Hi,
this matter has been known of for some time but Amjad Bashire had not wished it to be in the general public domain therefore this blog had respected his wishes as clearly he was, as is so often the case with Ukip, the persecuted and maligned party.
Ukip’s Nigel Farage facing High Court threat from Amjad Bashir
By Jim Reed Victoria Derbyshire programme
UKIP leader Nigel Farage is facing legal action from an ex-UKIP MEP who defected to the Tories, the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire show has learned.
Amjad Bashir’s lawyers have written to Mr Farage asking him to publicly withdraw a range of allegations he made in January and pay damages.
The letter says otherwise he could face possible libel action in the High Court.
A UKIP spokesman said: “UKIP does not take part in trial by television.”
But it said it could not comment further while the legal case was ongoing.
Defection
Mr Bashir – MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber – joined the Conservatives in January, saying that UKIP had become a “party of ruthless self-interest” and had a “ridiculous” lack of policies.
But hours before his defection was to be made public he was suspended by UKIP, which said in a press release it was over “unanswered financial and employment questions”.
The following day, Mr Farage said he had become “increasingly alarmed” by Mr Bashir’s behaviour and that his “only surprise” was that the Conservative Party had accepted him as a member.
At the time Mr Bashir dismissed all the allegations – made on BBC One’s Andrew Marr programme and an interview on the Daily Telegraph and ITV websites – as “totally wrong” and an attempt to “muddy the waters”.
Mr Bashir appeared alongside UKIP leader Nigel Farage at the launch of the party’s 2014 local and European elections campaign
Now the Victoria Derbyshire programme has seen a nine-page legal letter from Mr Bashir’s solicitors, Atkins Thompson, sent in mid-March to Mr Farage and UKIP chairman Steve Crowther.
The letter says: “There can be no other conclusion that [the allegations] were published as part of a deliberate campaign on the part of UKIP and its most senior officers to discredit Mr Bashir in retaliation for his decision to join the Conservative Party.”
It demands that a press release detailing the allegations is removed from the UKIP website; that an apology to Mr Bashir is made in open court; and that damages and legal costs are paid.
“Contrary to the impression given by the press release, [Mr Bashir] had no forewarning of what UKIP had decided to allege,” the letter says.
In a statement, Mr Bashir said: “As soon as the various allegations were made it became clear that I had no choice but to pursue legal advice.
“I have taken that advice, we have compiled a case, and this now remains in the hands of my lawyers.”
He said he would not comment further on the case while it is still ongoing.
The BBC understands that lawyers representing both Mr Farage and Mr Crowther have asked for extra time to consider the letter and will respond by mid-April.
& watch the clip from Victoria Derbyshire’s program:
I must say Ukip’s response that they thought the letters were private and they didn’t expect the media to get hold of copies begs the question ‘and what other problems do they not expect the media to get hold of’?
Ukip is clearly Better Placed On extremist conspiracy theorist American shock radio like Alex Jones Than In Governance at ant level.

Hi,
responsible reading of ‘EUropaische Wiertschaft Gemeinschaft’ rapidly shows that Walter Funk’s publication as Adolf Hitler’s Finance Minister and President of The Reichs Bank was not trying to nor was he capable of proposing plans to build The EUropean Union!
That I published the first full text in the English language on the internet over 15 years ago and to my knowledge no one else has published the text in English in full to date! I question if Gerard Batten has ever read the document and for sure it seems had he read it he clearly failed to understand it!
The origins of the EU are all too well presented in Dr. Richard North & Christopher Booker’s in depth publication ‘The Great Deception’, clearly it was too complex for this Ukip numpty Gerard Batten to understand – nor it seems does this racist Islamophobe with his sordid anti Islamic publications and vile fundamentalist superstitions that are likely to encourage racial hatred have the slightest understanding of the style, methods or activities of The Bilderberg Group.
It is all too likely his misunderstanding of world affairs and political globalism include the belief that the world is controlled by the Cecils and the Rockerfellers and managed in accord with Molluck and Bohemian Grove!
That Gerard Batten is one of the founders of Ukip and has worked with Nigel Farage as part of Ukip leadership team speaks volumes of Ukip’s unsuitability for Governance!
Member of EU Parliament Calls
European Union a Nazi Plan
Infowars.com June 8, 2013
Gerard Batten, a member of the European Parliament for London for the United Kingdom Independence Party, said earlier this week at Watford, outside of the Bilderberg confab, that the European Union was designed by Nazis.
“In 1942,” Mr. Batten told Alex Jones, “the German central bank under Doctor Walther Funk along with leading industrialists said how are we going to run the economies of Europe after we have won the war.” They proposed the “European Economic Community, that’s what they called it, and they had a common agricultural policy” and policies covering other aspects of trade and cultural affairs.
Batten said it is more than likely many of the Nazi economic architects responsible for drafting up plans for a common union found their way into the bureaucracy after the supranational institution began under the auspices of the European Economic Community in the early 1950s, at the same time the Bilderberg Group was established and began to hold annual meetings. The Maastricht Treaty officially established the current European Union in 1993.
Asked about the CIA’s role in forcing Britain into the union through a trade deal in the 1970s, Batten said the intelligence agency outspent and out maneuvered those opposed to integration. “I see this as an instrument of American foreign policy at the time,” Batten said, adding that the global elite were keenly interested in creating a centralized and autocratic dictatorship in Europe.
