#348* – NIGEL FARAGE LIKES A DRINK
Clean EUkip up NOW & make UKIP electable!
The corruption of some of EUkip’s leadership
& NEC is what gives the remaining 10%
a bad name!
Nigel Farage likes a drink
– and why that is symptomatic of UKIP’s fall.
By theyorkshireguidon
In an interview in a recent edition of Total Politics the leader of UKIP, Nigel Farage, makes no real effort to counter the claim that he enjoys a drink or several even admitting to falling asleep in a bar. My own experience would support that Nigel enjoys his drink and that is somehow symptomatic of UKIP’s decline.
Back in the early autumn around 12.30 when leaving the European Parliament to go for a sandwich at Snack Steve I went through Place Luxembourg and saw Nigel Farage sitting with his UKIP cronies outside the Irish pub on the corner. Fair enough, but as I left to catch the bus home at about six the same evening and going through Place Luxembourg again, who should be sitting in the same seats outside the same Irish pub but Nigel Farage and his cronies.
They could, of course, have just arrived but judging by the number of empty glasses in front of them and their tired and emotional states I could only assume they had been there for several hours.
Now I know that other political parties have had their problems with leaders who like a drink, but looking at them sat there I found it quite telling.
This was about the same time that a poll had shown UKIP on about 1% (the same sort of poll rating they are currently getting) and it struck me how far they had nose-dived since the heady days of the summer of 2004 when in the European Parliament elections they came third in the popular vote and had 12 MEPs.
The publicity which they had on the back of this in the days that followed was incredible and they had a great opportunity to build on this given the relative unpopularity of both Labour and Conservatives at that time and to make a lasting breakthrough. But that has all been frittered away in the period since symbolised by this session outside the pub.
Given the arrival of Declan Ganley on the scene I would fully expect UKIP to disappear next time round. Not least because there is gong to be a real struggle for funds for UKIP and Ganley, the articulate new kid on the block, will brush aside UKIP in the fundraising stakes I’m sure. As for UKIP, well the MEPs could go down the pub to commiserate I suppose.

TO LEAVE THE EU
What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.
Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.
The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU’s CAP – In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!
To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we leave our children and the future, with shame!

I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
