Squabbling like ferrets in a sack typifies UKIP since 1993 even when it was the Farage cult …

Dear Friend,
It is with great difficulty that I write to inform you that I have been forced to take serious action against Richard Braine, Tony Sharp, Jeff Armstrong and Mark Dent who have now all been suspended from the Party.
Upon reviewing evidence, I have now made a report to the Police – Action Fraud Department for their part in an attempted theft of UKIP data which took place on Wednesday 16th October.
Whatever your view of me as Chairman, you must understand that I will always act in accordance with the law and take whatever measures are necessary to protect our members. Nobody is above the law, not even Richard Braine, who even after being suspended for his actions, attempted to gain access to our Head Office again yesterday morning, accompanied by Mark Dent who tried to physically force his way in.
My huge thanks goes to David Challice at HQ who was able to remove him. A police complaint regarding this incident has also taken place.
Some members of the Party and even the board have been anonymously contacted with threats and blackmail. These will also be treated seriously and police reports will continue to be filed.
Suspending the Leader of the Party I love so much was a hugely difficult decision, and not one I made lightly. I would not have followed this course of action if I did not have sufficient evidence and legal advice to do so. The measures I’ve taken would be expected of any company and UK Independence Party Limited is no different.
I do not yet know what the media implications of this will be, but assure you it will be handled professionally and at all times in accordance with both our constitution and the law.
Be in no doubt that we have taken all precautionary measures to protect your information and we are certain that nobody was able to gain access to our database but if you believe you have received a threat yourself or are the victim of intimidation please contact the police. If you have received anything from anyone without your consent, please report it to the Information Commissioners Office.
Neil Hamilton, who has been hugely helpful in sharing his legal expertise throughout this saga reminds us that we can move forward –
“Gerard has done for UKIP what Gerald Ratner did for his jewellery company. This has done Tommy Robinson no good but has done catastrophic damage to UKIP.
It took us 20 years to be taken seriously and Gerard undid it all in just a few months.
We must go forward on a popular as well as populist programme.
We have little to lose and everything to gain from drawing a line under Gerard’s disastrous leadership and re-connecting with political reality.”
I will continue to liaise with the NEC in regard to next steps and will provide more information as soon as possible.
The NEC election is well under way and I understand the candidates have now been notified. The Returning Officer, Piers Wauchope will update you on the election soon.
In the meantime, we are trying to organise a Brexit Celebration in Westminster on 31st October. We will provide more details shortly but do hope you’ll be able to join us!!
Best wishes,
It would be foolish to think this outburst would go unchallenged:
