Gary Cartwright on UKIP’s Incompetence +?!
Minded that Gary Cartwright was a long term UKIP supporter & staff member – now working for The EU on behalf of non attached MEPs including Mike Nattrass, Trevor Coleman & Nikkie Sinclaire who have all refused to follow the corrupt diktat & incompetent leadership of Nigel Farage!
Notes from an East End Teddy Boy in Exile….
UKIP: Lack of Joined up Thinking, or Something Else?
UKIP never showed much of a propensity for joined up thinking. I well remember: the much vaunted policy paper launches which were embarrassing, with content being so controlled (and redacted) from above, and with the suggestion of unseen hands in the background that I eventually came to agree with Roger Knapman – architect of the 2004 Euro election success – that UKIP should have remained a one issue party.
I note an article on their party website complaining that a recently announced cut in wind energy subsidies is not enough – (complaining about wind energy is the party’s stock in trade). But I also note that in UKIP’s aged and out of date environment and energy policy, the party calls for 50% of Britain’s power to come from nuclear generation. I have no problem with that per se, in fact I contributed to that paper, but does the party not realise the extent to which nuclear energy is subsidised in the UK?
Subsidies for nuclear energy are largely disguised, a matter recently brought up with ministers by backbenchers in the Commons. For example: limitation of liabilities, underwriting of insurance costs, subsidising waste disposal, and most importantly providing institutional support for the concept of nuclear energy. Other areas of concern have been identified.
UKIP states in the article I refer to above that “The whole wind farm industry is a con and is not viable without subsidies. It is wrong that the taxpayer should be paying to keep afloat private businesses, often based abroad,…”
British energy, which operates nuclear plants, came close to bankruptcy in 2004, and was saved by, guess what, a government subsidy of £3billion. France’s EDF now owns 80% of British Energy.
Do you see what I mean about lack of joined up thinking?
But as regards UKIP’s position, we have to ask if it is indeed lack of joined up thinking, or is it those aforementioned unseen hands in the backgroung that are responsible for the lack of consistency, at least in this policy area? I personally suspect the latter.

Hi,
isn’t it possibly just The Farage Party jumping on yet another shodily researched & crassly amateurly presented ‘Band Wagon’?
It becomes ever clearer that UKIP has become part of the problem – sustained by a claque of self interested hopefulls, willing to bully, abuse and lie to advance their own chances of enrichment & glory.
UKIP can not cite a single achievement of any consequence towards the aim of Leave-The-EU since 2004 & before that its only real achievement was Roger Knapman leading the party to 12 MEPs (helped by Nigel Farage having lied to Killroy Silk to get him on board & dumped David Lott to ride on the popularity & achievements of Ashley Mote with whom he arbitrarily replaced him – both of whom he stabbed in the back at the first opportunity, standing by his other protege the criminal Tom Wise who gave him some of the stolen money to settle his debts!).
12 MEPs, huge opportunities & huge amounts of money squandered to turn it into The Farage Party, with Farage given near dictatorial powers & falling out with 1/3rd of his own MEPs as he put in place staff who were indebted to him personally for their jobs, thereby ensuring a cabal of protection from willing nebishes!
IF Farage Quit has he so damaged the brand as to ensure it would wither & die, as clearly there is no one of consequence to take over nor any staff or officers of integrity with any morality or integrity. The MEPs collude in silence over the undeniable corruption either in fear of Farage or pure self interested greed – mostly happy to feed on the bribes tolerating or in some cases actively promoting race hatred, religious bigotry, anti homosexuality, nepotism and the trappings of delusional importance.
Farage built the party, helping others who were leaders, in turning it into The Farage Party for lack of ANYONE of probity, competence, gravitas or ability; has he destroyed the very vehicle that has enriched him, after his catastrophic failure in The City before he became a career politician?
It does seem that part of UKIP’s lack of joined up thinking has led to it being a one man band & irrelevant in the cause of Leave-The-EU moving between ‘BandWagon’ jumping, foolish stunts & crassly amateur low grade or even bad publicity!
It is sad to see the party & ideals I supported destroyed & as Gary Cartright implies, there is still an outside chance it could be ‘cleaned-up’ and made Fit for Purpose.
As to this latest ‘Band Wagon’ it is self evident that ONLY via Nuclear energy can Britain ever hope to supply its energy needs and surely it is better to subsidise success than the profits of the con artists with their ugly and ultimately effectively useless windmills.
I have no problem with subsidy of British supplied British needs – currently we grossly subsidise The EU scam at the rate of £50Billion a day at a current cost of £750 each per annum! How can it be sensible to fund and or subsidise call centers in India & The Phillipines and French suppliers of energy and water whilst subsidies to continental farmers put our bovine interests out of business our pig farmers under Danish ownership and our egg producers at a disadvantage.
Perhaps The Farage Party could be tempted to ‘clean-up’ and start to deliver having achieved absolutely nothing since 2004 save ride the ‘Band Wagon’ of the public’s increasing awareness of the catastrophic nature of membership of The EU – no part of that increase in awareness can UKIP claim as The Farage Party did not even oppose The Lisbon Treaty nor provide literature or trained people to deliver the message – they just don’t do ‘joined up thinking’.

FURTHER THOUGHTS ADDED
28-Jul-2012 12:30hrs.
Hi,
I also thought this posting of Gary Cartwright’s was interesting minded that he WAS a long term supporter of UKIP and WAS employed by UKIP:
http://gary-brusselsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/whats-in-word.html
Obviously he has made many other comments on UKIP!
I understand that Gary Cartwright is currently NOT employed by UKIP or any UKIP MEP past or present but is directly employed by The EU on behalf of The Non Assigned Independent MEPs and has been assigned, no doubt for convenience of language and association with their aims to Leave-The-EU to Trevor Colman & Mike Nattrass who have rejected the leadership of Farage and membership of his squalid money making machine The EFD and also is assigned to Nikki Sinclaire MEP who rejected working with Farage’s racist, xenophobic, anti Jewish, anti homosexual, anti Muslim Reformist Nationalist self interest group in The EU.
There are some who claim she was thrown out of UKIP subsequently as she is both openly homosexual and also a patriotic withdrawalist with ideas (viz: her Referendum Petition with which she forced Parliament to hold a full debate on Leave-The-EU).
There is no doubt Nikki Sinclaire’s determination to be transparent and act with integrity & probity investing a substantial amount of her own money in the Leave-The-EU cause has proved embarrassing for the corrupt self serving MEPs in UKIP’s Group.
We note for instance David Bannerman who consistently lies and misleads has been only too willing to hop from party to party out of self interest and can be trusted as far as one could kick him, having openly stated that if he could get a script adopted (read) in Hollywood he would leave politics AND Britain immediately!
OR Gerard Batten who besides enriching his family uses UKIP to produce and distribute his vile overt racists incitements, particularly regarding Islam, in defence of his own chosen superstitions and religious cult.
OR Nigel Farage who pays his wife £30K a year for her services and banks beyond the reach of the British tax man ‘little people’ have to fund with complex trusts, such as The Farage Educational Trust in The Isle of Man etc.
OR Gerard Batten with his employment of family members and apparent failure to clearly differentiate between his other money making enterprises and his duties as an MEP. OR his abuse of elected office when arrested copulating with a black prostitute on the bonnet of a car in a public street using his elected office as shelter claiming diplomatic imunity etc. etc.
Read the rest of my blogs for many many more examples and the factual evidence to back them.
IF you foolishly believe I am ion any way paid to acquit what I consider to be my patriotic duty in exposing corruption on the public purse – please do not judge me by your values! As to the veracity of my blogs see CLICK HERE
Let us not forget it was Sinclaire who first published her full accounts auditted on line; it would seem as a result all sorts of false allegations have been made against her – leading at this stage to a West Midlands Police investigation which seems to center on John Ison, her very much ex manager who had responsibility for her accounts when Nigel Farage controlled them and whether he set out to corrupt them deliberately to mislead the police and whether he acted in collusion with Nigel Farage or his agents.
It does seem farcical to claim or believe that an MEP might be guilty of fraud yet invested considerably more of their own money than the ‘claimed’ fraud.
Sadly I incline to agree with Gary Cartwright in his implications that UKIP is so befouled and corrupted it is unlikely to be fixable with Farage in situe and I incline to believe his destruction of the party for his own gain has reduced it to an irrelevance as clearly there is no one of stature or competence in the leadership team or on the staff – There can not be as without exception they have colluded in the corruption as not one can claim to have spoken out against it.
Read Gary Cartwright’s blog – check out the FACTS on The Junius Blog and at:
htt://UKIP-vs-EUkip.com
see what a huge array of talent has been driven away:
Then read the comments of people like Dr. Eric Edmond, Dr Richard North and juxtaposition that with the dishonesty, outright lies and criminal behaviour of the likes of Mick McGough, Gerard Batten, Derek Clark, David Bannerman, Stuart Parr, Godfrey Bloom, Stuart Agnew and their ilk – not to mention a host of Farage sock puppets on and off of his staff with silly names to hide their lies behind.
It would be nice to think that the party people like Gary Cartwright, Niall Warry, the Junius posters, myself, Nikki Sinclaire, Petrina Holdsworth, Dr. Edmond, Dr. Abbott, myself and so many others once supported could be revivified but sadly the greed and personal agendas & ambition of the sordid clique leading UKIP and its claque will fight tooth and nail to hang onto their bloated income stream.
But we can but try – until an organisation of probity, vision, competence and gravitas is able to step up to the plate to lead Britain to Leave-The-EU – preferably before its collapse as then it can be done in an orderly manner unlike the rout in Iran and the idiocy and failure in Afghanistan that reflects British political elite of today!
