a number of us who had been active campaigners for BreXit, indeed some of us had actively campaigned against the First Referendum in the early 1970s and even against any efforts to join the EU, or as it was then aesopianly named ‘The Common Market’, long before that – I for one had been opposed to Britain becoming a member of the so called ‘Common Market’ since the early 1960s.
My opposition to membership pre dated but was much resolved by living in Germany in C1962, though it does not pre date the British Government’s advocacy of 16-Apr-1948 (as I was living in India at the time in Karachi, pre partitition & Switzerland then Bahrain after partition! That I was only 2 when it was published is a minor detail!)) in Cmd.7388 being an official White Paper of The Foreign Office regarding/titled: “Convention for European Economic Co-operation”.
Some may remember the front page of The Times on the day of the Coronation of 1953 and the detailed article regarding the Common Market & Britain’s incolvement and naiscent membership (The day of the Coronation being a #Good day on which to bury bad news’ – similarly the most prescient speech by Enoch Powell on 25-Feb-1970 in the House of Commons during the Union of Europe debate CLICK HERE for the text It was largly after this speech that much effort was made to try to discredit Enoch Powell by dishonestly and selectively misrepresenting his Birmingham Speech of 20-Apr-1968 in an effort to try to portray him as some kind of reactionary racist, which he clearly was not if you read or listen to him delivering the speech CLICK HERE for full text & his contemporary delivery of the speech.
As I said many of us cautioned that the involvement of the overtly racist Ukip as a party and the untrustworthy used car salesman approach of the philandering, corrupt and libertine Nigel Farage, with his morally bankrupt and totally unethical efforts to prevent a Referendum to Leave the EU brought about by the efforts and organisation of The Petition of 225,000 signatures, by Nikki Sinclaire, that forced the debate of an IN/OUT Referendum in the House of Commons. Together with the clearly ‘dodgey’ and financially and morally dubious liar Arron Banks and the untrustworthy clique of low lifes they gatherted around them was unwise in the extreme and would eventually be very damaging to BreXit.
So it has proven with the clear involvement of Cambridge Analytica and Russian money + the dishonest methods of campaigning borrowed (bought) from the Trump campaign strategists such as Steve Bannon and Breitbart!
Leave.EU, Arron Banks and new questions about referendum funding
Revealed: Leave donor faces data investigation as first documentary evidence of Cambridge Analytica Brexit ‘work’ uncovered

The Information Commissioner’s Office is investigating Leave.EU and its donor Arron Banks over possible breaches of the Data Protection Act.
The ICO has issued “information notices” against both Leave.EU – the referendum campaign headed by Nigel Farage – and its director, Banks. The notices – requiring organisations to provide the ICO with specified information within a certain time period – were issued in the same week as the ICO conducted raids last month on Cambridge Analytica’s offices. The notices are both part of Operation Cederburg – the commissioner’s year-long investigation into the use of data in the EU referendum. Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
Banks – who was by far the biggest funder of Brexit, providing £8.4m in donations and loans – confirmed on Friday that both he personally and Leave.EU had received “information notices”. In an email on Friday, Banks said they were “responding to it’” He said the ICO’s action was not an “investigation” but “an information request”.
In a separate development, the Observer has obtained an invoice that Cambridge Analytica issued on 14 December 2015 for £41,500 for work it undertook on behalf of Ukip. The invoice says the payment is for “analysis of Ukip membership and survey data and creative product development”, and it is issued on behalf of Cambridge Analytica LLC, the American entity, from its office in Alexandria, Virginia. This is the first documentary evidence that Cambridge Analytica did conduct analytics work on behalf of one of the Leave campaigns in the period before the referendum.
Banks confirmed to the Observer that he was also sent the invoice at that time too. He said he subsequently made a donation for the amount to cover the invoice to Ukip. A spokesman for Ukip, speaking to the Guardian last month, denied any payment for the work was made but he confirmed Banks had in fact made the donation after “new information had come to light”. He said that the party decided not to pass on the money to Cambridge Analytica.
Banks has long denied that Cambridge Analytica did any work for Leave.EU, as has Cambridge Analytica. The question is still the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Electoral Commission. In a written submission to the select committee for the department for digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) last month, Banks said he had met Alexander Nix of Cambridge Analytica but that he had declined to take him up on his proposal. Cambridge Analytica said on Saturday that it “did some preliminary analysis as part of a proposal to work with Ukip, but no contract was agreed, payment was not made to CA, and the preliminary work was not delivered to Ukip.”
Brittany Kaiser, a former Cambridge Analytica director, who appeared on a panel at Leave.EU’s launch event, came forward to the Guardian last month and raised further questions about these claims. She said the company had completed around £40,000 worth of work for Ukip, using Ukip data, but agreed that the company had not been paid. She is expected to talk about this on Tuesday when she will testify to parliament as part of the DCMS committee into fake news.

A Ukip spokesman told the Observer on Friday: “We got the money from Arron [Banks]. But we never paid it to Cambridge Analytica. We didn’t think it was worth it. It was preparatory work, a pitch.”
He also confirmed that the party had handed over its database of roughly 40,000 supporters to Cambridge Analytica despite denying this to the Guardian last month.
Ukip had told the Guardian previously that Cambridge Analytica “saw” the data but a spokesman admitted the information – including telephone numbers, email addresses, ages, and other personal information among other things – was given to the company on a computer as part of what he described as “preparatory work”.
The spokesman said: “I asked everyone about this work and I was told CA pitched for it, Banks didn’t like it and he’d refused to pay for it. It’s now come out that he did actually make a donation to cover the cost of the work. But we never actually handed it over.”
The revelations raise a whole new set of questions about how the referendum was funded and whether strict rules on spending may have been broken. The Observer has seen evidence which suggests that a form of the Ukip data that Cambridge Analytica analysed and processed was passed to individuals in the Leave.EU campaign. And a donation of £42,000 from Better for the Country, Leave.EU’s registered company name, was recorded as a political donation to the party on the Electoral Commission’s site one week before the referendum on 16 June 2016. It was not registered as part of the campaign by either entity as a referendum donation or expense.
The unfolding of the Cambridge Analytica scandal has coincided with the final stages of the information commissioner’s investigation into the use of data in the referendum. Leave.EU’s operation has become one focus of the year-long investigation. Another resulted in the ICO’s raid on Cambridge Analytica. Damian Collins, the Tory MP for Folkestone, who is the chair of the DCMS committee, has told the Observer that both Britain’s electoral and data laws needed a radical and urgent overhaul. He said it was “ridiculous” that the ICO had to wait five days before being able to get a warrant to seize Cambridge Analytica’s computer servers and equipment.
Separately, the ICO investigation is believed to be trying to understand the relationship between Leave.EU and Eldon Insurance Services, the Bristol-based insurance company that Banks owns and that was the HQ for Leave.EU referendum campaign work. A spokesman said: “Leave.EU and Eldon have never shared any data. And Leave.EU has never shared any data with Cambridge Analytica whether in relation to the EU referendum or otherwise.”
The ICO may be asking questions because of previous comments Banks has made, including in an interview a year ago with the Observer. When asked about the use of Leave.EU’s database to send advertisements about his insurance products to campaign supporters, Banks said: “Why shouldn’t I? It’s my data.” When asked again last week, he said: “Leave.EU after the referendum campaign carried the occasional ad for insurance, so what?”
In an email on Friday he said: “Eldon has never given or used any data to Leave.EU. They are separate entities with strong data control rules. And vice versa.” He added: “Make any mistakes relating to the business and we will be most assuredly coming after the Guardian & you.”

HOW Nigel Farage & His Rag Tag Rabble are Clearly Being Used as a ‘sTRUMPette On A String’ in Donald Trump’s bigger game and are clearly disposable if need be.

Hi,
be minded when reading the article below that Isabel Oakeshott recently wrote the hagiography claiming glory for having obtained #BreXit for Arron Banks & Nigel Farage – amusing and at times self depracating as her eventual novella was that it could claim Farage obtained the BreXit vote and failed to even mention the pivotal role played by Nikki Sinclaire which actually brought about the Referendum and the BreXit vote provides some measure of just how slap dash and inaccurate her book was.
However one must remember that ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune‘ so little wonder Oakeshott’s book was merely the work of a praise singer for Farage & Banks!
It is unfortunate that an otherwise apparently competent journalist like Isobel Oakeshott would willingly befoul their credibility by prostituting her reputation for cash but this is not her first such folly and I doubt it will be her last but when reading her articles one would be wise to question both her accuracy and her motivation.
Also be aware that Brietbart via Bannon are in the mix acting as puppet masters for and at times of Donald Trump!
Buddies sending shock waves through Number 10: ISABEL OAKESHOTT explains how Trump’s ‘Farage for ambassador’ plot was meticulously planned out
Advisers said to have ‘war-gamed’ plot before Trump’s tweet was sent
Gesture shows he was deliberately ignoring protocol
Trump was fully aware tweet would cause a political storm
Move comes because President-elect’s camp disdain current ambassador
Published: 23:29, 22 November 2016 | Updated: 00:50, 23 November 2016
Tonight at The Ritz London, there will be a lavish drinks party in honour of Nigel Farage.
Around 100 of his closest friends and supporters have been invited to the five-star hotel for a thank-you celebration for his role in the referendum, and an acknowledgement of the 25 years of his life he has devoted to getting Britain out of the EU.
And had Donald Trump lost the US presidential election, he would have been among the guests.
For a few weeks ago, when the polls suggested Trump would fail to be elected to the White House, he told Farage that he would attend the party ‘win or lose’.
When the polls suggested Trump would fail to be elected to the White House, he told Farage that he would attend the party in his honour tonight ‘win or lose’ – but a change in result meant a change in tactic
But after having won, he realised that he couldn’t spare the time coming to London – and decided to do the next best thing: invite Farage to Trump Tower in New York for a meeting, making the interim Ukip leader the first major foreign politician he received.
With this dramatic gesture, Trump didn’t so much as upset the diplomatic apple cart as kick it over.
More to the point, he was deliberately ignoring protocol and enjoyed the ensuing spectacle of stuffy diplomatic noses put out of joint.
Trump’s characteristic refusal to play by the traditional rules is also behind his cheeky suggestion that Farage should be Britain’s ambassador to the US.
The idea is a very painful message for Downing Street officials and the Foreign Office about how the stakes in the game of diplomacy between London and a Trump administration in Washington have been raised.
Trump was fully aware that his tweet – said to be a little piece of ‘friendly’ advice – would cause a political storm in the UK
Trump was fully aware that his tweet – said to be a little piece of ‘friendly’ advice – would cause a political storm in the UK.
It brutally emphasised his position of strength. For he realised that Prime Minister Theresa May would have no choice but to reject his advice (for a host of political reasons) and this would put them on collision course.
I’m told that his ‘Farage for ambassador’ suggestion was meticulously ‘war-gamed’ by his advisers.
In other words, the ploy was analysed at length and the note only sent after consideration of all possible tactics and the likely response.
Of course, Trump’s team never expected that Mrs May would welcome the suggestion and jettison the current UK ambassador to Washington, Sir Kim Darroch (a career diplomat with special interests in national security issues and the EU) to make way for a man who has caused the Tory Party so many problems.
They were simply trying to test Mrs May and sending a typically blunt message about how Trump intends to operate as president.
Trump’s team never expected that Mrs May would welcome the suggestion and jettison the current UK ambassador to Washington, Sir Kim Darroch to make way for a man who has caused the Tory Party so many problems
As a result, Downing St can be in no doubt that when it comes to his dealings with Britain, as with everything else, ‘The Donald’ will not play by the rules.
In time, he may inevitably be more restrained, but for now, at least, he intends to do things his way.
As someone based in Britain who has been in daily contact with his team since his election told me: ‘Fellow world leaders and diplomats had better get used to such behaviour.
‘If they want to deal with him, they have to realise that Trump doesn’t have any truck with diplomatic niceties.
‘He thinks all that stuff is part of the Establishment ‘swamp’ which he has vowed to drain.’
Meanwhile, Trump’s very close relationship with Farage is going to pose a major problem for Mrs May.
Already, the photo of the Ukip leader and Trump grinning together beside the gold-plated doors of the latter’s apartment in Trump Tower must have been galling to the Prime Minister.
Trump’s very close relationship with Farage is going to pose a major problem for Theresa May
What’s more, Trump’s advisers are taking daily advice from Farage, who ten days ago mischievously said Mrs May ought to meet Trump – particularly after her team had been ‘quite rude’ about him and that there were ‘fences to be mended’. For her part, Mrs May undoubtedly hopes that the issue over the choice of UK ambassador to the US will blow over.
Downing Street will agree the view of a former holder of that post, Sir Christopher Meyer, who said yesterday that our ambassador ‘exists to defend UK interests in US, not US interests in UK’ and that we ‘can’t have foreign presidents deciding who our ambassador should be.’
But with Trump calling the shots with his incendiary suggestion, urging the British Government to give his buddy a key job, Mrs May has been put in a quandary.
Behind all this is the fact that the Trump camp hold in disdain our current ambassador and do not want do business with him.
Privately, they describe Sir Kim Darroch in graphically rude terms.
This is not a good basis on which the Foreign Office to proceed as it tries to strike a new, favourable, trade deal for Britain with Washington post-Brexit.
This said, Trump is very keen that Britain makes a success of life outside the EU. Not only does he love the UK, he’s also compared his own ‘Make America Great Again’ project to Brexit.
This means that his belief in our two countries sharing similar ideals gives him an emotional stake in Britain’s future outside the European Union.
As a result, having an Anglophile in the White House should be good news for Britain – certainly better than was the case with Barack Obama who warned that the UK would be at the ‘back of the queue’ in any trade deal with the US if we quit the EU.
So, Mrs May ought to take advantage of Farage’s hotline to the Oval Office. She must try to defuse Trump’s animus against Sir Kim Darroch.
One way would be to find a suitable role for Farage.
Not only does Trump love the UK, he’s also compared his own ‘Make America Great Again’ project to Brexit
While making him our ambassador is clearly out of the question, an elegant solution might be to appoint him as a special envoy or give him a role with one of the ministerial teams planning Brexit.
If that happens, for the first time in his political career, he would be ‘inside the tent’ rather than outside it making life awkward for the government of the day.
Giving him a long overdue peerage or knighthood – as I expect will happen in the New Year’s Honour List – would reinforce his status and smooth the way.
Of course, Mrs May would absolutely hate doing this – and it would also attract a huge deal of opprobrium from Farage’s many enemies.
Of course, Nigel Farage is a divisive character. But like or loathe him, as is the case with Donald Trump, he gets things done.
Brexit is proof of that and his pivotal relationship with the Trump presidency must be exploited in Britain’s national interest.

I Believe This Is Yet More Libelous Behaviour Could End In Court – Steve Crowther, Nigel Farage & Ukip having been shown to have libelled Amjid Bashir, paid compensation and undertaking never to repeat their libelous allegations – an agreement binding on all!
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
Hi,
.
many of you will remember the unpleasant spat and Nigel Farage & Ukip in general’s reaction to Amjad Bashir’s decision to quit Ukip to serve in David Cameron’s party within the EU.
Nigel Farage’s open criticism and libelous accusations of Bashir having acted in a dubious financial manner met with a clear reaction.
Although there were rumours and allegations at the time that a candidate had directly paid Nigel Farage for a position on the list as a prospective MEP! That Nigel Farage did not utilise the defence of ‘Veritas’ would seem to indicate it was not Bashir who paid a 5 figure sum to Nigel Farage for his position as a prospective MEP.
Details of the original libel alleged and for which Nigel Farage & Steve Crowther on their own and on behalf of Ukip apologised and signed an undertaking that they would not repeat the libels and as you will not they undertook to compensate Mr. Bashir.
That that story was written by A.B. Sanderson whom I am reliably informed is a false name used by Annabelle Fuller denounced in the EU Parliament as Nigel Farage’s sometime mistress and on Ukip’s payrole in some form or another – it is also worthy of note that the editor of Breitbary was in the employ of Nigel Farage aka Ukip in one form or another as part of Farage’s media corp.
As a point of interest it is clear, even from the article below, that for Nigel Farage, Steve Crowther or any other party to repeat the false allegations against Bashir is an offence under law!
UKIP’s Nigel Farage facing High Court threat from Amjad Bashir
UKIP leader Nigel Farage is facing legal action from an ex-UKIP MEP who defected to the Tories, the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire show has learned.
Amjad Bashir’s lawyers have written to Mr Farage asking him to publicly withdraw a range of allegations he made in January and pay damages.
The letter says otherwise he could face possible libel action in the High Court.
A UKIP spokesman said: “UKIP does not take part in trial by television.”
But it said it could not comment further while the legal case was ongoing.
Defection
Mr Bashir – MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber – joined the Conservatives in January, saying that UKIP had become a “party of ruthless self-interest” and had a “ridiculous” lack of policies.
But hours before his defection was to be made public he was suspended by UKIP, which said in a press release it was over “unanswered financial and employment questions”.
The following day, Mr Farage said he had become “increasingly alarmed” by Mr Bashir’s behaviour and that his “only surprise” was that the Conservative Party had accepted him as a member.
At the time Mr Bashir dismissed all the allegations – made on BBC One’s Andrew Marr programme and an interview on the Daily Telegraph and ITV websites – as “totally wrong” and an attempt to “muddy the waters”.
Image caption Mr Bashir appeared alongside UKIP leader Nigel Farage at the launch of the party’s 2014 local and European elections campaign
Now the Victoria Derbyshire programme has seen a nine-page legal letter from Mr Bashir’s solicitors, Atkins Thompson, sent in mid-March to Mr Farage and UKIP chairman Steve Crowther.
The letter says: “There can be no other conclusion that [the allegations] were published as part of a deliberate campaign on the part of UKIP and its most senior officers to discredit Mr Bashir in retaliation for his decision to join the Conservative Party.”
It demands that a press release detailing the allegations is removed from the UKIP website; that an apology to Mr Bashir is made in open court; and that damages and legal costs are paid.
“Contrary to the impression given by the press release, [Mr Bashir] had no forewarning of what UKIP had decided to allege,” the letter says.
In a statement, Mr Bashir said: “As soon as the various allegations were made it became clear that I had no choice but to pursue legal advice.
“I have taken that advice, we have compiled a case, and this now remains in the hands of my lawyers.”
He said he would not comment further on the case while it is still ongoing.
The BBC understands that lawyers representing both Mr Farage and Mr Crowther have asked for extra time to consider the letter and will respond by mid-April.
Victoria Derbyshire is broadcast weekdays from 09:15-11:00 BST on BBC Two and BBC News Channel. Follow the programme on Facebook and Twitter, and find all our content online.
This all seems to have been deliberately ignored in recent days, leading us to expect that Nigel Farage, Steve Crowther and a list of others amongst their associates may well. within the next week or two, find themselves in Court facing very substantial fines and liable to punitive damages.
Clearly this article CLICK HERE would seem to overstep the mark legally, this it was also the product of Breitbart, this time written by the close associate of Nigel Farage Raheem Kassam who is passed off as The Editor of Brietbart the callibre of which being shown by their editors comment and language:
So imagine how utterly unsurprised I was, given my history with the Shakespeare wanker, to see that two ‘Vote Leave’ senior figures have already started slagging off UKIP and its members: Daniel Hannan MEP and Gisela Stuart MP.
Also high on the list of those flouting the law are displayed by these screen shots over the last few days:
Well it does look as if Nigel Farage & Steve Crowther are likely to appear being closely followed in the Courts by Breitbart, Raheem Kassam, Mick McGough, Annabelle Fuller and Mike Hookem MEP. None of whom would seem to have made it clear that the articles and facts to which the allude as being subject to an appology as libel and liable to possible punitive damages!
It is sad to see those making a pretence of rejecting membership of the EU so willing to undermise their claims to wish to Leave-The-EU, with their language and behaviour!
It will however be interesting to see how long they are silenced and how savage are the fines and damages as they bring the body political into disrepute at this crucial time in Britain’s history.

Hi,
this is further to the FACTSand my opinions which I have already published CLICK HERE
It is clear that Nigel Farage deliberately set out to dupe people in a desperate effort to gain publicity and elevate his status – it is likely he was trying, like Donald Trump, to force the hand of the tax payers to provide and fund him with an official police body guard – which would, he believes, elevate his status and make him seem relevant.
Nigel Farage lied first to friends and associates back in October when he had a minor accident some 100 mile into his 125 mile journey from Brussels to the Channel. when he had a breakdown and was recovered as a result of wheel nuts on his car coming loose and allegedly losing a rear wheel.
Claims that this was an assasination attempt are pure drivel, just as when he was a passenger in a Polish made plane on a publicity jolly some years ago. That Nigel Farage’s behaviour subsequently contributed to the death of the pilot Justin Adams CLICK HERE is a sad fact of Farage’s self interest and thirst of personal publicity.
To the present – You will be aware Nigel Farage lied to claim the French Police had assured him that he had been tjhe target of a deliberate assasination attempt, which I totally refuted in my report at the time.
Now here are more facts to support my claim:
First from the French press:
Farage’s assassination plot? No witnesses vouch for it
Nigel Farage told the Mail on Sunday, his accident on a French motorway may have been a failed assassination attempt. Even the French police and mechanics told him so, he says. They deny they did.
Farage’s assassination plot? No witnesses vouch for it
Why does Nigel Farage fear his car was sabotaged? According to the story he told the Mail on Sunday, it’s because the French police and mechanics noticed the nuts on all his wheels had been deliberately unscrewed and told him it had to be a malicious act. The nuts were indeed all loose, but all evidence proves that the French never suspected a sabotage.
«Police told Farage all the vehicle’s wheels had been deliberately unscrewed», writes the Mail on Sunday. «The French police looked at it and said that sometimes nuts on one wheel can come a bit loose – but not on all four», Farage told the tabloid. And he kept going with details about what the police and mechanics supposedly told him : «The French police and mechanics looked at it but I have made no formal report in this country. The mechanics were absolutely certain of [foul play] but I have decided to take no further action». According to the anti-EU MP, he was the one who stopped the investigation.
Désintox talked to the mechanic who rescued Farage, and to the prosecutor who should have been in charge of the investigation, if there had been one. Both denied ever suspecting a foul play.
On October 21st, Farage was indeed rescued on the motorway in northern city of Marck after one of his wheel fell off. But it’s only once the car was towed to the garage, that the mechanic noticed all the nuts were loose. Philipe Marquis, owner of the garage, told Désintox he «had never seen anything like it [and that he] found it weird». Why didn’t he call the police then? Because he did not suspect it was a consequence of a sabotage… Instead, the mechanic suspected the nuts «had been wrongly screwed after an other repair».
He tried to know if Farage had had his car fixed in another garage, but couldn’t get to the bottom of it because… he doesn’t speak any English. «We had to talk by sign language», he said. Did he mention a «sabotage» ? «I never said that, he just saw us screwing back the nuts».Marquis certifies no one at his garage could have said anything about a foul play to Farage, who drove back to Britain. The mechanic never heard from him since.
Not only no witness can vouch for Farage’s account about what the mechanics told him, but according to our information the police did not mention any sabotage either. The police did arrive to the scene of the accident, but according to an anonymous source they did not examine the car, because no one was hurt. Hence, they could not suspect anything.
Dunkirk’s prosecutor confirms police agents were present on the scene but their intervention report only mentions a repair service. «If they had noticed a sabotage, they would have had to open an investigation», the prosecutor says. Even if Farage did not want the police to investigate the case, the prosecutor would have been entitled by law to open an investigation nonetheless. Reached by Désintox, Ukip did not care to comment on this story.
Maybe Nigel Farage suspects he has been the victim of a failed assassination attempt, but he’s clearly dishonest when he says this assumption is based on what the mechanics and the police allegedly told him. Not only did they not say anything, but they did not even suspect a thing.
To read the French version of this article, click here.
I have little doubt that Nigel Farage will lie to pretend that he has been miss quoted or that a member of his cult has led to the lie being published or in some other way try to pass the buck – one problem with sociopaths is that they manage to convince themselves that they can do no wrong and are all too willing to blame others for their dishonesty and incompetence!
However the story has been exposed in the British press also:
Screw-up: Mechanic rubbishes Farage’s car crash assassination claims
Ukip leader had claimed mechanics were ‘absolutely certain’ of foul play. The plot thickens…
A MECHANIC who fixed Nigel Farage’s “sabotaged” car rubbished claims it had been tampered with in an assassination plot.
The Ukip leader said he had suffered a near-death experience when his car came to a juddering halt on a busy French road after a wheel fell off his Volvo V70.
Mr Farage claimed mechanics “were absolutely certain” of foul play after finding all the nuts had been loosened on the wheel in an incident in October.
But now garage owner Philip Marquis, who claims to have fixed the Ukip leader’s Volvo, has said the story is nonsense and the pair had only spoken in “sign language.”
Speaking to French newspaper Liberation, he said although he had “never seen anything like it” it was almost certain the nuts had not been secured properly after a recent repair.
When asked who had tampered with them, he added: “I haven’t got a clue. Quite frankly, the way my life’s been over the past two-and¬a-half years, nothing surprises me.”
But Mr Marquis told the French newspaper Liberation he never thought about calling the French police and never mentioned sabotage.
Mr Marquis added: “I never said that, he just saw us screwing back the nuts.”
The two are at loggerheads Nick Obank
Ukip’s only MP Douglas Carswell, who has called for Mr Farage to step aside, was forced to deny outrageous suggestions he had been behind the sinister plot after the story emerged over the weekend.
The plot thickened still further when a recall notice emerged for the car model only for Volvo to insist Mr Farage’s car was not affected by the fault which caused wheels to come loose.
The prosecutor in Dunkirk confirmed police attended at the scene and said if they noticed any “sabotage” they would be forced to open an investigation.
Mr Farage said he had never wanted the story to come out in the public domain.
He added: “I never mentioned any mechanic. As far as I’m concerned, this is a dead story.”
Having had his lies exposed Nigel Farage tries to distance himse3lf from the ‘story’ he invented saying, after it was covered by almost every British paper, “… As far as I’m concerned, this is a dead story.”
failing totally to appologise for having set out to decieve everyone, just to get publicity – what will he claim was the French speaking mechanic’s hand gesture for ‘a deliberate attempt at assasination’!!!
Raheem Kassam clearly stated, in the Brietbart blog/paper where he wrote an article attacking the mainstream media for exposing Nigel Farage’s fantasy story, Nigel Farage had lied to him:
I confess, UKIP leader Nigel Farage told me about this specific concern over his car in November of last year. Off the record, not for reporting. “Fine,” I sighed. After the, “Oh my God, are you okay, mate?” obviously.
I didn’t give it much thought after that, until the papers splashed the news story (incidentally, I’m told, leaked by a disgruntled UKIP Member of the European Parliament looking to cause more trouble for the party leader) – …
Let us not forget Kassam WAS a friend of Nigel Farage’s and worked for him, even going so far in his admirationn of his cult leader as to be prepared to outlay several £100s to buy an ‘Arthur Dailey’ used car salewsman’s outfit ;-):
Let us see who Nigel Fasrage tries to blame this time as he is a past master at passing the buck and blaming others rather than act honourably, or he would have had the integrity to resign years ago.

UKIP Policy Chief Suzanne Evans ‘Cried’ After Backstabbing Farage
UKIP’s Deputy Chairman and head of policy Suzanne Evans is reported to have cried and “begged for a job at Breitbart” after a failed coup against UKIP leader Nigel Farage, according to party sources.
Evans, who was credited with UKIP’s flawless manifesto launch, is said to have “bought into” the Carswell narrative in believing that a leadership coup against Nigel Farage was credible and a “done deal”. After Mr Farage’s advisors got wind of the manipulation, they are said to have confronted the problem, and blocked a “left wing takeover” of the party by Ms Evans and the out of favour Patrick O’Flynn.
Breitbart London has learned that as Suzanne Evans discovered that she was Mr Farage’s favourite to be interim leader of the party, she began plotting to make the left-leaning Patrick O’Flynn the chairman of the party. Mr Farage’s advisors discovered the plot and blocked the group, led by Douglas Carswell MP, by keeping Mr Farage as leader.
Ms. Evans is said to have returned to her office in UKIP’s Brooks Mews HQ, “screaming and crying” over what she perceived was the end of her career.
She was later heard to beg former Farage advisors for “a job with Breitbart London” in an attempt to shore up her own financial situation.
Friends of Mr Farage told Breitbart London: “Carswell, O’Flynn, and Evans had clearly thought that Nigel was going. They thought it was a done deal. They positioned themselves to take over the party and move it more towards the left wing of British politics. They failed and now they’re all desperately trying to suck up to Nigel.”
Breitbart London understands that Douglas Carswell MP has desperately sought to contact Mr Farage over the past 12 hours, only to be met with a stony silence.
Ms Evans attempted to reverse ferret a few days ago, according to party sources, but was hung up on by Mr Farage, who said he didn’t want or need her support to continue as party leader.
Talking of ferrets it is clear that as ever Ukip are fighting like ferrest in a sack with Nigel Farage, who over many years has shown he has difficulty in controlling his zip, his drinking, his violent temper tantrumms and his unforgiving intollerance has now admitted his Ukip cult is little more than a one man band in today’s Sunday Express with the arrogant and hubristic boast, backed by Richard Desmond that “I’m in total control”.
Could it be that having been in ‘total control’ since Alan Aked effectively asuming the Party he had started was doomed with his parting memo to Craig McKinley (now Tory MP for Thanet) that he had left and Craig was now in charge; soon of course to see the defacto leadership of Ukip seized by Nigel Farage and his odious cronies.
Now the true scale of the catastrophe is becoming far more apparent as clearly brand Ukip has been subourned and subverted by ‘total control’ and as was shown in Thanet, where Nigel Farage stood unsuccessfully in his 7th. Parliamentary election, brand Ukip met with a majority vote taking overall control of Thanet Council whilst brand Farage was considered too toxic to elect.
Many of us had fortold the results for the General Election accurately, unlike those cranno rectally retentive pundits of The Westminster Bubble and we have been and yet again warn that it will be the emmulation of the Referendum of 1975 that will guarantee to lose the OUT argument yet again.
I admit I was deeply unimpressed with the partisan comments and crass conclusions of ‘Purple Revolution’ by two self proclaimed experts on Ukip, who managed to get much of it wrong! However they did pick up on one quote of common sense from Nigel Farage when he said:
“It is frankly just not credible for me to continue to lead the party without a Westminster seat. Was I supposed to brief Ukip policy from the Westminster Arms? No – if I fail to win South Thanet, it is curtains for me. I will have to step down.”
What eventually made him clearly without credibility was when he acted with integrity and stood by his word only to renege on his own common sense and rather than take the summer off to let Ukip lick its wounds and indulge in such recrimination, in fighting and blood letting as was needed to then put himself forward for a leadership election in September – IF he so wished.
It is hard not to speculate as to what it is he is frightened will come to light if he risks having others in control, might it be the accounts that terrify him or perhaps secret deals and payolla or even details of his drinking and private life – is this why he now claims to wish to run his cult until 2035 – rather overlooking the plight of his protege whom he chose and annointed as an MEP and the dire straits Ashley Mote now finds himself facing at 79 – perhaps Nigel Farage will be forced to run his cult until he drops!
Let us accept one proven fact there is a certain type, including many ex BNP supporters and loyal Labour deserters who love him but equally there is a better informed and better balanced army of patriots who loath his style and behaviour and there is no doubt Ukip has an army of implaccable enemies it has rightly earned.
To see Nigel Farage within a country mile of the referendum on the EU involved in the out campaign may puff up his ego and please his claque but for the electorate at large it would be the kiss of death to any possibility of a vote to Leave-The-EU, a fact which may explain why we saw the BBC and their selected panelists fawning over him on Question Time last week for surely they must realise that the best hope of a vote to stay IN the EU lies in the hands of Nigel Farage and failue is all but assured should he put himself forward for the NO campaign.
Already we have the weak minded mouthing the same mantras of personal egotism with their demands for a ‘Big Tent’ approach and dominance by the very same grouping of self important pratts as last time, looking to feeding their egos and their bank accounts regardless of the fact they WILL lose, same personalities same background same style just different names!
Let us leave the last word on the catastrophic outcome, should the same old same old clique gain a Westminster based control of the OUT Campaign, to the fiercly independent and well informed Richard North who has for many years had his light hidden under a bushel supplied by Christopher Booker who fronted much of North’s research and deductive ability, which became the beacon of EUroScepticism both in Christopher Booker’s weekly column in The Sunday Telegraph and various articles in other papers and journals, not to mention his lectures at Staff College & a number of very well informed and eminently readable books.
All the pundits of the Westminster Bubble prattle on about ‘Big Tents’ and not firming up on the facts to ensure a consensus, meanwhile forgetting the aim is to achieve an out vote not a jolly clique and a continued salary/income and have their egos massaged – whilst they have been wining and dining and beating their gums whilst they schmooze eachother and a few known money sources that seek their egos being stroked, Richard has been ploughing on to ensure he is the master of his brief with his book on HOW to Leave-The-EU FleXcit ready for publication in September with every detail meticulously cross checked and referenced in detail, now running to some 400 pages which you can see an introductory review of at:
http://www.eureferendum.com/documents/flexcit.pdf
The book that the Westminster Bubble lightweights will be too stupid to read and the media will glibly dismiss – all in the hope that they can do a cozy deal and LOSE like last time!:
From the mouth of our enemy, Jonathan Freedland, comes a devastating analysis which is all too accurate – far too accurate for comfort. He writes:
At present, plenty of people in the out camp reckon that if Farage is their leading voice, they will lose. They point to the Farage paradox: that as Ukip’s poll rating has risen in recent years, support for a British exit from the EU has diminished. Back in 2012, when Ukip commanded just 3 percent of public support, more people wanted to leave the EU than to stay in. Today, in a year when Ukip has won 13 percent of the votes in a general election, “in” can lead “out” by as much as 20 points. It seems Farage does well galvanising the convinced, but repels everyone else.
This is what worries outers, especially those in the Conservative party. With David Cameron now lionised by his party as an election-winning hero, he probably won’t have to extract too much from EU negotiations to win support for an “in” vote from all but the most diehard Tory Eurosceptics. So long as Cameron can point to a couple of token victories over Brussels, the likes of Michael Gove and Philip Hammond – who once threatened to vote for out – are likely to campaign to stay in. That would leave a dearth of big beasts on the “out” side – with Farage as the most visible face. And that could sink the anti-EU cause.
The point is well-made about Farage: “It seems Farage does well galvanising the convinced, but repels everyone else”. And that’s the point. People either love him or hate him – the trouble is most hate him, and to win the referendum we need 51 percent of the voters.
The next point is well-made as well: David Cameron probably won’t have to extract too much from EU negotiations to win support for an “in” vote.
Too many people are being far too complacent about the deal Mr Cameron can bring back from Brussels. This is the man who “vetoed” a treaty and was applauded by the media and his party. Even to this day, the legend survives.
All the signs are that the newly-anointed Prime Minister, in cahoots with the “colleagues” is capable of pulling off a theatrical “spectacular” – more than enough to unite the majority of his party, and to bring the media on-side.
This indeed will leave Farage as the lead political figure in the campaign. The few Tory “big beasts” who are still prepared to back the outers will then be linked with Farage and their continued campaigning will be political suicide – they will be isolated and marginalised – the rump of the Tory “right wing”. Very few others will want to take the risk.
Freedland’s analysis, therefore, points to failure – he paints a scenario that really is all too real. Farage taking a prominent part in the campaign will guarantee we lose. As Complete Bastardpoints out, he is a disaster – the one man who, single-handedly can lose us the referendum.
But winning the referendum must come first. Farage should stand down and we should make this a people’s campaign, capitalising on the anti-politics mood. A vote for “out” then becomes a vote against all politicians – Farage included. Tragically, it was never meant to be like this. But Farage has toxified the eurosceptic brand and this is the result. Even the Guardian can see it – our enemies understand us better than we do ourselves.
On the bright side, though, we have a late intervention from Douglas Carswell, who is telling Farage to take a break from Ukip. Politics is about persuasion, he says:
And getting noticed isn’t enough to win over people. You need the right tone. At times, Ukip has failed to strike the right tone. By all means we should highlight the problem of health tourism. But we need to admit that using the example of HIV patients to make the point was ill-advised.
Ukip, Carswell observes, has been at its most persuasive when we have been most optimistic. Anger is never a great way to motivate people — at least not for very long.
“The party”, he notes, “was founded to oppose Britain’s membership of the European Union. Getting us out is one of the reasons for our existence. For the first time in a generation, we now have a majority of MPs in the House of Commons in favour of a referendum on our membership. Instead of sniping at the government as they prepare the legislation for the referendum, we should take heart”.
Sternly, he tells his readers that, rather than automatically dismissing every idea for EU reform as necessarily bad, we should explain why we think we could do even better outside the EU.
Instead of feeding the idea that EU membership is synonymous with immigration, Ukip should help draw attention to the myriad of ways in which being run by Brussels makes us worse off. As a vital part of the coalition campaigning for “out”, Ukip needs to strike the right tone. We must be part of a movement, but not seek to dominate it, he says.
Rather than focusing on the 13 percent of people who voted Ukip at the last election, the “out” campaign needs to find ways of winning the argument among the 87 percent of people who did not. Strident euroscepticism won’t do it, he says. The clue is in the name. Ukip was founded to make the UK independent of the EU. That’s what brought us into politics. We mustn’t get distracted. We mustn’t confuse ends and means. We should be prepared to work with people across the spectrum who want ultimate power to reside with people answerable to the rest of us rather than Eurocrats.
“There are many decent Green, SNP, Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative voters who share this aim. Are we going to work with them or talk over them?” Asks Carswell, “Are we going to play our part in a positive coalition, making the case for a better future or are we going to drown out messages other than our own?”
The case is there to be made: a global Britain, trading with friends and allies on every continent including Europe. A democratic Britain, able to hire and fire its lawmakers. A free Britain, living under its own institutions. Every action we take over the next 12 months should be to promote that goal.
Concludes the one and only Ukip MP: “All of us Ukip supporters should ask one question. Is what I’m doing at this moment making an ‘out’ vote more likely? If it isn’t, stop it and do something else”.
If Ukip can take on board that message, then there is some hope and some room for accommodation. But it has to be a Ukip without Farage.
Nigel Farage’s CPAC Venture Lived Down To my Prediction in the earlier posting. A small fish in a big pond can however be a great irritant in a small puddle!
CPAC conference has lost much of its cachet, its significance has waned and only the key note Republican speakers command an audience, beyond the scrapings of the extreme right wing nutters.
Clearly Nigel Farage had high hopes of a well filled pot for his efforts, this was clearly not likely as I warned.
To think that it was this that Nigel Farage put himself through the rigours of his January detox and his efforts to break his dangerous and damaging habits. Without the ‘lift’ his habits have given him increasingly over recent months the lack of an audience must have hit hard, though a blessing as few would have witnessed his embarrassing and stereotypical presentation of well rehearsed negatives.
Nigel Farage went all the way to Washington in the hopes of making money from capacity crowds at the annual CPAC conference – only to speak to a near empty hall with a few people with little of worth to do.
Nigel Farage largely failed to ‘hit the spot’
The audience stayed with Mr Farage as he ventured into an assault on the growth of corporatism – “big business, big banks and big government”. When he turned his attention to foreign affairs, however, he stood on uncertain ground.
Criticising Mr Obama’s Middle East policy as being insufficiently forceful had been a reliable applause line at the conference throughout the day, so there was a certain amount of unease in those gathered when Mr Farage came at the topic from a different angle.
“The time has come to assess whether an interventionist foreign policy has been successful,” he said. “We’ve actually inflamed and stoked the fire of militant Islam by doing what we’ve done.”
His words were a sharp contrast to Ms Palin’s remarks just 40 minutes earlier.
“Aside from God almighty, what is the only force strong enough to keep this barbaric tide at bay?” she asked. “It’s the red, white and blue; it’s the United States military.”
To judge by the front page of GOOGLE not only did no one notice the abject and embarrassing failure of Nigel Farage nor did they miss an opportunity to point out he spoke o an empty hall & 1,000s of vacant chairs

Hi,
one would be wise to question the motivation of Nigel Farage as to why he sees fit, in the immediate run up to a General Election when his party’s standards are seemingly dropping like a brick in the polls, he would consider it either expedient or responsible to wish to speak along some of the most extreme right wing US politicians at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
CPAC was for a short time seen as a platform for right wing politicians and a platform for potential Republican presidential candidates. A role that has slipped more recently and is seen more as a platform for right wing extremists and the political nut cases of the American right! and the shock jock sensationalists like the implausible Alex Jones.
Consider who Nigel Farage is sharing a platform with!
A host of evolution denialists, self proclaimed evangelical extremist christians, anti women’s rights extremists and the like.
Just how can this be seen as of anything but embarrassment in British electoral politics or is this more a case of Nigel Farage tapping into the money stream for his own benefit with generously funded speaking opportunities and to that end it is little wonder that Nigel Farage has taken with him
Raheem Cassim the Tea Party’s man in Britain and ex journalist for the seemingly largely US extremist funded Breitbart on line news blog web site.
What Nigel Farage’s participation in CPAC has to do with EUroScepticism or his long stated ‘claim’ to wish to Leave_The_EU or how it may help his Ukip cult fans is more than a little difficult to see!
Or is it just another Nigel Farage ego trip?
Nigel Farage to join Sarah Palin at CPAC conference for US conservatives

Nigel Farage will speak alongside Sarah Palin and some of America’s most extreme Right-wing conservatives at a conference in Washington next week.
The Ukip leader will share a stage with a host of gun activists, Tea Party leaders and anti-abortion campaigners at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
Visitors to the summit are sometimes handed plastic fetuses by Evangelical Christian activists as a symbol of their opposition to abortion, while some Tea Party supporters walk the halls in uniforms from the 18th-century American Revolutionary War.

Mr Farage’s string of election wins has intrigued some on the American Right and his address at the Gaylord centre is expected to be met with interest by Republicans.
The CPAC conference draws in conservatives from across the US and is considered a chance for potential Republican presidential candidates to audition before the party base.
Mr Farage will share the podium with at least four of the Republican politicians vying for the chance to be their party’s standard bearer in the 2016 election and face off against Hillary Clinton.
The Ukip leader told The Telegraph: “There are parts of the American Conservative movement that I get on well with and other parts not so well with.
“We have learned quite a lot from some of them in terms of campaigning techniques, many of which we put into use in Rochester.
“Some of the very hard-line religious stuff is not where I’m going with politics and I often find myself disagreeing about interventionist foreign policies.”

Other speakers include Mrs Palin, the former governor of Alaska, and Wayne LaPierre, the head of the National Rifle Association (NRA), America’s leading gun lobby group.
Mr LaPierre is credited with thwarting the White House’s attempts to bring in new gun laws in the wake of the 2012 Newtown massacre, when 20 primary school children were murdered in Connecticut.
Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU), told Breitbart News that Mr Farage’s presence was “a significant reminder” to the Republican Party “that it can only be successful if it captures the hearts of conservatives”.
The Republican Party has been fighting a long-running internal battle between the party elite and the more radically conservative base.

UKIP Removes General Secretary Following Sexual Harrassment Allegations
Roger Bird
by Andre Walker23 Dec 2014122 UKIP has pushed out its General Secretary Roger Bird, following allegations of sexual harassment against him. Breitbart London sources have confirmed that Bird was exonerated by the investigation into his action but he was forced to sign an “amicable agreement” because “relations had broken down between party officials”.
Bird’s downfall began when Natasha Bolter was introduced to UKIP at the party conference in September. Following her arrival the two got close, but she accused him of sexual harassment after she was denied the candidacy South Basildon. Initially Bolter’s allegations gained significant traction in the media but Bird fought back by publishing text messages which implied a much closer relationship than she had presented. Following the release of the text messages the media began looking into Bolter’s CV and uncovered a series of lies within it.
She had claimed to have studies Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Wadham College, Oxford. However, the university confirmed they had no record of her ever studying there. Journalists were also unable to locate any friends or room mates from her time there. She was also unclear on her age, leading to suggestions that her whole CV may have been fiction.
Party insiders have suggested that Bird’s removal might have more to do with internal party politics than anything he may have done. Although he encouraged her application for South Basildon once she was an approved candidate, he had initially failed her on the assessment for the candidates list. With Bird out of the way the party chairman is now likely to appoint Lisa Duffy, who is Chief of Staff to Patrick O’Flynn MEP. Although Duffy’s relationship with O’Flynn is known to be strained, she is a close ally of party chairman Steve Crowther and her appointment would boost his position within the party.
Breitbart London understands that whilst the agreement between UKIP and Bird does not mention a financial settlement, he will get a pay off. He is believed to have signed the agreement to quell further negative press coverage, which he believes will further damage his future career. Insiders claim he also remains loyal to Nigel Farage and is keen to put the situation behind UKIP ahead of the General Election.
In the light of alegations about him one is forced to ponder the way to the position of MEP in Ukip for some candidates
