a simple tip for Ukip if it survives the probable Bankruptcy on Easter Monday, to save the party and clean it up to survive the future for a change actually check CVs of applicants wanting to be leader and you can avoid the mistakes made with every single leader since 1993!
Not one of the leaders sunsequent to the founder Alan Sked has provided an honest CV in full.
Just consider the pack of lies provided by:
Nigel Farage
David Bannerman
Paul Nuttall
Henry Bolton
And just consider just what shoddy & racist individuals such as the Zionist Peer Malcolm Pearson & Gerard Batten have proved to be and the damage done by their sordid behaviour.
Which leaves us Diane James whose CV was seemingly riddled with oddities and there is little surprise she fled the position days after election.
Then consider Roger Knapman who having been rejected by the Tories having been an MP and lost one of their safest seats joined Ukip as a front for Farage’s ambitions. Details that never featured in his CV.
Here is the simplest of guides that could help Ukip break the habits of the last 24 years and carry out due dilligence in choosing their next leader and its senior staff and those seeking election – it would help them avoid making the same mistakes over and over again – mistakes that have created Ukip on an illusionary foundation founded in lies and corruption that has put them in the parlouse position they are, with a track record of deceit as a vehicle for personal ambitions inflicted regardless of the cost to the party and the electorate!
They might even pause for a moment to rebuild rather than another 24 years fighting like ferrets in a sack, as they have to date! Largely due to utterly incompetent leadership which has been completely understandable, having never properly checked a CV in their existernce!

REVEALED: UKIP could be closer to bankruptcy than previously thought
Rumours are swirling that UKIP may be facing bankruptcy over outstanding legal fees, owing £175,000 in a libel case brought against the party by three Labour MPs.
But Scrapbook can reveal – after having gained access to the party’s credit rating report – that the party may be have even greater trouble settling the bill than previously thought…
UKIP have a credit rating of just 26 out of 100, deeming them ‘high risk’, and entitling them to borrow the princely sum of… £0.
Yes that’s right, UKIP’s finances are deemed so precarious by credit assessors that they can’t borrow a single penny.
And their low credit rating has limited their credit worthiness to zero since August 2016 – previously having a credit limit of over £50,000.
UKIP saw their credit rating slide from an impressive 99/100 in March 2014 to the depths of 4/100 in June last year – and it’s only improved very slightly since then.
What’s is it about the state of UKIP’s finances that gives them such a lousy credit rating?
On the most recent assessment by due diligence website DueDil, the party’s net assets stand at -£174,000; their liabilities outweighing their assets.
The biggest hit to the party’s coffers appears to have come from fighting the 2015 election, which saw UKIP’s net assets slide from over £350,000 to a low of -£540,000.
How UKIP will be able to pay the £175,000 legal bill whilst having negative net assets and without being able to borrow any money is yet to be seen…
UKIP also have a County Court Judgement (CCJ) from January 2017 worth £2,991, which according to the financial records they’ve not paid.
We contacted UKIP about who the creditor was in this CCJ but our call was forwarded to Gawain Towler – UKIP’s former head of press who supposedly quit UKIP in February – who told us:
“I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.”
Although he did say he’d “look into it”.
It’s all hardly a ringing endorsement for a party that uses a pound symbol for their logo…

UKIP could be wound up as a political party within a fortnight after a judge ordered it to pay a crippling £175,000 bill in legal costs for libelling three Labour MPs.
The pro-Brexit party is now facing bankruptcy in the wake of the ruling by Mr Justice Warby on Monday that it had to pay the bill within two weeks.
UKIP MEP Jane Collins falsely accused Labour’s three Rotherham MPs of covering up the town’s sex abuse scandal before the last election.
Sir Kevin Barron, John Healey and Sarah Champion sued for libel over Collins’ speech to a UKIP conference, which came a month after a report found about 1,400 children in the area had been abused between 1997 and 2013.
Collins has already been ordered to personally pay damages of £54,000 to each of the MPs.
The party is already reeling from a succession of failed leaders since Nigel Farage, saw its vote collapse in the 2017 election and is struggling to attract any donors to keep afloat.
It is currently run by interim leader Gerard Batten after former leader Henry Bolton was ousted by members following his links to a girlfriend who sent racist texts about Prince Harry’s fiancee Meghan Markle.

Although UKIP was not deemed responsible for Collins’ remarks, the High Court ruled last month that the party taken an “deliberate” decision not to settle the case before the 2017 general election.
And on Monday, Mr Justice Warby awarded costs – separately from the damages bill – of £175,000 to the three Labour MPs.
At an event in the party’s former heartland of Essex on Monday, current interim leader Batten conceded that UKIP may be “finished” unless it can find the cash.
“If we cannot raise it then the future of the party itself is in question,” he said.
Mary Newton, chairman of the Clacton branch of the party, told her local paper: “Mr Batten said we need to raise £100,000 in two weeks or that could be it. Mr Batten was just being honest and open with us about the situation.”
In a joint statement, Barron, Healey and Champion said: “UKIP’s actions behind the scenes forced the costs of this case to soar and compounded the damage from Jane Collins’ unfounded and hurtful allegations.
“This deliberate strategy hugely increased the legal costs and it is right that UKIP are today held liable for a large share of these costs.
“UKIP used the unfounded allegations by Jane Collins for political advantage.
“At the highest level UKIP knew Jane Collins’ case was ‘hopeless’ but blocked any settlement in our favour before the 2015 General Election because they believed it would win them votes.”

Following his appointment to acting leadership of the motley convocation of saloon bar propper-uppers at UKIP, new Oberscheissenführer Adolf von Batten has inspected the party’s coffers, and found that, after all the Dark Money and diverted EU expenses had been cut off, the cupboard was bare. And with a six-figure legal bill following the involvement in MEP Jane Collins’ libel loss, desperate measures were in order.
I em not a racialist but, und zis is a big but …
So von Batten, an unrepentant Islamophobe who regards Islam as a “death cult” – a remark that got him suspended from Twitter – has decided to reach out to like minded people and effectively turn the Kippers into a sort of BNP Mark 2.
We can figure that out from Kipper Central’s announcement: “Thousands of veterans are set to join the tide of those who have already signed up to the party under Gerard Batten’s leadership following a unanimous vote at Monday’s meeting to officially support the Veterans Against Terrorism Group … The motion, which was proposed by Gerard Batten at a UKIP NEC meeting where the Veterans Against Terrorism leaders were present was passed unanimously”. Veterans Against Terrorism is another far-right group.
That was clear from the accompanying photo which shows the logo of the Football Lads’ Alliance, “lads” being code for current and former hooligans. That the FLA was also on board was let slip by a VAT spokesman telling “Brexit is being betrayed, UKIP must once again rise to the challenge and fight for the real people, the forgotten people of this great nation. We the working class people, veterans, football lads and all other patriots must mobilize en mass and join UKIP, together we are stronger!” Tomorrow belongs to them.
Arron Banks’ propaganda site Westmonster has also told “Interim UKIP Leader Gerard Batten has announced a recruitment drive aimed at securing new members, including from street protest group the Football Lads Alliance – who are hosting Anne Marie-Waters at their next event. The leadership of the FLA have endorsed UKIP, according to Batten”.
She might be welcomed back …
And while enthusing “The Football Lads Alliance have held some huge counter-extremism demos”, even the UKIP faithful concede “Though with anti-Islam Anne Marie Waters speaking at the FLA’s next event, there is likely to be some controversy over the move”.
… and two of this group might be joining her …
But with the FLA, UKIP should know the score. As Hope not Hate has pointed out, “Another splinter from the FLA is the Anti-Terror Alliance (ATA) … HOPE not hate exposed one of the leaders of ATA to be the convicted terrorist Frank Portinari, the British Commander of the banned terrorist organisation Ulster Defence Association (UDA)”.
… after all, look who’s already there
The direction of UKIP under the less than benign leadership of Adolf von Batten is clear: to fill the coffers, the Kippers will get into bed with any and every far-right group out there. It can only be a matter of time before Britain First and the White Pendragons are welcomed. After all, Bill “Viagra Golliwog” Etheridge, one of Batten’s pals, has already endorsed the latter group, which tried to stage a lynching of London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
UKIP is so desperate, it is now prepared to ditch the veneer of mainstream respectability and become an explicitly racist party. Like it effectively has been for years.

BANKRUPT KIPPERS
Ukip chiefs admit they are just days from bankruptcy as they beg branches to raise £100,000 by end of the month
The Sun can reveal interim leader Gerard Batten has written to all local groups across the country to ask them divert any funds they have to the central party ‘purely for operational needs’

UKIP chiefs have admitted they are just days from bankruptcy as they beg branches to raise £100,000 by the end of the month or got bust, The Sun can reveal.
Interim leader Gerard Batten has written to all local groups across the country to ask them divert any funds they have in their coffers to the central party “purely for operational needs”.

He warns: “If we cannot raise it then the future of the Party itself is in question.”
It comes as the party is also facing a six-figure costs claim in a legal battle with three Labour MPs.
The begging note says they “realise that this money belongs to the branches but the future of our party really is in the hands of the members at this time”.
The plea takes place as ousted leader Henry Bolton announced he has formed his own new political party called OneNation.
The disgraced ex-boss was booted out last month at a meeting of Ukip members after The Sun revealed he had left his wife for a topless model Jo Marney, who was later shown to have sent racist messages.

Perhaps Gerard Batten Ukip’s leader this week might care to contribute the £100,000 himself out of the obscene amount this useless article has made out of his self interest at the cost of the tax payers – or even obtain the funding from his Islamaphobic so called christian group in return for his efforts and endless purveying of hate on their behalf.
Alternately how about the ex Ukip MEPs paying back some of the money they screwed the tax payer for in return for their consistent irrelevance and damage to the domestic body politic.
The existing Ukip MEPs have no more job now than that which Ukip MEPs have done in the past so how about they fund the party rather than continue sponging off of the tax payers!
