Although she was elected as a UKIP MEP she is now an Independent and resigned from UKIP since UKIP aligned itself with the far right groups in E.U. parliament.
Hi,
I gather Nikki Sinclaire has NOT resigned from UKIP and is still very much a member of the party.
Nikki Sinclaire after discussion with the then leader Malcolm Lord Pearson and assured that her principled stand would be accepted resigned from the Pan EU Political EFD Group which, without any democratic input Nigel Farage had set up seemingly for personal enrichment via the 4000 account which gives him £76,000 per MEP member that is largely if not totally unaccountable money!
Pearson accepted Sinclaire’s resignation from this vile extremist group which is racist, xenophobic, anti Jewish and violently intolerant of homosexuality.
Fearfull of missing out on his extra income it seems, Nigel Farage as leader of this sordid group had a hissy fit like a small child having a tantrum due to his insecurity and the fear other MEPs would follow Sinclaire’s lead – which they did!
Nigel Farage withdrew the UKIP whip from Sinclaire and ordered a roberey at her office via Christopher Gill (ex Tory MP) and carried out by Derek Bennett Mike Nattrass’ Regional Organiser. Nattrass was never asked and I gather ordered little Derek to return everything he had stolen and with Mike’s intercession Sinclaire was persuaded to take no police action.
Nikki Sinclaire is not technically an Independent UKIP MEP sitting as a member of The Non Escrit group (Non Attached) in the EUropean Parliament with more opportunities to speak in debate and control of her own 4000 budget and the use of EU Parliamentary Staff allocated to The Non Group/Group!
Recently Nikki Sinclaire was found in favour of in an employment tribunal and UKIP / Bloom & Farage found guilty.
Aware that they haven’t a leg to stand on UKIP have made overtures to Sinclaire and Steve Crowther has been charged with trying to help UKIP wriggle out of the Guilty verdict and reach an accommodation with Sinclaire but it seems fairly obvious in the light of Nigel Farage’s utter incompetence as a leader and track record of corruption and underhand deceit that he will use undeclared hands to seek to scupper any such deal TRYING to make it look like Sinclaire’s fault.
Were I Sinclaire I believe UKIP is finished and a spent force under its present corrupt and incompetent leadership in alliance with the extremists it sees itself akin to and I would advocate NOT letting UKIP off the hook at the tribunal and grounding a High Court damages claim on the clearly shown vindictive and malicious action of UKIP its NEC and leadership jointly and severally.
I see no contingency under which she could loose – particularly as Mike Nattrass also had the moral fibre and integrity to resign from The EFD. Months later and Farage has not attacked him or lied about him or withdrawn the whip!
Based on the display of vile behaviour of UKIP Leadership one would hardly want them elected to a village cricket committee let alone a position in governance at ANY level.
Sadly at the moment they are clearly unfit for purpose!
