Simon Muir who was once a dedicated activist, branch chairman & Bristol organiser had the following thoughts:
Words (almost) fail me:
Apparently Farage has an endless supply of people wanting to stand in
front of cannon. It brings to mind Sassoon’s ‘General’ yet again.
Here is the math:
UKIP + (by election) = farce.
UKIP + (by election) + (Lab/LibDim/Moslem voters) = total wipeout
Yet they still do it, wasting effort and money and goodwill in the
process.
Policies? Nope.
Planning? Not really.
Strategy? HaHaHaHaHaHa…
My advice: don’t be a dupe. By all means let the NEC meet, to work out
why the sane people (there must be SOME left in UKIP, somewhere!) have
all stayed home.
Send any funds you might donate to David Davis instead, earmarked for
the genuine Tory revival. It’s got far better chance there of doing some
good.
What are Ladbrokes offering on UKIP getting <1% of the vote? Probably
worth a punt…
