not only does Ukip have a near industrial propensity for stupidity, but now with no credible leader it seems not only Party leadership candidates get in fist fights and their MEPs are repeatedly under investigation for fraud one , Tim Aker, has been under investigation for the rape and sexual assault of numerous young women (some very young!) see:
I Understand Ukip’s MEP Tim (Timur) Aker Has Been Questioned! The full story so far + UPDATES can be found if you CLICK HERE .
Ukip’s endless involvement in racism, such as that of Gerard Batten, which manifests in his constant extreme anti Islamic behaviour, which I feel sure is based on his own Bronze Age superstitions and influenced by his Filipino wife who would have been raise under the aegis of Cardinal Sin the leader of the Catholic Church in the Philipines where there has always been conflict between the two superstitions.
The endless outbursts from so many Ukip members, candidates and members of their leadership from their onetime leader Malcolm Pearson’s outrageos anti Muslim ranting, as covered with accuracy in a double page spread in the News of The World, to the party links with the BNP, Lega Nord, EDL and other extreme groups has did little to help the party’s long term survival or even credibility in the BreXit Campaign, which they did so much to put at risk.
The overt racism of members was such that it even gave credibility to the utterly spurious claims of Nazi style behaviour by Alex Wood in both the Mirror and the Daily Mail which I covered at CLICK HERE & also HERE together with a copy of The Mirror’s apology for their poorly reasearched and false allegations against him.
However to have Gerard Batten endlessly carrying on with his knee jerk reaction is far from helpfull and you will note that due to lack of leadership ability Paul Nuttall seems not to have a clue what to say – all rather similar to the days when Geoffrey Titford as nominal leader failed to act for a considerable time over the fact that his office was being used to produce anti Islamic tracts and publicity, including a pamphlet accusing Mohammed of being a paedophile, completely out of the context of history!
It is of course true that most of the various Bronze Age Gods that were invented have a lunatic fringe of extremism, Muslims do not bear the exclusive blame for such behaviour – consider the huge number of killings in the name of so called christianity, as with the Inquisition, Jones Cult, Waco, German death camps which were all founded on religious superstitions!
Ukip MEP’s ‘death cult’ remarks spark new Islamophobia row

Ukip is facing renewed criticism over its attitudes towards Islam after it emerged that one of its senior MEPs said non-Muslims should have a “perfectly rational fear” of the faith, which he described as a “death cult” steeped in violence.
The Liberal Democrats and Greens described the comments, written in a blogpost by Ukip’s Brexit spokesman, Gerard Batten, as “hateful” and “the gutter of British politics”.
Asked twice about the issue at the launch of Ukip’s election campaign on Friday, the party’s leader, Paul Nuttall, declined to say whether he agreed with Batten’s views.
Ukip’s stance towards Islam has been in focus since Monday, when the party announced what it terms an “integration agenda”, including a ban on full-face veils and compulsory medical checks for girls seen as at risk of female genital mutilation.

Later in the week the party adopted as a candidate an activist from the anti-Islam Pegida movement, who has praised the far-right leaders Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders and described Islam as “evil”.
Speaking at Friday’s campaign launch, Nuttall said the candidacy of Anne Marie Waters would be considered by Ukip’s national executive committee. But he did not answer questions about the views of Batten, an MEP since 2004.
In the post on his personal blog written after last month’s terrorist attack in Westminster, Batten said Islam should be referred to as “Mohammedanism – the cult of Mohammed – because that is what it is”.
He continued: “It is a death cult, born and steeped in 1,400 years of violence and bloodshed, that propagates itself by intimidation, violence and conquest.”
Batten wrote: “The terrorists are the vanguard of Mohammedanism. They set out to cow the non-Mohammedan population, so that the ‘moderate Muslims’ can get on establishing sharia courts, forcing halal food in school and works canteens, and making the authorities look the other way regarding criminal activities for fear of being called racist and Islamophobic.”
Saying that a phobia was a fear without a rational base, Batten said: “A normal non-Mohammedan should have a perfectly rational fear of ‘Islam’.”

The Liberal Democrat MP Tom Brake said: “[Nuttall] must stop turning a blind eye to this blatant Islamophobic language and make clear it will not be tolerated.
“Ukip’s lurch towards Islamophobia is a desperate attempt to stay relevant after Theresa May has taken over their hard Brexit agenda. This kind of hateful language has no place in a UK political party.”
Caroline Lucas, the Greens’ co-leader, said: “Ukip’s descent into the gutter of British politics is continuing. Their leadership and spokespeople have lurched even further to the right as the Tories do their Brexit work for them.
“The deep prejudice within this hollowed out party is being exposed – and the Green party will continue to challenge this bigotry every time it rears its ugly head.”
Asked about Batten’s comments, Nuttall instead defended his party’s Islam-focused policies, saying these were “somehow perceived as being anti-Muslim”.
He continued: “Actually, it’s all about equality. It’s all about breaking down barriers. It’s all about integrating people into society.”
The start of the event was interrupted by protesters, who shouted that Ukip was racist. Asked later whether this was the case, Nuttall said: “No, they’re not right. It’s disappointing that certain people in politics don’t want to debate. What they want to do is shout people down.”
Batten, who has previously said he has a policy of not talking to the Guardian, was contacted for comment.

Local Government candidate Alex Wood of UKIP cleared by Police of Nazi Salute! Clearly The Mirror was duped and due to shoddy journalism published a story they were unable to verify based on faked evidence – most probably photoshopped by a rival and costing Alex Wood his seat!

Hi,
I am pleased to say that I was not inclined to make ‘much’ of the story oof Alex Wood the UKIP Council candidate when he featured on the front page of the Mirror CLICK HERE in real terms what young lad of his age has not at some time made a fool of himself on the internet and it seemed more like stupidity than hate based racism, which is all too prevalent amongst UKIP’s leadership and their chosen allies!!!
One only needs to study their racist partners in their EFD Group ion the EU which Nigel Farage founded and leads! OR consider the incitement to racial hatred apparent in the vile literature published by Gerard Batten based on his personal fears and superstitions relative to Islam!
That many in UKIP are closely associated with the shameful hatred and behaviour of the EDL puts the antics of Alex Wood in the shade were they true!
Now we find that the police have investigated the claims against Alex Wood and have declared there is no factual basis in the Mirror’s front page article as shown here:
Alex Wood, Ukip ‘Nazi Salute’ Candidate, Cleared Of Posting Racist Comments On Facebook
The Huffington PostUK | By Christopher York Posted: 13/06/2013 13:57 BST | Updated: 13/06/2013 20:18 BSTThe Ukip candidate embroiled in a racism row after allegedly making a Nazi salute and saying Africans live in “mud huts” was the victim of a “smear campaign”.
Police are satisfied that comments originally attributed to Alex Wood, 22, had never appeared on his Facebook account and may have been photoshopped.
Wood always maintained the picture of him appearing to make a Nazi salute was actually him “imitating a pot plant“.
Pot PlantAndrew Bishop from Yeovil Police Station told the Huffington Post UK: “In April we were contacted by Mr Wood reporting that his Facebook account had been hacked and racist comments posted which purported to be from him.
“This was investigated as possible malicious communications. We have now completed our enquiries and concluded that the account was not hacked and the comments did not appear on the account.
“We have updated Mr Wood and he is happy that the matter is now filed.”
Woods has said he will investigate how someone could have created comments that appeared to have come from his account.
He told the Western Gazette: “I’ve investigated the websites and there are many methods someone could use to create comments on a duplicate account.
“It is a slick and professional operation. I will be looking into this to clear my name.
Let us hope that Nigel Farage has the ethical integrity to back Alex Wood in a claim against The Mirror for its shoddy journalism and the false story. I am all too well aware of the damage tyhat can be done by liars, cheats and the corrupt in their efforts to defame – fortunately I have never cared nor have I been dependent on others for my income thus the liars and low lifes in UKIP who have desperately tried to defame me with their cowardly efforts as they shelter behind anonymity have failed.I have been able and willing to continue to publish the facts and the truth about UKIP’s leadership and clarify why it is so clearly unfit for purpose and without strategy, tactics or even an exit and survival strategy as it corruptly acts in self interest.
