Hi,
It was interesting to note that Marta Andreasen issued her denunciation of Nigel Farage’s leadership on Monday – wide and far.
UKIP is so amateur and disorganised that it took until Thursday morning for them to try to mollify their memberts with a letter on the members Forum which was a copy of his letter to Marta Andreasen of that morning by Steve Crowther one of Farage’s placemen.
Within a relatively short space of time Marta Andreasen had posted the article I have posted in the previous posting above #02.
Were ‘Blogger’ currently functioning I would have made the posting there with a link here for those sufficiently interested to establish the facts and accurate truth regarding UKIP.
Now just a few minutes ago Steve Crowther has misguidedly published the letter below in an effort to ‘calm the horses’.
UKIP is now in a very difficult position as they have gone to great lengths over the last year or two to spin the story that the dishonest and untrustworthy Marta Andreasen was in some extraordinary way something of a coupe for UKIP and they did much to try to convince people this two faced, dishonest woman was some sort of EU Whistlblower having failed to check her CV and track record and swallowed her promotion story.
All of a sudden UKIP has discovered the truth my blogs have cautioned for a couple of years!
The abscenece of any statement of support for Farage from Stuart Wheeler who funds the party, or Malcolm Lord Pearson or for that matter Lord Niedpath, Lord Willoghby de Broke, or even the resident clown Christopher Lord Monkton is conspicuous! To note the faint and damning praise of Prof. Tim Congdon, now word from the past leaders in support nor written support from a single UKIP MEP is unfortunate in the extreme.
Finally along comes this letter from one of Marta Andreasen’s original sponsors the discreditted Hugh Williams!
Some may have sufficient knowledge to be aware Hugh Williams was debarred his own committee and thrown out of the UKIP branch he chaired for duplicity, dishonesty and underhand behaviour colluding with Malcolm Wood in a conspiracy to betray the membership for their own gain!
The only surprise for some is that Hugh Williams has displayed such crass judgement once again in his support and sponsorship of Marta Andreasen – that he is not a lawyer but and accountant will surprise few and that he is an Old Etonian should surprise no one in view of his behaviour!
Dear Steve,
You have asked me, in my capacity as Assistant Treasurer to UKIP, and also in my role as a qualified Chartered Accountant of forty years standing, to comment on Marta Andreasen’s assertion that “Today the party is bankrupt and so it has been for the last six months at least.” She also talks about “abysmal mismanagement” in the party.
As a good friend of Marta’s, and as her publisher, I just wish she had approached me before making these damaging and inaccurate remarks.
It is essential that I refute these two remarks and I will try to be brief:
When I was elected to the party’s NEC, and before Nigel Farage was elected leader last autumn, and therefore before you were appointed Executive Chairman of UKIP, members of the NEC would rightly call for up-to-date financial information to be made available to them at the monthly meetings. However, even without sight of such timely management information, the party was clearly not in financial difficulty at the time because UKIP’s audited accounts to 31 December 2010 show that the party made a small profit and also had a healthy balance sheet.
However, since you have been appointed Executive Chairman (about six months ago), and since Stuart Wheeler has become Treasurer, I would say that UKIP’s financial status and reporting has been respectively healthy and admirable. For example, and unlike before Nigel Farage was re-elected leader, now:
· We have a Finance and Remuneration Committee charged with keeping the party’s finances in good order.
· That committee receives weekly reports of the party’s bank balance and the latest one, prepared six days ago, shows that we had a five figure sum in the bank after the payment of all current and short term debts. (I suspect there are some political parties that might be quite envious of such a declaration).
· At no stage since these documents have been prepared has the Treasurer, or I, had cause to think that the party was even close to bankruptcy.
· The NEC is always presented with the latest of these statements at their monthly meetings.
· The NEC is also presented with a statement of how the party’s finances have fared over the past three months and how things look for the next three months.
· There is now a system for controlling expenditure. Marta makes specific mention of legal fees; these are now under a special system of control. So, again, if Marta had only asked me first I could have told her that she would be ill-advised to attack the party leader on that basis.
· There is a highly competent team that keeps the financial records at our Head Office. I keep telling them how proud I am of them and how grateful we all are for their efforts and great efficiency.
I hope that I have said enough to refute Marta’s assertions but I would like to add two other things: firstly, she talks about “abysmal mismanagement” and I trust that the above points show that she is quite wrong to level that accusation against the party. Secondly, I know of at least one Europhile Chartered Accountant who is aware of how UKIP runs its finances and who has unhesitatingly agreed that the party’s book-keeping seems to be in remarkably good order.
In short, I am at a loss as to where Marta has got her information from, because it is definitely MIS-information. It is particularly misinformation with regard to the past six months that she specifies. I reckon the party’s finances are in extremely good order and, to the extent that I am a member of the Finance and Remuneration Committee, I would like to express my thanks to all of them for this significant achievement; in particular, it is such an improvement over what I noticed when first elected to the NEC last Summer.
Lastly, when Marta calls last week’s election results “bad”, I have to disagree. I have two simple statistics to produce in support of my view:
1. In 2007, when the same local seats down here were last contested, UKIP was scoring one vote against ten for the major parties. Last week that had improved to one vote in three. An impressive improvement by any standard.
2. The other statistic is that, in the case of my home patch, Plymouth, since last week’s elections, UKIP has now risen to become the third party in that city.
As I say, Marta is a friend of mine and I do not like taking issue with her in public but loyalty to my party must come first and, when I find such statements being made which are patently false, as well as damaging, I unhesitatingly show my loyalty to the party by refuting them. As a former party treasurer and elected MEP she really should have known better and would be well advised to withdraw them, and also withdraw them from her website.
Yours sincerely
Hugh Williams
Assistant Treasurer UKIP
That Marta Andreasen’s behaviour is beneath contempt, divisive and destructive and in clear self interest is indisputable – that Farage is a hopeless leader is NOT Farage’s fault but that of the members who failed to be aware as this inadequate rose through the party ensuring he was their only spokesman and only known personality – easily achieved by publishing propaganda rather than competent information in ones members magazines and ensuring no programme of training or organisational structure – thus by surrounding oneself with dross one looks good and with a palace guard bought and paid for from Party funds one can protect against challenge or talent.
Thus spin takes over from substance and showmanship becomes a shoddy imitation of leadership!
Farage will survive as he is UKIP’s only asset but that he is likewise a liability is why the entire party is so clearly failing to provide us with the lifeboat we had all hoped.
The drama continues but will use the weekend for arm twisting and bribery to put forward a more unified face by Monday with statements of support as it is realised there is no challenger materialising – even the weak and useless Derek Clark, David Bannerman, Stuart Agnew, William Dartmouth, Gerard Batten, John Bufton and the like will have been frightened out of their short term ambitions by their long term greed!
Hey Ho – That’s politics!
Amateur. crass, duplicitous and venal!
Regards,
Greg_L-W.

Hi,
Well very clearly the wet fish slap over the wrist of Farage’s placeman the unprofessional and clearly incompetent Steve Crowther has been met with the contempt expected and has been ignored by Marta Andreasen – as predicted on my blog!
Here is Marta Andreasen’s rejoinder to Steve Crowther’s letter for Nigel Farage that took 3.1/2 days to summon up the courage to write or was it puzzle out a way to deal with this simplest and commonest of management problems – yet within hours Mrs. Andreasen has responded!
As she positions herself for the betrayal this blog announced when first dishonourable men like Hugh Williams and Malcolm Pearson mooted this egregious piece of Spanish filth. A Liar, a fraud, a political prostitute and utterly without dignity, integrity or morality.
The only question all along was when she would do a knife job on her sponsors and betray UKIP as she has betrayed all before! Now the question is will she TRY to maintain the scherade and resign BEFORE UKIP’s Leadership can gatjher enough brain cells in one place to fire her – or will she merely jump ship straight to The EPP as a move to collect her reward by betrayal of her flag of convenience in the form of adding The Union Flag to the EPPs aray.
The odious woman, based on the crass and childish poor judgement of UKIP’s so called leadership can thus befoul the British Flag dragging it around the gutter in the EU as bounty for The EPP in return for a Vice Presidency and the promise of a safe seat in 2014 in mire of Spanish Center Right Politics.
Clearly however she has the measure of Steve Crowther as UKIP’s errand boy!
May 12, 2011 10:50 am – Posted by Marta in Uncategorized
Many in the party have argued for years that to be able to get out of the EU we need to have a presence at national and local level in addition to the one we have at European level.
In 2009 when UKIP came second in the European elections we all celebrated and anticipated the start of a new era where the party would grow to become a credible option not just at European Level but also at national and local level.
I put a lot of effort into that election not only by travelling around the country speaking in support of candidates but also by managing the party coffers, a key role in a growing party, not least during election. Complying with the electoral commission requirements and making ends meet in UKIP proved to be a terribly difficult job as there was no financial discipline.
However I stepped down as Treasurer at the end of September 2009 with the enormous satisfaction that having paid all election and ordinary debts, the party had 150,000 pounds in the bank. I managed this by an enormous and exhausting control effort while also investing my time in convincing donors about the credibility of the party.
However today the party is bankrupt and so it has been for the last six months at least.The reasons are long but can roughly be summarized in the following:
1. The party has engaged in costly and unnecessary court cases resulting from Mr. Farage´s internal disagreements with colleagues or staff members;
2. The party has engaged in the costly and unnecessary promotion of by-elections where we had no chance at all of winning a seat;
3. The party has recruited staff over and above its capacity.
The management of the resources that we get from the EU as a result of our belonging to a political group is subject to the same abysmal mismanagement characterized by undemocratic and non-transparent recruitment decisions.
The results of the 2010 General election that followed Ukip’s great success in the 2009 were disappointing to say the least but I have to say my disappointment started when Nigel announced he was standing down as leader 8 months before the General Election and with no advance notice. Buckingham’s results left me in doubt about his strategic ability, which up to that point I was convinced he had.
The results of this year, whatever the EU-style massaging of the figures, are bad without doubt: winning only 0.7% of the seats contested is a dismal result. And Nigel, who promised great success, should be the first one to recognize this.
The candidates, the activists and the staff are not to blame. I value their efforts enormously and in fact those who have succeeded have done so only on their personal efforts and the ones who have not should not feel they are to blame.
Campaigning, in my view, does not start two or three months before the election. We should campaign all the time in different ways and according to the contributions we are most fit to make.I have been campaigning all the time since I have been with UKIP: raising awareness about how taxpayers money is being wasted at EU level, alerting about the threats the EU is posing for UK citizens and businesses, defending British people from abuses, participating in financial and budgetary forums, speaking at schools, universities, public meetings, in all cases looking to get the best media coverage for the party.
The aim of our campaigning should be to show voters (present and potential) that we care for them. Then the canvassing and leafleting in the last weeks before election date would allow us to achieve the objective.
But all those efforts combined become diminished if there is no adequate leadership, one who is credible and disciplined and who sets the objectives and recruits responsible people on which he can delegate. And this is what we are missing.
Nigel is a fantastic speaker and performer, the best I have ever known in the UK but his performance has not resulted in seat gains in this election and if we do not want to have the same results in 3 years time we should start making changes NOW.Nigel was re-elected 6 months ago but he was not a new comer, in fact he had only resigned from a 3-year leadership one year before.
I want to see UKIP become an important political option in the UK and lead the way out of the EU! That is why I have made this call.
I have no plan to stand as a candidate for leadership now or ever. I am quite conscious that I do not have the profile. But I am confident we can find the right profile among the membership.
Marta Andreasen
Strasbourg, 12 May 2011
To which my OPEN RESPONSE IS:
The drama drags on!

Hi,
may I suggest a spot of detailed reading starting with CLICK HERE
Do note the last part of the posting:
Let us watch wait and see who blinks first!………
…Farage has already sent in his Press Office and his puppet chairman – Let Battle Commence:
But I must say I believe the Oxus River was more spectacular and both Sorahb & Rhustum more intriguing 🙂

Hi,
well back to the plot – it is amusing as the day draws on to see the absence of the venal loud mouths on the relevant Forums as they scuttle hither and yon sheltered behind their cowardly anonymity to work out how best to exploit UKIP, its members and these United Kingdoms for their personal gain and to keep their sordid snouts in the trough.
Silence from the liars and trash like Skeptyk, McGough, Fuller, Independent UKIP, Denny, Agnew, Batten, Bannerman, Reeve, Duffy, Nuttall, Dartmouth, Hogan, Towler, Bloom and the rest of the befouled and besmirched liars, cheats and self serving low lifes.
The connundrum is as earlier explained what were Andreasen’s motives in this very public piece of Gesture Politics and for whom besides herself is she doing a knife job on Farage and thus on UKIP?
Andreasen is NOT the key to this situation, though she may believe she is – she is merely looking to her own gain with all the integrity she has displayed to date!!!
One wonders just how awake the poor old Stuart Wheeler is in this whole affair or is this now his ‘Crisis of Confidence’.
A statement of support made within 24 hours by Wheeler may well save Farage.
Farage must look to the support of those loyal to UKIP MEPs Nikki Sinclaire, Mike Nattrass and Trevor Colman for his survival and IF he can get their support and undertakes to distance UKIP from the racist, xenophobia, anti Judaism and violent anti homosexuality as espoused by his pro EU membership Reformist EFD Group
AND
Permit the eviceration of the layer of parasites and funded praise singers and parasites
THEN & ONLY THEN
Does Farage and UKIP stand any realistic chance of any kind of meaningful survival.
A FURTHER KEY
that has largely been overlooked is Douglas Denny who holds the written evidence and proofs of where bodies are buried and the fraud that was the Ashford scam – IF he releases this or IF he has been stupid enough to put it in the hands of David Bannerman then days are numbered.
Farage may be UKIP’s only asset of note but we must also remember that is by his design having fiddled and rigged every election within the party in one way or another – having deliberately and publicly set out to humiliate his own supporters in the media – he has ensured that no one of any merit has been allowed or willing to survive anywhere near a single lever of power.
Denny may be a fool but he was an exploited fool and like many of his ilk IF the worm turns clearly he is in a position to issue a toxic bite and thus destroy Farage and sadly thus UKIP with just one blow.
Farage has not one single solitary individual who he can trust – in that he bought each of them and in that he knows each of them to be corrupt – Farage’s only reliable help can ONLY come from Sinclaire, Colman, Nattrass and his open critics – they have shown their integrity.
IF Farage can manage to survive until the end of The Strasburgh week which is lunchtime on Thursday then UKIP and Farage will survive but deeply wounded and his only hope is to distance himself from the poison he has gathered around him to prevent the wounds becoming infected and a slow and humiliating death.
THERE IS A SOLUTION
A choice that can strengthen UKIP and empower Farage – but it does look like only one that will work where all else will exacerbate the problems.
She was brought in as the ‘budget buster’. As a constant thorn in the side of the Euro establishment, former EU Chief Accountant Marta Andreasen seemed an ideal recruit for the UK Independence Party.In the European elections in the South East of England she and Nigel Farage finished ahead of Labour and the Liberal Democrats with nearly 20% of the vote.But now the double act has turned very sour.Calling for her party leader’s resignation. Ms Andreasen says they made a “dismal” showing in the local elections.Dismal showing“Party members and supporters are justifiably angry. After promises of success and claims that the party would triple the number of its seats, after large amounts of party members’ and donors’ money was spent on what was a poorly led campaign, the result was frankly dismal.“I am calling on him to step down as Leader of UKIP and make room for a new Leader who resonates more with the public and who will move us forward to where I know we should be.Nigel Farage and Marta Andreasen in happier times in 2009
“It is time for change. Mr Farage has abjectly failed to deliver and is not leading the party on the course to victory. Even he must recognise this fact.”But he certainly doesn’t recognise that, at all. Though he didn’t want to comment to me directly, it’s clear this is down to a personality clash as much as electoral success or failure.She resigned as party treasurer after arguments with Paul Nuttall, then party chairman. And there has been continued disagreement about UKIP’s position within the European Parliament. Ms Andreasen admitted she had not put her points to Mr Farage personally, but says he’s very aware of her position.UKIP reaction
The party dismissed Ms Andreasen’s call for the leader’s resignation as “eccentric and naive”.“I’m frankly astonished that Nigel’s fellow South East MEP, Marta Andreasen, has issued this statement. It is quite odd, and based on a complete misreading of the political situation in the UK,” said UKIP Executive Chairman Steve Crowder.“In last Thursday’s elections UKIP made net gains, and more than doubled our votes in areas where we had stood before. We established ourselves clearly as the fifth party in Wales, and made our presence felt in Northern Ireland and Scotland, as well as in over 1,200 council seats around England.”“Marta’s statement displays what one might perhaps charitably call a naivety in its analysis of the UK electoral scene. I am intrigued to know who she believes would be the “new Leader who resonates more with the public” than Nigel?”Golden girl
“Start Quote
When she was first introduced at their conference in Bournemouth, I remember Nigel himself introduced her as their new golden girl – the UKIP equivalent of a then ascendant Sarah Palin.”End Quote Peter Henley
It was Nigel Farage himself who brought Marta Andreasen, a Spanish national, into the party – and helped her take the number two spot on the list for the South East region.When she was first introduced at their conference in Bournemouth, I remember Nigel himself introduced her as their new golden girl – the UKIP equivalent of a then ascendant Sarah Palin.But now his running mate is in open conflict. The same situation he was in in the last term, when Ashley Mote was elected and then thrown out of the party for benefit fraud.So is this just a personality clash, or is there substance to the complaints of a “dismal” showing in the local elections?One-man band?
It is true that UKIP made net gains in the election – but it must have been less than the party had hoped for.In some councils such as Eastleigh in Hampshire they contested every seat up for election, but won none.![]()
There will be some within UKIP who agree that Nigel Farage is too much of a one-man band
Aylesbury Vale in Oxfordshire bucked the trend, with two candidates winning seats from Liberal Democrats on a platform of opposition to the high-speed train plan HS2.There will be some within UKIP who agree with Marta Andreasen’s comments, some who agree that Nigel Farage is too much of a one-man band. But the timing is not good.He was only re-elected in November after standing aside for Lord Pearson, who didn’t exactly cover himself with glory.The membership overwhelming voted for Farage, backing him with 60% of the vote to closest rival Professor Tim Congdon on 20%.But this may be the sting the party needs to continue its reorganisation.
To view the original article CLICK HERE
The UK Independence Party (UKIP) has rejected calls by one of its MEPs for leader Nigel Farage to stand down after it failed to make a breakthrough in English council elections.The party made no net gains despite Mr Farage suggesting beforehand that it could double its 19 councillors.
Marta Andreasen said Mr Farage had “abjectly failed” and should go.
But the party said he had been elected as leader six months before with the highest ever share of the party vote.
Before last week’s elections Mr Farage had suggested the party was on course for “significant gains” but, as it was, it secured just seven seats of those up for election – no improvement on four years before.
‘Angry’Ms Andreasen, a former European Commission chief accountant who was sacked in 2004 after she claimed the EU budget was open to fraud and abuse, said the results were a “bitter disappointment”.Continue reading the main story“Start Quote
Mr Farage has abjectly failed to deliver and is not leading the party on the course to victory”End Quote Marta Andreasen UKIP MEP
“Party members and supporters are justifiably angry,” she said.“After promises of success and claims that the party would triple the number of its seats, after large amounts of party members and donors money was spent on what was a poorly led campaign, the result was frankly dismal.”
The blame for the party’s performance must rest with its leadership, not activists or candidates, she added.
“Mr Farage has abjectly failed to deliver and is not leading the party on the course to victory,” she said.
“I am calling on him to step down as leader of UKIP and make room for a new leader who resonates more with the public and who will move us forward to where I know we should be.”
Miss Andreasen has clashed with senior UKIP figures in the past and in 2009 quit as its treasurer after disagreements with the party chairman.
More votesA UKIP spokesman described the row with Mr Farage as an “internal party matter” that would be dealt with in an appropriate fashion.
“She has her opinion and she is entitled to that but it is not one shared by the majority of the party,” he said.
He pointed out that Mr Farage had been overwhelmingly re-elected as party leader in November – his second stint in the job.
“I don’t believe the party is going to think we have had it with him.”
UKIP sources pointed out that while its performance in the English local elections was not “startling”, the party had secured more votes than in any previous local election and had come second in more wards than ever before.
The party came second to the Conservatives at the 2009 European Parliament elections but it has never done well in town hall elections.
It had poured more resources – and candidates – into Thursday’s contest in the hope of capitalising on strong performances in recent Westminster by-elections.

Hi,
it was sad to see such a display of unprofessionalism from Farage’s praise singers when I noted young Harry Aldridge trying to get party brownie points at the expense of both our Country and our elected MEPs who were working, and spending their money in defence of Britain and liberty.
Here is the lads posting on UKIP Yoooof:
YI Chairman Criticises Two UKIP MEPs
Posted April 30th, 2011 by Harry AldridgeAs the elected Chairman of Young Independence I feel obliged to condemn the unacceptable actions of two UKIP MEPs. Mike Nattrass and Trevor Colman, by helping to fund an advert promoting a rival political candidate, have let down both themselves and more importantly UKIP members and activists up and down the country.
UKIP MEPs must be team players. They are elected on a Party ticket, the public did not vote for any one individual. It is simply not acceptable for MEPs, with an inflated view of their importance, to wield the power of their positions as if they have a direct individual mandate.
All UKIP European Election Candidates signed and agreed to the MEP Code of Conduct which committed them to “promote UKIP’s objectives as set out in the party constitution and manifestos”, “pool group funds” and “work as a team”. The actions of Trevor Colman and Mike Nattrass directly contravene the code of conduct. The promotion of a rival candidate’s campaign – a campaign that duplicates the efforts of similar non-partisan campaigns that are supported by UKIP – is not productive and nor is it fair on the UKIP activists whose time, money and shoe leather won them their seats.
The public want to see a productive political party that is mature and able to work towards the common cause. This is something I take seriously. Discord is tiresome and off-putting to young members and harms our ability to capitalise on the best levels of public support the party has ever seen.
Members from around the country have expressed their upset and disgust at today’s advert and the actions of these MEPs. It is the branches and activists who feel directly the impact of their decisions.
They are acting as individuals, not as team players. Quite plainly if they seek to continue to work for themselves and not for UKIP’s cause then I sincerely hope that they are deselected as candidates at the next available opportunity.
UKIP needs committed individuals as MEPs who can provide the British public with a united radical opposition that they can support. That is what I and others in YI and the wider Party will continue to work towards.
Harry Aldridge
Chairman, Young Independence
One might have been a little more impressed had he not been weenie waggling in the most childish and un professional manner obviously way out of his depth and with UKIP lacking any credible leadership.
Perhaps, as he pretends to IT skills, he could have better serve the cause by updating some of the UKIP web sites – not least of which would be UKIP Yoooof where he will note it is sop out of date it implies he has usurped the position of chairman from the other member trying to lick his way to a career in politics without the flair or charisma it used to take!
You will note if you CLICK HERE :
Harry Aldridge YI Council General ![]() ![]() Position in UKIP: YI Chairman |
I’ve published a statement on this as YI Chairman. I’m afraid it needs to be said.
———————– As the elected Chairman of Young Independence I feel obliged to condemn the unacceptable actions of two UKIP MEPs. Mike Nattrass and Trevor Colman, by helping to fund an advert promoting a rival political candidate, have let down both themselves and more importantly UKIP members and activists up and down the country. ***CUT as insecure repetition**** |
Shortly after we find he has not been noticed by enough people so he posts on the unofficial UKIP controlled Forum of Anthony Butcher’s under a pseudonym:
Junior Member Join Date Oct 2010 Posts 31
Let us ponder where next he may hope to be noticed in his anti British pro Farage sycophancy – How about the toe curlingly embarrassing Mrs. Dale’s Diary, ever willing to cosy up to Farage as noted in the past or will it be a last desperate attempt to discredit himself by posting his unprofessional boot lick on Stuart Parr’s dishonest little boot lick site – lies and all at bloggers4ukip
Is there no one in UKIP with the slightest political instinct – is there no self control, we know there is no leadership but this is just making a mockery of the party at the very worst time.
One can hardly be surprised that UKIP has managed to have LESS than 30 political offices in the public sector filled out of around 19,500 available.
Yes UKIP will do a little better in the upcoming local elections the ironic point being their gains will largely be at the expense of The Lib.Dims. this time and for the most bizarre of reasons – Lib.Dim. voters will be registering a protest vote against their two EU funded ex MEPs Nick Clegg & Huhne who have betrayed the Lib.Dim. electorate (one should not overlook the economic illiteracy of their trained theorist Vincent Cable who might well be advised to repair to his skill zone as a dance!).
The other area of protest is that The Lib.Dims. (there are only three aren’t there!) are completely out of step with the electorate on the issue of AV.
How ironic when Farage was elected to lead a largely Libertarian (in as far as UKIP understands the concept) Party espousing Leave-The-EU and promptly betrayed the electorate and the members by plunging into bed with a group of racist extremists, xenophobes, anti Jewish and violent anti homosexual foreign politicians in a sell out in return for money by espousing and supporting a pro EU membership stance and the Reforming ideals with more centralised EU controls as with Derek Clark MEP, Marta Andreasen (Spanish) MEP, Stuart Agnew (NFU) MEP, David Bannerman (anybody’s) MEP, Willian Dartmouth MEP etc.
You will note that UKIP will make gains at Lib.Dim. expense on the protest vote and the further irony is that Farage is as out of step over AV as is Nick Clegg all be it for different and dim reasons (I say dim as he has failed to convince his own party let alone the public at large).
Politics and political thought does rather seem to be beyond UKIP and as for the level of ill disciplined unprofessionalism that lets idiots like little Harry Aldrich and Michael Havers loose to so clearly damage the party it is staggering – that is not to gain say the irrefutable fact that within the squabbling ranks of UKIP there will be many too stupid to even realise their own stupidity.
If you are still in ANY doubt as to the unprofessional incompetence of UKIP just follow their MEPs around for a few days as the meeeeja do!
Alternatively try debate on a point they disagree with or even consider the rank stupidity of fielding a school girl to front for UKIP as Mayoral candidate in Leicester about which I note Barbara Booker had the last clear word as is so often the case, when she said:
By the by here is the pro British Patriotic advertisement, which could well have been badged to UKIP if Farage had not betrayed the electorate and with the rump of UKIP that he has not over the years driven away leaped into bed with his extremist EFD Group:
Great isn’t it and to clear up a few points of confussion for those in UKIP who are clearly unaware of much going on around them:
01. Nigel Farage MEP is NOT a member of the EU Referendum Pledge Campaign run and managed by James Pryor and Bridget Rowe for the members and primary patron Tony Blackwell and Jon Gaunt is the media spokesman. Unlike UKIP the peoples pledge for an EU Referendum campaign IS NOT run by or for the benefit of politicians as it was they who got us into this mess as members of The EU.
02. Paul Nuttall was invited to assist but does seem to be making as much noise as a giraffe – possibly controlled by Farage!
03. The Petition for an EU Referendum is a separate entity founded and launched by Nikki Sinclaire at her own expense at Easter last year though increasingly active from September.
04. Dan Hannan’s ‘Judas Goat’ operation was set up when he was blocked from controlling the EU Pledge – an idea he then tried to destroy by diluting it for personal gain. He was encouraged by various socialist extremists to try to embarrass The Tory initiative.
05. Mike Nattrass & Trevor Colman now that they are liberated from the odious Pan EU Political EFD Group have opted to act in the interest of Britain and help Nikki Sinclaire promote The Petition for an IN/OUT EUreferendum.
06. The Petition for an IN/OUT EUreferendum and The EU Referendum Pledge Campaign are working in co-operation for the Patriotic benefit of these United Kingdoms.
07. IF YOU are a genuine Patriot and wish to help liberate these United Kingdoms from the thrall of vassal status in The EU may I suggest find out more and how YOU can help CLICK HERE
Since it is clear UKIP have no ability to professionalise and are clearly squabbling like ferrets in a sack as they jokey for positions at the troughs on the gravy train and sice clearly they have no sign of a competent leader – though to be fair Nigel Farage is at most times a consumate performer, without the guidance he so clearly needs and firm leadership from a grown up he will sadly continue to be divisive driving out anyone of competence who he fears might rival him and for ever piling dung ever higher to try to give credibitlity to his strutting and crowing.
That ain’t leadership and as a result of the dross gathered around Farage the party is clearly unfit for purpose.
Yes as a part it will survive as it is of so little long term consequence and of such great value to both The Tories and The EU no one will bother to sink it – any effort to expose the corruption is met with the most unprofessional howls from those feeding on that corruption in one way or another!
It is hard to find reason to disagree with this comment from The Blogosphere:
I believe NF is simply astute – he knows what is best for him and is the enemy within. Whether UKIP is managed through NF by Thatcherites within the Tory Party or NF had chosen, personally, not to be successful in domestic politics because he did not want the Tories to fail at GEs matters not a jot – because the outcome is the same.
The bottom line is that UKIP is not like other political parties in the sense that others simply want to be as successful as possible, irrespective of the impact on other parties. Once the Tory dimension is acknowledged, at any time some apparently irrational decision might be made by NF which will set the Party back or in a different direction.
These will be unfathomable to serious members, simply because they not aware of the details of this Tory influence – a recipe for continuous and continuing frustration for serious and loyal members.
Unlike the childish self serving bottom wiping by Harry Aldridge that so palpably smacks of a self important child
