Allegation of Anal Rape Of A Young #Ukip Volunteer By A Ukip MEP In The Press, which had been reported to Ukip Chairman by the girl who claimed to be the victim is now in the national press & not just the Thurrock Gazette!
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
it is astonishing how lax the media are when it comes to sexual assault of women by those in some form of elected authority.
Yet in otherr instances they are all over the alleged miscreant like a cheap suit!
You may well have noted that when the notoriously dishonest and corrupt thief Annabelle Fuller having been caught leaving an MP’s flat having stolen his Blackberry phone, some cofidential letters and his House of Commons pass, and having admitted to her criminality after a day drinking and having, according to an MEP who was present in the pub, targeted the MP specifically she made false accusations that the MP had tried to ‘fondle’ her – this story by Annabelle Fuller, who has now changed her name to avoid identification with her past, was plastered all over the national media.
The publicity given of the true victim in that case, who was Andrew Bridgen, contributed to his being divorced and estranged from his own children – yet in the case of the Ukip MEP Tim Aker – also a fairly obscure politician the matter seems to have been hushed up or at best ignored by the media!
Why was Andrew Bridgen pilloried by the media based on a false allegation made by an untrustworthy thief yet when one of the young Ukip volunteers reports an actual rape and an anal rape at that near silence!
It makes one wonder what other crimes are being hushed up in the light of the various allegations being talked of, regarding Tim Aker, and was his so called foundation a charity with more similarity to those of Jimmy Saville than any legitimate charity!
Police search home of Ukip MEP Tim Aker after sex assault claim
Interview: Tim Aker spoke to detectives Glenn Copus
The home of Ukip MEP Tim Aker has been searched by police investigating allegations of sexual assault, the Standard can reveal.
Officers searched the house in Grays, Essex, with Mr Aker’s consent, after a former Ukip activist contacted police alleging that the East of England MEP had attacked her.
Mr Aker, 30, who has been an MEP since 2014 and was previously head of Ukip’s policy unit, voluntarily attended a police interview over the claim. The alleged attack is said to have taken place last September after a Ukip event attended by party leader Nigel Farage.
The woman first complained to party chairman Steve Crowther in December and it is understood last month she decided to make a police report after being disappointed with the outcome of the Ukip national executive committee’s review of her complaint.
Officers conducted a video interview with her on April 26 and three days later searched Mr Aker’s home in his presence. Essex police are also investigating an allegation of malicious communications after the alleged victim reported that letters about her and Mr Aker had been sent anonymously to politicians and members of the public. Mr Aker is also understood to have complained to police about the letters.
An Essex police spokeswoman said: “Norfolk police were contacted on April 26 with a report of a sexual assault which took place in Essex… Police inquiries are continuing.”
A spokesman for Ukip said Mr Aker denied the sexual assault allegation against him.

Ukip Cornwall (South West) Seems As Corrupt As Ever! When it comes to corruption and internal squabbling little changes in Ukip over the years.
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
the story of Ukip in the South West has been an ongoing debacle for a number of years, right back to when Gawain Towler was dumped by the SW Committee as their candidate because of the facts pertaining to his sexual arousal by his own daughter whilst bathing with her – then the total disregard for democracy within Ukip when he was reinstated a couple of days later by Nigel Farage and promoted within the party.
Meanwhile this was the time when Nigel Farage orchestrated – nay invented – a witch hunt to remove Dr. Eric Edmonds who had been elected by the people of the SW both as their representative on the National Ukip NEC as with Dr. David Abbott – they were dishonestly ousted by Nigel Farage and cronies who feared their efforts to make the party both more accountable and more transparent by for the members.
This was also at the time that the scoundrel Malcolm Wood was colluding behind the backs of elected Ukip committees to engineer his own choices for positions within the party to assist the corruption and the continued dominence of Nigel Farage rendering the party as something of a one man band with individuals like Douglas Denny corrupting internal selection processes and elections aided by low lifes like of Mark Croucher & Mick McGough.
Meanwhile it seemed that some in control were robbing the party blind – viz less than 15% of the money collected via Ashworth Call Centre ever reaching the party (described by Nigel Farage as Ukip’s best ever fund raising scheme).
It was around that time that this web site disclosed the fact that Nigel Farage had set up an off shore trust in The Isle of Man and had in one deposit alone invested £250,000 in the tax haven!
UKIP’s rotten ‘Camborne Redruth and Hayle’ branch in Cornwall was supposed to be shut down after the election due to abject failure to achieve by-election sucess (23% REVERSAL in Pendarves, Camborne) not to mention almost total collapse of the branch during general election campaign, ousting of the branch Chairman and other officals by a cabal led by Cornwall Councilor Harry Blakeley – who then took over the branch himself!
Steve Crowther for reasons unknown made a “180 degree u-turn” and decided to bin the idea and keep the branch open! Nobody knows why, apart from Crowther!
Since then UKIP Cornwall has been a “distaster zone”, and is at the centre of a dispute with members over Anti-Semitic messages eminating from the St Ives branch. Crowther’s failures have caused MAJOR donors to pull out of UKIP funding, including personal friends of Nigel Farage in the Duchy who we, we are reliably informed, are “disgusted” with UKIP’s failure to do anything about these problems!
Local activists that attempted to deal with these issues were given no support from Crowther or UKIP Cornwall Council leader Steph McWilliams, in fact the party threatened those loyal members who attempted to deal with rampant corruption and anti-semitism with disiplinary action should they dare speak of it in public!

Dear REDACTED
If Camborne, Redruth & Hayle branch has irreconcilable disputes or is failing to find adequate leadership, you have my permission to suspend the committee and take it into regional control, under rule B.7.2. However, I recommend identifying a caretaker chairman to keep the home fires burning.

Subject: Re: URGENT – Closing Camborne Hayle Redruth
Steve,
Just to be clear, does your comment below “I am sure you are right” equate to your written permission to close this dysfunctional branch? Unfortunately, the miscommunication, trouble-making & negativity coming out of CHR is invariably widely copied to other members & branches by the Chairman & undermines UKIP’s good name. I have always done my best by the Party & will take this step in the interests of the EU Referendum as I close down tomorrow if I have your backing. As you know, I drafted the letters to the committee & membership several days ago.
By the way, I will be attending the Taunton County meeting this evening as it seems the professional & proper thing to do!
A meeting was arranged so that members could voice their concerns, alas, the meeting was “spolied” by St Ives Chairman Guppy, Camborne Chairman Blakeley, plus an univited guest. The police were almost called to the meeting. Result? PROMOTION of Mr Guppy to “Vice Chairman of the County” a position that does not exist within UKIP!
I’m not sure why you’ve written to me, or any of the other recipients of your ludicrous email.
Let me give you some advice and guidance:
For a start, get your facts right. The person who wrote the minutes for the meeting on the 16th of September, was RO Guy Parfitt. I have re read the meagre account that Guy submitted as being the Minutes for this meeting, and can find no mention of “that woman”. See attachment.
Your version of the events, and with regard to the disruption that you, Blakeley and the woman caused at the start of the meeting, is complete rubbish. There is a full transcript of every word spoken during this 20 minute period of the meeting. This transcript exposes the fact that you have been blatantly misleading others into believing yours and Blakeley’s version of events.
I suggest we meet up at your next branch meeting and discuss this matter openly. Michael Muldowney would be happy to attend as well, and we’d be more than willing to present the transcript, plus other evidence…. can we agree to do this ?, after all, It’s only right that having copied so many in on this matter, that they should know the truth, and you will have the opportunity to prove me wrong, I think not!!!
I also attach another damning comment regarding the perceived disgusting behaviour on the part of all three of you. See attachment. I think this comment sums up the general consensus of opinion from those who were at the meeting, and were unfortunately subjected to yours, Blakeley’s, and the woman’s obnoxious behaviour, in not only attempting to shut the meeting down, but by using the woman to do it. (Gutless is word that springs to mind) All three of you slunk away from the building after being told to leave. This of course can be fully verified by the security staff. The business of the meeting then continued without further disruption.
My advice, You thought you could cause problems, and disrupt the meeting. You succeeded for Twenty minutes in delaying the agenda for the evening. I’m not sure what cost benefits you derived from this futile exercise, but let me assure you that your irrational behaviour does more harm than good, so start acting in a more professional manner, or perhaps, just retire gracefully. The same advice is available to Chm Blakeley.
On another subject, and given the working relationship that you enjoy with Chm Blakeley, I have attached a message that I received from Steve Crowther on the 30th of June, giving permission to put CR&H branch into special measures by removing Harry Blakeley as Chairman of the branch. This came about as a result of a direct instruction from Nigel Farage at a meeting earlier this year.
There were issues during the GE campaign that precluded this edict from being implemented immediately, however, action with regard to this subject is ongoing, and hopefully will be concluded shortly.
Oops, you requested an apology, the answers no, but if you accept the proposed meeting, I’ll more than willingly apologise if I’m proved to be wrong, much as you will, ‘ve no doubt, when your proven wrong!
I look forward to your acceptance e-mail, please include the date, time, and venue for the meeting.

Dear REDACTED
Thanks for the email. Once again, I have taken the liberty of copying this to REDACTED – as I did previously without adverse comment from you – since you may well agree that he should not be kept in the dark.
You say: ‘The opportunity to deal with the ongoing problems on an amicable basis is long gone.’ and ‘…there is little hope of dealing with these issues “in house’ thereby protecting UKIP’s image’. Since you have not specifically mentioned the possible meeting of the three of us I take this to mean that you do not now want to pursue that line. The phrase “in house” is ambiguous: do you mean within the Cornwall Committee, or within UKIP writ large? I suspect the former, in which case – after having spent hours reading much material including MM’s detailed dossier – I agree with you. I am sure you do not mean the latter – to bring up the issue outside Party channels – since that could only harm the Party and do more harm than good.
Yesterday (9 Dec) I discussed the issues with Steve Crowther and he has made the following rulings:
He has investigated the various complaints made primarily by you but also REDACTED against Harry Blakely and Stuart Guppy, and has decided that they do not provide grounds for Party disciplinary action.
If you or REDACTED wish to take these complaints further, you should do so using the Disciplinary Procedures laid down in the Party Constitution and Rule Book. You should get the appropriate forms from Diane Belk, and send them in duplicate when completed to David Chalice at Lexdrum. He will then initiate the necessary procedures within the Disciplinary Committee.
This dispute is not to be further discussed in Cornwall County Committee meetings.
This dispute should not receive any public airing outside UKIP channels. Any attempt to do so – e.g. promulgating anything relating to them in social media – could subject the perpetrator to Party disciplinary action,
The way ahead then is twofold. The County Committee will not discuss these old disputes, but will get on with other important County business. Meanwhile you or REDACTED or both are free to table a complaint under the Party Constitution and Rules as I have previously mentioned more than once. As I understand it, neither Harry nor Stuart is planning to resign; therefore the only ways to remove them are for their branch to vote them out, or for them to be removed by the Party Discipline Committee following a substantiated complaint. There is no formal action that the County Chairman or Committee can take, so there is no point in discussing the issue in County meetings. I agree with you that rotten apples should be eliminated, but this must be through the laid-down procedures.
Finally – a minor point that is not relevant to the main issue – I do not see that I have to ‘defend’ myself for accepting the County Chairman role without knowing all the facts. I accepted nomination reluctantly because I wanted to find out the facts and do all I could to defuse the issue so that Cornwall could get on with its main aims. Formerly, as a non-member of the Committee I was aware of the dispute, but had no locus standi to question people on the issue. As Chairman I had a mandate to do so. Following Steve’s rulings, I no longer need to exercise it.
Whether the above material, which flags up many points made on this web site elsewhere, was supplied to me now because it is ongoing (from what I hear it is) or because there is an election in process I leave to you to speculate.
Do also consider this critique of Ukip Cornwall, firast published on 11-Apr-2016:
FULL COLLAPSE OF ENTIRE #UKIP CORNWALL AS ANOTHER COUNCILLOR QUITS
Cornwall might be on the periphery of the UK, but when it comes to UKIP it is central to their plans – and for those of us who keep tabs, an interesting barometer of UKIP fortunes. ‘Kipper’ success in the Duchy was at one time promoted heavily by the party, after it ‘won’ the 2014 EU elections with 37% of the vote in the county, it also returned the party six seats in 2013’s local elections.
Cornwall: Lots of elderly retirees, and by the sea. Perfect Ukip territory, you’d think.
The county has a unitary authority council running it, and there is high support for a Cornish assembly that would maximise devolved powers replacing the existing system, and although UKIP are against it, at one time they conceivably could have won seats in the proposed ‘parliament’.
This money has been used to fund infrastructure and education, however, UKIP wish to do away with it and despite claims they would replace it we’re yet to see any costed, serious, plans.
With the news that UKIP Cornwall Councillor Mark Hicks has quit, the party’s local representatives have fallen to just two, from the original six.
We have already covered the situation with racism and anti-Semitism in our previous articles, and with UKIP’s utter unprofessionalism and repeated gaffes in Cornwall we feel they are totally unelectable.
This should be a warning for anybody considering voting for UKIP as their local representative.
Here is our run down of UKIP’s Cornish Council failures.
MICHAEL KEOGH – Elected to a ward in the Falmouth and Truro area, Keogh became the first of the six to quit just months after the election. No official explanation from UKIP was given but rumours circulated about his health issues, which we are told were legitimate.
VIV LEWIS – Lewis claimed he was a paper candidate who just happened to get elected (by 12 votes) and in his mid-eighties when he came to office. Immediately involved in public bout of racism, he claimed he couldn’t be racist because he had “been to the West Indies on holiday”. He resigned in 2015 and his seat was won by Labour. Mr Lewis passed away in January of this year.
DEREK ELLIOTT – We’re told Elliott is a “solid councillor and a good chap”. A 2010 PPC who had a good profile in his constituency, he was pushed aside for ‘big draw’ Bob Smith, a personal friend of Nigel Farage for the Camborne/Redruth target seat. Still remains a Cornwall Councillor but we are told he won’t be running again in 2017.
STEPHANIE McWILLIAMS – Long term UKIP insider and former party health spokeswoman who has done the rounds on regional and county committees. Led the council election campaign on a pledge to oppose house building, but then voted for a 45,000 increase anyway. A lame duck since the housing vote, McWilliams was also involved in the anti-Semitic cover up in St Ives (see our previous articles) which caused donors to withdraw £100k in funding and support. We’re are also told she “did nothing” to support her general election candidate. She has since resigned her chairmanship of South East Cornwall and does not plan to seek re-election in 2017.
Ukip’s Glasgow Chairman Sarah Devenney Quits on the eve of elections! Bringing up the rear so far, in the long list of Ukip Scotland office holders, her decision was clearly stated to be on the grounds of a bad experience with the undemocratic Ukip Scotland!
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,
Gasgow’s most recent Chairman Sarah Devenney has quit the party, here is her resignation letter/statement to whom it may concern:
I’m very passionate about campaigning for Brexit, believing that the democratic deficit within the EU is wholly unjust and prejudicial and that reclaiming UK sovereignty will allow Brits to rebuild our society and economy. Brexit is why I joined UKIP.
However in my brief period with UKIP, I have come to feel that the internal democratic deficit of the party has inhibited the ability of Scottish branches to campaign for Brexit. I am not alone: the majority of UKIP’s Scottish Chairmen are likewise minded.
It is three full years since Scottish members were allowed to elect a Scottish committee and two and a half years of ‘Special Measures’.
Members of UKIP’s NEC, some of whom are presently Assembly candidates in Wales, must be asked whether the democratic deficit – Special Measures – in Scotland prevails with their backing. Also, why were Welsh members deserving of a ballot on candidates and Scots not? Can these decisions be linked with Farage’s recent dismissal of a petition signed by 5 out of 8 Scottish Chairmen as “totally and utterly irrelevant”?
I expect the party to respond with a personal attack, when instead it might recover some credibility by addressing the constitutional points raised. “Just a handful of disgruntled critics” is no longer going to cut the mustard as a retort. The Scottish electorate won’t be taken for mugs.
I’m a democrat through and through. Perhaps unlike a good number of NEC members, I won’t negotiate on democracy or choose to suspend it when it suits. So I feel that UKIP is not the vehicle to achieve a Brexit vote. Together, we the people can achieve a victory over the establishment on June 23rd, without giving UKIP a greater vote share in this week’s regional elections.
I hereby quit the party.
I will continue to very actively campaign for Brexit and I welcome Scottish patriots, regardless of party affiliation, to join me. Please visit
UKIP official quits party due to ‘democratic deficit’

A UKIP official has quit the party over an alleged internal ‘democratic deficit’.
Sarah Devenney, who was the party’s Glasgow branch chairwoman, is the latest UKIP activist in Scotland to leave the party in recent months. In a post on the Glasgow branch’s Facebook page, Devenney cites the party’s emergency “special measures” as one of her reasons for quitting.
She said: “I’m very passionate about campaigning for Brexit, believing that the democratic deficit within the EU is wholly unjust and prejudicial and that reclaiming UK sovereignty will allow Brits to rebuild our society and economy. Brexit is why I joined UKIP.
“However, in my brief period with UKIP I have come to feel that the internal democratic deficit of the party has inhibited the ability of Scottish branches to campaign for Brexit.

Also, why were Welsh members deserving of a ballot on candidates and Scots not?

She continued: “I expect the party to respond with a personal attack, when instead it might recover some credibility by addressing the constitutional points raised. ‘Just a handful of disgruntled critics,’ is no longer going to cut the mustard as a retort. The Scottish electorate won’t be taken for mugs.
“I’m a democrat through and through. Perhaps unlike a good number of NEC members, I won’t negotiate on democracy or choose to suspend it when it suits.”
The party’s democratic decision making in Scotland was stopped in 2013 after a row over candidate selection for the 2014 European Parliament election. These have not be relaxed since meaning that UKIP’s candidates for Thursday’s Scottish Parliament elections were chosen by the UK wide national executive committee.
As David Coburn is the party’s leader in Scotland he has a seat on the executive committee making him the only Scottish representative on the decision making body.
UKIP has dismissed the criticism from activists as “careerist egos” and that politics is “better off” without them.
A party spokesperson said: “Without UKIP there would not be an EU referendum, so the argument we are not a vehicle for Brexit is clearly ignorant nonsense, and the fact that someone that doesn’t understand that simple idea is leaving the party is hardly bad news for us.
“Perhaps if the Chairman of Glasgow had actually done anything in the campaign rather than just be bitter that she wasn’t chosen to top the list, she would have discovered that growing number of Scots will support UKIP this year.
“As soon as she knew she had not been selected as number one on the list, she decided not to stand and seemingly did no campaigning, so no one in the party will be taking lessons from her in acting in the best interests of UKIP or the Brexit campaign.
“With that in mind, it seems that the process that prevented her getting the top spot on the list was very effective in separating the wheat from the chaff.
The spokesperson continued: “Anyone that leaves in the last week of a campaign, is not and possibly never has been interested in the cause, nor their fellow candidates or the party, they are just out to cause damage.
“This is all about their private careerist egos, that frankly politics would be better off without.
“They don’t like the fact that UKIP is now attracting people from the left as well as the right, we are not an annexe of the Tory party, and some of them don’t like that.”
Chair of UKIP’s Glasgow branch quits party claiming there is a ‘democratic deficit’ in Scotland
UKIP MEP and leader in Scotland David CoburnPeter Swindon, Group Investigations Writer / @PeterSwindon
The chair of UKIP’s Glasgow branch has quit the party claiming there is a “democratic deficit”.
Sarah Devenney, 37, follows several other high profile UKIP members to walk away in recent weeks.
Many are unhappy about a decision to allow the party’s leader in Scotland, David Coburn MEP, to pick Holyrood candidates.
Democratic decision-making functions in Scotland were suspended by the London-based party hierarchy in 2013 during a period of infighting.
These so-called “special measures” meant that members were not asked to vote for their chosen Scottish Parliament candidates.

Coburn previously said publicly that Holyrood candidates would be selected and ranked by an assessment team led by UKIP director Paul Oakden, so that the MEP could “avoid any accusation of bias”.
But it was revealed in March that Mr Oakden contradicted Coburn in a subsequent email to party members which stated that the National Executive Committee “have determined that the UKIP Leader in Scotland should devise a list, including candidate rankings for each region of Scotland.”
Mr Coburn later denied that he was involved in the process and insisted he was “not imposing anyone on anyone”.
However, an email from party chairman Steve Crowther – uncovered on Sunday – confirmed that Mr Coburn was indeed given control, and then placed himself top of UKIP’s regional list in the Highlands and Islands.
Read more: UKIP candidate warns party on ‘brink of disintegration’ in Scotland
Ms Devenney said she joined UKIP because she is “passionate” about campaigning for the UK to leave the European Union but now believes UKIP is “not the vehicle to achieve a Brexit vote”.
Writing on the UKIP Glasgow branch Facebook page she said: “I have come to feel that the internal democratic deficit of the party has inhibited the ability of Scottish branches to campaign for Brexit. I am not alone: the majority of UKIP’s Scottish chairmen are likewise minded.
“It is three full years since Scottish members were allowed to elect a Scottish committee and two and a half years of special measures.

“I expect the party to respond with a personal attack, when instead it might recover some credibility by addressing the constitutional points raised. Saying it is just a handful of disgruntled critics is no longer going to cut the mustard as a retort. The Scottish electorate won’t be taken for mugs.”
Former aide to David Coburn and Glasgow branch secretary, Robert Malyn, who quit UKIP on Sunday, backed the move by the chair of the Glasgow branch – the largest in Scotland which could now be dissolved.
“Until the democratic deficit in UKIP Scotland is addressed, UKIP will never gain the popular support that it needs to grow,” said Mr Malyn. “The party in Scotland needs to be taken out of the shackles of special measures, otherwise UKIP is damaged goods and not fit for purpose.”
Former vice chairman of UKIP Scotland Malcolm Mackay, who quit the party in 2014, added: “I resigned over these same issues two and a half years ago. I would like to fully support Sarah Devenney and all of those who, like the Glasgow chair, stand up for the principles she espouses in this resignation.
“UKIP is not Brexit and the Brexit campaign is not UKIP, and David Coburn MEP is neither.”
The Scottish arm of the anti-EU party has been beset by splits in recent months. Holyrood candidate Euan Blockley quit in March and only yesterday the chairman of the Edinburgh branch, Alan Melville, who tops UKIP’s Lothian list, said the party in Scotland is close to “all-out civil war”.
David Coburn has dismissed the criticism as “a lot of tosh”.
Ukip Thurrock In Some Difficulty! With communications claimed to be from their Councillor James Baker leading to his suspension & Tim Aker Ukip MEP & Cllr. under police investigation – what next?
A THURROCK UKIP councillor has been suspended after an allegation that he sent offensive e-mails to a local resident.
Copies of e-mails allegedly sent by East Tilbury councillor, James Baker, appeared on a Facebook page called “Your East Tilbury”.
A resident opened a thread stating that they were appalled at the communication sent to them by cllr Baker, who was elected as a councillor in May 2015.
The resident put the conversation in context as they alleged that the correspondence related to incidents at the Bata Club in East Tilbury on Friday night (April 29th).
The resident only published extracts of communication made from cllr Baker’s Thurrock Council e mail address but they included a stream of foul and abusive language including the line “F… you and f… all of you.”
The e-mails appear to be from jxbaker@thurrock.gov.uk
The resident did not publish their part (if any) of the e-mail conversation.
YT has contacted both cllr Baker and the Thurrock UKIP group leader, Graham Snell in order that they may put their side of the story.
A Thurrock UKIP spokesperson said: “Cllr James Baker has been suspended pending an internal investigation.”
Thurrock Council has confirmed to YT that they are aware of the e-mails.
The Facebook thread has been taken down.
YT has reached out to the “complainer” but they have yet to reply.
Is Farage Playing A Double Game as he milks the system for all he can?

Is Farage Playing A Double Game?
May 3rd, 2016.
If the man had any sense of humility whatsoever, Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), who has consistently condemned EU politicians for wasting taxpayer’s money, might feel somewhat embarrassed about revelations that he has been charging said taxpayers as much as £15,000 per day for his own personal security.
Secura Associates, a firm hired to provide bodyguards to Farage, was tasked with arranging security for his attendance at political events. Their duties allegedly included ensuring that “adequate refreshments” were made available to him. Those who know Farage well may smile at that.
The company, which employs a number of former soldiers, charged some £58,000 over a relatively short period of time for providing security at a small number of events, many of which were barely attended.
What is most interesting about this story, which was reported in the Daily Mail as well as other media, is that the information provided – specifically documentary evidence of costs incurred and claimed for – could only have come from the Secretariat of Farage’s political group, the so-called Europe of Freedom & Direct Democracies (EFDD) within the European Parliament itself. This attack on Farage is an inside job.
Also, the specific details concerning attendance numbers at events for which security was provided, at great expense to the taxpayer, point to the source being a UKIP insider with access to both European Parliament papers, and UKIP internal reports.
This may suggest a disgruntled employee who has sufficient intellect to have tired of being a Yes Man to Farage, or it may indicate the rumblings of a wider internal coup.
Otherwise, it may tell us that Farage has unwittingly employed yet another Tory whose true allegiance rests with the Conservative Party which is now at odds with him over the issue of Brexit.
Of course, EU Today is well aware of the source.
There are attempts ongoing in the UKIP camp to silence dissent, and indeed to prevent staff speaking to unapproved journalists. There are “strong arm tactics being applied by an EFDD official with former Irish Republican terrorist links”, according to more than one source.
The apparent lack of integrity of the UKIP leadership may become a major factor in the outcome of the Brexit vote, and may contribute to the vote to remain in the EU: But perhaps that is how it was always intended to be…….
Farage’s £15,000 a day bodyguards… on the taxpayer: Ukip leader branded a ‘hypocrite’ after using EU money to fund team of ex-military personnel – while attacking wasteful spending by Brussels
Security firm guarding Nigel Farage sent hefty bills to European Parliament
Its checklist of tasks included ‘ensuring refreshments have been arranged’
Team accompanied MEP at great expense throughout his nationwide tour
Opponents called Farage a ‘hypocrite’ for seemingly extravagant spending
PUBLISHED: 23:24, 1 May 2016 | UPDATED: 13:03, 2 May 2016
Nigel Farage has claimed up to £15,000 a day in taxpayer-funded expenses for bodyguards, it can be revealed today.
The Ukip leader used EU funds to pay for a team of ex-military personnel to follow him around the country as he made referendum campaign speeches.
Documents leaked to the Mail show how the security firm, whose guards have previously protected Sir Elton John, sent a series of hefty bills to the European Parliament for its services. A checklist of tasks included ‘ensuring refreshments have been arranged’ for Mr Farage.

The team, led by a former military police officer who served in Afghanistan, accompanied the MEP at great expense through his tour – even when he was speaking in front of only a few hundred people.
Mr Farage, who has repeatedly criticised wasteful EU spending, racked up a security bill of £58,000 for just five events held in modest venues such as a darts arena in Essex where there was not a single demonstrator. Opponents last night branded him a ‘hypocrite’ as he confirmed the seemingly extravagant spending.
The European Parliament refused to condemn the payments, saying it was up to Mr Farage how his Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group (EFDD) spent its £2.5 million-a-year EU funding.
Mr Farage embarked on the ‘Say No to the EU’ tour – a series of public meetings he described as ‘the largest Eurosceptic campaign perhaps ever seen’ – in the final four months of last year.
Leaked paperwork shows how Secura Associates, the firm hired to provide bodyguards to Mr Farage in the run-up to the General Election, was tasked with arranging security for the events.
WHY IT COSTS US SO MUCH TO PROTECT HIM
Threat assessments produced by Secura Associates and submitted to the European Parliament to justify the hefty bills included how it was necessary to have enough guards to create a decoy and ensure there were adequate refreshments for Mr Farage.
In the documents, leaked to the Mail, the firm said the assessments had ‘been conducted based on historic events, current open-source intelligence and liaison with local law enforcement agencies’.
They claimed it was necessary ‘to assess all potential risks and weigh these against the security measures we can employ to negate them – prevention being better than cure’.
The firm set out how a ‘venue security team leader’, ‘team members’ and ‘intelligence-gathering staff’ were needed for each event. It added: ‘Our aim is not simply to stop an attack or a protest – we are there to prevent harm from whatever source befalling our principal and event delegates’.
A checklist of actions to be carried out by the security officers included ‘ensuring refreshments have been arranged’.
Despite the relatively small size of some of the venues, the company charged at least £9,000 for each appearance.
As Mr Farage kicked off the tour at the Emmanuel Hall in Westminster, security cost £15,000, even though it was claimed there were just 15 protesters outside.
For a speech on September 7 at the Winter Gardens in Margate, Kent – the scene of the Ukip leader’s election defeat four months earlier – the company charged £9,000.
The next week, Mr Farage flew to Belfast to speak at a hotel in the city, where according to the local party, ‘a packed house of 300 people were in attendance’.
Northern Irish police provided armed officers outside the venue, yet according to a bill addressed to Mr Farage’s group in the European Parliament, Secura charged £10,000 for its services.
Three days later, as Mr Farage spoke at a darts arena in Purfleet, Essex, the sum was again £10,000. Organisers said there were no demonstrators at the venue, which is downstairs from a strip club.
Additional spending records for the tour show £14,000 was charged for an event in Gateshead on October 12. It is thought the security firm provided about ten close- protection officers for each event.
The EFDD group, which funded the tour, last night confirmed the £58,000 security bill was charged to the taxpayer through its allowances. A spokesman for the group, which is made up of Ukip MEPs and Eurosceptics from other countries, said: ‘All spending on the speaking tour in late 2015 came out of the delegation budget in conformity to the rules. Everything is completely above board and was done before the regulated referendum period.’
Guy Verhofstadt exposes Nigel Farage as a gravy train rider
Mr Farage, who has repeatedly criticised wasteful EU spending, racked up a security bill of £58,000 for just five events held in modest venues such as a darts arena in Essex where there was not a single demonstrator
He added: ‘Incidents have demonstrated that as a high-profile figure, Nigel Farage needs professional security cover.’
But Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said last night: ‘Once again Ukip have been found taking the British taxpayer for a ride. Nigel Farage complains about EU funding but he’s got no qualms about using it for his own ends.’
Tory MP Damian Collins said: ‘For Nigel Farage to complain about EU waste while billing European taxpayers for the costs of his tour is the height of hypocrisy. It is very clear that the people of Britain cannot trust Farage and his crew with what is best for our country.’
In a book published last year, Mr Farage wrote about hiring James Woolfenden, the owner of Secura Associates, who he described as a ‘former British Army man’.
Mr Farage said the appointment was ‘unavoidable’ after he was forced to retreat to a pub in Edinburgh in 2013 when confronted by dozens of protesters.
The Secura Associates website describes the company as ‘a global team of dedicated security industry professionals, offering a complete range of security, surveillance and investigational services to a diverse portfolio of clients’.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage has denied using British taxpayers’ cash to pay for bodyguards.
Mr Farage was speaking after the Daily Mail reported Ukip used EU money to fund £58,000 worth of security at five events last autumn.
The Ukip leader insisted the money was not for his personal protection, but to pay for security at party meetings.
Nigel Farage is the leader of Ukip
Asked if it was a good use of public funds, Mr Farage said: “It’s not public money, I get zero public money from this country. The fact that the Germans help subsidise our public meetings in this country through their EU contributions – justified entirely.”
Mr Farage, who complains that British taxpayers send £350 million to Brussels each week, said he gets no help from the UK Government for his protection.
“I am the only party leader, or senior political figure, who gets no help, zero help, from the British Government, even after my family was attacked last year, I get no help at all.
“So, we have to fund the whole thing privately, which for a party the size of ours is very difficult indeed,” Mr Farage said.
The Ukip leader insisted the costs involved related to “big public events” held by the party.
“That’s less about me and more about the crowds that come, and making sure they are checked, and searched, and that good people who come along to attend political meetings can do so feeling safe.
“Do any of our other MEP’s hold public meetings around the country where anyone can come? No,” Mr Farage said.
One of the events where security costs were claimed for was held in a darts arena in Essex where there were no protesters , and duties for personnel included “ensuring refreshments have been arranged”, according to the Daily Mail.
The Ukip leader’s remarks came he unveiled a new election poster outside EU offices in London ahead of this week’s elections in the capital.
“Breakthrough Thursday – that’s what we are after. At the moment we have no representation in London, Cardiff, Belfast, or Edinburgh, and I am absolutely confident that we will breakthrough into London, Wales, Northern Ireland – and Scotland, there’s a real chance too.
“According to the opinion polls we are pretty much the highest we have ever been in the history of the party,” Mr Farage said.
The money came from £2.5 million allocated by the EU to the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) grouping in the European Parliament of which Ukip is a member.
The Daily Mail reported that a European Parliament official said it was up to the group how it spent the money given to it by EU taxpayers.
The EFDD funded Mr Farage’s speaking tour, including the security costs.
A spokesman for the group told the newspaper: “All spending on the speaking tour in late 2015 came out of the delegation budget in conformity to the rules. Everything is completely above board and was done before the regulated referendum period.”
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said the spending showed Ukip had taken the British taxpayer “for a ride”.

Nigel Farage insisted the money was not spent on his own personal protectionThe Ukip leader highlighted attacks on his family as he hit back in a row over whether he used up to £15,000 a day in EU funding to pay for bodyguards.The MEP, who battles against wasteful Brussels spending, has been branded a “hypocrite” after a Daily Mail report claimed Ukip used £58,000 of EU funds to pay for a team of ex-military personnel to follow him around the country at a series of events.But Mr Farage today insisted the money was not spent on his own personal protection but to pay for general public security at events on the ‘Say No to EU’ tour, which took place over the final four months of last year.The Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group, which sits in the European Parliament and is chaired by Mr Farage, have confirmed they paid for the tour through their £2.5 million-a-year EU funding.Appearing on the BBC’s Daily Politics programme this afternoon, Mr Farage dismissed the ”ridiculous story” as he insisted his personal bodyguards are funded through private money.He said: “I’m the only political leader or, I guess, politician of prominence in the UK who gets zero help from the taxpayer, zero help from the authorities in this country.
“We have asked, particularly after last April when my family were attacked on a Sunday lunchtime which was pretty nasty.”
He added: “I don’t get any help in any way at all.”
I’ve spent 17-and-a-half years using EU funds to try and fight the EU and I shall go on doing so as long as we’re in the EU.
Nigel Farage
The Ukip leader claimed without his personal security team he “wouldn’t be here” as “the hard-Left have been so vicious and so nasty”.Two sepearate Ukip sources later told Express.co.uk knives had been found by security at previous party events, including at one event as recently as last month.Describing the number of political events he attends each day, Mr Farage said: “I have to have people to drive me and look after me, that’s reasonable. We fund all of that through private donations.
“I’ve never used a penny of my European allowances, which I get to employ staff, to do security.”
Mr Farage denied the money was spent on his own bodyguards but on “expensive” general security at “big public events that we were holding in this country”.
Hitting back at claims of hypocrisy, he added: “I’ve spent 17-and-a-half years using EU funds to try and fight the EU and I shall go on doing so as long as we’re in the EU.
“But hopefully we’ll vote for Brexit, I’ll be redundant, there’ll be no need.
“I’m the turkey that will happily vote for Christmas.”

An EFDD spokesman said: “All spending on the speaking tour in late 2015 came out of the delegation budget in conformity to the rules.
“Everything is completely above board and was done before the regulated referendum period.”
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said the spending showed Ukip had taken the British taxpayer “for a ride”.
The exposing of Nigel Farage, his implausible and contradictory denial & his bigging himself up following one immediately after the other reads like a script for the step caller in a Hokey Cokey!
One is forced to wonder if this is a ruse by his fan club to make him seem important – just who would see him as sufficiently relevant to assault, in serious terms, let alone his claims of potential assasination. Lets face it after 23 years of espousing anti EU membership he and his cult following have failed to come up with any type of responsible, workable & costed EU withdrawall and survival strategy for these United Kingdoms – so implausible is his position that he is replicating all of the mistakes made by the BreXiteers of 1975’s Referendum and he holds no role of substance in the EU Referendum Campaign beyond that which his chum Aaron Banks has bought for him with the help of the sleaze publisher of The Express acting as his praise singer in corruption of the basic tennets of honest journalism!

IN MEMORIAM: Mark Fitzgeorge-Parker aka Mark Daniel Born 1942 Died 03-May-2014 Mark sadly died in Cheltenham of pneumonia aged 72
.
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Mark Fitzgeorge-Parker who used the nom de plume Mark Daniel was born 1942
he sadly died early in the morning on Saturday 03-May-2014, in Cheltenham of pneumonia, aged 72.
I was saddened to hear of the untimely death of Mark who I first met in 2005 when he phoned me up and asked if I would permit him to buy me lunch in Chepstow as he was researching a book on UKIP for Roger Knapman:
who was at that time the leader of UKIP.
Subsequently we spoke in detail, often several times a week and asked to be on my mailing list, whilst he researched his book.
Mark was an interesting and well informed character and I soon learned from him of his Ampleforth & Cambridge education and the background and details of his earlier life and career. He made no effort to disguise any part of his colourful life, be that prison for passing dud cheques or being sued by his Father!
In 2005, shortly before the election, he published his book ‘Cranks & Gadflies, The Story of UKIP’, which is still the best and most accurate history and exposee of UKIP to that date. I well recall at the time Roger proclaimed his support for the book however I well remember Nigel Farage’s reticence to promote the book as he felt it was a little too accurate and comprehensive, perhaps as comment6ators said ‘warts and all’. Sadly no better nor more accurate book has been written about UKIP.
It is notable that despite Nigel’s reticence the book soon sold out and was very readable such that Mark was subsequently commissioned by Nigel Farage to write the two books about him, Mark was sufficiently competent a writer to write to a brief and be able to put a slant on a book to flatter and promote his client!
The quote which was added was a comment made by Nigel farage’s long term associate the anti Islamic extremist and liar who inclines to incite racial hatred, Gerard Batten a UKIP MEP.
Mark’s second book promoting Farage was ‘Flying Free’ published in 2011.
In keeping with Mark’s willingness to publish warts and all when unrestrained the following review of his book on UKIP tells much of his history and personality:
‘A party of idiots, paranoiacs, whores and vagabonds’
Alexander Waugh reviews Cranks and Gadflies: the Story of UKIP by Mark Daniel.
19 Jun 2005
Isn’t it odd how people who group together under the banner of a shared opinion always seem to disagree more violently among themselves than with their declared enemies? It has always been the case. Take, for example, the early Christians. According to the ancient record of Celsus, written in about 178 AD: “Christians utterly detest each other, they slander each other constantly with the vilest forms of abuse… Each sect fills the head of its own with deceitful nonsense and makes perfect little pigs of those it wins over to its side.” And so it is with UKIP – the United Kingdom Independence Party – whose founding purpose (to extricate Britain from the European Union) has been subsumed, in the 12 short years since its formation, by such a torrent of plotting, denouncing, suing, counter-suing, shrieking, back-stabbing and cussing that one wonders how many of its members have retained any memory of why they signed up with the party in the first place. At a recent National Executive Council meeting one member became so livid with rage that he suffered a heart attack and died. And what about the time when such an almighty row broke out over who should be UKIP’s leader that the party was rent in twain and, for a while, two defiant UKIPs ran simultaneously out of two separate offices ? In his absorbing history of the party, Mark Daniel appears to relish each scandal as it arises, gleefully relating how UKIP’s founder drained the party’s coffers to defend himself against accusations of slander and how a South East MEP stood for election in 2004 without mentioning that he was facing charges of housing benefit fraud (which remain subjudice and he denies fiercely). Daniel also reveals how the party was infiltrated by the BNP activist, Mark Deavin; how UKIP’s Scottish organiser wrote to the newspapers declaring that the Nazi holocaust was grossly exaggerated; and he describes, with seeming glee, a party membership that is comprised of “idiots, paranoiacs and conspiracy theorists… freelance artists… traders, whores and vagabonds”. From the outset, Daniel declares: “I have never been a party member.” It might easily be assumed from this that he is a disaffected party apparatchik whose sole purpose is to discredit UKIP in such a way that nobody ever votes for it again. But a couple of seconds of Google espionage reveals that Mark Daniel is in fact a nom de plume for Mark Fitzgeorge-Parker – who stood as a UKIP candidate in Exeter at this year’s General Election, ending in sixth place with 3.37 per cent of the vote. A further scrimmage into the Fitzgeorge-Parker mystery reveals that the author enjoys something of a maverick past himself. Having been imprisoned as a young man for issuing duff cheques and pilfering precious books from Cambridge University libraries he used the Daniel pseudonym for a fictionalised account of his jail experiences. After his release, he found himself once again up in court on charges of libel and, in a parallel action, was sued by his own father for breach of copyright. Perhaps none of this would be relevant had Daniel not chosen to call his book Cranks and Gadflies, a phrase drawn directly from Michael Howard’s intended slur on the UKIP membership, or if Nigel Farage, UKIP’s second-in-command, had not stood before the European Parliament denouncing individual members of José Barrosa’s Commission as ex-crooks, ex-communists and liars. Daniel’s purpose in this warts-and-all exposé is not then, as far as I can tell, to discredit UKIP but, on the contrary, to make it seem like a quaintly attractive collective of “real people”. “Don’t mind me, I’m mad,” folks used to say to endear themselves to their school friends. That ploy didn’t work then and is unlikely to work for UKIP now. And if Daniel’s high-risk public relations experiment backfires it will cost the cranks and gadflies dearly.

A close friend of Mark’s, Hannah Wright, said:
“He was just so intelligent and had a vast knowledge. He was a person that people would turn to for help and he would do anything for anyone.
“He had a great interaction with people and he was a real showman. But he was a complicated man and had a private side and could be reclusive at times.
“He was very kind and generous, but he could also be a difficult man, cantankerous and rude at times, but people were never offended.
“He was very good at reading people and was a truly gifted man.
“As one neighbour put it, he was often outrageous, but generally right”.
“He was passionate about so many things in Cheltenham – with one of them being that the town’s Jazz Festival was too quiet and should be louder.
“He had a massive impact on people’s lives and will be missed.”
I must say I found Mark to have all of these attributes and characteristics and thoroughly enjoyed my conversations with him and was flattered by the amount he used my then frequent eMails and my blogging as a source for his research, as of course did both media and UKIP leadership alike.
Mark in his younger days had been a keen fisherman and surfer and had inheristed his fathert’s love or art and also his father’s interest in horses, having been competitive steeplechased.
Tim Fitzgeorge-Parker was well known as a character and author particularly in the horse racing world.
Mark having lived in Italy, Ireland and France was fluent in both French and Italian and during my dealings with him was taking trips on costal cruisers in Norway and other Scandinavian ports as part of his work whilst living in Exeter as a regular columnist for The Western Morning News. Not only had he written 1,000s of columns for a variety of media but had published some 41 books.
In 2011 Mark moved to Cheltenham to live closer to his 20 year old son Kit.
Having moved to Montpellier in Cheltenham he threw himself, with his notable enthusiasm and commitment to people into life in Cheltenham and last year stood in the Gloucester County Council election for Lansdown and Park and this year was standing for a seat on Cheltenham Borough Council in Charlton Park ward. He had also stood for UKIP in the past when in Exeter.
An impressive intellect and sound knowlege in many fields will make the death of Mark a loss to many – the world is less colourful for his departure.
My condolences to his family and those whose lives he had touched.
I Understand Ukip’s MEP Tim (Timur) Aker Has Been Questioned! There is more to this than meets the eye, it seems one of his ex-girlfriends has been named & photo used in allegations that a political rival has used for gain – in breech of article 106 of Representation of the Peoples Act!
Norfolk Police were contacted on April 26 with a report of a sexual assault which took place in Essex. Essex Police are investigating this allegation and an allegation of malicious communications relating to letters being sent to a number of individuals. A 30-year-old man from Grays has been voluntarily interviewed and police enquiries are continuing.
I regret I can not now publish a copy of the letter that was circulated, even suitably redacted, norany further details to which I may become privy, however I understand a copy of this statement has now been circulated to other journalists and the story will most likely be published in various national papers and in the local Thurrock newspaper.

Police investigate sexual assault allegation against Ukip MEP

The Ukip MEP Tim Aker has been voluntarily interviewed by police in relation to an allegation of sexual assault made against him.
Aker, 30, has been MEP for East of England since 2014 and was previously head of Ukip’s policy unit. He is said to be close to Ukip’s leader, Nigel Farage.
The allegation has been made by a former Ukip activist. The sexual assault allegedly took place in September last year after a Ukip event in Essex.
It is understood that the woman, who is in her 20s, did not immediately report the alleged assault. In December she made a formal complaint to Ukip’s national executive committee (NEC).
On 26 April the woman contacted the police about the alleged assault and officers conducted a video interview with her.
A spokeswoman for Essex police said: “Police were contacted on 26 April with a report of a sexual assault which took place in Essex. Essex police are investigating this allegation. A 30-year-old man from Grays has been voluntarily interviewed and police enquiries are continuing.”
Steve Crowther, chairman of Ukip, said: “I can confirm that the party looked into allegations that were put to us; but it would be inappropriate for us to comment further on something which is subject to a police investigation, until that investigation is complete.”
In an unrelated inquiry, Essex police are investigating allegations of a “malicious communications” campaign targeting Aker, which has been circulated to dozens of politicians and members of the public.
The Essex police spokeswoman confirmed that an allegation of malicious communications relating to letters being sent to a number of individuals, was under investigation by police.
In his statement, Crowther said he was aware “the police are investigating an allegation of malicious communication targeting Tim Aker” and it would be inappropriate to comment further.

“A 30-year-old man from Grays has been voluntarily interviewed and police inquiries are continuing.”
Essex Police has also confirmed it has launched a separate investigation into a leaflet which was circulated at the end of last week, relating to Mr Aker.
A force spokesman said: “Essex Police is investigating an allegation of malicious communications relating to letters being sent to a number of individuals.
“Police were contacted on Thursday, April 28 with details of the incident.
“Enquiries are continuing. Anyone who receives a letter they believe to be malicious should report it to police on 101”.

UKIP MEP Tim Aker voluntarily speaks to police over allegations of sexual assault
Posted at 17:20
UKIP MEP and Thurrock councillor Tim Aker has voluntarily spoken to police over allegations of sexual assault.
BBC
Essex Police say they have “spoken to the person” reporting “an allegation and inquiries are continuing”.
Last week anonymous letters were sent round to Thurrock councillors and members of the public making claims against Tim Aker. Sources close to Mr Aker described these letters as making “outrageous claims”.
Essex Police have confirmed that they are also investigating “an allegation of malicious communications relating to letters being sent to a number ofindividuals”.
Steve Crowther, UKIP Chairman, said in a statement: “I can confirm that the party looked into allegations that were put to us; but it would be inappropriate for us to comment further on something which is subject to a police investigation, until that investigation is complete.”
#Ukip, Tim Aker, And The ‘Sexual Assault’ Story – Some Background …
[Caveat: I’m reporting here on what I’ve read in other media, and what I know. Anything else is reported as ‘allegations’, as the politician who is the subject of this article is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. The problem is, the previous allegation was never investigated properly so, as it stands, it’ll never get to court, never get beyond rumour.Discussions have been ongoing in various forums about whether this information should be put in the Public Domain – not as reporting the current allegation, but as an allegation of a previous incident.
I believe it should. If this gets an allegation of a serious sexual crime actually investigated properly, it’s wholly justified.]
As a veteran campaigner against Racism, Fascism and in particular, Ukip, there’s a story I’ve been aware of for a while. A long while.
About a senior Ukip Official, allegations of a very serious sex crime, and a suspected Ukip cover-up.
Timothy Aker, Ukip MEP with questions to answer.
It’s a story I’ve heard from so many different sources that I’ve been convinced for a long time that it was completely true, but I could never get enough on it to interest the mainstream media.
I also had well-based concerns, along with others, for the welfare of the young female allegedly involved … and so I felt that the issue couldn’t be forced at the time.
Now, a story has broken, covered not just in local Essex newspapers here andhere but in The Guardian. I expect – and hope – that other media outlets will pick up the story and run it.
The Guardian story.
It’s based on the same sources as this detailed blog piece by Greg Lance-Watkins, here, which covers the case in depth, with Facebook posts of comments by the alleged victim.
Trigger warning for the above links – content may be upsetting.]
This is, I think, is in response both to the alleged victim filing a report about the incident, and also in reaction to a ‘malicious letter’ detailing these allegations, sent out to various organisations in the local Thurrock area.
Who sent the letter? I don’t know. (It wasn’t me, by the way).
What I can confirm is my suspicion over the reason why it was sent: Because despite a previous allegation against this person, no serious investigation into said allegation has ever been initiated. I’ve wondered about that. A lot. I suspect the letter was designed to force the issue. (That’s my theory…)
But here’s the thing: The story being reported by the media is actually not the story I, and others, had. It’s a different event, in a different place, involving adifferent female. There is here, quite clearly, a whole can of worms about to be opened.
I firmly believe the first alleged incident has not come to light due to a combination of [quote] “fear tactics and intimidation” [unquote] of the victim, but of course I can’t prove it. It’s only hearsay.
So – what will Ukip’s reaction be? I can take a good guess.
“It’s a well-timed smear campaign with no basis of truth …” Timing was merely due to the fact that the alleged victim took until 26th April to report it. Ukip will no doubt claim that her timing was suspicious but I’m pretty sure, as far as I know, no rival political party had any hand in this timing.
“The ‘Malicious Letter’ was issued by someone from [insert any Political Party here] …” Maybe it was. I don’t actually know. I suspect it was designed to force a police investigation into an allegation of a serious sexual crime – surely something Ukip would welcome? That fact doesn’t detract from the contents of the letter.
“The female involved is a [insert insult] with a history of [insert spurious unfounded allegation] …” I strongly expect this will happen. Ukip will go all guns blazing on the alleged victim with everything they have. The Ukip officials I suspect are on the case have been very quiet today. I think they’re busy, right now, on this. Character assassination is a weapon that Ukip have used before.
“It’s now a matter for the police so we can’t comment …” Well, it is now. But I note that Ukip have failed to take any action on this allegation during all the time we’re convinced they were fully aware of it.
For legal reasons, I can’t go into the details of the previous allegation as I understand that the victim herself in that alleged incident has not make a formal complaint. But what I can tell you is that the County Force in that incident – Lincolnshire Police – were made fully aware of the alleged incident (by a third party, known to me) last year.
They were also made aware of the girl’s age, as well as of other names within Ukip who were allegedly involved, not only in the alleged incident, but in the subsequent cover-up.
I trust now that Lincolnshire Police will properly investigate the previous allegation, and that several individuals (within Ukip) may choose now to either wait for the knock on the door – or reveal what they know.
While they can.
The real story here is much, much bigger: The suspected Ukip cover-up.
I have been advised on very good authority from several sources that certain officials within Ukip, senior to Tim Aker, were fully aware of the incident(s) and, at the very least, chose to take no action.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the seriousness of this matter. ‘Sexual Assault’ is a wide cover-all phrase which both the Police and the Media have to use at this time. This is not some mere allegation of ‘drunken groping’ or ‘wandering hands’ – as the alleged victim’s facebook post imply here[Trigger warning – victims words may be upsetting.]
I strongly believe that when further details of the story come to light, it will become clear that what is being alleged here – is rape.
Discussions have been ongoing in various forums about whether this information should be put in the Public Domain, not as reporting the current allegation, but as an allegation of a previous incident.
I believe it should. From what I have seen personally there is more than enough information on the original incident in Lincolnshire to justify an investigation – but none has taken place.
I expect flak. I expect threats. But I also expect Police to do their jobs and not dismiss these allegations as unfounded without investigating them thoroughly.
I have also been aware of the details John O’Connell has written of, but like him I was aware that there was insufficient evidence for me to present to the police – hence even now I am asking for any evidence that I can pass on to the police, minded that some who have information may be too scared of bullying by Ukip or damage to their own ambitions & well being to put their name to such evidence – maybe related to colleagues or friends!
I have been informed that others were aware to the extent of being involved, but lack hard evidence thereof.
However I would caution that Ukip internal enquiries are all too often just internal whitewash, designed to provide the answers which suit Ukip and Nigel Farage specifically – we need only consider the utterly dishonest outcomes of Ukip Kangarroo Courts such as that which were used to smear the names of Dr. David Abbott, Dr. Eric Edmond, Peter Baker, John West and others.

Police search home of Ukip MEP Tim Aker after sex assault claim
Interview: Tim Aker spoke to detectives Glenn Copus
The home of Ukip MEP Tim Aker has been searched by police investigating allegations of sexual assault, the Standard can reveal.
Officers searched the house in Grays, Essex, with Mr Aker’s consent, after a former Ukip activist contacted police alleging that the East of England MEP had attacked her.
Mr Aker, 30, who has been an MEP since 2014 and was previously head of Ukip’s policy unit, voluntarily attended a police interview over the claim. The alleged attack is said to have taken place last September after a Ukip event attended by party leader Nigel Farage.
The woman first complained to party chairman Steve Crowther in December and it is understood last month she decided to make a police report after being disappointed with the outcome of the Ukip national executive committee’s review of her complaint.
Officers conducted a video interview with her on April 26 and three days later searched Mr Aker’s home in his presence. Essex police are also investigating an allegation of malicious communications after the alleged victim reported that letters about her and Mr Aker had been sent anonymously to politicians and members of the public. Mr Aker is also understood to have complained to police about the letters.
An Essex police spokeswoman said: “Norfolk police were contacted on April 26 with a report of a sexual assault which took place in Essex… Police inquiries are continuing.”
A spokesman for Ukip said Mr Aker denied the sexual assault allegation against him.

Hi,
it is astonishing how lax the media are when it comes to sexual assault of women by those in some form of elected authority.
Yet in otherr instances they are all over the alleged miscreant like a cheap suit!
You may well have noted that when the notoriously dishonest and corrupt thief Annabelle Fuller having been caught leaving an MP’s flat having stolen his Blackberry phone, some cofidential letters and his House of Commons pass, and having admitted to her criminality after a day drinking and having, according to an MEP who was present in the pub, targeted the MP specifically she made false accusations that the MP had tried to ‘fondle’ her – this story by Annabelle Fuller, who has now changed her name to avoid identification with her past, was plastered all over the national media.
The publicity given of the true victim in that case, who was Andrew Bridgen, contributed to his being divorced and estranged from his own children – yet in the case of the Ukip MEP Tim Aker – also a fairly obscure politician the matter seems to have been hushed up or at best ignored by the media!
Why was Andrew Bridgen pilloried by the media based on a false allegation made by an untrustworthy thief yet when one of the young Ukip volunteers reports an actual rape and an anal rape at that near silence!
It makes one wonder what other crimes are being hushed up in the light of the various allegations being talked of regarding Tim Aker and was his so called foundation a charity with more similarity to those of Jimmy Saville than any legitimate charity!

Hi REDACTED
see attached.
REDACTED
You will note the material below is a series of screen captures from Facebook from amongst those which I have!
Keep checking back on this page as there is much more to come which I have read and checked and hold copies of – including the full signed statement supplied to the police, including an allegation of anal rape + copies of eMails from senior Ukip leadership desperately trying to achieve a cover-up.
containing this extract, which I have always understood to be an allegation of RAPE:
” …. so I gave in to his wanting to have sex, partly out of fear he would be violent again if I refused. During sex he suddenly initiated anal sex without my consent. I told him to stop repeatedly and tried to push him off me, but he held me by my wrists and I could not move my legs due to his weight. The more I struggled the more he seemed to be enjoying himself, so I just gave up and waited until it was over, still begging him to stop and telling him he was hurting me. Once he had finished, he just got up and went to the bathroom. When he returned, he went straight to sleep next to me. I was shocked and traumatised and didn’t know what to do. I barely slept at all that night”.
Clearly it is the duty of the leadership of Ukip to uphold the law not to suppress the truth for their own gain! They should clearly have supported the young woman and encouraged her to report such a serious and violent crime as rape!
I also will supply the names of the Police involved and their names and numbers – also details of a breech of para 106 of the representation of the people act – an attempt by a political rival to gain advantage over a Ukip candidate seeking election who already holds an elected office by publishing the name of his alleged rape victim without the victim’s consent, also using a picture of her without her express permision!
I understand the details have been sent relatively widely) by 2nd class Royal Mail and also distributed by other means, but although I am informed it was distributed for electoral gain I can not as yet verify this by providing a copy of the leaflet, though I know for certain the media are aware of the publication.
The details are already in the hands of responsible foreign media who intend to publish the full story, at their convenience.
I am informed by the media that Ukip’s offices in Grays, strangely in the run up to an election, have been closed for the last few days – possibly since they suspected I had all of this material and an official complaint had been made to the police!
I will also publish the official crime report number when the time is apposite!
Do check back on a regular basis as the entire sad sick story is revealed – both here and in the media!

Greg_L-W.

The Curious Case Of #Ukip’s Rosie Ward
As with many of UKIP’s ‘bright young things’, Rosaline ‘Rosie’ Ward’s rise up the UKIP ranks is a tale of back stabbings and cover-ups. It’s the way, in Ukip.
First picked up at a UKIP ‘luncheon’ by outed anti-Semite Stuart Guppy, she was quickly passed around to UKIP Councillor Harry Blakeley, who in turn groomed her for a meteoric climb up UKIP’s greasy pole – which concluded in a rather cushy job in the European Parliament, from all reports doing very little.
Cornwall Councillor Harry Blakeley promotes Rosie Ward’s rise. [Click for email detail].ption
“Blakeley was 69 at the time and a married County Councillor,” explains a former branch officer who has since quit the party.
“He was often seen driving around with her and soon engineered her appointment as Branch Chairman. He also touted her to Nigel personally and attempted to have her employed as YI (UKIP’s youth movement) Press Manager.”
“The fact she was [at 16] younger than his grandchildren didn’t seem to bother him; but a lot of us felt quite uneasy about their relationship. Our parliamentary candidate once commented that he thought Blakeley was ‘infatuated’ with her.”
Indeed, whenever his young protégé was criticised, Blakeley would attack with ferocity, ‘denouncing’ members and the public alike. For the aging Cornwall Councillor, Ward could do no wrong.
So when local patrons found evidence of BNP affiliated articles, authored under her name on Nick Griffin ally, Jack Buckby’s Culturalist website, Blakeley lied to members to get her off the hook.
Steve Crowther, UKIP National Chairman, also weighed in by officially telling concerned staff that he had “concluded that for a 16-year-old it was a mistake which should be acknowledged but should not terminate her political involvement.”
Clearly many in UKIP were prepared to look the other way and continue to promote the young woman in the public eye.

As always Councillor Blakeley was there to save the day and her mandate was reaffirmed.
UKIP soon entered the planning stage for the 2015 general election, and with Camborne & Redruth listed as their third highest target seat UKIP Chairman Steve Crowther was confident that an 18-year-old with no experience was fit to lead the campaign.
Rosie Ward wrote for BNP insider Jack Buckby here with Nick Griffin
“Ward should have never been given that level of responsibility at her age,” comments a former UKIP colleague.
“Putting someone so young into a public position under scrutiny like that, especially when it is UKIP is very irresponsible; but Blakeley refused to entertain any suggestions otherwise. He had his own agenda to keep promoting her and that is exactly what he did.”
“Pointing out that she was making repeated gaffes and ruining her own reputation was seen by Blakeley as ‘unfair criticism’. He even started ghost writing offensive internal letters and asking her to send them out under her name. He should be ashamed of himself.”
Issues came to a head when Camborne & Redruth’s candidate was arrested and charged for animal cruelty. Ward took the wise decision to use this incident to resign from her role. The new candidate, Bob Smith, banned the young ‘kipper’ from any activity in the campaign due to her BNP affiliations; including a keynote speech she was due to give at the YI Conference; much to the chagrin of her replacement … the ever present Councillor Blakeley.
According to comments from a former Camborne and Redruth branch Chairman posted on an internet blog, Ward was told to leak information about the election campaign; including sensitive information about party leader Nigel Farage. This, once again at the behest of Harry Blakeley.
(Ward has since worked hard to remove all references to her BNP work, but caches and links remain active)
“UKIP member and right wing individual” Ward joins a BNP affiliated site
However, for reasons unknown, UKIP’s European level staff, including MEPs, decided to ignore the evidence – and BNP affiliation – and offer the YI member a three month paid intern contract.
What Ward’s duties amounted to at the European Parliament have never been specified, but we’re told that she was “taken under the wing” of senior UKIP advisor, Anthony Brown; who immediately began posting her articles on his personal website.
“Nobody really knew why she was there or what she was doing,” remarks a former colleague. “Apart from taking several coffee breaks a day there didn’t seem to be much output. The main thing I recall was her posting nonsense on social media, and that her housing situation was compromised for much of her stay and she did the rounds asking colleagues for a thousand Euros to pay her deposit.”
Rosie Ward, now 19, has since quit social media and we are told no longer has involvement with the party – although she has been heavily featured in posts by the Leave.EU Campaign.
Ward featured in a ‘Students For Britain’ ‘Brexit’ post.
While her age is a factor, remember UKIP Councillors and even their National Chairman were happy to put this young woman in a high profile public role and use her for their own ends.
Perhaps her involvement with the BNP can be seen as naivete, but it proves once again that UKIP are happy to overlook such affiliations – so long as it helps their cause.
This post is less about Rosie Ward and more about how Ukip, a party dominated by middle-aged males, jumped at the chance of a photogenic token female future candidate, regardless of skills or knowledge. So much so that her BNP history was casually, effortlessly air-brushed away as a minor inconvenience.
We understand that although Ward has been ‘off radar a bit’ recently, this is more due to her studies than any other factor.
We expect her to resurface at some time, branded, polished and with a whitewashed history.
Further to the article at CLICK HERE you could hardly invent the utter incompetence of Ukip in terms of their selection processes which we know and have proved over the years to be a disgrace to British politics with no right to befoul our democracy, in view of their serial corruption.
Now we have further to add to their shame in that Kevan Konnor Collins was selected and elected as a councillor in one of their highest profile target seats Thanet, where Nigel Farage and his cult had assured everyone possible they expected Nigel Farage to be elected as an MP.
Fortunately for Thanet, Farage failed yet again to be elected.
Welcome to our new page and our fresh walter mitty of 2016 Bugger luggs Kevan Konnor Collins, a councillor in Thanet who apparently served in the Paras as an RSM and claims to have received the CGC, the MC and the DSC, as well as an MBE.
Se we did out thing and Konnor Kevan Collins has no CGC, MC or even the DSM – He could not be found on the list of RSMs in the Paras at RHQ and having google extensively the London Gazette could not find evidence of him receiving the CGC.
Here are all the CGC recipients just in case our man had changed name or identity. All but 8 names have been identified.
We contacted four other ex Parachute regiment officers and through all four battalions 1, 2, 3 and 4 and yet none have ever heard of this guy. Which is very strange as claimed to have been awarded “councillor Kevan Konnor Collins MBE, CGC, MC, DSC
Even claiming on a legal claim form
My goodness!! Is very own councillor Kevan Konnor Collins MBE, CGC, MC, DSC the most decorated living veteran in the whole country?
We checked the historical data base at the Parachute training school and of P Coy………..guess what, Yep WHAT A CUMPER! Bets his ears are burning now and what fire it must be!
After a few months of keeping his head down he got a friend to post an apology on his behalf. He stipulated we would need to remove our post exposing him and all reference to his walting. Obviously we refused due to the fact he had since Jan to do it. Since then we heard his loyal supporters wereclaiming it’s fake and not from him, despite Collins friend providing the correct answer to a validation question that only Collins would have known.
Here is the apology
“Dear Walter Mitty hunters Club. As of yesterday I instructed a trusted friend to post this on my behalf due to ill health. You recently published a page alleging that I fabricated service in the Parachute Regiment and that I had inappropriately displayed medals which were not awarded to me. This became a story in the national press to which I am very ashamed and I would like you to post a sincere apology.
I can confirm I have never been a member of the Parachute Regiment. A Regimental Sergeant Major or that I was never awarded any of the medals that I had claimed as my own on several occasions, both in private and social functions in my civic duty’s . I cannot explain why I did it other then I am a fool that let things get carried away.
I am very unwell and I would like the matter to be drawn to a close so I can recover in peace. I have withdrawn from public duties and wish to be left alone.”
