Ukip Further Embarrassed By Extremist Comments from a member of their management team.

Hi,
yet again Ukip finds itself embarrassed by its own senior management  as Nigel Farage’s totally discredited Annabelle Fuller’s pal, who she recommended to the job, Matthew Richardson has again displayed his foundations in extremism.
I wonder whether Nigel Farage will bound out with another £3Bn. of OUR money to spend to cover up this embarrassment as he did yesterday to try to cover-up little Matthew’s last quoted outrageous gaff.

Surely there must be a limit to howmany times Ukip will spend OUR savings based on policy invented on the hoof by #Nigel Farage to distract from yet another crass comment by a Ukip leadership team member.

It does seem neiither Nigel Farage nor the Ukip cult have carried out the most basic of costing of their alleged key policy to Leave_The_EU. There will be saving in direct costs of EU membership but there seems to be no understanding of the very real costs of leaving.

Ukip seemingly have a blind eye to three major facts:

1. Payment to the EU is agreed on a 7 year cycle under a Treaty Britain has signed – so costs will continue at £50+M a day for a considerable time.

2. Britain will have to rebuild large areas of our own Civil Service to take over the functions now carried out by the EU on our behalf.

3. Britain will have to set up costly offices, Ambassadors and lobbyists in and to relate to The EU around the world + rebuild the F&CO.

At this rate Annabelle Fuller’s efforts to pass off her idiotic ‘pal’, to her special friend Nigel Farage, may prove the most expensive since Peter Mandelson’s Grandffather’s obscene spending follies  on ‘The British Groundnut Scheme’!

Top Ukip official Matthew Richardson forced to apologise after ‘unforgivable’ anti-trans rant and ‘she-males’ slur

Matthew Richardson says his views on transphobia have changed since the speech
Jon Stone

Monday 26 January 2015
MATTHEW RICHARDSON

A top Ukip official has apologised after recordings emerged of him referring to transgender women as “she-males”, claiming he is “horrified” by the remarks.

Matthew Richardson, Ukip’s party secretary and a close ally of Nigel Farage, branded trans women undergoing surgery “she-males” and said the NHS should not help people who needed gender reassignment surgery.

He blamed “socialists” who he said supported people whose gender needed to be reassigned.

“Socialists think that if somebody wants to reassign their gender the state should pay, they think that’s how the world works],” he told an audience of several right-wing groups in the United States.

“So if you love she-males come to the United Kingdom, if you love freedom – stay here [the United States].”

Mr Richardson told The Independent that he made the speech six years ago and, at the time, “didn’t even know what transphobia was”.

“I was barely conscious of the concept of transsexuality and gender dysphoria let alone the associated serious mental and physical health consequences,” he said.

“Over the last six years through my own experience, meeting transgendered people and from learning through the advocacy of groups like Stonewall I have learned about these things and I realise that that kind of thing is not acceptable. I had forgotten that I had said that, and I am horrified 6 years later that I did.”

The recordings originate from a speech made in 2010 to the Young America’s Foundation Conservative Student Conference in Washington DC, and came to light after they were obtained by the Sunday Mirror newspaper.

Mr Richardson is the party’s secretary and a member of its executive council, and is a close ally of Nigel Farage.

In a statement issued through the Ukip press office, Mr Richardson said he had forgotten that he made the comments and that his views on trans people had changed.

When approached by The Independent for comment, Stonewall said it did not generally campaign on transgender issues and was mainly focused on issues regarding sexual preference.

Campaigners for trans rights reacted angrily to the comments and said any apology needed to be backed up with actions.

Stephen Whittle, the head of legal services for the charity Press For Change, which advocates for people who change their gender, told The Independent the speech was “unforgivable” and “ignorant almost beyond belief”.

“Whilst transphobia is never acceptable, PFC works by making friends and not by making enemies. PFC is always willing to participate in dialogue, but we would expect to see change followed by material action, not just more talk,” he said.

The apology comes only days after a Green Party parliamentary candidate profusely apologised for appearing to question the gender identity of trans people.

Transphobic hate crimes soared in 2014, according to some of the UK’s biggest police forces. The Metropolitan Police saw offences against transgender people increase by 44% in 2014 with 95 crimes recorded, up from 66 in 2013 and 59 in 2012.

Will Gilpin In Conversation With Chris Pain provide background and detailed facts relative to the self serving corruption of Ukip’s upper ranks!

Hi,

having published extracts from this document in the past and now that the media have had the opportunity to use such extracts as they wish and store parts of the document for future use it seems apposite to publish the full document – as a matter of archive.

By all means comment and utilise the document if you wish but I do request that if you use a part of the document only, that you strive not to alter or use an extract which does not convey the sentiment it would seem to portray.

For fairness I would also ask that you provide a link to this site so that people who wish to can read it in full, for total balance.

I trust it helps you to understand just how corrupted Ukip actually is! I shall let the document speak for itself.

CP : Chris Pain
PAIN, Chris 01
WG : Will Gilpin
GILPIN, Will 01
KS : Katie Snape
SNAPE, Katie (Will Gilpin) 01

CP: Hi, is that Will?

WG: Yes.


CP: Hi Will, it’s Chris Pain from UKIP.


WG: Hello there.


CP: Hello. First of all, I thought we’d start the conversation saying sorry you are not in the party)

anymore.

WG: Yeah, yeah.


CP: To say I was shocked doesn’t quite cover it.


WG: Yeah I was too.


CP: I think basically I just can’t, I can’t get my head around the fact that we should be that used to

men who could be an asset to the party and I just thought we ‘ve got people there that they aren’t
seeming to be pushing the party forward.

WG: I’m a bit confused by the whole thing. I wasn’t given any warning, you know. I told them I was

unhappy with the constraints on my loral but that’s clearly annoyed Nigel.

CP: It’s ridiculous because, because as the CEO…I couldn’t understand why you was reporting to

Steve Crowther anyway.

WG: Yeah, yeah, yeah.


CP: It was obviously they just wanted to keep you in check.


WG: Well my interpretation is Steve had his indicative powers taken off him, he saw me as a way of

shutting the NEC up

CP: yes


WG: while not being challenged.


CP: Yeah. Well I’m just absolutely gobsmacked, I can’t believe it thinking well, where are we

supposed to be going with this one. At a time where we should be pushing forward, we’ve got the
new offices at which you organised and things like that

WG: Yeah


CP: Unfortunately, There seems to be and inner circle of yes people who just keep saying yes.


WG: yes indeed yes


CP: I mean I noticed it when Nigel came to Boston, the fact that we were round the table having a

meal and the Sun rang wanting to do a big article on how Pro Margaret Thatcher him and the party
was.

WG: Yep.


CP: And we got Ray Finch , Michael Heaver and Gowain all saying yes great Nigel , oh how fantastic,

oh great story’ because Nigel was saying yes, or ‘sorry Nigel, I was a big fan of Margaret Thatcher
Lord Tebbit, that’s prior to the prior to the EU as well ‘but you’ve got to realise North of Watford, in
places she the anti Christ.

WG: Yes


CP: I said it’s something you’re not gonna gain…I said the Sun paper is not a big Conservative paper,

it’s a working class paper that people look at for the boobs. I said it’s something I never get …I said
it’s not for Conservative readers and if it was in the Mail or Guardian, Express, Express probably
more, yes I could see them making an impact with it if that was there but in the Sun it’s in the wrong
place

WG: Yes


CP: and the neutral go ‘oh, no no no no’. What amazed me is that people sat round the table saying

‘oh you should tell them yes, do it’, rather than saying well no Nigel I think that’s wrong.

WG: Yep


CP: And that’s what he seems to be happy with.


WG: Yep, no that’s all he ever is really, If you look at the MEP selection list you know the top 10

people are the top 10 sicko fantasty list really aren’t they.

CP: Well yeah we…we…and also it’s even worse than that because what we found is if you look at

the MEP list the top 2 to 4 are his favoured few and the remainder are people who are no hopers
who aren’t gonna challenge

WG: Yep, it’s either people you’ve never heard of or Nigel’s mates.


CP: Yep, he’s too obvious. For you for the South East, we’ve got Piers is not on there, Steve Harris I

know not everyone likes him but he’s popular locally, Andrew Montclief I know Andy…illness
problem, but he’s ex NEC member policy maker he still should stand a chance,

WG: yes


CP: Neil Hamilton was a surprise but obviously that was an internal deal done, he’s been promised a

job since anyway in the party

WG: Yeah, yeah yeah.


CP: So that’s when you look at Mike Nattrass our region yes, I know Steve was going to take me out,

but you look at, the three people after Margot Helmer one has been a party nine months so should
be on there without going to a separate assessment, one has been in the party a long time, didn’t do
anything last European election campaign, the was a number two on the East Midlands committee,
didn’t get re voted on so didn’t go for four years, there’s not been anything since. And somebody
nobody’s ever heard of – even people here don’t even know who he is.

WG: Yup


CP: So he it sticks out like a sore thumb, when you’ve got Jonathan Arnott dropped in on number 1

in the North East.

WG well that’s astonishing isn’t it


CP: I can think of better words Will, but I think astonishing is quite a polite way of putting it, and

although David Coburn has got a link to Scotland, I don’t think he’s been there for 34 years.
(Phone rings)

WG: I think I see that’s a way to get rid of David Coburn


CP: Oh yes,We’ll give him the number 1 there The thing he’s not switched on to in Scotland is

Scottish people vote for the candidate, so I’m aware that some of the votes in the past for the NEC
has been dubious to say the least so when it goes to Elcom so that’s not going to do David any good
at all.

WG: No, no, no, and the other thing that surprises me, thats putting it mildly, is Nuttall becoming

Number 2 I simply don’t believe it

CP: Yeah


WG: Yep you know Paul, he’s fine But I do not believe he is the best candidate the party can put

forward after Nigel,

CP: No No


WG: the coincidence of Nigel 1, Nuttall 2 just shows the whole thing has been gerimandered.


CP: Oh yes Without a doubt.


WG: Why they excluded me from the process of course.


CP: Well yes the thing is, it’s quite obvious, Steve did it from day one, the whole process, pushed it

rammed it through made sure he was chairing the subcommittee no minutes from the
subcommittee at all, which to be fair is not unprofessional, it’s crooked,

WG: Yeah.


CP: And then actually pushed it forward even further to reach exactly where people are, without the

actually NEC passing a mandate on how people should be picked, good.

WG: Yeah, yeah.


CP: And these all way through


WG: And it’s a win-win because either we accept the list that we are given or we reject the entire

process at which point Nigel appoints the list.

CP: yes


CP:it would probably, probably be a bit fairer actually at least you can pin it on him.


WG: This is so.


CP: I look at what we’ve done so far and although I don’t agree with that at least it would save a lot

of people a lot of time, energy and effort, in the party…

WG: And money…


CP: And money, and at least it would be straightforward until that’s Nigel’s choice that’s it


WG: Yeah, yeah.


CP: And all Steve has done is pushed it through regardless.


WG: yeah


WG: It was perhaps the final straw for me in terms of my enthusiasm for the process but…


CP: Yeah. So What are you doing now the Will?


WG: Nothing. I’ve taken a holiday for a week and now I’m going to start working out what to do. I

had to wait until you know I wont, I won’t find something else while I’m in the media, you know,
given that I’m not meant to go and work for another political party so

CP: no


WG: I’ll just have to wait for that to die down you know.


CP: Are they still paying you?


WG: They gave me a month’s notice, yeah.


CP: inaudible


WG: inaudible, yeah. It ‘s irritating but it’s something. You know, to be fair I said to Steve lets get to

the conference and then after the conference we’ll have a chat about my, my position.

CP: yes


WG: Steve said yes that’s fine because conference is important, but (inaudible) so I might have been

leaving in October anyway. Because Steve Steve hired me as chief executive and then tells me my
inaudible is the database, my other responsibility is the head office staff, you know, that’s, that’s a
pointless role, and it’s been annoying me that there was a lot of people bitching about me in the
party because I get paid the most of any party employee and I do nothing of any value, and I agree
with them. You know, you know,

CP:


WG: em you don’t hire a chief executive and not let him do anything.


CP: Stuart Wheeler touched on it once, asking why you was reporting to Steve as the Chief

Executive, and he was you know pushed to the side, but I’m also aware of the fact that, assuming
that things are being discussed the NEC, and they’re not coming out in the minutes.

WG: Yep.


CP: They’re being deliberately missed off the minutes.


WG: Yes indeed


CP: erm And what’s going to happen with Mike Nattrass is in the main meeting I know it’s definitely

cos I, said that (no paid party employee being) part of the MEP (selection) process.

WG: yeah yeah


CP Steve saying I’lll go and have a long summer holiday, with nothing to do, I said look Steve

(there’s no problem overseeing it ) but, but last time we had independent people of good standing
in the process,

WG: Yeah


CP: and then what they did it was all passed on.


WG: yeah yeah yeah


CP: And of course that’s why he’s not had the committees ratified by the NEC because they’ve said

that, he knew he would not get it through .

WG: Yeah


CP: So it’s absolutely…it’s diabolically corrupt.


WG: It is, it is. And you know, it really disappoints me…the party could have been so much more

over the next couple of years.

CP: No No he’s took his chance


WG: inaudible Nigel wants to carry on the way he is, with his little gang of mates having a bit of fun

in the media, you know, and that’s it as far as he is concerned I think.

CP: Well I think it is aimed at a pact with the Tories in 2015.


WG: Well…


CP: Something that Paul said to me a year ago.


WG: Yeah, yeah, it’s certainly been discussed, I’ve heard it discussed, my honest view is it’s not

aimed at anything at all other than Nigel getting a decent income and a decent pension, whether
that’s is in the House of Lords or…

CP: Or that’s what I’ve heard anyway…


WG: but a commission sees….


CP: Yeah That’s what I’ve heard. That’s the target, but my view if you do that the party’s is dead in

the water anyway.

WG: Yes it is


WG: No, he doesn’t care does he. I don’t think he does.


CP: Yes, No, I think that’s the final nail in the coffin, and he’s worried that he doesn’t want anybody

in a situation as an MEP that could take the party on, if he said ‘we’re doing this’ and then somebody
else in a prominent position could say well, no Nigel, we’re not doing that’.

WG: That’s he that’s why nobody with any personality


CP: Yes


WG: can get onto the list, isn’t it?


CP: Yeah. No no inaudble


WG: That’s why he keeps Paul Nuttall around. Paul is a competent MEP but Nigel knows he he could

never be leader.

CP: Him also, I think he’s blackmailing Paul as well


WG: Okay, Okay.


CP: but I won’t go there


CP: Something come up before about the the national selection


WG: yeah


CP: and Paul was vehemently against it


WG: yes


CP: and went into a room with Nigel, and then came out and didn’t say a word at the meeting,


WG Okay


CP: so I’m 99% positive he’s blackmailing him over Louise and other things.


WG: Yeah, yeah.


CP: And that’s why I think how he’s keeping Paul on check, cos Paul says he’s not even speaking to

Steve Crowther.

WG: Okay.


CP: I think that’s what Nigel’s got to has got his little black book, thats he’s attacking people on,


WG: yes


CP: I think that’s how he does it. If people are honest and he hadn’t got anything on them, he

doesn’t like that.

WG: yes yes


WG: It’s probably something he learned from Annabell.


CP: He did say that, yeah. Can I ask you a straight question?


WG: Yeah.


CP: it’s involving me


WG: yes


CP: Did the Steve Crowther have any involvement on my side when it came in front of the NEC?


WG: What…when it came to your three month suspension?


CP: Well no before that.


WG: What did you mean?


CP: Well did Steve have any conversations with you or anything separately or?


WG: I’ll give you an honest answer which is I can’t remember the details, but I was well aware that

Steve had a lot of activity towards you and had made it very clear that he would like to get you out
of the party and would do whatever he could to achieve that.

CP: that would be his aim, that ties up with what somebody else said as well


WG: okay yes


CP: somebody else quite high up has said exactly the same


WG: Do you remember when you arranged your conference, invited me and Katie to speak at it, or

me to speak at it, and I turned you down because Steve gave me a direct order that I wasn’t to
attend and that I wasn’t to have anything to do with you, and given that he was paying my paycheck
I went along.

CP: that’s obvious but, but it’s unbelievable…


WG: yes so


CP: it can’t believe,


WG: Just because, his argument to me was basically that it was a…that the conference was a project

designed to get you elected, and as we didn’t want to get you elected, we had to do our best to not
support it.

CP: That explains why Lisa and everybody else cancelled on Sunday as well, because they cancelled

on the Sunday, they were doing the Sunday training for people and they cancelled.

WG: Right


CP: I take it that They got the same?)


WG: I imagine so. I’m not aware but I’m sure they would have done, Steve was pretty ,pretty

animated about it, you know. And I trusted him, because I liked Steve, I didn’t really know him that
well, but I’d done a couple of bits of him, and I liked him and I guess he thought that because I liked
him he

WG: could get me to do what he wanted, you know. So it’s taken me quite a while to realise…that, I

haven’t still quite figured him out.

CP: But to be honest with you how can I say this.


WG: I know he doesn’t like Nigel, but on the other hand this is his career isn’t it.


CP: He says he doesn’t like Nigel but… I think that…


WG: But he knows that Nigel is his…


CP: Paymaster.


WG: Yes, exactly, his gravy train.


CP: I’m aware of the fact that…I mean Steve (first), I got on with okay,


WG: yes


CP: as a bloke he’s a really likeable bloke, but when you scratch beneath the surface and then you

see some of the antics that he does, it’s not for the party. He’s not got the party’s interest in mind.

WG: No, no, no. And that’s the fundamental point – that neither Nigel nor Steve have the party’s

interest in mind. There are a lot of other people in the party who don’t either, but that’s the nature
of politics, there’s a lot of people for who it is a career and they’d be happily doing this for the Tories
or Labour.

CP: Without any conviction at all


WG: Janice Atkinson, the betting in the office was how soon after being elected an MEP she defects

to the Tories.

CP: Yeah, yeah …it is unbelievable. I mean, I’ve been tipped off that Annabelle Fuller had something

to do with my thing in the Mirror. We’re getting evidence because apparently she’s had an affair
with editor of the Mirror.

WG: Okay, well yeah, but whoever she had an affair with.


CP: Me, me. I still think she’s a trollop. But that’s by the by, but no that’s, I had heard that from a

certain source as well. Which doesn’t surprise me because then

WG: inaudible


CP: Which would mean Steve could be behind it?


WG: Yeah.


CP: seriously Will I’m sorry for everything that’s happened, it’s daft and you get people in the party

then this happens It seems to be a common, common thing if you get anybody whose, who wants
to do anything…

WG: Yeah, yeah. It’s a shame…


CP: Whats The biggest shame is we stand such a chance


WG: yes


CP: to do so well


WG: yes yes, and you’ve got to do it the same way you done it in the past which was fine for winning

one by election at a time.

CP: yes


WG: yeah


CP: Yeah, never mind. Anyway I hope best of luck in the future Will


WG: Thank you very much.


CP: So I hope everything goes alright for you.


WG: Yeah.


CP: upon you anyway inaudible


WG: It’s just unprofessional, the whole thing, you know.


CP: Well mean you can turn round and say that you’ll work to the end of your contract and give you

six months whatever away, sort yourself out thats different. And if they gave you a straight list of
jobs of what they wanted you to do…

WG: Yeah, think about what could be achieved in that timeframe.


CP: Yeah, ‘look, this is what we want to achieve’, and then if it turns out in 6 months you’ve not

achieved any of them that’s a different kettle of fish. But when they’ve held your hands behind your
back and not let you do anything,

WG: yeah


CP: and then say well hold on, what…why…I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to do.


WG: Yeah. All of my complaints have been about not being given work to do, not about the opposite

you know.

CP: Oh well, never mind. Best of luck for the future Will, I hope it goes well.


WG: cool


CP: Cheers then Cool. Bye.


WG: Bye.


CP: Went through it quite clearly with him, more than understanding it


WG: yeah


CP: he kept going on the same tact the fact that ‘oh, it doesn’t matter the fact they weren’t on your

site’.erm I said of course it does, because that is what people think, that it was on my Facebook site.

WG: Yeah, yeah, yeah, although you were dammed if you did and damned if you didn’t in fact,

weren’t you.

CP: Yeah. yeah


WG: Because if you had admitted they were on your site he would have you for that, and if you had

said they weren’t he would have accused you of lying so.

CP: The downside is, he knows the fact we weren’t there. He knew we weren’t there afterwards.


WG: Okay, okay.


CP: I actually gave him the proof and sent it to him directly, showing him where they were.


WG: yeah


CP: I didn’t get that till I approached the news editor who actually sent it through to me


WG: Okay. Yeah


CP: But I’d like to think they’re what I (inaudible) because I’ve been told by somebody else he was

using it purposely to actually take me out the MEP position and to take me out of the party. Which
coincides with what you said.

WG: Yeah, I I know that that was something you wanted to do. I can’t tell you if there was any

specific plan at that instance other than he just saw this opportunity and thought that’s good you
know.

CP: I mean how long have you been…I mean who ever said why he wanted me out the party, has he

ever dropped that reason out or…? Is it down to Nigel or…?

WG: Yeah, its all been partly down to Nigel. I think it’s because you’re pushy and Nigel doesn’t like

anyone pushy because they might go for the leadership at some point.

CP: That’s ridiculous. I mean I can’t understand how Steve, after all the work, hard work I’ve done,

and other people have done with this MEP selection process he’s proved it, I mean all he’s done is
pick the people he wants there and anybody who stands half a chance of challenging are out the
running, be it Neil Hamilton,

WG: yeah


CP: be it Nattrass, be it Piers Wauchope all the people that are good people who should be on that

list aren’t there.

WG: Yeah, yeah, no I agree. And I think if Nigels Nigel protecting his position (inaudible).


CP: its unbelievable


WG: Yeah And that is why the party can’t achieve what it should have achieved, you know.


CP: You think that’s why Steve trying to take me out the party period its just because he thinks

obviously I’m pushy and

WG: Yeah, I mean… he has not been explicit to me so you can’t quote me and say ‘Steve says this’,

because I don’t know. But that’s the impression I got from Steve, I didn’t get the impression there
was anything else behind it, but there might be…maybe is there something that happened between
the two of you in the past?

CP: no


WG: inaudable


CP: No, no, no.


WG: Or anything like that, then I expect its just Steve and Nigel think you were getting too big for

your boots, building a power base for yourself.

CP: Right


WG: They only want one power base in the party, don’t they?


CP: yeah ridiculous


WG: In other parties there would be lots of power bases, in UKIP there have never been lots of

power bases have there?

CP: No…just one that’s that


WG: Yeah.


CP: But actually what peeves me off is that all the hard work you do for the party,


WG: yeah


CP: then you get treated like that.


WG: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no I understand that.


CP: I mean, after weeks of going out at weekends and doing the elections and no money from the

party and things like that, and you think well hold on, this is ridiculous.

WG: Yeah,


CP: I mean that the only one I can see is Steve being removed as chairman of the NEC, he’s obviously

got, got to much power which he’s wielding at his and Nigel behest and not for the benefit of the
members of the party.

WG: the problem is that he will be replaced by somebody else who relies on Nigel for his

employment you know,

CP: yeah


WG: the chairman is appointed at the whim of the leader that’s the rule isn’t it


CP: yeah


WG: there fore


CP: it probably got to change and be appointed by the will of the vote of the NEC.


WG: would seem a better way to do it


CP: that happens on other committees erm I assume that the only downside is the make up of the

NEC is probably too many people there reliant on it for their MEP postion.

WG: yeah


CP: it would be better once the MEP’s are out of the way, because..


WG: yeah


CP: then they might vote with their heart and conscience rather than how they are told to vote


WG: yeah


CP: okay well I just thought about that afterwards how much of rolls is he playing in this obviously


WG: you know in terms of what happened then that was simply you know Steve saw his opportunity

he got me to get somebody to have a look at your site and that was simply their report that was read
out, you know, I am not going to tell you who they are because they are still in the party, but I don’t
think they particularly had a grudge I think they were just doing what they were told, you know.

CP: right


WG: on the other hand clearly


CP: yes so he obviously portrayed it in a way,


WG: yeah


CP: the not that obviously just by him getting you to say that all the awful stuff had been deleted


WG: yeah


CP: then he used then he knew the fact that is wasn’t there in the first place


WG: yeah yeah


CP: Although it sound damming in front of the NEC, and in front of a disciplinary proceedings he

wouldn’t have got away with that, because I would have had witnesses there and evidence and gone
through everything bit by bit

WG: yeah


CP: it was like everything he threw at me at that meeting, erm from the thing about the what do you

call it, the rally in Boston, which he knew about, which had been passed by Paul, and the motion
which he told me to do exactly what I did do, and he knows he told me exactly what to do, and Piers
said the same erm and to throw all these things in it was obviously bazaar, I mean I should have had
a disciplinary action where I got a seven days notice where I could have took each but of evidence in
with me, to go through them

WG: yeah which is what Piers said isn’t it


CP: and that’s you know obviously he didn’t want that, because he thought he could actually con

peoples as a full NEC and twist the facts marginally enough to hit me with other stuff to make it, get
it passed.

WG: yeah


CP: through a disciplinary procedure he would need


WG: Katie is a bit more independent only a bit more but a bit more independent than the two of us


CP: yeah


WG: her view on Steve is he’s used to being the boss in his little agency where he was God, and he

has got that arrogance where it comes to that and he believes that you know that things should be
made to go his own way.

CP: regardless of how they are


WG: and you know like many people in the party he has an expectation that he’ll


Katie Snape: may just say something


WG: just a minute while I put it on Speaker yeah hold on


CP; Right

peerage

KS: hi Chris I have a theory, I kind of believe the conspiracy theory that Steve and Nigel are up for the


CP: yeah


KS; that the party will go then and the two of them will be in the House of Lords that’s all I have to

say

WG: it should be that the arrogance of being in charge to some extent makes him feel that he can

get away with anything, by shouting louder because he’s watched Nigel doing it for years and it has
worked well for Nigel

CP: yeah, it seems like he’s been playing the nice, nice policeman hard policeman in between


WG: yeah


CP: yet plays MR soppy happy go lucky but then just shouts every now an again in fact the actual

erm vote for the constitution on that weekend in Skegness when the Spring Conference was on,

WG: yeah


CP: erm I had not met anybody who had voted for it and we had a meeting at the had a meal an

Indian and it was 30 of us on the Saturday night

WG: yeah


CP: and half the table voted for it who were all, Tim Akars, Roger Bird the other half hadn’t they had

a meeting at the next day with 40 people nobody voted for it, and I have not met anybody since
who voted for it. So for the constitution to go through with a 96% vote it was more unbelievable to
say the least.

WG: yeah


CP: you just can’t believe it


WG: The things are just


CP; so you know whether they rigged it to a degree but then not a lot of people voted and that’s

why the constitution went through massively because they put so many votes in but obviously the
actual voting votes were less than they imagined

WG: yeah


CP; and that’s why it came out 96% because I have not met anybody yet who has voted for it apart

from 15 people sat around the table on the Saturday night.

WG: yep yep


CP: and it just goes when you go to previous NEC elections erm when I got elected Steves message

to me was, you can tell we don’t rig the elections because you’ve come top, and my answer Steve
was, well that doesn’t mean that you have not rigged it, I said you probably had rigged it but just
means that I am more popular than you thought I was,

WG: yeah yeah


CP: you know it wouldn’t surprise me that he’s not got 6 or 800 voting slips out there that they just

mysteriously put in every time.

WG: yeah yeah


CP: which is enough normally to top the balance of the scales


WG: yeah yeah


CP: yawning Sorry for troubling you Will, its er, I have heard about the peerage thing with Nigel and

I have heard the fact that we are supposed to be doing a pact with Tories in 2015.

WG: yeah


CP: which will kill the party


WG: yeah


CP: and there is no two ways about it anybody North of Watford won’t vote for us and


WG: and this is where it goes wrong for them I don’t think they necessarily have the power to do

such a thing

CP: they haven’t with a strong NEC, no, but if they have got an NEC of, you’ve got to look at what’s

happened with the national voting thing for the MEP selection

WG: yeah yea


CP: the reason they’ve got away with it because half the NEC have been looking to get on the MEP

band wagon not to push the region forward, just as a career opportunity and that that’s what’s
happened, they have got a lot of people there that have been looking for MEP election and so they
would sell their grandmother down the line for the ticket

WG: yes of course


CP: and that’s why the vote’s MP’s have been sat there happily voting along.


WG: yeah yeah of course


CP: so that’s what they are relying on is the complacent NEC that’s not gonna kick up a fuss


WG: yeah


CP: and that’s why three times its been on the NEC agenda about the coalition and three times Steve

has let it go off without a vote on it.

WG: yeah yeah


CP: erm and the same thing is at the NEC meeting in May when the actual MEP selection was

discussed and Steve quickly rushed through a list of names but it wasn’t put in front of people, that’s
when I stated quite clearly the fact that we shouldn’t have any paid employees as part of the
selection procedure and that’s including you Steve, and I said he stated he was on a long holiday
with nothing to do

WG: yes yes


CP; the reason he’s didn’t put the selection the selection and the assessment panel to the vote

because I said that as it had been agreed by people at my end of the table that he realised he
wouldn’t get away with it. But yet he has done it subsequently through the litigation by MIke
Nattrass,

WG: yeh


CP; he used that as a tool, to whip others into oh yes we will agree it or we will get an injunction


WG: yeah

CP; Never mind Will sorry for troubling you, I just thought about that afterwards last night so erm

obviously that was a big issue

WG; yes okay


CP; okay hopefully best of luck and I will meet you again in the future sometime when you get on

and get yourself sorted out

WG; yeah yeah cool cheers Bye


CP; Bye

Nigel Farage Defends his protege Matthew Richardson’s ‘Bigots Deserve Representation’ Comment!

000a ukip-025 count.png

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
here are more details of the comments made by Ukip’s senior staffer Matthew Richardson, an allegedly qualified and experienced barrister (look up more details about him via the search facility at the top of the >Right Sidebar<).

I am given to understand that this clown was introduced to Ukip by Annabelle Fuller and subsequently promoted by Nigel Farage – rather reminds one of when she introduced another ‘chum’ to Ukip, Stephen Sobey, or as he called himself Stephen Sobey-Neville, who she had been at Uni. with and who then worked for the Tory Party at Tory Party Central Office – on her recommendation Nigel Farage, against clear advice proving he was a fraud and a Tory plant, Stephen was put in a position of trust in the Press Office!

Eventually after he had orchestrated one disaster too many he was dumped by Farage!

What a surprise (NOT) when he turned up as a director of Fuller’s faux company Athena PR which worked for Nigel Farage!

One has to wonder if Matthew Richardson is yet another Annabelle Fuller plant and do note Nigel Farage, as late as this evening is defending this particular plant in the Ukip weed patch!

I guess one comfort Ukipper’s can take is that having finally been interviewed under caution by the police for her theft of a Blackberry recording phone device, confidential correspondence and a House of Commons Pass from the Tory MP Andrew Bridgen’s flat, and having tried to cover her theft, it seems, by claiming he had sexually assaulted her – a claim she soon dropped when she realised it was far from plausible and all but unsustainable.

Many will remember her claims of trauma! The evidence of which would seem to have been her shortly afterwards publishing photos of herself strutting her stuff at Ascot:
Horse Racing - The Royal Ascot Meeting 2011 - Day Four - Ascot Racecourse

By now I presume that the police will have passed her file to The CPS and the only relevant question is howmany other offences has she asked to be taken into consideration!

As Annabelle Fuller has admitted the theft openly, even bragged of it, it would seem that there is absolutely no possibility, if justice is to be seen to be done, that the CPS will fail to prosecute, particularly as the offence was one involving National Security!

Ukip’s Matthew Richardson Says Party ‘Should Represent Bigots’, Calls NHS A ‘Waste Of Money’

 
Posted: 24/01/2015 23:28 GMT Updated: 2 hours ago
MATTHEW RICHARDSON

The man recruited by Ukip to stop “bad stuff” about the party appearing in the media… has comically fluffed his lines by stating that Nigel Farage’s Party should represent ‘bigots’.

That’s right – “bigots”.

The same senior official also claimed the NHS was the “biggest waste of money in the UK”. The remarks were made by Matthew Richardson, the party’s secretary and a member of its national executive council.

According to The Sunday Times Richardson told a meeting last month: “I’ve said before, people talk about Ukip being bigots. There are hundreds of thousands of bigots in the United Kingdom and they deserve representation.” He also joked about party leader Nigel Farage, saying: “He’s a Kent man. Well, sounds like Kent, anyway.”

Richardson added that the Ukip leader would “have to be a moron” to put the party’s plan for a turnover tax for businesses in its manifesto. He insisted the comments were “clearly light-hearted harmless banter in the pub” and did “not reflect any seriously held belief”.

He added: “I don’t recall the conversation taking place but some of the words attributed to me are actually a quote from the late (Tory MP) Eric Forth, which if they were spoken at all would have been on a discussion about him. None of this is reflective of my own views or those of the party and I am sure any reader would recognise the difference between a formal party position and the sort of jag lots of people have with their mates while having a drink.”

Meanwhile, footage from 2010 of Richardson attacking the health service at events in the USA were released by Labour. Speaking at the Young Americans Foundation conference in Washington he said: “When I was younger a trillion was an astronomic number. Now when I look at our national deficits, and your national deficits, actually it is an economic number.

“A number I couldn’t possible imagine when I was younger is now the amount of money that is owed by my country, and soon more than that by your country, to other countries, paying for wasteful socialist programmes. And of course at the heart of this, the Reichstag bunker of socialism is the National Health Service.”

At the Conservative Political Action Conference in the same year he said: “This socialist government wastes money like you can’t imagine. They have started doing every wasteful scheme under the sun … The biggest waste of money of course in the United Kingdom is the NHS, the National Health Service.”

The release of the footage signals a more aggressive approach to Ukip from Labour, which faces losing ground to Farage’s party in some of its northern heartlands – as shown in the Heywood and Middleton by-election in October where Ed Miliband’s party could only manage a narrow victory.

Richardson was reportedly appointed last year to help prevent unfavourable stories about the party making it into the media, but Ukip insisted he was not involved with the press operation.

Labour’s Jon Trickett, shadow minister without portfolio, said: “Either Nigel Farage supports this or Mr Richardson cannot stay in post. Nigel Farage cannot simultaneously defend these comments and claim that his party stands for the NHS free at the point of use. The man chosen by Nigel Farage to control Ukip’s image has compared the NHS to Hitler’s Nazi bunker. This is Ukip’s real agenda on the NHS.

“Today Labour is shining a light on Nigel Farage and his party’s true views on the future of the NHS. They claim to defend the service we cherish, but they want to dismantle its foundations. Ukip can no longer attempt to fool people. They are a party of Tory people, Tory money and they want to extend the worst Tory policies, which would have horrific effects on working people.”

A Ukip spokeswoman played down the significance of Richardson’s comments, pointing out he was not an elected representative or party spokesman. She said: “He is a very talented barrister and does his job extremely well. He is not involved with the party’s press operation.”

Earlier on Saturday, Ukip’s communities spokesman defected to the conservative Party. Amjad Bashir, who represents Yorkshire and the Humber, met with David Cameron on Friday and was due to announce his defection on Saturday evening.

However, before the switch was made public, Ukip announced that Bashir had been suspended from the party for “extremely serious” allegations including unanswered financial and employment questions. A senior Tory told the Press Association that the suspension by Ukip was a “desperate attempt” to play down the impact of Bashir’s defection.

Hi, yet again Ukip are in the clutches of a catastrophe following now on the heels of the previous catastrophy:
Embedded image permalink
now to add to Tim Aker walking out as their manifesto maestro just a few short weeks prior to its launch, leaving them in an insoluable disarray – assuming they wish to present a manifesto that isn’t amateur drivel now they have yet another problem. It does seem that Ukip are determined to deliver fantastic results with around a catastrophe a day!:
Let us not forget that Nigel Farage personally selected Amjad Bashir and paraded him as Ukip’s token high profile non Caucasian Muslim, in efforts to try to make it appear Ukip was not a racist party despite the clear facts that show they are. You will note from The Sunday Times that Matthew Richardson Ukip’s party secretary has stated ‘Ukip is proud to represent the many bigots who live in the UK’. Meanwhile the vile racist Gerard Batten a founder member of Ukip and a long term Ukip MEP is making much of his personal superstitions and seeking to demean Muslims in a manner likely to incite racial hatred based on their beliefs! Nigel Farage and Ukip have been well aware that their token Muslim Amjad Bashir’s restaurunt in Manchester had been raided in relation to employment of illegal immigrants, surely even Ukip could not have been so stupid they did not read the press! Yet Ukip took absolutely no action of cautious distancing or denouncing the problems and Nigel Farage went so far as to say that ‘We will be defending the charges’ (has he shares in the reastaurant or was he recruiting immigrants for Bashir? Otherwise why did he say ‘We’? Now all of a sudden, having continued to parade Bashir in the most racist manner possible, ie as some sort of token, it is announced AFTYER Amjad Bashir had a meeting with David Cameron and defected to the Tories – Ukip spokesmen are falling over themselves and likely to drown in their own sour grapes as they seek to denounce him and claim to be presenting evidence to the police! Perhaps the British public would be better served were Ukip to denounce the vile behaviour of Annabelle Fuller, one of Nigel Farage’s mistresses as announced in the EUropean Parliament and call for Police charges for her having stolen a Blackberry Phone device, a House of Commons pass and private/confidential correspondence from Tory MP Andrew Bridgen and seemingly making dishonest claims of being sexually assaulted, which resulted in Bridgen being diviorced and distanced from his children despite Annabelle Fuller realising her claims were unsupportable and implausible. FULLER, Annabelle 07 However Ukip’s behaviour is clearly all too similar to the worst excesses of self interest we have come to expect from the low grade political aspirant we find in office these days. UKIP ARCHIVE SKELETON 01 Consider the reports below from the media:

UKIP MEP Amjad Bashir suspended over ‘serious’ financial issues

Amjad Bashir

A UKIP MEP who was poised to defect to the Conservatives has been suspended over financial and employment concerns.

Party leader Nigel Farage said there were “extremely serious” questions which Amjad Bashir had not answered.

The allegations against him include claims of interference with the candidate selection process, according to the party.

Mr Bashir rejected the claims as “absurd and made-up allegations”.

A UKIP spokesman said evidence obtained by the party in the course of its own investigations had been forwarded to the police.

The spokesman said: “The UK Independence Party has a zero-tolerance policy and takes the matters at hand extremely seriously.

“The allegations against Mr Bashir are of a grave nature and we will be forwarding our evidence obtained so far to the police.”

In a statement on its website, UKIP disclosed one of the reasons Mr Bashir has been suspended was his “continued affiliation” with Mujeeb Bhutto, who was involved in a Pakistani kidnapping gang.

Ukip MEP Amjad Bashir defects to Conservative Party

UKIP MEP Amjad Bashir calls on people of Pakistani descent to condemn child abuses in Rotherham

One of the UK Independence Party’s most senior politicians has defected to the Conservatives in a major blow to Nigel Farage’s general election campaign.
Amjad Bashir, a Ukip MEP and the party’s leading Asian figure, told The Telegraph that Ukip had become a “party of ruthless self-interest” that was incapable of delivering a referendum on membership of the European Union.
In a damning broadside against his former colleagues, he described Ukip as “pretty amateur” and condemned its “ridiculous” lack of policies. He said the party was “delusional” about its chances of winning seats in May.
On Saturday night Ukip suspended Mr Bashir for alleged financial and employment irregularities.
A Ukip spokesman said evidence obtained by the party in its investigations would be sent to the police.

But Mr Bashir described the move as a “desperate attempt” by Ukip to limit the damage of his defection.

He said: “On Friday I met David Cameron and applied to join the Conservative Party. It is clear Ukip’s action today is a desperate attempt to spoil this and is without any foundation.

“The issues raised in my notice of suspension are historic and well known to the party. Indeed, on one of them, Nigel Farage has publicly defended me over it.”

A Ukip source said the party had learned that Mr Bashir was defecting at midday on Saturday. Ukip issued a notice to Mr Bashir suspending him at about 5pm.

Mr Bashir, a Muslim and Ukip’s chief spokesman on communities, said he had decided to defect because only the Conservatives were in a position to control immigration and give voters a say over whether the UK should remain in Europe.

His departure will hurt Mr Farage, who had been planning to energise his election campaign with a round of set-piece media appearances today. Instead, the Ukip leader is now having to deal with the loss of his most prominent figure from an ethnic minority background.

David Cameron said he was “absolutely delighted” to welcome Mr Bashir into the Tory fold and urged voters who have supported Ukip to “come back” to the Conservatives at the general election.

The Prime Minister said that Mr Bashir’s move proved the election was not a “beauty contest” but a straight choice between a competent Conservative government and the “chaos” of Labour under Ed Miliband.

His defection represents a coup for the Tories as the general election campaign enters its final 100 days this week.

Mr Bashir had been one of Ukip’s leading lights even before he was elected to the European Parliament last May as MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber. He had been described as Mr Farage’s “secret weapon”.

As a Pakistani immigrant, he was regularly deployed by spin doctors as evidence that Ukip is not racist, after a succession of activists and candidates made derogatory comments about Muslims and ethnic minorities.

Mr Bashir’s defection will ignite the contest between the Conservatives and Ukip for the votes of Eurosceptics on the Right. It will be particularly welcome for the Tories, after they lost two MPs — Mark Reckless and Douglas Carswell — to Ukip last year.

In an article for The Telegraph, Mr Bashir says: “After almost three years as a party member, I realise that Ukip is more concerned with furthering its own interests as a political party than delivering for the British people.

“I’ve seen Ukip both at home, and abroad, and I’m sorry to say they’re pretty amateur. In the European Parliament, some of their MEPs think it’s acceptable to shout and fool around.”

He adds: “They think they’ll sweep up dozens of seats in May, but that’s delusional. What they are in very real danger of doing, however, is making a big enough dent in the Conservative vote to let Labour in.”

Mr Cameron told The Telegraph during a meeting with Mr Bashir that he understood why voters had supported Ukip in the past, when the Coalition had taken some unpopular decisions.

“I understand why some people have drifted away to Ukip,” Mr Cameron said. “I want to genuinely win those people back by saying look, we are the only party that can offer the strong immigration control this country needs; we are the only party that can deliver that referendum that the British people deserve.

“And crucially, this general election is not a by-election, it’s not a beauty contest, it is not a chance to send a message or make a statement, it is about choosing a government of the United Kingdom.”

Mr Cameron said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Amjad has decided to leave Ukip and join the Conservative Party. His story is inspiring. It’s another sign that in this great country of ours you can come to Britain without very much and you can be a member of the European Parliament, an MP, sit in the Cabinet.”

Meanwhile, Mr Cameron said broadcasters’ new format of two television election debates with seven parties followed by one with just himself and Mr Miliband showed “I was right to say you needed all the minor parties involved”.

Hi,it is clear that I have been right all along both in the irrefutable truth that:
The higher up the tree the monkey climbs the more you see its @rse‘!

But also that Nigel Farage has some skills as a performer but he is an unreliable and untrustworthy leader:

MONKEY 03 - joe-bushNigel Farage
is a clever performing monkey
but he is no organ grinder
It is clear that Nigel Farage’s control over his feifdom is starting to suffer as clearly he was out of his depth when he tried to lead 13 MEPs and buy the end of the parliament half of them had rejected his leadership openly.This parliament is proving yet more beyond his ability and with an upcoming election he seems to have fallen out with both his principal backers and numerous of his MEPs and is pretending to manage the party which is on the verge of collapse both internally and in the polls.

We have the risible spectacle of his chosen PPCs for the coming elections proving so badly selected and lacking in training they are showing up as the laughing stock they clearly are as with:

UKIP candidate Dr Jonathan Munday apologises over STD tweet

Twitter commentDr Munday, candidate for Wellingborough and Rushden, apologised for the “foolish” Twitter comment

A UKIP parliamentary candidate said he had been “foolish” for appearing to suggest a woman might have a sexually-transmitted disease (STD).

Angry at a tweet claiming UKIP leader Nigel Farage did not support the NHS, Dr Jonathan Munday replied, asking the Twitter user if she had an STD.

He said as a GP, who had worked in the the NHS for 31 years, he was annoyed at his support being questioned.

Dr Munday, candidate for Wellingborough and Rushden, has apologised.

In his reply to the tweet, Essex-born Dr Munday wrote: “Both Nigel and I support the NHS. I have worked in it for 31 years. What has been your contribution – Piles and STD?”

In a statement, a UKIP spokesman said: “Dr Munday accepts that his response was foolish, and apologises for that, but after a long day in his surgery he was annoyed by false carping claims that he didn’t care for the NHS.

“He feels that his 30 years as a GP stands for itself in his support for the NHS and our healthcare system.”

Then we have the example of Ukip’s MEP Steven Woolfe who has had several skirmishes with Farage but would seem to have had enough and has supplied very damaging material, first published on this blog several years ago, material he has obviously seperately substantiated.That this was published in The Sun with a circulation of around 3 Million can hardly be considered helpfull:

.
FARAGE, Nigel  113 Hol THE SUN 22-Jan-2015Whilst that was published on the 21st we then had the spectacle of Paul Nuttall making Farage’s cult look shoddy in the extreme on Question Time with an odious attack on the Scots as if they were all as vile and as foolish as Alex Salmond and Alec Salmond and ensuring no one went away believing that Ed Milliband was the only ‘wierd’ politician as he had his strident and unpleasant nationalist rants only out performed as a fool and in sheer unpleasantness by Dian Abbott!No doubt the idiotic Paul Nuttall was boyed up in his bid to be a future leader of Ukip as it plunges to obscurity by his ‘friend‘ the Ukip MEP Louise Bours who had the prevuious day made a full attack on Nigel Farage over health policy, no doubt in the hope of strengthening her ‘close‘ associate Nuttall’s position to challenge Farage.

Outclassing all of them we had the Ukip PPC for  suggesting that all the unemployed and those claiming benefits should have their cars confiscated to ease congestion on the roads as with:

These are noty isolated cases  – why would they be in a party which functions far more like a cult than grown up politicians a cult of wierdos performing as the claque for their ‘Glorious Leader’
FARAGE, Nigel 94 ORCHESTRATING A DEFECTION 01Who runs the party from the center, making much of being a Libertarian democrat he has had his finger in the pie for 20 years and hardly a single selection, election or appointment has escaped his malign influence – though to be fair he has used both salaried, ie Mark Croucher, Gawain Towler, Malcolm Wood, Peter Reeve, etc. and the elected muppets behaving as a libertine rather than Libertarian as authoritarian rather than democrat and in a constant self interest, as would any cult leader.Due to lack of leadership and deeply flawed ambitions there is no vision in the cult, no intellectual heart nor gravitas of purpose – hence after 22 years of claiming to wish to Leave_The_EU the cult has lost sight of its aims lacking even a workable, ethical and honourable EU eXit and survival strategy as it chases the willow the whisp of populism jumping on any passing band wagon with a totally unskilled and untrained leadership propped up by the ambitions of its cult claque.

Endless stupidity and the belief that gimmicks can substitute for hard work and the rigors of intellectual input with refined research.

As a party Ukip has utterly failed as it is now, with its racism, lies, bullying, squabbling, internal vituperative in fighting and lack of direction backed up by the ignorance of both its leadership and their claque and the refugees from their own failures as typified by the percentage of members and supporters who are hidden behind each controversy, who draw their origins from the spent, odiousand useless National Front or BNP.Ukip is beset with those who have gained positions due to the lack of training, poor judgement and failure of any viable selection processes, many of which are merely to ensure no risk of competition with those controlling the selections.

Just how did this woman get to a position where she so effectively brought Ukip into disrepute:
ATKINSON, Janice 02Or the endless flow of Ukip bufoons featuring in the media whether that is Gerard Batten with his vile anti Islamic racism, or those blaming the weather on the sanctioning of marriage for homosexuals.
Or the numerous branches at war as with Southend CLICK HERE Tyneside Jarrow CLICK HERE and the like and on and on and on.It is very rare to see any kind of story in the media about Ukip that is other than damaging and demeaning, and increasingly so, which clearly indicates just why in real terms support for Ukip is now on a slow burn collapse having peaked before Christmas and now even their principlal donors are pulling the carpet out on them.

It is all but impossible to identify anyone in Ukip who is not a crass incompetent and a self serving joke – It is not that Ukip are being picked on by an unkind media it is that they are the story that gives and gives with scandal, stupidity and squabbling in serial supply.

Damaging Ukip Leaks Reveal Nigel Farage’s Fears That Party Isn’t Being Straight With Voters

Posted: 21/01/2015 10:10 GMT Updated: 9 minutes ago
NIGEL FARAGE
Nigel Farage was at the centre of a leak crisis today after a string of embarrassing admissions from Ukip’s ruling executive revealed he was worried the party was “not passing the credibility test” and being straight with voters.

In one set of minutes leaked to the Daily Mirror from a meeting of Ukip’s national executive, Farage told top Ukip members that the party’s “problem” was that it was “promising the earth to everybody” by making pledges that it could not afford.

The emergence of Farage’s concerns about Ukip’s policies, as expressed in April 2013, is highly damaging as the Ukip leader has rushed this week to steady his party after he was slapped down by his own health spokeswoman after calling for a debate on funding the NHS through a US-style private insurance system, and his policy chief had to step down after reportedly being unable to come up with any policies.

“NF [Nigel Farage] thinks we cannot talk about council tax cuts and spending more on policing etc all at the same time, we are setting ourselves up for a fall,” the minutes state. “His problem is that we are promising the earth to everybody.”

A Ukip spokesman told the Huffington Post UK that Farage was making clear that the party needed to provide “policy solutions that are costed, achievable and credible”.

He added: “What these leaked NEC documents show clearly is that from the very start of our policy process Ukip is driven by an understanding that the political elite have lied, lied and lied again. Ukip is not going to make those mistakes and will ensure that its policies chime with the electorate because they are possible.

“Unlike the establishment who rule by deception, Ukip believes that politics is and must be the art of the possible”.

Ukip has been rocked by second embarrassing leak of minutes that show senior Ukip members wanted to back a “radical” privatisation of the NHS, but felt it was impossible for now as “the public love it”.

According to minutes leaked to the Political Scrapbook blog, Ukip’s national executive committee unanimously approved a policy of undertaking a cost-benefit analysis of having the NHS funded through private insurance, an idea Farage has recently suggested.

During the meeting in October 2012, one member of Ukip’s ruling executive lamented that “in the longer term we want a radical approach but we cannot do that in this time frame.”

Another said that the party “cannot change [the NHS] wholesale because the public love it”, adding: “When the sky does not fall in from the current changes, we will be able to come up with a radical policy.“

A Ukip spokesperson confirmed that the party looked at the private insurance model, but that the ruling executive “decided the costs outweighed the benefits”.

However, the leaks pile more pressure on Farage who has tried to move Ukip on from a rift over the future of the NHS that he re-opened after warning that all parties will “have to return” to a debate on funding the health service through a US-style private insurance system, despite admitting to failing “outright” to persuade the party in 2012 to back this form of NHS privatisation.

In response to Farage’s comments, Ukip’s health spokeswoman Louise Bours MEP slapped down her leader, claiming that party members would inevitably reject their leader’s proposed health insurance system if it came up for debate again.

She went on: “Nigel is entitled to his opinion and others are entitled to theirs, we don’t whip people into all thinking the same thing, like the establishment parties. As he has said before, he raised the idea for discussion a while ago, the party discussed at and rejected it.

“I am certain that if the party discuss it again, we will reject it again. The vast majority of Ukip members, the British public and I will always favour a state funded NHS.”

Last year, Farage was forced to backtrack on comments he made in 2012 after a footage emerged of him stating that he would “feel more comfortable” with the NHS run by private companies and organised under an insurance-based system.

He later insisted it was just an idea he “threw out for debate”, with the party’s policy on the NHS now “settled” against privatisation.

But asked by BBC political editor Nick Robinson for his documentary “Can Democracy Work?” if he stood by his view that the NHS could not be sustainably funded just from the public purse, Farage said: “There is no question that healthcare provision is going to have to be very much greater in 10 years than it is today, with an ageing population, and we’re going to have to find ways to do it.”

Farage’s remarks were condemned by Labour shadow health secretary Andy Burnham, who said: “Nigel Farage has confirmed that a vote for Ukip is a vote for the privatisation of the NHS and for a full American healthcare system.

“Farage admits he says one thing in public about the NHS but another behind closed doors. He has shown Ukip’s statements on protecting the NHS to be hollow.

“Ukip claim to stand up for working people, but in reality they are more Tory than the Tories. Farage will never be able to distance himself from his real views. He should be honest with the public.”

The Ukip leader has tried to dismiss the row, blaming it on “dirty tricks” by other parties and the media.

 

However, despite stressing his opposition to handing control of the NHS to “faceless private-sector companies”, Farage has also in the past called for corporations to be allowed to “run the National Health Service and streamline it”.

He told the Telegraph: “I genuinely do think, when you… occasionally hear of a big businessman that says he’d like to run the National Health Service and streamline it, and get better value for money, I think that’s the approach we’ve got to take.”

“If you’re going to cut government spending,” the party leader made clear as he hosted a phone-in with the newspaper’s readers, “you have to decide where those cuts are going to come.”

In welcome news for Ukip, the party has welcomed one of its highest profile Labour defectors as the mayor of Bishop Auckland, County Durham, has announced he is joining the Eurosceptic party.

Councillor Colin Race, a life-long Labour voter, told colleagues at a town council meeting that he saw Ukip has the only party which “stuck up for the working families”.

The defection, which was announced last night, was welcomed by Ukip’s MEP for the North East, Jonathan Arnott, who said: “Labour Party members across our region are simply realising that the incredibly wealthy individuals who sit at the top of the Labour Party don’t, and make no attempt to, work for hard-working, law-abiding citizens across the country.

“Only Ukip are offering a sensible, credible alternative to the Labour Party who have neglected the North East for years.”

Holding A Mirror To The Lies Of Ukip but fair play to Nigel Farage & his placemen they are well aware they are telling lies and almost bright enough to realise they just aren’t credible to thinking people!

Hi,clearly Ukip and what passes for their executive have learned absolutely nothing from the lessons, which they admitted to in April 2013.

Ukip realised they were telling lies to the electorate and their promises just did not add up, leading to a credibility gap where the more intelligent voters just could not believe their promises and unfunded policy claims.

It does seem that in fact they did learn something, to be fair, they learned they couldn’t get away with it so they seem merely to have dropped their standards and have continued telling the public lies but now have made a policy decision (rare in Ukip!) they seem now to be pandering to ther less well educated and poorly informed in society to seek out the populist vote.

This would seem to be a ploy well learned from the likes of Oswald Mosley and Adolf Hitler who used both overt and concealed racism to sweep the gutters of politics for any available vote, hate filled as it may have been.

Clearly the policy worked and Oswald Mosley was voted man of the year in 1934 and Hitler featured on Time magazine’s cover as the man of the year in 1938 as it worked for them clearly it worked for Nigel Farage, who became man of the year 2014, by telling lies and steering his cult down market to pander to that same audience.

Interestingly he failed in Scotland where he was rivalled in the same ploy by Alex Salmond!

That these facts are still irrefutable less than 100 days befor Britain’s General Election and Ukip still has neither a credible Manifesto nor any signs of a responsible, reputable policy for an EU eXit and survival strategy – surely no one but the illiterate and semie literate bigots and all be it veiled racists could possibly be so irresponsible as to vote for a Ukip candidate.

There are, I am sure, still some die hard principled members of Ukip who have remained in the party long past the time their common sense and ethics dictated, in the vein hope they just might be able to reform it from within. Sadly a hope that has been swamped by the corruption, squabbling, infighting and clear lack of principles competent leadership.

I still find it embarrassing to admit that although I was not adequately beguiled to join Ukip as a member nor accept any position with the party I did spend an inordinate amount of time acting behind the scenes to try to change its direction to make it credible as the party to lead the British peoples out of the EU.

Sadly, I confess, I failed and Ukip are now more of a hinderance to any hopes Britain has of repatriating our democracy, reinstating our sovereignty, re-establishing our borders and reforming our justice system by the fundamental human right, as defined by the UN and others, of ‘self determination’ and a clear unequivocal vote to Leave_The_EU.

It is for this reason that I shall refuse to place my cross against any whipped party hack which would be to spoil my ballot paper and I will, as I have done for many years, clearly write on my ballot paper the only political view I value LEAVE_THE_EU

Nigel Farage admits Ukip is NOT a credible party and has not been honest with voters

 Ukip Leader Nigel Farage

Not credible: Ukip Leader Nigel Farage

Two-faced Nigel Farage privately told pals UKIP is not a “credible” party, secret papers reveal today.

In an explosive party document leaked to the Mirror he admits “promising the earth to everybody”.

He told UKIP chums the party had a “problem” due to a raft of unaffordable pledges including tax cuts, and extra cash for police.

“We are not passing the credibility test as a party,” said Mr Farage, who has repeatedly claimed UKIP is always honest with voters.

Neil and Christine Hamilton.
Warning: Neil Hamilton with wife Christine

But the leaked papers – minutes of a meeting of UKIP’s ruling executive – show the party’s top brass brazenly admit they have not been straight with the public.

UKIP deputy chairman Neil Hamilton – the disgraced ex-Tory MP – warned colleagues: “This is the last time we can get away with this.

“We can say anything on the doorstep.

“But on television we will have some pretty searching questions to answer.”

At the meeting, in April 2013, a panicking Mr Farage agreed voters are starting to see through UKIP’s endless unfunded promises.

The minutes state: “NF (Nigel Farage) thinks we cannot talk about council tax cuts and spending more on policing etc all at the same time.

“We are setting ourselves up for a fall.

“His problem is that we are promising the earth to everybody.”

The minutes go on: “NF feels we are not passing the credibility test as a party.”

UKIP claimed it had “taken on board” Mr Farage’s warnings and changed its ways.

Labour MP Sarah Champion said the damaging leak lays bare the truth behind UKIP’s public charade.

“This is absolutely typical of UKIP politicians who say one thing on the telly but have entirely different views in private,” she blasted.

Farage And UKIP Split On NHS Privatisation

Nigel Farage suggests private insurance should fund the NHS but his health spokeswoman says UKIP supports state funding.

13:27, UK, Tuesday 20 January 2015

Louise Bours

Divisions at the top of UKIP have started to emerge after Nigel Farage and his health spokeswoman disagreed over the need for private health insurance to fund the NHS.

The UKIP leader said in an interview that the state-funded health service would in future need to be replaced with a private insurance model.

However, hours later he was slapped down by his own health spokeswoman Louise Bours who said Mr Farage was “entitled to his opinion” but the party had discussed and “rejected” the idea.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage talks to Sky News

Nigel Farage says an insurance-funded NHS model must be debated

Mr Farage had said private health insurance would be a “debate” to be returned to as the health service struggles to cope with an ageing population.

In a video from 2012, which emerged last year, Mr Farage set out his ideas for health funding, saying: “I think we are going to have to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare.

 
 

Video: 04/01/15 Farage On NHS Jobs

“Frankly, I would feel more comfortable that my money would return value if I was able to do that through the market place of an insurance company than just us trustingly giving £100 billion a year to central government and expecting them to organise the healthcare service from cradle to grave for us.”

In the interview for Radio 4’s Can Democracy Work? today, Mr Farage added: “There is no question that healthcare provision is going to have to be very much greater in 10 years than it is today, with an ageing population, and we’re going to have to find ways to do it.”

He has also said no foreigners should be allowed into the UK unless they can prove they have private health insurance to pay for medical expenses.

NHS funding has become a key battleground ahead of the General Election with the Tories, Labour and the Lib Dems all pledging increases in state funding.

In parts of the country Labour has seen UKIP make inroads into its support and a move to privatising the NHS would likely prove a vote loser.

Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said a vote for UKIP was a “vote for the privatisation of the NHS”.

He added: “UKIP claim to stand up for working people, but in reality they are more Tory than the Tories. Farage will never be able to distance himself from his real views. He should be honest with the public.”

Ms Bours told the Huffington Post: “What people have to realise about UKIP is that we are much more democratic than other parties.

“Nigel is entitled to his opinion and others are entitled to theirs, we don’t whip people into all thinking the same thing, like the establishment parties. As he has said before, he raised the idea for discussion a while ago, the party discussed at and rejected it.

“I am certain that if the party discuss it again, we will reject it again. The vast majority of UKIP members, the British public and I will always favour a state-funded NHS.”

It is hard to work out what Ukip policy is as they seem to have become obsessed with immigration and anti Islamic rhetoric wich to most of us is just a thinly disguised form of racism.The xenophobic aspect is largely pandering to the failed in society who find themselves squeezed out of jobs by harder working and more determined EU immigrants from some of the old Communist block, who actually know what poverty really is and are determined to be gainfully employed at any cost.

Even when Ukip’s Manifesto is presented by The Glorious Leader of the cult one can not be sure it will turn out to be other than drivel, even with a glowing forward written for him and signed off by him!

Diane James one of Ukip’s more presentable MEPs has of couirse been in some form a consultant to and lobbyist in the field of the NHS and would surely have made a far more plausible health spokesman for the party than Paul Nuttall’s protege the ill mannered and mouthy Louise Bours (Dutch I presume!), who would seem to be on a mission to damage Nigel Farage so that her ‘chum’ would be better placed in any leadership bid!

That the tax payer’s pockets are not bottomless would seem to have dawned on some in Ukip and that they have failed to credibly cost any of their various woolly policies means that inevitably such high cost projects as the NHS are going to require an entirely different management structure and control on spending – obviously a nationally controlled insurance type scheme is well worthy of debate and only a moron would believe that thwe NHS can continue forward into the future without much greater control.

That Ms. Bours makes the grossly inaccurate statement that:

“I am certain that if the party discuss it again, we will reject it again. The vast majority of UKIP members, the British public and I will always favour a state-funded NHS.”
The NHS is not nor should it ever be considered to be ‘State Funded’ a notion introduced by the idiotic champagne Socialist after the appointment by Clem Atlee in 1945 of Aneurin Bevan and his extreme Communist wife Jenny Lee. A concept that Labour were determined to stamp as their imprimatur when they set out to destroy The Beveridge Plan they had undertaken to implement and support whichever party won the election.That Aneurin Bevan is described by socialists as the architect of the NHS is pure twaddle, it was he who was charged to build it in accord with Lord Beveridge’s Report, yet he could not help himself and tampered with the basic tennets leading to the polityicising of the service in just the way Ms. Bours has misunderstood it.

This is so typical of Ukip with their low grade appointees and Nigel Farage’s selection for preferment – they lack the gravitas and intellect for the task as is so manifest in the lack of achievement of Ukip, beyond duping the ignorant as a protest vote in EU elections!

How long is it since yuou last heard anyone in Ukip put forward a coherent, consistent and plausible case to Leave_The_EU now that they have jumped on the immigrant band wagon – so 22 years and still no responsible, viable EU eXit & survival strategy just endless bad publicity for their lack of coherent policy, overt and clandestine racism and their odious associates as they pander to the lowest common denominator in a race for the gutter and populism.

Perhaps we will find out just how scraped the barrel is and how the outfall of the ferrets fighting in the Ukip sack has mapped out as we note the various rumours regarding Tim Aker’s having quit as policy supremo within a month of the launch of Ukip’s Manifesto which in what can only be an emergency it has been announced that Suzanne Evans has been tasked with producing the document for Farage – which may well lead to increasing his insecurity and internal rivalry, as he will be tasked with the forward and signing of the document whatever drivel it contains, as he did in 2010 only to denounce his own document and seek to blame David Bannerman for the drivel!

I understand, from a normally unimpeachable source well connected in the upper levels of Ukip’s waring hierarchy – it would seem that Tim Aker’s associate and supporter Robert Ray is to apear in court shortly on drink driving charges subsequent to an event organised by or at least for Nigel Farage.

This may well be the cause of Tim Aker’s fall from grace:

Cllr Robert Ray — who leads the party’s growing group on Thurrock council — hit the headlines last September after it emerged he was a former official and candidate with the far-right National Front.

While his involvement with the party was in the 1970s, Cllr Ray has freely admitted that he stands by his election literature from the period.

THE leader of the UKIP group on Thurrock Council has been charged with drink driving after a late night incident at a fundraising function attended by national party leader Nigel Farage and MEP Tim Aker.

Cllr Robert Ray was arrested in the early hours of last Friday morning after a dinner at the Orsett Hall Hotel.

A statement by Essex police said: “A man has been charged with drink driving after being arrested at Orsett. Robert Ray, 65, of Purfleet Road, Aveley, was stopped by officers at Orsett Hall at 2.15am on Friday, 13 June. He has been bailed and will appear at Basildon Magistrates’ Court on 1 July.

The event at Orsett Hall was a £55 a head fundraiser for UKIP organised by the Thurrock branch of UKIP, which is supporting Mr Aker in his quest to ‘double up’ as a Westminster MP after his success in the recent East of England European elections. He has been nominated as the party’s candidate for the Borough seat.

It is understood that Mr Farage and Mr Aker had left the function well before its close and that Mr Ray was leaving the scene himself in the early hours with his wife, and fellow councillor, Maggie O’Keefe-Ray.

Cllr O’Keefe-Ray, 62, was a recent winner in the local government elections for Thurrock Council, winning a seat to serve Aveley and Uplands, which her husband also represents.

Cllr O’Keefe-Ray, who suffers from a thyroid condition, blacked out, falling and cutting her head. Fellow party-goers alerted emergency services and when police arrived Mr Ray was arrested in charge of his car.

Mrs O’Keefe-Ray  was taken to Basildon Hospital by ambulance where she was treated and later released.

“It was all very unfortunate and we are feeling very embarrassed,” Cllr Mrs O’Keefe told the Enquirer.

My condollences to her husband and family, who I have never met, as it seems the final oputcome of the evening in question may well have been the tragic news in the following article:

UKIP councillor Maggie O’Keefe-Ray dies

By YourThurrock  |  Posted: September 25, 2014

Maggie O'Keefe Ray

Maggie O’Keefe Ray


UKIP councillor for Aveley and Uplands, Maggie O’Keefe-Ray has died.

The news was announced by UKIP on Thursday morning.

A spokesperson for UKIP said:

“UKIP Thurrock is sad to inform you that yesterday, 24th September 2014, Cllr Maggie O’Keeffe-Ray passed away.

 

She had been in Queen’s Hospital fighting a brain haemorrhage. Unfortunately the damage was too severe, that despite the best efforts of medical teams at Queen’s, nothing could be done. We would like to thank the teams at Queen’s for all the care and love they showed Maggie in her time there.

Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Cllr Robert Ray and their family at this time.

Tributes have been paid to Maggie.

Tim Aker MEP, a close friend to Maggie and Robert said “Maggie lit up any room she was in. She had a smile and the time of day for anyone. We are all devastated and upset, but she will want us to soldier on. She will always be with us.”

 

Cllr Graham Snell, leader of the UKIP group on Thurrock council said “Maggie was the heart and soul of our branch. She was always ready with a big hug and a bigger smile.”

At this time, we request that the family are given privacy.

GUIDO FAWKES 01

January 20th, 2015

UKIP Hit Puberty: Slam Doors, Shouts at Parents
Farage/Carswell Fall Out Semi-Denied By Party

Tim Aker is the latest victim of the internal UKIP power play: sacked as the party’s policy chief this morning. Or so the spin goes. Guido understands this is less to do with the time he spent on the manifesto and more to do with the continuing debate raging for the ideological life and soul of the party. Between being an MEP and duffing up Labour in Thurrock, it was only a matter of time before Aker stepped back from his party role, but only a fool would suggest he’s not still a serious player within the party.

Rumours also continue to swirl around the tetchy relationship between Nigel Farage and Douglas Carswell. Guido is told there has been something of a breakdown, with particular anger among UKIP top brass over Carswell’s recent off-message Mail on Sunday intervention describing his new party as “internationalist” and “inclusive”. Guido hears Farage believes that to be “Cameroon nonsense”. This piece written by Nick Wood, the former IDS spinner turned Farage-confident, has been circulated within party circles as the UKIP leader’s real opinion:

“Various BBC-type Aunt Sallies were erected only to be assailed by the heroic St Douglas. “We must stop insulting immigrants,” asserted the hair-shirted one. “Dislike of foreigners is not merely offensive, but absurd.” Various other Harmanesque pieties followed, including the laughable observation that there has never been anything splendid about isolation. How about May 1940 after the fall of Paris? Our “isolation” then proved the salvation of Western civilisation.”

Long-serving, more traditional, golf clubbing UKIP veterans are said to be “upset” by Carswell’s maverick modernising moves, and things are so bad that they sneeringly call him “that Tory” behind his back. Rumours of a split at the top are denied by Farage’s spokesman: “we all absolutely adore Douglas”. But when were they last seen together?

To which I respond, to add clarity, for those who may be a little out of touch with the Ukip ferrets as they continue their squabbling inside their sack – visibly tossing out dead ferrets and whilst consuming others to hide the evidence of how vicious the fight for control is!
Hi,

Ukip is neither big enough intellectually, nor has it adequate gravitas or vision, to contain the egos and ambitions of Nigel Farage, Reckwell & Carless (O’Flynn, Nuttall etc. etc.).

Ukip has been Nigel Farage’s private fiefdom ruled in an absolute and underhand manner for many years, more of a cult than a party, and for the party to grow and stand any chance of breaking through its own glass ceiling of populism; for some time the squabbling and fractures can be swept under the carpet, but will eventually lead to blood on the carpet from a knock down drag ’em out fight for control that will destroy the idea of being a political party of any consequence.

The waring factions have been hard at it since the days of Sked and clearly to date the Faragista cult has held the upper hand by ruthless centralisation and control that has seen 100s of good people leave CLICK HERE, which has greatly weakened the party concept to ensure Farage’s continued ascendancy, for more details read my blog and CLICK HERE.

The manner of the Carless/Reckwell departure will benight Ukip oncemore, but will it be before or after the election and will the investigation into Annabelle Fuller’s theft, under National Security, and her apparent lies about Andrew Bridgen expose the truth and involve Nigel Farage is a telling part of the equation!
For more details CLICK HERE

So far it would seem Farage has the upper hand, having forced Stuart Wheeler to break cover over his backing of Neil Hamilton and his support for Carswell as a new leader – seeking to befoul the party in the first instance and clear out the cult in the second!

The squabbling will continue and would seem to have cost Ukip the funding of both Stuart Wheeler and, to quote Farage’s nick name for him, The Yorkshire Dwarf!

This has led to the need to accept funding from various dubious sources as well documented, not least that of Richard Desmond who would seem to have converted his Express newspaper to being the in house comic for Ukip, where it was shown to be no more than a squalid rag by Patrick O’Flynn’s prostitution of the paper to satiate his ambitions as an MEP leading another of Ukip’s waring factions!

Hey ho – may you live in interesting times, but sadly this greatly destabilises British politics and makes the possibility of Leaving_The_EU in any foreseable time frame less likely due in the main to Ukip’s pursuit of personal glory for one cult or the other!

Ukip Abusing the Police & Justice system As Part Of Enforcement for their own gain, to suppress facts about Ukip, as a part of their Modus Operandi.

.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,

Yet another case of Ukip using the police in an effort to intimidate and threaten a member of the public for daring to publicise facts about Ukip.

I appreciate this article is somewhat dated but there is no statute of limitations on abuse of the police process for gain that I know of and this is far from an isolated incident!

Such abuse of the police and Justice by Ukip is in fact all too common, whether through the Courts as with Jasna Badzak and also Nikki Sinclaire, both harassed by the police and charged, based on questionable complaints made by Ukip.

Just as I was lied about by Mark Croucher, Clive page and Paul Nuttall, as shown when their efforts to abuse the Court procedures and Justice to extort over £100,000 from me, their case was dismissed and I was discharged with costs awarded in my favour – costs, that I might add, Ukip have been too dishonest and devious to honour, in a display of contempt for The British Courts and British Justice.

Gerard Batten also lied to the police in an effort to bankrupt me and after being questioned under caution for almost 3 hours, there again the case was thrown out, this time by the police who realised he was telling lies and trying to invent a case against me, having boasted to associates in Brussels that he was going to bankrupt me and silence me once and for all.

Gerard Batten’s actions against me would seem to be all too similar to his claims made regarding Jasna Badzak!

Just imagine what these United Kingdoms would be like were these corrupt charlatans to get any kind of power or authority at the upcoming General Election – it looks like the first casualty would be freedom of speech and the second casualty would be the indipendence of the police as a part of controlling the judicial process.

There are many other cases like the one below – as examples of Ukip’s modus operandi!

Green Party activist visited by police over Ukip tweet


13-May-2014
posted by Rory MacKinnon in Britain

Free speech under threat as comments were ordered to be removed


OUTRAGED Green Party peer Jenny Jones condemned yesterday a police visit to the home of an activist who used Twitter to expose Ukip’s racist policies as “bully boy tactics.” 

Ms Jones is writing to Home Secretary Theresa May after police were sent to doorstep Green Party member Michael Abberton at his Cambridge home on behalf of a thin-skinned Ukip councillor.

Mr Abberton revealed that officers visited on Saturday in connection with a tongue-in-cheek graphic he had tweeted last week titled “10 reasons to vote for Ukip.”

The “reasons” — ranging from their pledges to scrap maternity leave and holidays to raising income tax for 88 per cent of the population — were supplemented with links to Ukip materials.

Officers asked Mr Abberton to remove the tweet and ordered him not to tweet about their visit.

The activist removed the tweet as a gesture of goodwill but unmasked the intimidation attempts on his blog, writing: “A complaint had been made but with no legal basis. Not a police matter. So why did they come to my home in the middle of a Saturday afternoon?

“Why would a political party, so close to an election, seek to stop people finding out what its policies are or its past voting record?

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman confirmed that a Ukip councillor had taken “exception” to the tweet and filed a complaint on Friday.

“Inquiries were made as to whether any offences had been committed under the Representation of the People Act but none were revealed and no further action was taken,” he said. 

The spokesman said it was “certainly not the advice” of police not to tweet about such visits. 

“This is not 1930s Germany,” he said.

But the Green’s peer Ms Jones was far from satisfied, telling the Morning Star that she intended to raise the matter with the Home Secretary.

Ms Jones said the officers’ decision to go doorknocking was “absolutely astonishing.

“It sounds horrific,” she said. 

“It’s all about freedom of speech. As a politician I know there are terrible things people say about me and you just have to live with it.

“The police need to understand that there’s no role for this unless there’s actual abuse.”

And Green Party leader Natalie Bennett added: “This is a very disturbing occurrence.

“Just the sheer fact of the visit is deeply damaging to free speech and is going to intimidate a lot of people thinking about whether they really are free to speak their mind.”

Ukip Cambridgeshire group council leader Paul Bullen — a magistrate in Huntingdon and Cambridgeshire’s Family Proceedings Court — denied all knowledge of the affair, adding that he “could not see” his fellow Ukip councillors making such a complaint.

He repeatedly declined to say whether he would ask them whether they had been involved, stressing instead that he knew “absolutely nothing.”

“If I looked at every bit of mud-slinging against Ukip in the last three months, I’d spend my whole life on the internet,” he said.

Earlier this month the right-wing party’s would-be Stockport councillor Harry Perry was suspended over a series of tweets asserting that “Islam is evil” and Muslim children were the “devil’s kids,” that Pakistan should be “nuked” and that gay, lesbian and bisexual people were an “abomination before God.”

Ukip Enfield candidate William Henwood told British comedian Lenny Henry via Twitter in March to “emigrate to a black country” and compared Islam with “the Third Reich, strength through violence against the citizens.”
