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.

On the one hand we have this sad and insecure little man wasting police time and making a great issue of being called a Pikey due to his background yet his leader Nigel Farage has allied Ukip with the racsit gutter sweepings of EU politics in return for increased bribes from the EU.
Jim Carver is unashamedly of Romany origins, just as Nigel Farage’s ancestry is German yet both seem only too happy to support and collude with overt racists in their EU EFDD Political Group some of whom can only be described as extremists.
On the one hand we have the the racist incitement of the utterly irresponsible Ukip MEP Gerard Batten who due to his chosen superstitions, no doubt exacerbated by his Filipino wife who would have been brought up under the influence of cardinal Sin, who issues anti Islamic propaganda, whilst Nigel Farage the leader of Ukip makes political capital out of exploiting anti immigrant sentiments lately jumping on the bandwagon of ‘Je suis Charlie’.
We have on the one hand the insecure Jim Carver bleating about being called a Pikey, surely he is man enough to brush this aside and set out to show how valuable Pikey’s are in our society, just as Nigel Farage supported his protege a Ukip PPC Kerry Smith (CLICK HERE) for his rant about Chinkys!
It is clear that due to poor leadership Ukip, even at its most senior has a lack of control, a lack of vision and only when self interest comes to play does it show its true hand.
It is unarguable that, as Gerard Batten, Kerry Smith, Jim Carver, Nigel Farage and many others are either overtly racist or at very best all too willing to exploit racism and work with racist extremists – little wonder they have followed in the footsteps of Oswald Moseley and Adolf Hitler who also saw a rise in membership when they singled out minority groups as a target.
Clearly there is a pool, in the gutters of political thought, of some 5 – 15% who are largely the losers in a civilised society, who are all too willing to support racism and such parties who espouse it be it e’r so thinly disguised as anti immigrant or opposed to one Bronze Age superstition or another!
You will note Ukip’s own web site:
Free Speech and Democracy
• No to Political Correctness – it stifles free speech.
• The law of the land must apply to us all. We oppose any other system of law.
• Teach children positive messages and pride in their country. We want to unite through better integration.
UKIP is a patriotic party that believes in putting Britain first. Only UKIP will return self-government to the British people.
Clearly Ukip is not just convincingly confussed but very clearly deeply flawed and unfit to represent others, particularly the majority who espouse self determination, reduction in PC, National sovereignty, National borders and a tollerant multi ethnic society melding to form one culture that is ‘British’.
Perhaps those who wish to run, crying at every slight, to waste police time, and are clearl;y unwilling or unable to provide leadership and a clear EU eXit strategy that is ethical, practicable and responsible, even after 22 years, should not seek to represent others, whatever financial rewards they personally accrue, and should stick to selling telephones, commodities and umbrellas for which they are clearly better trained and better suited.
