Clearly UKIP Couldn’t Organise A Carnival In Croydon so why do people think they have a serious role inpolitics where they can’t deliver either – 21 years and still no Exit & Survival Plan!

Hi,
as ever UKIP’s desperate efforts to pretend to inclusivity leaves them with Winston McKenzie as a ticking time bomb who as so often happens with UKIP under Nigel Farage’s inept attempts at leadership has yet again ‘blown’!
Just as in almost every election UKIP participates in issues overtake policies and as ever this time the overt racism of Farage’s chosen campaign where we note that the only publicity UKIP has received in the election run up has either been that which they purchased or bad publicity, which to be fair has indeed drawn support but sadly, as can be seen in these photos, amongst the elderly and those who previously supported the BNP and other xenophobes.
You will note how the UKIP racist issue has totally subsumed any reasoned rational promotion of policy to Leave_The_EU. This is hardly surprising in the ligyht of their inept and ill considered damaging campaign that gained so much bad publicity to add to the baggage that UKIP has attracted that has largely lost them the core vote from genuine EUroSceptics and has so damaged the EUroRealist movement such that if they continue to pretend to represent those opposed to membership of The EU that there is a danger that in the next year or two they will manage to lock Britain into membership and vassal status in the EU.
Astonishingly after 21 years UKIP still has absolutely no viable Exit & Survival Atrategy and clearly have very little understanding of just how the EU works, its foundations or its aims. UKIP has failed to explain just how Britain would be better off out of The EU or how it could be achieved – nor of the bigger picture and whilst they have a line of denigratory & childish rhetoric they would seem to have absoluitely no strategy or tactics that encompass the facts – just ya boo rhetoric.
UKIP quite clearly has no understanding of the background of the EU and their actions in placing their impramature on the negotiated edicts of The WHO, CODEX, Davos and other International bodies that oil the wheels of International trade and relations – The EU instigates almost nothing of consequence merely taking our place at the negotiating tables seeking a one size fits all concept making no allowances for the needs, aspirations and values of many of the constituent Nation States.
UKIP has displayed its ineptitude and lack of gravitas on a seriak basis – many may adulate them but few respect them whilst a clear majority despise their cheap style and fundamental lack of any candidates of note in any serious terms.UKIP lacked even the competence to put forward an entry for the BrExit Prize, clearly having no one of competence to research and write such a paper – though I concede that with 20/20 hindsight we now know that the BrExit Prize devolved into farce due to the corrupt management by The IEA and the ineptitude of the judges, which must have been disapointing for the 15 year old, who unlike UKIP, was actually able to present an entry for judgement.
Clearly UKIP is hugely out of its depth – it is not just Nigel Farage ducking out on attending meetings and being unable to cope with hard/combative interview by a well versed interviewer, as shown by James O’Brien on LBC CLICK HERE One need only read through their list of largely low life and nobodies they have fielded as candidate to represent them (for they sure won’t represent me and millions of others like me who seek competence) there really isn’t a single individual of competence, gravitas and integrity amongst their 60 or so candidates.
Then look at their candidates for the 4,000 local Council seats as they lurch from idiocy to irelevance as they are clearly such low grade – I look at my own Council and even in comparison with Labour who I have zero affinity with and the Lib.Dims. I have little but contempt for or even Tory who are so smugly inept UKIP are little more than an embarrassment – as shown by the publicity they have attracted as they follow in the footsteps of general failure of those who went before them.
UKIP may well have polled well for the EU election where we can expect 30% or less participation although it is clear the mask is slipping as the public see through the facade and UKIP has clearly peaked too early and they face every danger of a collapse in their vote, though the low turnout favours minority parties, there is still a chance they will come a close second with around 25 MEP seats but the danger they may only manage to hang onto a close third witha dozen seats only, which becomes ever more likely day on day and were it a further two weeks to the election they might do even worse.
Of the 4,000 local government seats up for election I very much doubt UKIP will top 200 and the number is also falling as the days pass and UKIP’s low grad candidates lurch from bad publicity to offensive behaviour!
Little wonder that Nigel Farage has to lay claim to his crass comments being due to being tired – let us not forget that  interogators use sleep deprivation as a means to expose the truth! That Farage is living in 3 different Countries staying either in hotels or The East India Club rarely visiting his alleged home where he has been paying his ‘wife’ some £30K a year of public money – presumably either as hush money or to keep the house aired we know not though we do know for certain that to originally get himself onto the gravy train he promised never to employ family members!
Perhaps he no longer considers Kirsten to be a relation in the light of the clear estrangement of their relationship!

Ukip scraps ‘carnival’ to prove it’s not racist after steel band refuses to play in front of ‘Love Colour’ sign and Farage stays away

Nigel Farage was forced to pull the plug on his latest attempt to prove Ukip is not racist, after a steel band refused to play at a bizarre ‘Carnival’ in Croydon.

The Ukip leader hoped it would be a ‘bold and vibrant’ event to defy his critics, but organisers were confronted with protesters likening the party to Nazis.

Mr Farage abandoned plans to attend after opponents clashed with party members, the steel band walked out and a Ukip candidate branded Croydon a ‘dump’.

Ukip yesterday paid for a full-page advert in a national newspaper insisting it was not racist. 

Today’s event, staged in front of a shop window with the slogan ‘Love Colour’ was a follow-up to a rally Mr Farage held featuring candidates and members from ethnic minorities.

 In an apparent admission that the party had to do more to prove it was not racist, the street rally was organised in Croydon.

But Ukip candidates and supporters clashed with protesters and campaigners. Romanians carrying banners about Nazis argued with party members about Nigel Farage’s remarks last week about Romanian neighbours.

Winston McKenzie, a black Ukip candidate in Thursday’s election, clashed with black teenagers in a debate over whether he was a leader of the community while also being in the party.

 

He used a megaphone to make a speech urging people to make Britain great again. Mr Farage was due to attend the event, dubbed a carnival or street party, on Croydon High Street.

In his speech, Mr McKenzie said: ‘I want to thank all of the patriotic people in this country who are fed up, let down by the situation.

 

‘I’m sick to death… of hearing the same rhetoric come from the same stale political parties.

 

‘It’s time people woke up and realised this country is being disenfranchised.’

Police officers watched over the peaceful but heated clashes outside the Whitgift Shopping Centre.  

The Endurance Steel band, which included black members, told reporters they were ’embarrassed’ to be there because they did not think that people should vote for Ukip. 

Winston McKenzie, a Ukip council candidate in Croydon, tried to silence critics using a megaphone. Standing in front of a Ukip battlebus he addressed a small group of party members.

But as he was shouted down by opponents, it emerged that Mr Farage had cancelled a visit to the town. Mr McKenzie confirmed Mr Farage would not be attending, citing security concerns.

 

He told reporters: ‘He’s a responsible family man and political party leader. Certain situations you have to avoid.’

 

Mr McKenzie added: ‘Croydon is unsafe and a dump.’

 

Protesters told Ukip to ‘f*** off’ and challenged them over remarks by one council candidate who said comedian and actor Lenny Henry should emigrate to a ‘black country’.

It came after Mr Farage was condemned by politicians from the three main parties after declaring in a radio interview last week that everyone knows ‘the difference’ between Romanians and Germans. Mr Farage’s second wife Kirsten is German.

The Ukip leader yesterday attempted to backtrack, saying the vast majority of Romanians were ‘good people’.

‘If I gave the impression… that I was discriminating against Romanians then I apologise certainly for that,’ the Ukip leader said on a campaign visit to Ramsgate. He said people would – rather than should – be concerned about Romanian neighbours.

He added: ‘Can we just have an honest appraisal of what has happened to post-communist Romania? Across the whole of the European Union, amongst all 28 member states, 7 per cent of all crime is committed by 240 Romanian gangs.’

Ukip chairwoman Janice Atkinson who called for protesters who ‘hurl abuse’ to be arrested caught swearing at anti-racism activists

MEP candidate accuses Green Party of ‘harassing public’ in Kent and says ‘I think my view of them is self-evident’

A senior Ukip MEP candidate who last week called for abusive protesters to be arrested by police has been caught on camera swearing at a group of local activists.

Janice Atkinson, who is the party’s South East chair and described herself as Nigel Farage’s “number two”, was pictured raising her middle finger at members of the People’s Assembly in Ashford, Kent.

People’s Assembly and Green Party member Maria Pizzey said she and a small number of activists held a peaceful protest next to Ms Atkinson and Ukip’s Ashford chair Norman Taylor, who Ms Pizzey said seemed “embarrassed” by his colleague’s behaviour.

According to the protesters, former Tory candidate Ms Atkinson made “personal comments about [Ms Pizzey’s] body size”, and said: “I don’t care where you f***ing post this, just f**k off!”

It comes as the latest in a string of altercations in the South East between Ukip and a

number of groups including Unite Against Fascism and the Green Party.

Members of the small group of People's Assembly activists said they stood 'peacefully' next to the Ukip stand and let members of the public approach them

Members of the small group of People’s Assembly activists said they stood ‘peacefully’ next to the Ukip stand and let members of the public approach them Ms Atkinson, who last week told The Independent that recent protests had made her “fear for her safety”, posted a picture of the activists on Twitter yesterday with the caption: “The attractive face of the Greens, apparently.”

She said that the protesters had been “harassing the public”, resulting in “many complaints, one to police”.

But Thom Pizzey, who attended the protest along with Maria, said: “We never shouted. We stood respectfully and quietly to the side of their stall and let people approach us.”

He said the group had been “exercising free speech and freedom to protest”, and that “the only one who swore or was aggressive” was Ms Atkinson herself.

Last week Ms Atkinson said that the accusations of fascism and Nazism aimed at Ukip by activists were “disgraceful”. She said the party had called for any protesters who “call our supporters fascists, hurl other abuse or any physical assault” to be arrested by police.

Speaking to The Independent today, Ms Atkinson accused the activists of being “the Socialist Workers anarchy wing of the Greens” and “masquerading as ordinary voters against Ukip”.

She said: “They were intimidating my party workers, women and elderly distinguished gentlemen, calling them racist bigots. That is unacceptable, we are the third party of politics.

“They were also intimidating members of the public who approached me. One young woman who said she was in her 30s and had never voted before, said she was voting for me. The fat Green woman approached her, telling her that I was a racist bigot. She was very upset, she later told me she had complained to the police.

“I think my view of them is self evident. I have nothing else to add.”

To understand the competence of Janice Atkinson that justifies her being placed as number two on the South East regional list above UKIP’s golden girl the partner of the EU lobbyist a local councillor in her own right Diane James who stood for them in Eastleigh gaining one of their best ever results in a by-election.

Well why was Janice Atkinson, who has so little self control and such a gutter approach to politics selected as number two after Nigel Farage with a near certain chance of being elected as an MEP, surely it could not have been her utterly inept handling of the last London assembly and Mayoral elections that were such an inept catastrophe for UKIP as reported in detail by UKIP themselves see CLICK HERE

One clearly argue that this woman, who is let us face it more talented than almost any other UKIP candidate likely to gain a seat such as the seried ranks of nebishes and nobodies that UKIP has lined up that so typify the utter irelevance of UKIP MEPs and MEPs in general which is why the British electorate, few of whom could name their own MEPs let alone any serious number of MEPs from Britain explaining why the electorate are so willing to use UKIP as their toilet to flush away their votes in protest at the ineptitude they perceive of our politicians.

It is these phenomena that make it a matter of indifference to both the informed and the ill-informed even the misinformed as to whether UKIP have 7 or 70 MEPs elected – their role is merely as a protest and as I have pointed out time and again the more of these useless parasites that UKIP has elected the more damage they do the image of the partyy – one only needs to consider the ticking time bomb of the utterly inept nobodies, perverts, fools and freeloaders UKIP will have elected, having seen their lists, be that 7 or 70 such liabilities they can without doubt do damage to the image of the party where there is almost nothing that they can do to enhance UKIP’s reputation and we can count on UKIP gaining ever more publicity as they take it in turns to fall out with Farage as has been the norm to date where nearly 50% of MEPs elected to UKIP seats have parted company with UKIP and or Farage as he is the Party!

This is not unique to UKIP MEPs as you will have noted it is a trait of Nigel Farage’s to fall out with people who come between him and his ego driven insecurity where he falls out with many be they wives, mistresses, NEC members, EUrorealist activists and of course MEPs. I feel sure that UKIP far outstrips any other party in ‘churning’ of members, leaving a trail not of failures but of those who have seen through the corruption and the very scam that is UKIP.

The most telling story of this coming Thursday is not just how many protest votes UKIP will attract as it is irelevant – the telling factor is what percentage of the vote UKIP gains for Councillors – it is my guestimate that UKIP’s local election results this year will be as risible as those last year where of some 1,750 seats in which UKIP candidates competed less than 150 were elected!

There will of course be some knock on effect that should aid UKIP in that the local election is being held on the same day as the British public will be registering their protest votes via the EU. However I doubt UKIP will gain much over 10 percent of the seats available, even if they do that well!

UKIP just isn’t trusted in domestic politics and the better they SEEM to do the more they face scrutiny as the trueism of ‘the higher up the tree the monkey climbs the more you see its Rse’; UKIP is not being picked on and nore is their a conspiracy to smear them it is just that until now no one gave a damn about them sufficient to investigate them and the more they rise in perception the more they will face scrutiny!

Many will remember the artwork caricature of Michael Foot when he was portrayed as a crumpled duffle coat and a walking stick – I feel it is likely that the lasting image of UKIP, long after they have moved into fading history, will be an Arthur Daley cost (over worn) a pint barely supped alongside several empty claret bottles and a smouldering Rothman fag in an ashtray – what else can UKIP legitimately claim to have left as a legacy beyond the devisive racism in its many forms from that of Gerard Batten to the insecurity of the neo BNP voters attracted by demonising a sector of people as Hitler did with the Jews to play to populism for his own gain against rivals.

Hi,
that UKIP attracts front page news like this can not be passed off, even to the most gullible, as some sort of smear tactics – this is clearly and undeniably reliable journalism and carrying out their duty to inform the public. Were this the action of any other party responsible UKIPpers would be only too pleased to see such blatant corruption exposed.
I have never heard a spokesman for UKIP speak out in support of Labour for rewarding their donors with Peerages, nor for that matter has anyone officially spoken out against Peerages for services to the Tories as in the case of the liar and racist scoundrel Malcolm Pearson!

Ukip faces scandal over ‘cash for Euro seats’

Ukip candidate Jane Collins

 Ukip faces a “cash-for-Euro-seats” scandal after forcing MEPs to donate large sums and threatening to bar those who refused from standing again, its former deputy leader says. Ex-Ukip insiders have also raised concerns that the party favoured wealthy MEP candidates before this month’s European elections.

 

Two leading candidates for the May 22 poll, and the partner of a third, donated or lent the party tens of thousands of pounds about the time they were selected for safe seats, according to an analysis of Electoral Commission records.

 

No new MEP candidates from the Labour or Conservative party have made declarable donations in the past four years. Three Liberal Democrat candidates who have donated large amounts have not been given winnable seats.

 

The revelations come amid further controversy for Ukip. Yesterday a British Asian former chairman of its youth wing resigned from the party, claiming that it “deliberately attracts the racist vote”, while Janice Atkinson, a prospective MEP, provoked derision by asking police to arrest protesters who called Ukip members “fascists”.

 

David Campbell-Bannerman, Ukip’s former deputy leader, left the party in 2011 after repeatedly warning Nigel Farage and other top officials about its “overt [link] between financial contributions and selection to a public elected office”. He said that it was “potentially very dangerous” and could be seen as being “cash for Euroseats”.

 

In his resignation letter, leaked to The Times by a former Ukip branch chairman, Mr Campbell-Bannerman raised concerns including that “Ukip MEPs will only be there in future to keep the party solvent or to pay lip service to the leader”.

 

Mr Campbell-Bannerman, now a Conservative MEP, accused Ukip of drawing up plans to field four MEP candidates simply so they could “pay all their salary to the party” without carrying out any work.

 

He wrote that his “urgent calls” for legal advice had gone unheeded and warned that “any future Ukip MEPs beyond 2014 will either be very rich or just sycophantic placemen/women of the leader”. Mr Campbell-Bannerman said yesterday that he stood by his comments.

 

All Ukip MEPs elected this month will have signed a “code of conduct” forcing them to donate 10 per cent of their salary, equivalent to about €10,000 (£8,000) a year, to the party. Any MEP not fulfilling this promise risks being “blackballed”, according to emails sent by Alan Bown, one of Ukip’s biggest donors.

 

Mr Campbell-Bannerman was primarily concerned with pressure applied to sitting MEPs. However, a number of new candidates likely to win seats at the European Parliament on May 22 have also given generously to the party.

 

Under European electoral rules, parties register a list of candidates in ranked order in each of the UK’s 12 regions.Voters choose a political party rather than an individual candidate and each party’s share of the vote then determines how many of their ranked candidates are elected in each region.

 

Jill Seymour, 56, a parish councillor in Shropshire, is ranked first on Ukip’s regional list for the West Midlands, making her almost certain to become an MEP. She and her husband Brian, 77, a manufacturing tycoon, paid the price of a “car” to host what was then Ukip’s biggest public meeting, a 900-person gathering, in Telford last September.

 

Ms Seymour was the highest-ranked candidate in the region in a preliminary list endorsed by Ukip’s selection committee and was voted in by the party membership as the top candidate two weeks after the Telford event. Ukip has not registered the donation, which it would have been required to do if it exceeded £7,500.

 

Jane Collins and Amjad Bashir, who are ranked first and second in Yorkshire and the Humber, made interest-free loans of £10,000 each to the regional party branch in November and December 2013, weeks after their selection. Mr Bashir also financed a Ukip event attended by more than 1,200 people in Gateshead last month. Staff said hiring the venue with sound and lighting equipment and crew for an evening event would cost £10,200.

 

Mr Bashir declined to say how much the event had cost but that he was “democratically elected on merit and am working hard as a part of a team to secure the best possible result for Ukip in the European elections”. Ms Collins did not comment.

 

Ms Seymour has not campaigned as fervently as some of her fellow prospective MEPs. She has only spoken at three Ukip-organised events in the West Midlands this year, while the second- and third-ranked candidates have each spoken at least a dozen times, according to the party’s website.

 

In seven local hustings organised between the West Midlands MEP candidates since April, Ukip was the only party not to field their top-ranked candidate on a single occasion.

 

Ms Seymour said she was unable to attend every hustings because she had been “inundated” with requests, adding that she was “all over the place, we’re out all the time”. “I can’t fit myself into every hustings,” she added.

 

A Ukip spokesman said the party believed there was “no point” in responding to detailed questions from this newspaper because “past experience has taught us that you will not fully or fairly record our responses”.

 

Three new Lib Dem candidates have donated to the party since mid-2010, although none of the donations came within a year either side of the party’s regional lists being announced in December 2012.

 

Rob Speht, a former councillor, gave donations valued at £3,300 in mid-2011 while Jo Hayes, a councillor in Colchester, gave £10,000 last December. Both are number two on their regional lists in areas where the Lib Dems may well miss out on winning a single seat.

 

A Lib Dem spokesman said the party does not “require either MEPs or candidates to donate to the party” and that donations “do not play a role in the selection or ranking of Liberal Democrat European election candidates”.

That UKIP’s selection processes for office in both elected office and employment was corrupt has long been known to those informed in the matter of dishonesty withing UKIP and its unarguably corrupt leadership. The problem has always been the willingness of the leadership clique and much of its claque to brazenly lie to the media, the legal authorities and others in a manner most redolent of sociopathy – in that it seems probable that they believed their lies were justified in their belief of the cause they claimed to represent.
To understand the style and extent of corruption one need only read of the lies and dishonesty of Douglas Denny in his capacity as a party returning officer yet willing to utterly corrupt any concepts of democracy to ensure his benefactor Nigel Farage was elected see CLICK HERE
That this was an institutionalised process is shown by the report of another returning officer for the party who enumerated corruption and outlined its extent CLICK HERE.
The indubitable and undeniable corruption that put UKIP MEPs and other officers in position is most clearly displayed by the intellectual pygmies and the institutionalised lack of gravitas of those holding office in the party; clear failings that are glibly passed off as some sort of merit in their not being competent politicians as they are not career politicians and be it the serial failure in The City, fired from his main job for his habitual drunkenness, or the shop sales assistant for BT, or even the Tory serial failure at elections David Bannerman, or even the inherited wealth and status of Stuart Agnew or William Legge, or the good fortune of making money from building society buy outs of estate agencies UKIP has not attracted and kept a single solitary MEP of any realistic competence or calliber.
The serial failures and indisputable self serving rascals and nere do wells who have ridden MEP tickets in UKIP are most plausibly understood to have gained office by bribery in one form or another, be that even pure sychophancy than was ever displayed in merit or democratic due process within the party.
That UKIP is unfit for office is hard to deny be that in its inability to either represent or even understand the processes required either to win a referendum to Leave-The-EU or to promote the benefits of Leaving where after 21 years they have achieved virtually nothing and have even failed plausibly to represent the huge upswing in opposition to membership of The EU amongst the public, diluting the message with their racist stance in supporting racism across The EU, as the undeniably do in offering support and encouragement and even direct financial succour to their CHOSEN colleagues in their Pan EU Political EFD Group, whilst having closely associated via their tawdry MEPs with such organisations as The Front National of France, The Lega Nord of Italy, The EDL  and even the BNP.
FARAGE, Nigel 37 DEAVIN, Mark - LeCOMBER, Tony
That UKIP’s line is to lie to claim they are not racist, in the face of clear evidence to the contrary and the odious display of those of ‘different’ ethnicity as a clear display of tokenism has been as risible as the individual who in pretence of lack of overt prejudice states ‘some of my friends are black’ or ‘I have several gay friends’ when they base their association with black friends or homosexual chums on very febrile linkage – just as where Nigel Farage ensures a photo shoot is organised that can be captioned ‘We are not racist we have several non white candidates’!!
Yet it was Nigel Farage, UKIP’s founder Prof. Alan Skedd assures us to this day, stated Nigel Farage said:
“We will never get the nigger vote”
which of course has been frequently denied, yet seems all too likely to be true as this most litigious of politicians has never visibly taken action to gain redress on the statement and whose subsequent support for racism has been transparent.
I do not for a moment claim that all members of UKIP are racist but it is undeniable that its leadership and senior members aid and support racism and as shown by Sanya-Jeet Thandi racism is rife a’s leadership and the party policies incline to encourage racism see: CLICK HERE
I reiterate that I do not for a moment claim UKIP membership is largely racist but it is clear that racism is a very marked part of the makeup of UKIP as a party or ALL of its members would have spoken out in disgust at the support for xenophobes,over racism, Holocaust Denial, anti homosexuality and the like amongst their CHOSEN partners in the EU EFD Group and even closer to home the propensity to incite racial hatred of Gerard Batten based upon his superstitious beliefs in association with known racists and with his vile attack on honest decent followers of Islam, which inclines and is likely to incite racial hatred and animosity – little wonder he recently obtained notoriety with allegations of a brick being thrown at his house and braking a window!
Despite Gerard Batten’s undeniable lack of understanding of the basic tenets of justice and his willingness to abuse his position to seek to pervert the course of justice I would not put it past him to have invented the story of a brick being thrown at his house for personal publicity – he was after all only too willing to ‘use’ the police to make patently false allegations against me – which fortunately the South Wales Police dismissed despite the efforts of the less diligent and untrustworthy Metropolitan Police.
Am I saying that all of UKIP members are corrupt and racist, clearly not but just as with The Metropolitan Police there is a very clear sector who are corrupt and lack due diligence.

UKIP Discovers: When You Depend On Stunts Await A Falling Star! As their conference star Sanya-Jeet Thandi has proved.

.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
as one Asian woman said when she quit UKIP:

“Ukip is exploiting the stupidity of ignorant anti-immigrant voters for electoral gain, While the party deliberately attracts the racist vote I refuse to be associated with them.”

Ukip’s ‘rising star’ is rising no more; she’s quit in disgust

Back in November 2011, Ukip posted a video on YouTube in which Nigel Farage tried to knock on the head the notion that Ukip was a “whites only” party – propagated, he said, by The Independent and The Guardian – which was peopled by “very angry old men.” As evidence, he produced an 18-year-old named Sanya-Jeet Thandi, who had taken that autumn’s Ukip conference by storm. “A rising star of the party,” he called her.

As such, she was on Channel 4 only this month defending Ukip’s immigration policies, on the grounds that Ukip would give equal treatment to all would-be immigrants while the EU favours EU citizens.

But Sanya-Jeet Thandi is a rising star of Ukip no more. She has quit in disgust at the anti-immigrant campaign Ukip is now running. “Ukip is exploiting the stupidity of ignorant anti-immigrant voters for electoral gain,” she wrote. “While the party deliberately attracts the racist vote I refuse to be associated with them.”

Ukip’s garagistes

 

 

 

The events of the past couple of days have also raised questions about how much certain members of Ukip value free speech. Janice Atkinson, who chairs the party in the South-east, thinks protesters who shout “fascist” at Ukip members should be arrested. And an unidentified councillor:

 

 

 

sent for the police because he objected to a tweet posted by a Green blogger, Michael Abberton, lampooning Ukip policy.

Finally, the Camden New Journal recorded a Ukip candidate in West Hampstead, Magnus Neilsen:

reflecting that the Reform Acts of 1832 and 1888, which extended the vote to working-class men, may have been a mistake.

 

farage-garage-01-cambridge

But there is a group of Ukip activists who value free expression – their own, if no one else’s. Protesting against the treatment of “hard-working, right-thinking, garage-owning Brits”, they have been busy in Cambridge decorating the doors of a row of garages with large black vinyl letters spelling out the words “Farage garage” – which they presumably pronounce so that the two words rhyme, though some of us make Farage rhyme with barrage and garage with carriage.

The letters were easily removed without damage to the doors, but when Cambridge News asked Ukip’s Cambridge branch chairman, Peter Burkinshaw, what he thought of this stunt, he replied: “I hate graffiti of all kinds. I think these messages should be illegal.” Spoken like a true Ukipper.

Ukip Abusing the Police & Justice system As Part Of Enforcement for their own gain, to suppress facts about Ukip, as a part of their Modus Operandi.

Published to web site 19-Jan-2015.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.

Hi,

Yet another case of Ukip using the police in an effort to intimidate and threaten a member of the public for daring to publicise facts about Ukip.

I appreciate this article is somewhat dated but there is no statute of limitations on abuse of the police process for gain that I know of and this is far from an isolated incident!

Such abuse of the police and Justice by Ukip is in fact all too common, whether through the Courts as with Jasna Badzak and also Nikki Sinclaire, both harassed by the police and charged, based on questionable complaints made by Ukip.

Just as I was lied about by Mark Croucher, Clive page and Paul Nuttall, as shown when their efforts to abuse the Court procedures and Justice to extort over £100,000 from me, their case was dismissed and I was discharged with costs awarded in my favour – costs, that I might add, Ukip have been too dishonest and devious to honour, in a display of contempt for The British Courts and British Justice.

Gerard Batten also lied to the police in an effort to bankrupt me and after being questioned under caution for almost 3 hours, there again the case was thrown out, this time by the police who realised he was telling lies and trying to invent a case against me, having boasted to associates in Brussels that he was going to bankrupt me and silence me once and for all.

Gerard Batten’s actions against me would seem to be all too similar to his claims made regarding Jasna Badzak!

Just imagine what these United Kingdoms would be like were these corrupt charlatans to get any kind of power or authority at the upcoming General Election – it looks like the first casualty would be freedom of speech and the second casualty would be the indipendence of the police as a part of controlling the judicial process.

There are many other cases like the one below – as examples of Ukip’s modus operandi!

Green Party activist visited by police over Ukip tweet


13-May-2014
posted by Rory MacKinnon in Britain

Free speech under threat as comments were ordered to be removed


OUTRAGED Green Party peer Jenny Jones condemned yesterday a police visit to the home of an activist who used Twitter to expose Ukip’s racist policies as “bully boy tactics.” 

Ms Jones is writing to Home Secretary Theresa May after police were sent to doorstep Green Party member Michael Abberton at his Cambridge home on behalf of a thin-skinned Ukip councillor.

Mr Abberton revealed that officers visited on Saturday in connection with a tongue-in-cheek graphic he had tweeted last week titled “10 reasons to vote for Ukip.”

The “reasons” — ranging from their pledges to scrap maternity leave and holidays to raising income tax for 88 per cent of the population — were supplemented with links to Ukip materials.

Officers asked Mr Abberton to remove the tweet and ordered him not to tweet about their visit.

The activist removed the tweet as a gesture of goodwill but unmasked the intimidation attempts on his blog, writing: “A complaint had been made but with no legal basis. Not a police matter. So why did they come to my home in the middle of a Saturday afternoon?

“Why would a political party, so close to an election, seek to stop people finding out what its policies are or its past voting record?

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman confirmed that a Ukip councillor had taken “exception” to the tweet and filed a complaint on Friday.

“Inquiries were made as to whether any offences had been committed under the Representation of the People Act but none were revealed and no further action was taken,” he said. 

The spokesman said it was “certainly not the advice” of police not to tweet about such visits. 

“This is not 1930s Germany,” he said.

But the Green’s peer Ms Jones was far from satisfied, telling the Morning Star that she intended to raise the matter with the Home Secretary.

Ms Jones said the officers’ decision to go doorknocking was “absolutely astonishing.

“It sounds horrific,” she said. 

“It’s all about freedom of speech. As a politician I know there are terrible things people say about me and you just have to live with it.

“The police need to understand that there’s no role for this unless there’s actual abuse.”

And Green Party leader Natalie Bennett added: “This is a very disturbing occurrence.

“Just the sheer fact of the visit is deeply damaging to free speech and is going to intimidate a lot of people thinking about whether they really are free to speak their mind.”

Ukip Cambridgeshire group council leader Paul Bullen — a magistrate in Huntingdon and Cambridgeshire’s Family Proceedings Court — denied all knowledge of the affair, adding that he “could not see” his fellow Ukip councillors making such a complaint.

He repeatedly declined to say whether he would ask them whether they had been involved, stressing instead that he knew “absolutely nothing.”

“If I looked at every bit of mud-slinging against Ukip in the last three months, I’d spend my whole life on the internet,” he said.

Earlier this month the right-wing party’s would-be Stockport councillor Harry Perry was suspended over a series of tweets asserting that “Islam is evil” and Muslim children were the “devil’s kids,” that Pakistan should be “nuked” and that gay, lesbian and bisexual people were an “abomination before God.”

Ukip Enfield candidate William Henwood told British comedian Lenny Henry via Twitter in March to “emigrate to a black country” and compared Islam with “the Third Reich, strength through violence against the citizens.”

Police ask blogger to remove tweet about Ukip

Police have asked a blogger to remove a tweet that fact-checked Ukip policies but did not break any laws after receiving a complaint from a Ukip councillor, prompting concern over attempts to stifle debate.

Michael Abberton was visited by two Cambridgeshire police officers on Saturday. He was told he had not committed any crimes and no action was taken against him, but he was asked to delete some of his tweets, particularly a tongue-in-cheek one on 10 reasons to vote for Ukip, such as scrapping paid maternity leave and raising income tax for the poorest 88% of Britons.

Abberton, a Green party member who writes a blog on science and green politics, described the incident on his Axe of Reason blog.

“The police explained that I hadn’t broken any law – there was no charge to answer and it really wasn’t a police matter.

“They asked me to ‘take it down’ but I said I couldn’t do that as it had already been retweeted and appropriated, copied, many times and I no longer had any control of it (I had to explain to one of the officers what Twitter was and how it worked). They said that they couldn’t force me to take it down anyway.”

However, to show goodwill Abberton removed all instances of the offending tweet.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: “A Ukip councillor came across a tweet which he took exception to. The name of the person on the tweet was identified and that individual was spoken to. We looked at this for offences and there was nothing we could actually identify that required police intervention. Clearly, the councillor was unhappy about the tweets. If every political person was unhappy about what somebody else said about their views, we would have no politics.”

As for being told not to tweet about the visit, the spokesman added: “I don’t know if he’d have been told that. It’s certainly not the advice I would have given him. A gentleman has a right to free speech – absolute total right to free speech – we can’t tell people what they can and can’t say on the internet, as long as it’s within the law. We certainly don’t go to people’s houses and say: ‘You can’t tweet about this’. This is not 1930s Germany.”

On his blog, Abberton made it clear that the two police officers were extremely professional and polite, but he did wonder why they had visited him at all.

“It wasn’t until after they left that I questioned why they had visited me in the first place. A complaint had been made but with no legal basis. Not a police matter. So why did they come to my home in the middle of a Saturday afternoon? Also, seeing as my profile doesn’t have my location – how did they know my address, or even the town I live in? … Why would a political party, so close to an election, seek to stop people finding out what their policies are or their past voting record? And is it not a matter for concern that a political party would seek to silence dissent and debate in such a manner?”

Julian Huppert, the Liberal Democrat MP for Cambridge, who was contacted by Abberton, said he was awaiting a detailed response from the police.

“It seems astonishing for the police to get involved, there was nothing abusive or threatening in the tweets so I do want to know why they acted, and I want to know why the police told Abberton not to tweet about the visit.”

Huppert said he was pleased that Ukip’s policies were coming under scrutiny.

Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green party, said: “This police action is both disturbing and surprising. That an apparently general complaint from a political party about not liking what was said about them could have led to a police visit that many would find intimidating is an extremely serious incident that demands immediate investigation. Free speech is a precious right that we must defend.”

Bennett said the party’s only member in the House of Lords, Jenny Jones, would write to Theresa May, the home secretary, to ask her to investigate.

“What a waste of police time, energy and resources,” Jones said. “Their job is to investigate crime and catch criminals, not restrict free speech.”

Sunday, 11 May 2014

You are not allowed to read this blog

I’ve written about different things and different people, but surprisingly for a blog (which, let’s face it, is pretty much the archetype of vanity publishing) I’ve never written anything about me.

Until now.

Yesterday afternoon as I was debating whether to continue watching some lame James Caan movie about midget submarines, I was disturbed by a police officer peering through my lounge window. I do live on the ground floor, so not as surprising as you may have imagined. I went to the door and there were two constables there. The first thing they said was that there was nothing to be worried about, they just wanted to come in for a chat. Not something that has ever happened to me before, but I showed them in and sat them on the sofa.

They wondered if I was the Michael Abberton on Twitter and I said yes. Then they said this was in relation to a complaint that had been made by a certain political party in relation to tweets I had published about them and one tweet in particular which talked about ten reasons to vote for them. The PC wanted to know if I had made that poster. I explained that I hadn’t but it had been doing the rounds on Twitter for a while, and so I had decided to see if these claims could be verified.

In doing this I set myself strict rules – nothing second hand, nothing from a newspaper, everything from an official party source as much as possible. Some I could find no basis for, and I highlighted these in bold. The only thing I quoted which did not come from an official party source was the parliamentary voting record. I explained all this to the police in some detail – also that on several occasions I had simply sent people the link to the official party manifesto.

The police explained that I hadn’t broken any law – there was no charge to answer and it really wasn’t a police matter. 

They asked me to ‘take it down’ but I said I couldn’t do that as it had already been retweeted and appropriated, copied, many times and I no longer had any control of it (I had to explain to one of the officers what Twitter was and how it worked). They said that they couldn’t force me to take it down anyway.

I asked if I could tweet about the visit. The straight answer was ‘no’, as this might appear prejudicial in light of the upcoming election and the police must appear to remain neutral. But they couldn’t stop me from doing so, as I had Freedom of Speech. Incredulously, I said, “…but you must realise how this looks!” One shrugged, the other looked embarrassed.

As they were getting up to leave I asked for clarification – was this in relation to possible copyright infringement – and they were very clear on that point. It wasn’t, and they didn’t see how it could be. And even if it were, again it would not be a police but a civil matter.

I’d like to be absolutely clear – the police officers were extremely professional and polite and I couldn’t fault their behaviour in any way. But it wasn’t until after they left that I questioned why they had visited me in the first place. A complaint had been made but with no legal basis. Not a police matter. So why did they come to my home in the middle of a Saturday afternoon? Also, seeing as my profile doesn’t have my location – how did they know my address, or even the town I live in?

About fifteen minutes after they left I received a threatening tweet from a party member I had had an exchange with earlier in the day. Though appearing to be no more than a party supporter, he seemed to know that the police had been involved. I copied the tweet and sent it to the police.

I contacted some people I’d had exchanges with involving this party. One of them put me in touch with a solicitor and a journalist and advised that I contact my MP, which I’ve done. And whilst acknowledging the fact that the police had no right to censure my posts, in order to show goodwill I removed all instances of the poster where I’d sent it @someone, and have not tweeted about the visit or about that political party since.

Nevertheless, the story has gotten out and it seems people do feel (rightly) outraged by it.

If I had been abusive in any way, if I had been dishonest in any respect or if any of the sources had been fake rather than official party links, I could in some way understand it. But all I had done is promote the party policy using links to their own sources – no editorialising, no commenting. And in fairness highlighted those allegations I could find no evidence for. One of the sources was their current manifesto!

Why would a political party, so close to an election, seek to stop people finding out what their policies are or their past voting record? And is it not a matter for concern that a political party would seek to silence dissent and debate in such a manner?

You will note that a simple search on Twitter brings one to the following posting:

10 Great Reasons to vote . I don’t know who made it – so I referenced it from official websites

Married UKIP politician, 70, accused of taking young female researcher to a strip club, threatening to ‘trash’ her reputation if she told and then pressuring her to resign

  • Former UKIP researcher accuses MEP of sacking her after strip club visit
  • Alexandra Swann said she felt ‘deeply uncomfortable’ about Roger Helmer’s behaviour
  • Ms Swann claims Helmer brought her to the Manhattan bar in Brussels

By Paul Cahalan

A UKIP politician took his young female researcher to a strip bar and watched as a topless dancer cavorted in front of them, it was claimed last night.

Roger Helmer, a married MEP who is standing in next month’s Newark by-election, took Alexandra Swann, then 24, to the Manhattan bar in Brussels, she claims.

Miss Swann says she was made to feel ‘deeply uncomfortable’ by the 70-year-old’s behaviour, but felt unable to speak out for fear of losing her job.

 
Alexandra Swann, right, claimed that she was sacked as a researcher for UKIP after an MEP took her to a strip club

 

Miss Swann, a former deputy chairman of the Conservative Party youth wing who defected to UKIP in 2012, worked for Mr Helmer for five months that year while he was attending the European Parliament.

She claims she was later pressured by Mr Helmer to resign, and threatened by another UKIP member that her reputation would be ‘trashed’ if she ever spoke publicly about the strip bar.

 
Alexandra Swann said she was sacked by UKIP MEP Roger Helmer after he took her to a lap dancing club

 

Mr Helmer, who has been married twice and has children with his first wife, strongly denies the allegations and described Miss Swann as ‘a serial fantasist’.

Miss Swann began working for Mr Helmer in April 2012, said they visited the bar in September that year.

She added: ‘The bar was called Manhattan. I had never heard of it but now I know it is where a lot of MEPs go. There were scantily-clad women and they were dancing.

‘It was deeply uncomfortable, but what could I do? I loved my job.’

Miss Swann, now 26, said that straight after the UKIP conference in Basingstoke that year, Mr Helmer sacked her.

Last night Mr Helmer said: ‘I have a vague recollection of what she might be referring to.

‘After a meal with my staff, she wanted to have another drink and I took her to a bar. It became clear it was a bit of a dodgy bar, so we finished our beers and left. The detail is frankly a load of nonsense.’

 
Roger Helmer MEP said he had a 'vague recollection' of what Ms Swann was referring to and described it as 'frankly a load of nonsense'

Roger Helmer’s comment is all too redolent of that of mandy Rice Davis in response to an earlier Conservative government after inapropriate behaviour:
“he would say that wouldn’t he”.
One needs to bear in mind a few things about this particular elderly fool who has shown his age makes it difficult for him to keep up, or perhaps his late night drinking in strip clubs may well be the cause for his inability to stay awake in the EU’s so called parliament:
But then again let us not forget his drinking habits with his chum, the convicted criminal Tom Wise, another of UKIP’s devotees, who Helmer fulsomely and aggressively defended.
Roger Helmer featured in the video clip puiblished by The News of The World that was part of the publicity exposing Tom Wise as a dishonourable criminal:
WISE, Tom 04 MEP
Roger Helmer was elected as a Tory MEP but announced his retirement as he felt he was too old for the job, however when he could not gift his position to his personal choice he withdrew his resignation and defected to UKIP! Clearly he felt his age more suited to UKIP and is currently standing as their candidate in the by-election in Newark at the age of 70.
Alexandra Swann, as a turncoat from the Tories also has he own problems not least of which is a massive insecurity and her own indiscretions to contend with:
as a 23 year old researcher for the Tories she was foolishly caught on camera by The Mirror on the lap of divorcee David Morris a 45 year old MP so clearly an age differential is of little consequence to her!
& her maturity is not enhanced by her personal message on line:
swann, aLEXANDRA 01
Tough a message neither as accurate or as revealing as that of Annabelle Fuller, who I gather is also touting her story around the media though I gather her £200K price tag, which I gather is her aim, is unlikely to be met and she has a very short window of opportunity as it will be greatly reduced shortly due to her investigation for theft and I gather false allegations of sexual assault that led to the finality of tyhe divorce of Andrew Bridgen!
However here is her crass, though accurate message:
FULLER, Annabelle 10A warning that Nigel Farage would have been sensible to heed.
“If Roger Helmer becomes UKIP’s first MP, I believe he alone will ensure that he is the last”.
As Roger Helmer’s employee and staff member stated See: CLICK HERE
This may of course prove grounds, to som,e to ensure the odious, bullying old bufoon is elected!
Already ity is clear that Roger Helmer typifies the long held belief that ‘There is no greater fool than an old fool’ and clearly the attentions of a young woman have led to his acting inappropriately, yet again!

The Great Ukip Racism Debate – Debunking the Six Main Myths

Posted: 06/05/2014 15:43

Is Ukip racist? Or is it merely a party that is especially attractive to what David Cameron once called “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists”?

Or, perhaps, is it neither? Has it been unfairly smeared and demonised? On Sunday, Ukip leader Nigel Farage told the BBC’s Andrew Marr he was “adamant that we’re a non-racist party”.

Guess what? Plenty of influential people on the liberal-left agree with him. Former Labour home secretary Jacqui Smith says she is “uneasy about the suggestions that they are racist and the implication that, therefore so are the likely Ukip voters”. Liberal Conspiracy blogger Sunny Hundal attacks those on the left “offering up blanket accusations of racism” aimed at Ukip. “Do the majority of Ukip voters endorse racism and is Ukip an openly racist movement?” asks academic Matthew Goodwin, author of a new book on the anti-Europe party. “No.”

In an attempt to shield Ukip from the charge of racism, these liberal-lefties have, wittingly or unwittingly, joined with both Farage and sections of the right-wing press to promulgate some pretty dodgy arguments, some pretty dangerous myths, that are worth tackling head on:

1) Only left-liberal, metropolitan-types in Hampstead think Ukip is racist

Not quite. A quarter of voters (27%), according to a recent YouGov poll, say Ukip is a party “with racist views” and “with many racist members”.

Only a quarter (26%) of voters give Ukip a clean bill of health and say Ukip is “not racist at all”. A pretty damning figure, I would argue. Meanwhile, a plurality of voters (35%) agreed Ukip wasn’t “racist”, in their view, but did “seem to attract some candidates or supporters with racist, extreme or odd views”.

Also, Michael Heseltine – who, last time I checked, was a Conservative peer and former Conservative cabinet minister – has said he believes Ukip is a racist party. Jeremy Hunt, a serving Conservative cabinet minister, has attacked Ukip for “attracting” racist candidates.

Oh, and the founder and former leader of Ukip, Dr Alan Sked, told the Sunday Times in September 2013 that, under Nigel Farage’s leadership, the party he created had become “anti-immigrant, anti-intellectual and racist”.

2) It’s unfair to blame Ukip as a whole for the racist comments of a tiny minority of candidates

First, is it really only a ‘tiny minority’? A few ‘rotten apples’? The last few weeks alone have revealed a bunch of Ukip candidates and activists who, among other things, told Lenny Henry to go and live in a ‘black country’; said the UK has a “pro Islamic” media; called Islam an “organised crime under religious camouflage”; “liked” the BNP on Facebook; described EDL members as “honest, normal people”; implied the case of murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence had received disproportionate amounts of media coverage; suggested Nigerians were criminals; declared Mo Farah to be African and not British. As a Spectator blogger noted: “[T]he scandals are so frequent you have to conclude that it is not the rotten apple that needs throwing out but the whole stinking barrel.”

Second, it isn’t just a bunch of fringe figures in Ukip saying awful, bigoted stuff. Racism, xenophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry seems to be tolerated at the top, and not just the bottom, of the party. Why, after all, did Ukip’s leaders, and hundreds of members, “roar with laughter” and “clap” as comedian Paul Eastwood “took swipes at Indians, Muslims and Poles” at a gala dinner at the party’s spring conference in February?

In fact, consider the following four individuals and their remarks:

(a) Gerard Batten, Ukip’s chief whip and immigration spokesman, has demanded Britain’s Muslims sign up to a special code of conduct and called for a ban on the building of new mosques – which is a policy backed by both the BNP and the EDL.

(b) Godfrey Bloom, the party’s former economics spokesman, who served for almost a decade as a Ukip MEP and shared a flat with his friend and ally Farage, referred to the developing world as “bongo bongo land”.

(c) Lord Pearson, the senior Ukip peer and former party leader, has said the UK faces a “growing threat of Islamism” because “the Muslims are breeding ten times faster than us”. He added: “I don’t know at what point they reach such a number we are no longer able to resist the rest of their demands.”

(d) And, of course, then there is the party’s current leader, cheeky-chappy, beer-drinking, ‘regular guy’ Nigel Farage. Asked in a recent Guardian interview whether or not people should be “wary” of Romanian families moving into their street, the Ukip leader replied: “Well, of course, yeah.”

Change the word ‘Romanian’ to ‘Nigerian’ or ‘Indian’ or even ‘Jewish’ and ask yourself whether or not you’d consider Farage’s answer to be racist or not.

3) Romanian is a nationality not a race, so being rude about Romanians isn’t racist

Yes, it is actually. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), in its guidance on “racist and religious crime”, defines a “racial group” as “any group of people who are defined by reference to their race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origin”. [Emphasis added.]

As it happens, even Farage agrees with this definition – when the Ukip leader was heckled and attacked by Scottish protesters on a visit to Edinburgh in May 2013, he described his opponents as “deeply racist with a total hatred for the English”.

Hello, kettle? This is pot. You’re black.

4) You can’t call Ukip racist as they have black and ethnic minority (BME) candidates and activists

This is what I’d call the political party’s equivalent of the ‘My best friend is black/gay/Jewish’ defence. And it is an equally hollow and absurd method of trying to deflect or rebut charges of racism.

Consider: the BNP has had both Sikh and Jewish members. Does anyone sane seriously believe this inoculates Nick Griffin’s gang from the charge of racism or anti-Semitism? Really?

(On a side note, the father of the Ukip candidate who denied his son was racist – despite the latter’s tweets about “foreigners and weirdos” and rape by “Asian boys” – on the grounds that he came home “at 10.30pm with a curry ” can’t be topped in terms of originality – or bizarreness.)

5) Ukip has gone out of its way to reject overtures from the far-right in Europe

So far, maybe. In today’s Telegraph, however, Geert Wilders, leader of Holland’s far-right Party for Freedom, predicts that Ukip will join his party and France’s National Front (FN) in a new ‘European Freedom Alliance’ in the wake of the Euro elections later this month. FN’s Marine Le Pen has said she could happily work with UKIP, with “open arms”, and declared Farage’s ideas and views “very similar” to those of her (far-right) party.

Then there is the Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD) group in the European Parliament, in which Ukip sits and of which Farage is co-chair. The EFD group includes representatives from a variety of unsavoury, immigrant-bashing, far-right parties, including the Danish People’s Party, the True Finns Party and Italy’s Lega Nord. Farage’s fellow co-chair, Francesco Speroni of Lega Nord, has described far-right terrorist and mass murderer Anders Breivik as someone whose “ideas are in defence of western civilisation”. Lega Nord leader Umberto Bossi has referred to non-white immigrants as “bingo bingos” and suggested the police should open fire on boats bringing African asylum-seekers to Italy. Does Farage have a view on Bossi? Or Speroni? Or his alliance with both?

6) To call Ukip the ‘BNP in blazers’ is unfair and unwarranted

Really? Then why has Farage called on BNP voters to “come and vote for us” and boasted of his pride in having “taken a third of the BNP vote directly from them”. Since when did the attracting of voters from a far-right, racist party become a source of pride?

As academics Heinz Brandenburg and Anders Widfeldt, authors of a recent study on the overlap between the BNP and Ukip, have pointed out: “Nobody has a more positive view of the BNP than UKIP voters, and nobody has a more positive view of UKIP than BNP voters.” They conclude: “[T]he BNP and UKIP fit rather neatly into separate subgroups of the same, extreme right, party family – the BNP into a more radical one and UKIP into a more moderate grouping.”

Also: why did the BNP approach Ukip in 2008 and propose forming a pact between the two parties – a potential alliance which Farage, to his credit, rejected? What made Ukip so attractive to the BNP high command? And what made the BNP so attractive to the two members of Ukip’s national executive committee who were in favour of the pact?

For the facts CLICK HERE

Is there any other mainstream party in the UK that the BNP has asked to do a deal with? And which has BNP sympathisers on its national executive committee?

In conclusion, whether or not Ukip is a racist party, rather than, say, a party containing racists, is a debate for the pedants and the literalists – the bigger questions are: what is it about Ukip that attracts so many racists and bigots in the first place? How do senior party figures justify their racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic comments? Why does Ukip sit in the European Parliament with race-baiting, Muslim-baiting parties? Why are BNP voters – and, previously, the BNP leadership – so keen on Ukip? Why did the EDL endorse Ukip? Why does Le Pen want to welcome Farage with “open arms” into her far-right, pan-European alliance?

To turn a blind eye to such questions is not just irresponsible but dangerous.
