Haslam, Niall Warry, Petrina Holdsworth, Greg Beaman, Robin Page, Nikki Sinclaire, Del Young and many more who have sought clarity, probity and professionalism within Ukip.
You only need to look for a moment at Ukip today to realise they have made no forward progress in terms of professionalism, integrity, ethics, probity or leadership – their senior management still has no professional structure, are still spinning and lieing with false identities and placemen and are still squabbling like ferrets in a sack surrounded by the scum of EU gutter politics, with still no serious backers or supporters of stature who trust them.
Consider the fact that Bruce Lawson came forward from running his wife’s bed and breakfast and a small accountancy concern in North Wales to become Ukip’s new treasurer he failed to act either responsibly or professionally and accepted the responsibility with the unprofessional claim that he was not interested in sound accounts prior to his takeover and would not investigare the various apparent frauds.
The die was set for further obfuscation but even toadying thus to Nigel Farage he failed to fulfil his ambitions and through a series of meetings fermented a break away group and a new rival party, where he failed spectacularly!
Although then Stuart Wheeler stepped up to the plate, when Ukip had no backers of consequence, and in a fit of pique at having failed to get his way trying to but the Tories he set out to buy Ukip – though it was clear he did not trust Nigel Farage nor the many sychophants and placemen amongst his clique and its claque.
Stuart Wheeler perpetuated the corruption of the accounts in keeping with his predecessors refusing to investigate any of the shoddy practices and lies that went before him, thus continuing to build the house of Ukip on the quicksand of speculation and corruption which has so clearly been its ongoing weakness.
Stuart Wheeler has however had the self preservation sense to control the finances whilst he put some money in, to ensure his money was not spirited away.
Stuart Wheeler even tried to get those milking the gravy train from within Ukip to become donors but with little or no success. It has been a practice within Ukip that no one seems t5o fund the party unless for personal gain – thus would be luminaries fund their own selection and elections but with no real sign of benefit for the cause or the party, merely their own enrichment.
Paul Sykes of course never trusted Nigel Farage or Ukip and has never given much to the party having merely paid to fund his own personal ideas, such as printing of leaflets in Turkey and the like, more recently he has taken control of campaign management and will doubtless only fund the ideas he has control of and agrees with!
Thus this extrodinary cult lurches on in leaps and bounces with very little real progress on the ground and unlikely after 22 years to have any notable achievement in the upcoming General Election save to damage the process of democracy as they are unlikely to gain any MPs and at best might scrape 5 or 6 which would amount to no more than a damaging minority risking the loss of a promised referendum from the Tories and putting the utterly dangerous and damaging economic illiterates in the form of Ed Milliband and Ed Balls in Downing Street.
To view the documents below just enlarge them, the facts show Ukip’s financial affairs in a total muddle and not only bereft of transparency but showing there is no willingness on the part of the leadership to have any transparency or honesty in accounting for money. The details may have moved on since 2006 but the principles and lack of transparency beset with low grade placemen are the same almost 9 years later!.
