UKIP STILL HAVE NOT LEARNED LIES DON’T PAY!

The endless use of UKIP affiliates who are proven liars and low lifes who abuse and defame members and supporters of UKIP who seek honesty, integrity, morality, transparency and probity to once more ressurecy UKIP and render it fit for purpose – Leaves them without credible defence when the truth leaks out!!

.

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

Hi,

in the light of the habitual lies of both Skeptyk and also of Mick McGough which have been proven time and again, and in that they are in the habit of abusing any supporter or member of UKIP who dares to hold a different opinion – particularly those with a lengthy track record of seeking transparency and aiming to clean-up the party.

Those who hope to remove filth and liars like themselves from UKIP’s employ and leadership claque – Their comments, criticisms and attempts at defence at validation are clearly of no value nor worthy of any respect or cogniscenece.

That those who post as skeptyk are too ashamed to put their name to their lies and the style of their odious behaviour demeans UKIP more than they could ever be considered of value as with those who post as Independent UKIP or the moronic Gothmog (aka William Shaw) – not only cowardly but clearly as with the liar Stuart Parr and Mick McGough who is a placement on the NEC such scum of the earth and liars do UKIP more harm than every they may foolishly consider they aid it.

As with association with the crass, amateur and foul mouthed Annabelle Fuller and her sordid little AthenaPR agency.

The comments of Barbara Booker in response to ‘Geoffrey Collier’ a loyal and supportive member of UKIP for many years who has been frequently defamed and abused by the scum gathered in ambition around the leadership position in UKIP for his efforts to improve the Party and bring various seemingly clear theives to book where it would seem possibly many £Millions have been stolen, misappropriated or embezzled.

Ms. Bookers comments are, as ever, both reasoned and substantiated:
Geoffrey, to clarify:

When trying to check the authenticity of the Tim Congdon email, I found it did not appear on Michael Heaver’s blog as stated by skeptyk in post #1 of this thread. 

A google search brought up several references to it having been posted on 12 May, but in each case clicking the link produced: “Sorry, the page you were looking for in the blog Michael Heaver’s Blog does not exist”. 

As I didn’t then know about the Blogger problem of posts being temporarily deleted (the explanation offered by Richard Allen and skeptyk), I assumed MH had removed the post himself soon after making it, probably as a result of a complaint from TC. Hence my ‘sceptical’ comment.

I now see from buzz.blogger.com that by 15 May most of the affected posts had been restored, with bloggers advised to republish any that were still missing, so when checking Michael Heaver’s blog again I expected to find the elusive Congdon email back in its place. 

Not so. MH posted three times on 15 May, twice on 16th, once on 17th and once yesterday, but still no sign of a restored or republished email from Tim Congdon. My original assumption is therefore not only unchanged, but reinforced by further consideration.

One of the google references revealed enough of Michael Heaver’s 12 May post to show that he was definitely linking Tim Congdon’s comments with what he called “the small isolated group of members who are calling for a leadership challenge”. See http://www.britishblogs.co.uk/categories/nigel-farage/

quote

An interesting email hit my desk this morning which shows us how disagreements in the Party should be conducted. Tim Congdon, the second place UKIP leadership challenger from last year has ruled himself out of joining the small isolated group of members who are calling for a leadership challenge. In his own words:Nigel has many gifts – he is an outstanding speaker and television personality. He has been elected, by a large majority, for four years. He must be supported by all party members. Should he remain leader indefinitely? Well, that is for the party to decide. At this stage I intend to throw my hat in the ring again in 2014, as I believe the party needs its centre of gravity to be in this country, not in Brussels or Strasbourg. You may forward…


ends

Skeptyk continues the email in post #1. 

It appears from the break in the text and the repetition of “forward this to whomever you please” that it is actually quotes from two separate emails, probably written just after Nigel Farage won the leadership election last November. 

There is no proof whatsoever that TC wrote them in connection with any recent leadership issue, and it’s my belief that someone has cobbled extracts together and recirculated them in a pretence of current support for Farage which may not exist. 

If this conclusion is incorrect, Michael Heaver should publish the email in its entirety, with date, title and name of recipient so that we can see it in context and check its authenticity.

The balance of the CLAIMED comment of Tim Congdon, as claimed by Michael Heavers and selectively quoted, as Barbara Booker states, was posted on this blog. CLICK HERE

Since Skeptyk’s posting was subsequent to the removal from Michael Heavers’ blog it is probable one of the dishonest creatures, posting as the cowardly proven liar Skeptyk, obtained the copy as posted by them on Anthony Butcher’s UKIP controlled blog from the posting on this blog by me at CLICK HERE.

Hi,

I have unfortunately only received the comments of the main protagonist and an aside from Steve Allison – suffice to say with information leaks there are perforce some parts missing!

Though it seems Douglas Denny is in his dottage waking up to the reality that he has been duped and taken for the fool he so clearly was.

Perhaps it is his conscience after so many defamatory lies and general dishonesty that Denny used in the past to abuse people who dared to seek out the truth which so embarrassed him he felt the need to cover his personal involvement and that of his ‘chums’.

Unfortunately I do not have the whole of his confession nor the documentation which he had but I understand he has now handed to a UKIP MEP – lt us see what integrity that MEP can muster!

In answer to the Strap Line:

Those who seek to undermine Farage undermine UKIP.
It would seem Douglas Denny comments:

This statement is heavily loaded with innuendo and is inaccurate.  Not everyone who wishes to undermine the Leader are ( -actively- for that is what is implied) {wishing} to undermine the party. They may have other valid reasons for not wishing to co-operate with the Leader.  It happens in all political parties.

This is not to approve of course,  of Marta biting the hand that fed her – and I mean the party.

I have read the “blogg” article and and it is a very pro-Nigel Farage homily spun with no acknowledgement or account of the known failings of NF which, in themselves, have in the past and possible present, caused problems for the party.
The author forgets: it takes two to Tango.
———–

I made it clear I did not want Nigel to be Leader again at the leadership elections and said exactly why – and those reasons are now becoming apparent, especially the main one which I will now repeat. (On this private forum only).

I emphasise have not publicly criticised Nigel since the leadership election as he is the Leader, and does indeed have a large mandate from the membership.
That is not to fail to recognise and deny he has faults however, but I do not fully express them now as it is counter-productive to the party.  If this is the only point Mr. Heaver is trying to make, then I agree with him.

What I think is worth repeating though is: I think the main problem with any leader of a political party is they develop enemies and malcontents within the party and without,  with their leadership,  over a long period of time if they stay in the job for a very long period. Margaret Thatcher is a classic axample of this.  She was an excellent Leader, but they still threw her out for spurious reasons.  That is why I think leaders should stand down, or be changed regardless every now and then. (Every three or five years? -debate).

This effect causes problems of the kind we are now seeing.  It is up to those who are malcontent for whatever reasons to either pull their weight behind the party or re-consider what they are doing.

Leadership does not mean there is an automatic requirement of blind obedience from others however (unless you are in the military)  – it means bringing people together towards a common cause through example and charisma so that people want to to follow….. Douglas Denny.

 Steve ALLISON SAID:

I have read the “blogg” article and and it is a very pro-Nigel Farage homily spun with no acknowledgement or account of the known failings of NF which, in themselves, have in the past and possible present, caused problems for the party.

Steve Allisons comment:

Doug, you didn’t need to read the blog post to know this. All you need to read was the title and the name of the author. There are certain people in this party for whom the concept of Nigel not being 100% correct is something they cannot even imagine, let alone actually put into words. To expect Michael Heaver to question Farage in any way is like expecting a blog post by a Catholic Cardinal questioning the doctrine of Papal Infallibility! Unthinkable.

All Hail!! Gaius Nigellus Caesar! Those who speak ill of him do so of the Republic! Yea, kneel down and kiss of his arse, mortals!!!

Nigel’s a good bloke, we get it. I certainly support him; but there are reasons to criticise him and the one thing that is guaranteed to destroy a political party in a democracy is a sycophantic personality cult that rewards toadying – sorry, “loyalty” – to a man over wisdom and competence and devotion to a cause.

If UKIP takes that route, it is no better than the LibLabCon parties and its high admonitions on the lack of’democracy’ and ‘liberty’ are not worth a fig.

Steve Allison’s response:

This is exactly the route that UKIP is taking! Any organisation that believes it is 100% dependent upon one man for its success or failure has started down the path to ultimate destruction. Graveyards are full of people who were indispensable!. If the crash last year had been serious enough that Nigel had died, which I would never wish on anyone, even my worst enemy, or he had been so badly injured that he had to leave politics, are these people who claim Nigel is UKIP’s only hope also saying the party would have collapsed and now no longer exist?

When Nigel departs UKIP, because it is WHEN and not IF, then UKIP will continue and may even be stronger in the long term,  in fact I think it will be stronger in the long term without Nigel. Any gardener will tell you that when one branch on a bush grows so large that it overshadows the rest of the the branches then it’s time for the overgrown branch to be pruned back, otherwise the shape of the bush is destroyed and the longer the singe branch is allowed to grow the harsher the pruning becomes!

Douglas Denny adds his farthing’s worth:

I disagree with this statement too which is also inaccurate.

There were other suitable candidates,  two of which would have made perfectly good leaders in my opinon;  an opinon  based on having supported three Leaders already in the past and seen their efforts.

As Steve Allison rightly says – if Nigel had been killed in the aircraft crash UKIP would have gone on regardless, and would still achieve the kind of success we already enjoy.   The party would have gone in a different direction in some respects,  which might or might not have speeded up that process. Overall though, it is my experience in politics that leaders efforts are more useful during thier term with infrastructure changes and general party direction,  and  the aspect of personalities only becomes important and into the forefront of politics if they are in the focus of the media, – which for UKIP is at election times – and only if they get the media presence, and that only in the last week before an election.
——–

The reason Nigel had such a large poll with the members is because they have never heard of the others much at all,  excepting DCB perhaps.  He did not do well, so cannot have such a well-known or acceptable profile in the party as I thought might be the case.     Nigel, however,  is so well known in the party you could put him up for election as God and he will probably get 60%.

Tim Congden would have made an excellent leader,  and I like his stance on MEPs and UKIP’s efforts being more UK-centric, which resonates with me a lot,  so if there is another leadership election in due course and he stands I shall have to think carefully next time who to go for depending on the candidates and their policy in this respect. Who knows? TC could be the one !
Some others might make good leaders too, but were total unknowns.

Douglas Denny.

Then in response to an apparent interjection Denny continues:

No spat here on this subject.  It’s called rational, informed debate.
——–
This minion,  dogsbody,  jobbing party worker would like to know what the MEPs are doing exactly too but does not actually know, as he is not told.
Whatever it is, it is, but one thing’s for sure – if it’s in Brussels, it is of little use to getting Britain out of the EU.

I find snippets of information about what they do from the internet like you.

Douglas.

It would seem that Douglas Denny is making steps, all be they tiny, towards honesty and telling the truth which must be very difficult for him after so many years telling lies, cheating and inventing childish conspiracy theories to cover up the corruption he was party to.

Leopards DO change their spots – it is a measure of their maturity!

Though I doubt Douglas Denny will ever be man enough to apologise for his lies and his defamatory comments and inventions regarding myself, Niall Warry and others.

That UKIP Fielded Hirelings and a proven dishonest Hugh Williams in defence of UKIP is a sad reflection on the abject failure of leadership!!

.

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

Hi,

it is interesting to note that Marta Andreasen has, after her withering attack on the leadership of UKIP by its so called leader, issued an apology.

It would seem that in the light of crass and irresponsible comments made by Nigel Farage in his attempts to lead the Party she claims to have merely quoted him.

You will note this blog. made a point of stating her use of language was a ‘hostage to fortune’.

May I also point out that her blog as that of a public servant does NOT post comments if they are not favourable to her chosen position and personal career interests.

Unlike this blog which is no more than a series of statements of fact and unashamedly my opinions on the facts presented as a private unfunded individual seeking to clean-up UKIP to make it fit for purpose as our lifeboat and a vehicle for leadership for these United kingdoms to Leave-The-EU – which currently it clearly is not – as is notably highlighted by the likes of Marta Andreasen, skeptyk, independent UKIP, Mick McGough, Godfrey Bloom, David Bannerman, Stuart Agnew and the many other liars, low lifes and cheats who so consistently drag the name of UKIP in the gutter with their lies and serial distortions.

APOLOGIES

May 14, 2011 8:14 pm – Posted by Marta 

Hugh Williams forwarded to me a statement where he calls my comments in respect of the party´s finances “patently false” and he refutes them.

The “mis-information” -as Hugh calls it- about the party´s financial status,  came from Nigel himself on such terms and more than once.

As I do not have the chance to see the party´s accounting records,  at this point I have to rely on Hugh´s opinion.

Appointed assistant Treasurer two months ago, Hugh seems to have grasped the financial situation very quickly and appears to know better than the leader of the party. I have therefore to conclude that Nigel´s comment to me may not respond to reality, in which case I withdraw my reference to it.

In fact looking at the huge number of staff Nigel recruits in the UK and in Brussels and relating it to the 9 UKIP councillors that were elected out of 9,300 seats, I should have realized that the party enjoyed a more than comfortable financial situation! Apologies!!!

.

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

Hi,

this article in The new Statesman is a little crass and overly harsh as I do believe there were a few more than the 200 claimed present – indeed The BBC quoted The Met. as pronouncing 3-350 were present.

Further the magazine article ends with a question best applied to itself –

Why did this failure of an event generate so much news coverage?

Simples – it was clearly incompetently organised, poorly publicised and failed to attract – as a result that they had as one person being quoted the utterly discreditted liar and cheat Mick McGough which can hardly have helped and no one of gravitas or stature attended to speak – although it had been claimed, falsely as it transpired, that Daniel Hannan AND Bill Cash were to be speakers.

Whether this was a deliberate lie by the likes of McGough and the all too amateur kids who organised it or that having rightly read the runes both speakers cried off leaving a stream of largely well meaning but hardly known bit players.

May I submit that to lay on events like this is an object lesson to all.

You do your cause, whatever it might be, more harm than good by failing to get a significant gathering as a result of incompetence, amateurism and without a driving force backed by a significant name.

I am sure I am not alone in having attended private weddings with larger guest lists at the near by St. Margarets.

Such an obvious failure hands our opponents a stick to beat us with and is as crass and damaging as making much in pretence that leading a Village Council is some sort of relevant achievement for a Political Party after 18 years!

That anyone attended to listen to Farage is something of a miracle after the week he has just had, where there was a call for his resignation from his only significant MEP liar though she may be, and he could, by the end of the week, only muster the support of 3 corrupt and proven liars – Derek Clark MEP, Mick McGough and Hugh Williams they were not the only ones on the make and the take in support there were several kids who posted on their In House Forum and a couple of employees off of the Farage salary roll – Not a single individual of probity or stature has spoken out publicly on his behalf, not ONE, the Party is in such disarray!

That Marta Andreasen MEP was misguided to claim the party is bankrupt was something of a hostage to fortune and UKIP’s only plausible comeback – even then it was not made by THE donor Stuart Wheeler who acts as Treasurer and Malcolm Pearson‘s support was conspicuous by its absence, as was Lord Willoughby de Broke who had spoken out AGAINST Farage’s foolish poliy in the days before the AV Vote and we note no murmour from Christopher Monkton UKIP’s other Peer (Non Sitting) nor from the dullard Wee Willy The Earl of Dartmouth (probably couldn’t get permission from Acid Raine!).

In fact not only was support of any stature (I think there are still a few) from members conspicuously silent but even the meeeja find UKIP so irrelevant now that there was little sign of them. UKIP must be an irrelevance that they themselves count beating The Greens in the local elections an achievement and they can not muster publicity by significance when a resignation call is made on their only known figure (or so he has ensured!).

The final embarrassment of the Rally, for whatever, was that it was noted that its failure gained a surprising amount of publicity after the event – would that anyone trying such a childish stunt in future gets a grown up to help – at least someone who ensures adequate clout to be sure of advertising and promotion beyond the childrens hour social networking and Twits Tweeting.

By the by did anyone actually know what the strap line for the event was for if they did they managed to spectacularly fail to get it across!

Rally Against Debt? It was more of a long queue

Lisa Hamilton, who observed the pro-cuts demonstration, was not impressed.

Signs at the Rally Against Debt. The organisers say these are counter-protest placards. Photo: Getty Images

On 26 March nearly half a million people descended on the capital to oppose the Government’s cuts agenda and demand an alternative. Six weeks later 200 people (I’m being generous) stood on a pavement outside parliament to give a big “thumbs up” to the same policies.
To say turnout at the Rally Against Debt was low is to be very polite. It was abysmal. Don’t think protest. Think long queue.
In an attempt to gloss over the low turnout, one attendee has described the event as “not bad for a Facebook flash mob“. (Presumably the traditional Tory “blame it on the weather” excuse was rejected due to the unfortunately good weather.)
Hmm. A flash mob is, at least according to Wikipedia, a group of people who assemble to perform a seemingly pointless act often for the purpose of satire. A flash mob is not a publicised event with a shiny website.
The site (which hasn’t been updated since a “we’re trending on twitter” post on Friday afternoon) promised a “great networking opportunity”, a number of “high profile guests” and “plenty to do” during the rally.
Unfortunately, the low turnout (Guido Fawkes claimed 500, but it looked less than half that to me) meant that most of the attendees already seemed to know each other and while Ukip’s Nigel Farage had indeed flown in for the event, “plenty to do” seemed to involve standing increasingly closer together in order to make the crowd look bigger. There were also a couple of short-lived chants and EU flag-burning for those who like that sort of thing.
Toby Young, one of the most high-profile supporters of the rally, came in for mockery when he missed it – because he took his children to an exhibition about pirates in a (publicly funded) museum.
If the March for the Alternative suggested that a cross-section of society strongly opposed the cuts being made by the Tory government, then the Rally Against Debt suggested that white, middle class, middle-aged men are opposed to taxation, don’t like Europe or public services, but do like chinos, rugby shirts, looking after their own interests, and causing minor obstructions outside parliament.
The Rally Against Debt taught us nothing new. However, it did leave one big question: Why did this failure of an event generate so much news coverage?
Perhaps the snappers enjoyed the novelty of outnumbering the crowd.

I guess we shouldn’t complain at the amateur nature of this event when you think we have some 29,000 professional politicians with their aids who cost us a basic salary of £1/2 A Billion a year.

Ten Bob spent on this event would have been of some help in default of competence!

Rather than do the damage it clearly did to the cause. Perhaps there were those who had arrived thinking they were at the ‘Rally for Sluts’ for was that not last Saturday too?

Posterity will regard Farage as the Churchill of our times.

Comparisons with Churchill can, more often than not, be trite.
However, Nigel Farage offers an interesting one. In years to come, when Britain is a sub-state of the EU and a patriotic school boy, or historian, asks: ‘How and who could have saved it?’ they will,
no doubt, come across one Nigel Farage from Kent, England.

Farage will not only engender both immense sympathy and intrigue, but will also become an exemplary figure of courage in the face of overwhelming political odds, including general media and public hostility.

Whilst Churchill was able to use two formidable party machines to further his political career (Conservative and Liberal), causing often derision in his own party, Farage has become a public figure through a party that over twenty years ago did not exist. That is some achievement.

His orations in the European Parliament are extraordinary, not just for their energy and vitality, but because he is like David facing Goliath in a cesspit of snakes where everyone is against him. People forget that UKIP is the only political party in that Parliament that is opposed to their nation’s continuing membership, and hated with a vulgar passion by the other political factions therein.


He wields his unalloyed silver tongue on the simple truth that democracy and self-government matter.
This is something that Churchill suggested, bellowing, to Halifax in one of their first Cabinet meetings during the war when the latter suggested giving up Uganda to Hitler to achieve peace. Whilst Churchill won the war and lost the election in 1945, no one would have anticipated that UKIP would have come second in the European elections in 2009. Nor that it would capture a million votes nationally within two decades of its formation.

Who knows with Farage continuing at its helm, where it will be in 2019, a decade after UKIP established itself as the serious political alternative in Britain?

Despite overwhelming odds it is exciting to watch to where the mercurial gifts of their leader will take UKIP. The only path and destiny open to him is upwards, or else Britons will be left scrapping over the process of fragmentation of the UK whilst the real ruler becomes Brussels, like a silent nocturnal baby-snatcher fabled in medieaval popular myths. Whilst Churchill was born to fight the Nazis (he wrote this in a letter as a school-boy) providence has created a parallel in Farage to fight today’s EU cormorant seeking to devour our independent democracy.

My fictional patriotic schoolboy will be filled with tears, if he finds that the battle was lost and that Farage was left to be devoured by the monsters of the media and his political opponents.

He may pick-up one of the flags of St George, St Andrew, or Saint David but he may never forgive Farage’s detractors.

Have you actually met Nigel Farage? Just wondering….

Hi, 
with respect – 
clearly you have as little knowledge of Winston Churchill as you have of election strategy. 
Your comments are tasteless and demean a great man of British history. 
As anonymous has said ‘have you ever met Farage?’. 
He is no Churchill – 
both of whom I have met. 
WSC was an erudite man of breeding, education and ability. 
WSC had served these United Kingdoms both militarily and as an administrator in Britain & abroad in Peace & War, in Britain & in The Commonwealth and beyond. 
WSC was a skilled & much published author. 
Tell me what has Farage done & in what way do you even in your sycophancy deem it apropriate to demean WSC by comparison with Farage, whose ability as a performing monkey is great but as a leader, author, educated man is inconspicuous. 
You may not have been in UKIP or have heard of the Party sufficient to realise that when Roger Knapman resigned the leadership he had advanced UKIP from 3 MEPs to 12 and had built up 30,000 members. 
This Farage inheritted. 
Perhaps since he has reduced the membership to a 1/2 and obtained a mere 370,000 votes in the recent election you could clarify or at very least show a Churchillian similarity beyond the fact that both men were near financially illiterate. 
I look forward to you publishing an apology for your tasteless inference.

Surely to be supported by Derek Clark must equate to admitting you are an associate of the liar & low life Mick McGough or Michael Heaver or David Bannerman or an employer of filth like Mark Croucher, Gawain Towler, John Ison or UKIP’s foul mouthed Anabelle Fuller!!

Hi,

hidden deep on the internet I have finally found an MEP willing after a week in Strasburgh to state support for Nigel Farage.

So far it would seem that the utterly irrelevant and thouroughly dishonest worm of a man Derek Clark MEP has woken from his slumbers sufficient one assumes to put his duiscreditted name in support of Nigel Farage.

WITHOUT EXCEPTION no individual of ANY credibility has stepped up to the plate in public to support Nigel Farage and his competence as leader of UKIP – which is astonishing!

It is very similar to when he was exposed as consorting with the prostitute Lega in his home area with a double page spread in The News of The World – Not ONE person stepped forward in his defence or support – not a friend, not an associate nor even a hireling. Those with a memory will recall the ONLY assistance he and Kirsten received during that period was from myself.

Yet again in public it would seem I am THE ONLY individual willingly to defend his incompetence in public – though to be sure there are the usual discreditted self servers sheltering in anonymity or with no reputation or integrity to defend speaking in his favour – Though let us be honest they are few and amongst them almost all are doing so by attack on the odious and dishonest Marta Andreasen MEP who but a few moments ago they were busily promoting!

Now we have the vituperous and discreditted creep Derek Clark coming to the rescue – is this the equivalent of the kiss of death and the ultimate betrayal of Farage that this is the ONLY member of the party speaking out in public?

Having killed the party off in his own region is this Derek Clark’s effort to damage the Party Nationally for who would derive comfort from such an odious individual but in abject failure!

UKIP MEP vows his support for leader

A UKIP MEP has thrown his support behind leader Nigel Farage after the party’s positive showing at last week’s local elections.


[ClickPress, Fri May 13 2011] A UKIP MEP has thrown his support behind leader Nigel Farage after the party’s positive showing at last week’s local elections.

East Midlands MEP Derek Clark rejected calls from South East MEP, Marta Andreasen, for Mr Farage – who received 60 per cent of the membership vote only last November – to quit as leader.

Mr Clark disputed Ms Andreasen’s claim the party had done poorly in the council elections.

In England alone, the party gained 323,065 votes, compared to 208,180 in 2007.

He said: “I reject that completely and I continue to support Nigel as leader.

“In fact, data now being released shows Marta is completely wrong – while we did not gain many council seats, the results from across the country show a significant rise in our total vote.

“Scotland and Wales also show increased vote totals in their regional assembly elections, while Henry Reilly in Northern Ireland almost doubled his vote.”

He pointed to the figures, which showed UKIP making significant electoral advances since 2007, polling a total of 390,555 votes nationwide in last Thursday’s local and regional elections – three times more votes, pro rata, than in last year’s General Election.

Mr Clark said he would continue to work with Ms Andreasen but said Mr Farage had his full backing as leader.

The party also dismissed the calls. UKIP executive chairman Steve Crowther said he was astonished at the resignation call and said it was a mis-reading of the political situation in the UK.

He said: “Our total vote in England, gained across only one-eighth of the total seats up for election, puts this result on a par with our performance in the 2009 European Elections.

“Though this did not translate into a huge number of wins – we made a net gain of four unitary, district and borough councillors, against the Greens’ 14, the English Democrats’ one and the BNP’s loss of 11 – it clearly showed we have made substantial progress in the past 12 months.

“We established ourselves as the fifth party in Wales, more than doubled our vote in Scotland and made a successful first entry into Northern Ireland, with our candidate Henry Reilly topping the poll in Kilkeel.”

And in Mr Clark’s East Midlands constituency alone, UKIP fielded 109 candidates, up from 82 candidates at the last local elections in 2007 and won an encouraging 27,798 votes.

While in the European elections in the South East of England Ms Andreasen and Mr Farage finished ahead of Labour and the Liberal Democrats with nearly 20 per cent of the vote.

Hi,

an interesting comment on the obvious stupidity of letting idiots loose acting in their own interest and self serving greed for status to desperately try to lie, cheat and leapfrog their way to listing as potential MEPs – Just how embarrassing can the on line snippet in The Daily Mail be regarding this disaster?

Genuine Patriots in UKIP must be relieved that the story of this foolish and dishonourable failure did not get into any papers of note.

Few of any intelligence or decency would disagree with UKIP’s staff member and now NEC appointee Steve Allison who comments:

The politicisation of any previously non-political group is actually a very bad thing in my opinion. Would you say it was a good thing that Remembrance Sunday is becoming more and more political? How long before it’s just another campaign activity that we all tick off on our campaign plans? I have never and will never lay a UKIP Wreath at a remembrance parade. I don’t want politics in that day. Look at the outcry when Tony Blair tried to use Royal occasions for party politics.

Try reading the Triumph of the political class by Peter Obourne. Brilliant Book. We should be fighting for less politics in things not more.

I do congratulate Lisa and her team on their result but I am still slightly saddened that politics has gained another foothold. In my opinion party politics shouldn’t be a part of local government at any level.

Clearly neither Peter Reeve nor his doxy Lisa Duffy would have the intellect or fundamental common sense to realise the damaging and demeaning folly of their stupidity.

So within hours the foolish pair dashed down to get their hands on the chain for a quick snap which demeans not only UKIP but the office of this glorified Parish Council – Ramsey is sadly made to look stupid by such behaviour – could they find no one of sober and self effacing competence?

This does rather show the stupidity of unprofessional UKIP with no competent training being used and abused for personal gain! What a shame to politicise yet another area of life just for these odious nobodies!

  • Population in 1801 – 1894.
  • Population in 1851 – 4645.
  • Population in 1901 – 4823.
  • Population in 1951 – 5770.
  • Population in 1971 – 5646.
  • After 1981 the parish population figures were divided into to the two de-facto parishes of Ramsey St. Mary and Ramsey Town.
  • Population in 1981 – 5816 (Ramsey St. Mary parish) and 3652 (Ramsey Town).
  • Population in 1991 – 4995 (Ramsey St. Mary parish) and 5181 (Ramsey Town).

I assume this includes the quoted 1,400 students at the local college!

Sadly this does put the over blown claims of UKIP’s achievements in perspective:

The Mouse That Roared!

Ruritania Rides Out?

I do appreciate this is being promoted as some sort of achievement to cover for the wholesale failure of UKIP in domestic politics.

I live in Chepstow in Monmouthshire at Geo. Sat. 353 484-194 013 or if you would rather NP16 5ET & NP16 5EX – you will note that is almost slap bang in the middle of the town of Chepstow.

Chepstow has a population of around 20,000 and in most wards it is a struggle to find someone to stand for the clown Council as it is – like all other Town Councils – virtually irrelevant – in fact I haven’t a clue and less interest who is the Mayor, a title awarded on the basis of ‘Buggins Turn’. £1 for each time I have been approached to stand or be co-opted to unfilled seats would pay for a pleasant evening for myself and a couple of friends at a local restaurant.

I note the comments of a UKIP supporter, in the local area of Ramsey, Len Baynes on one of the UKIP controlled Forums is telling and clearly UKIP would seem to have done themselves more harm than good with this appointment:

There are times when it is a good strategy not to win some elections. It has been a good strategy by Peter Reeve & Lisa Duffy to win district & council seats in their town & Lisa is set fair to win the final district council seat next year.

But the way they have taken over the parish council has left a bad taste in the town. The council has always been non-political and has had good respresentation from the town & the villages which make up the Ramsey ward. But UKIP flooded the ballot paper with candidates some of whom don’t live in the ward; and won an immediate majority. They then voted in Lisa Duffy as mayor and Ian Curtis as deputy mayor. Indeed the whole stance is combative so instead of everyone sitting randomly round the table Reeve has put all the UKIP members on one side of the table and the rest on the other side.

This is too much too soon and has shaken a lot of people in the town. It would be stupid to lose the bigger prizes by appearing to want a “benign” dictatorship in the area.

So far contary to some of the statements on this forum the Tories have been quite laid back about UKIP in the Ramsey area as they have huge majorities in Huntingdon DC and Peterborogh City council. This year the Lib DEms didn’t put up a candidate and the Tories put up a paper candidate & did no canvassing or electioneering. However make too big a noise and maybe they’ll get together in a common cause and start spending some money.

Come on guys use your brains

 Another supporter in damning Peter Reeve with sarcasm and feint praise for mounting this politicised raid describes the situation as Lilliputian!

It is hard to disagree – yes indeed well done for personal achievement there will always be those who seek to busy body and claim importance and it is great that our democracy allows for such self important people to gather and discuss, with no authority, the siting of benches, doug fouling in the streets, and as a vent for complaints about late night noise on some Councils they even sometimes have a local community Constable attend.

Even locally I have NEVER heard a political party crowing over the banal squabblings of the mental midgets on our council.

Sorry to present this as some great achievement shows UKIP up and demeans the party more than assists them.

That the party had such risible results in the recent local elections is further highlighted by the fact that they make much of this when let us face it Steve Povey would have been embarrassed if such agrandisement of his time as Mayor had been thus presented!

It is all as toe curlingly embarrassing as  having UKIP represented by proven liars and cheats like Mick McGough, David Bannerman and the like – the gonadically challenged like Gerard Batten, John Bufton and their ilk the utterly stupid like Godfrey bloom or the fraudulently dishonest such as Stuart Agnew, Derek Clark.

Then to see some irrelevant hireling writing blogs and essays dragging the name and reputation of Winston Churchill into the gutter politics of UKIP so demeans the party as to further render them unfit for purpose.

The tragedy is that UKIP was our only lifeboat and they have so demeaned themselves that the people of Britain have resoundingly rejected them as even after 18 years and many £Millions invested out of the 19,500 available seats for election their only claim is to have done better than the crypto communist Greens and promote as their great achievement ONE Mayor placed in a town council! Less than 30 seats are occupied across Britain by those elected as UKIP and of those 13 were elected on the wake of protest against Westminster’s perceived corruption to be MEPs – seen by the British public as largely irrelevant – and who could argue!

Sadly in or should I say within The EU UKIP’s residual 9 members in support of Farage would seem only to be seen as a slightly embarrassing comedy act. It is hardly surprising when one looks at the pond life gathered and rewarded as praise singers – all too willing to offer praise of Farage in return for the monies he liberally contributes to them from the public purse!

Is it any wonder that UKIP is described as bankrupt which I readily concede is something of a foolish statement by the half baked accountant and self publicist Marta Andreasen but that they are technically insolvent must come as little surprise as they desperately wriggle and squirm to avoid further liabilities for their utter incompetence in leadership and man management that has laid them open to serial exposure in the Courts.

Clearly they are broke as they have not as yet honoured their moral debts to me of £12,500 and clearly can not pay them – nor even honour the debt they incurred by their action as ordered by Cardiff Courts of £8,500 – yes it seems they are technically bankrupt their only excuse may be that they are morally bankrupt and utterly duplicitous.

I note Farage has been asked ‘to do a turn’ on 31st. May at a funded talking shop where the promotion is based on offering as compensation for listening to him ‘At least the cocktails will be enjoyable’ – in the invitations!

Hi,

here is the banner advertisement from UKIP’s web site today – Friday 13th.

 We would like to remind the honest patriotic supporters of UKIP that this is the flag placed in the hands corruptly and dishonestly CLICK HERE

Befouling and besmirching UKIP and these United Kingdoms based upon nothing more than self interest in the placement of Marta Andreasen born in The Argentine shortly after WWII to Danish emigree parents, who adopted Spanish citizenship and married a Swede.

A woman with a slime trail rather than a track record having been removed from her post at The OECD she then subsequently was employed as a functionary by The EU where she gained employment by the dishonest expedient of a lie of omission.

The Court record shows that she was removed from her job having failed to produce the report on fraud she had been paid to produce nor was she able to present the recommendations as to how The EU could control fraud that was a part of her job.

The Court found against her see CLICK HERE

May I remind you that this blog published these facts and filth like the habitual liars that write as skeptyk as spokesmen of UKIP leadership with the foul language of Annabelle Fuller and the stunted self serving dishonesty of a dwarf in a cartoon endlessly inventing scenarios and conspiracy theories – rightly too ashamed to put their name to them and the utterly discreditted liar and cheat Mick McGough were all to keen to attack and lie about me and this blog with childish and implausible regularity.

Do note the sponsors of Marta Andreasen in her various bids for self enrichment even down to a book tour to sell her novella in both Britain and Eire.

You will also note it was not until the gullible in UKIP had taken the bait that she made much of reinventing herself as some sort of EU whistle blower – long after she had lost her job on Neil Kinnock’s staff as I recall.

That Marta Andreasen had tried to get assimilated into various other British parties first was an open secret but they had seen through the vile woman.

It was Hugh Williams, Malcolm Pearson, Mick McGough, Nigel Farage and other self serving inadequates in UKIP who handed this woman the flag of these United Kingdoms to trail as her cape through the gutter.

It would seem that whilst the patriots of UKIP support the party with no thought of personal gain the corrupt leadership aided and abetted her dishonesty and corruption handing her OUR flag!

We note she is it seems likely to prostitute OUR flag for leverage to a place (probably via the non escrit where she will find no friends amongst the decent patriotic UKIP supporters who have already distanced themselves from Farage’s befouled behaviour and chums) we can expect Marta Andreasen to trade OUR flag to The EPP to further betray these United Kingdoms as she jokeys for a position in Center Right Politics of Spain – or where else she makes her bed and prostitutes herself!

Steve CROWTHER FIGHTS DIRTY SO LETS SEE HOW HE DOES!!

.

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

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!

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.

To which my OPEN RESPONSE IS:

Hi,


whatever your opinion is and however accurate you or others may consider them to be in Britain it is considered unethical and beneath contempt to bite the hand that feeds you.


Had you wished to make such a statement it may well have been frowned upon but presenting your opinion to the appropriate body in UKIP with an appropriate time line would have been considerably more ethical.


Should you have failed to obtain satisfaction then and only then should you have had the integrity to offer your resignation to join NOT ANOTHER PARTY but The Non Escrit – at which stage and not before your departure such a denunciation may have been acceptable.


Ethically you have slammed the door in your own face and have only one course of action available to you – namely whisky bottle and revolver – IF you lack the honour I’m sure your resignation would be welcome.


I wish you good fortune in your learning curve but doubt any honourable Part or group would countenance your membership in future – which of course will leave many options open to you as The EU functions not on ethics and honour, duty or morality but on greed and self interest so it is clear you will feel at home in its embrace.


You have brought shame on your ethnic origins, shame on your hosted birth, shame on your adopted nationality, shame on your husbands nationality and on your family you have brought shame also.


I do concede with merely a glance at your track record you have entirely lived down to the expectations of which I warned when first I knew of you.
