minded that on this site we have introduced reference to both OLAF’s current enquiries in some detail in December and even long before that, we have also alluded to Russian money in conection with Aaron Banks going back some seven years and there is little doubt Nigel Farage has been a beneficiary of Aaron Banks’ clearly dubious and far from transparent income!
It is a well documented fact that Nigel Farage and Ukip have been funded by Aaron Banks, what is not well documented with any degree of transparency has been both Aaron Banks’ income sources or for that matter those of Nigel Farage!
I expect Nigel Farage to run off to Mssrs. Carter Ruck, as he has in the past, to seek to suppress this story and any further speculation that might give arise to the truth becoming known – however I have my doubts that Carter Ruck will be willing to embroil themselves in confrontation with the FBI, CIA & NSA – all of whom seem to consider Nigel Farage as of special interest – it is noteworthy that Nigel Farage’s visits to America seem to have become less frequent, in fact seem to have stopped.
Presumably Aaron Banks is also avoiding America at the moment, could this be because they fear one of the American Security Agencies may subpoena them? It does seem strange when you consider Aaron Banks has funded the renting of a house in Washington for their use.
That Nigel Farage has been in contact with Assange since 2010 seems common knowledge, yet it looks all too similar to common with Soviet practice, and be minded that Putin was at one time head of the KGB, that Nigel Farage may well be considered a spent assett as his cover was under NSA, FBI, CIA scrutiny – could that be the very reason he went to visit Assange openly at the Ecuadorean Embassy, thus completely blowing his cober and effectively washing Russia’s hands of him now he is no more than yesterday’s errand boy.
I incline to believe Nigel Farage & Aaron Banks may well have progressed from People of Special Interest via Alpha Bank accounts under investigation in July 2016 to actual suspects or being on the wanted list – hence their empty house in Washington.
I presume, with his fascination for Russia and support of Chechen rebels and Litvenenko Gerard Batten may also feature on the FBI, CIA, NSA individual of special interest list, boring as he is. Gerard Batten’s staff may well also require closer attention minded of their aid and assistance to the paedophile Vladimir Bukovsky, whose trial would seem to have been delayed on CLAIMS of his ill health – apart from his sick interest in child pornography which it would seem is not just a matter of public knowledge but also seemingly undeniable one wonders if claims of other sicknesses are a matter of expediency, as it was quoted in open Court that his trial would continue in January 2017, as I recall.
Personally, after many years of close study and many informants who have chosen to remain anonymous despite senior positions in Ukip, I have no reason to believe that Ukip, via Aaron Banks, Nigel Farage and others have NOT been in receipt of Russian money, that has materially altered their political stance – just as USSR funding of CND during Cathy Ashton’s tenure as Treasurer and no doubt regularly at other times materially assisted CND to damage the nuclear research and harm progress and safety on a deliberately anti British and indeed anti Western course.
Be minded that the lack of R&D largely caused by CND and funded by the USSR is directly responsible for the arcane standards and practices that led to the catastyrophic situation at Fukishima in Japan, a danger that is still within little more than 48 hours of catastrophe for our planet if they can not keep the faulty system cooled. a system which may require the faulty system continuing to function for possibly 1,000s of years as there seems to be no cure available! Gee thanks CND & USSR – they may yet lead to our species being annihilated.
It is this level of apparent betrayal and involvement of Russia brought about, it seems, by Donald Trump’s team and others acting out of self interest like Cathy Ashton, Gerard Batten, Marien LePen, Nigel Farage, Aaron Banks, Kushner, Cohen and their ilk not to mention Schroder who was rewarded for his damage to Western EUrope and the West with a directorship of Gascom & oligarch status, that befouls Western politics.
One can not and should not seek to blame Russia and their agents such as the former KGB now FSB as it is clearly their duty to act in Russia’s interest, including subverting Western politics by beguilling those willing to betray their own country for personal gain.
It does rather seem that IF those seemingly involved with and for Russia are brought to book they may well be best served by taking a leaf out of Nigel Farage’s aid George Cottrell’s book and pleading guilty to seek a plea bargain and possible absolution, all be it with an American ‘Personna Non Grata’ stamp in their passports!
Report: Nigel Farage a ‘Person of Interest’ in FBI Russia Probe
Rafael Marchante/Reuters
Nigel Farage, the former pro-Brexit Ukip leader in the U.K., is now a “person of interest” in the U.S. counterintelligence investigation on possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, The Guardian reports. Farage reportedly raised the interest of FBI officials because of his relationships with both the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. “One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved,” one source said. “If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange, and Trump associates, the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage.” He has not yet been accused of wrongdoing and is not an official suspect.
Friday 2 June 2017 10.31 BST First published on Thursday 1 June 2017 12.30 BST
Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said the former Ukip leader had raised the interest of FBI investigators because of his relationships with individuals connected to both the Trump campaign and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder whom Farage visited in March.
WikiLeaks published troves of hacked emails last year that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign and is suspected of having cooperated with Russia through third parties, according to recent congressional testimony by the former CIA director John Brennan, who also said the adamant denials of collusion by Assange and Russia were disingenuous.
Farage has not been accused of wrongdoing and is not a suspect or a target of the US investigation. But being a person of interest means investigators believe he may have information about the acts that are under investigation and he may therefore be subject to their scrutiny.
Sources who spoke to the Guardian said it was Farage’s proximity to people at the heart of the investigation that was being examined as an element in their broader inquiry into how Russia may have worked with Trump campaign officials to influence the US election.
“One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved,” one source said. “If you triangulate Russia, WikiLeaks, Assange and Trump associates the person who comes up with the most hits is Nigel Farage.
“He’s right in the middle of these relationships. He turns up over and over again. There’s a lot of attention being paid to him.”
The source mentioned Farage’s links with Roger Stone, Trump’s long-time political adviser who has admitted being in contact with Guccifer 2.0, a hacker whom US intelligence agencies believe to be a Kremlin agent.

Farage’s spokesman said he had never worked with Russian officials, and described the Guardian’s questions about Farage’s activities as “verging on the hysterical”.
“Nigel has never been to Russia, let alone worked with their authorities,” the spokesman said. But he did not respond to questions about whether Farage was aware of the FBI inquiry; had hired a lawyer in connection to the matter; or when Farage first met Trump.
The spokesman also declined to comment on whether Farage had received compensation from the Russian state-backed media group RT for his media appearances. RT, which has featured Farage about three times over the last 18 months, also declined to comment, citing confidentiality.
On Thursday Farage dismissed the story as “fake news”. He said he visited Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in March at the behest of LBC Radio “with a view to conducting an interview”.
He added: “I consider it extremely doubtful that I could be a person of interest to the FBI as I have no connections to Russia.”
Farage has said he only met Assange once has but declined to say how long the two have known each other.
The FBI’s national press office said it had no comment on Farage.
One source familiar with the US investigation told the Guardian that the examination of Farage’s activities was considered especially delicate given his role as an MEP.
Neither Farage nor Trump have made a secret of their admiration for one another. They emerged as unlikely winners last year in contests that have reshaped the world order: Britain’s vote to leave the EU and Trump’s surprise ascendency to the White House.
Both men credited their ability to tap into the worries of struggling and neglected citizens for their victories. But at the heart of the US investigation lies a deeper question: whether Trump campaign officials and people close to the former reality TV star sought to work with state players in Russia to try to influence the US election result.
Last July, Farage attended the Republican national convention in Cleveland, Ohio, when Trump became the party’s nominee.
According to an account by the Ukip donor Arron Banks, Farage first met Trump at a campaign stop in Mississippi in August, where he spoke at a Trump campaign event.
But Farage’s relationships with people close to the US president began years earlier. Farage first met Steve Bannon, Trump’s strategist and former campaign chief executive, in the summer of 2012, when Bannon, who was interested in rightwing movements in Europe, invited the then Ukip leader to spend a few days in New York and Washington, according to an account in the New Yorker magazine.
There Farage was introduced to, among others, the staff of the then senator Jeff Sessions, who is now the US attorney general. Speaking of his longtime admiration for Bannon, Farage told the New Yorker last year: “I have got a very, very high regard for that man’s brain.”
In 2015, Breitbart News arranged a dinner in Farage’s honour at “the embassy”, the nickname for the house the news group rented in Washington. According to a report in Bloomberg, attendees were “blown away” by Farage’s speech at the event, which was also attended by Sessions.
Then, on 24 June last year, the day after the UK voted to leave the EU, Farage thanked Bannon during an interview for Breitbart News’s coverage of the leave campaign. Bannon, in turn, congratulated Farage on his victory, saying he had led an extraordinary “David v Goliath” campaign.
Farage’s ties to Stone are also under scrutiny, it is understood. Stone has frequently publicised his relationship with Assange and described him on Twitter as “my hero”.
Stone publicly predicted the 2016 release of hacked emails from the Clinton campaign that now lie at the heart of the federal inquiry. Democrats on the House intelligence committee have named Stone in their hearings and, according to the New York Times, he is now under investigation.
Last summer, just a few weeks before Farage met Trump in Mississippi, Stone bragged about having a “mutual friend” who served as an intermediary between himself and Assange. He also mentioned in a separate tweet that he had dinner with Farage, though the date of the encounter is unclear.
After Trump’s victory, Farage was one of the first foreign politicians to meet and celebrate with the Republican president-elect, and had his picture taken with Trump in front of a golden elevator in Trump Tower just days after the US election.
The tweet prompted a curt response from Downing Street, which pointed out that there was “no vacancy”. A spokesman said: “We already have an excellent ambassador.”
The pair met again in February, when they had dinner together with Trump’s daughter and adviser, Ivanka, and her husband and White House adviser, Jared Kushner.
Farage was asked about his relationship with Assange in a recent interview with Die Zeit, the German newspaper, after he was seen on 9 March leaving the Ecuadorian embassy where Assange has lived for years. Farage, who declared he had “never received a penny from Russia”, said he met Assange for “journalistic reasons”.
Pressed on his meetings with Russian officials in the past, Farage initially denied having had any, but then acknowledged that he had met Alexander Yakovenko, the Russian ambassador to the UK, in 2013.
Asked by Die Zeit what he was doing now, and whether he saw himself as a politician or a journalist, Farage concluded: “Changing public opinion. That’s what I have been doing for 20 years. Using television, media. Shifting public opinion. That’s what I am good at.”
A spokesman for Farage told the Guardian he had only met Assange on that one occasion. “The meeting was organised by a broadcaster, they could have easily sent another presenter instead.”
Key players in Russia-Trump investigation

The US president’s campaign team and people close to him are being investigated for possibly colluding with Russian state actors to influence the outcome of last November’s election. Trump, who has called the investigation “fake news” and recently fired the FBI director leading the case, was a staunch defender of Farage’s Brexit campaign and has met the former Ukip leader, whom he proposed several times as a possible UK ambassador to the US. While Trump recently said he would be OK with the US arresting Assange for leaks of sensitive information, he has previously sided with the Wikileaks founder, repeating Assange’s claim that he did not receive support from Russia.

The former Ukip leader was an enthusiastic supporter of Trump’s presidential campaign and attended the 2016 Republican national convention. He also has links with Steve Bannon, Trump’s White House strategist, and Roger Stone, the president’s decades-long political mentor. Farage has praised Vladimir Putin as a strong leader and has appeared several times on RT, Russia’s English-language propaganda channel. Farage has declined to say how much money RT paid him. Sources say Farage is a “person of interest” in the FBI’s investigation into whether Trump’s associates colluded with Russia during the presidential election.

The president’s chief White House strategist, who served as chief executive of the Trump campaign, has known Farage since 2012, when he was working as a senior editor at Breitbart News, the rightwing news website. The former investment banker – seen as the driving force behind Trump’s “America First” nationalist policies – hosted Farage in the US while he was leading Ukip and introduced him to key US conservatives. Breitbart strongly supported the leave campaign during the EU referendum in the UK and Bannon is seen as the main conduit between Trump and Farage.

The Republican operative, who has known Trump for decades, is at the centre of the FBI investigation. Stone, who reportedly keeps in touch with Trump, boasted last year that he had a “back channel” to Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder, and predicted the release by Wikileaks of emails that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Last summer, Stone tweeted that he had dinner with Farage – confirming the pair’s relationship – and had contact with Guccifer 2.0, who claimed responsibility for the hacking of Democratic party emails.

The editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks played a key role in the release of hacked Democratic party emails, according to US intelligence agencies. They allege Russian hackers working for two Moscow spy agencies – the GRU and the FSB – gave the emails to Assange in London. WikiLeaks then published the leaked emails in July and October. This damaged Clinton’s campaign and helped Trump’s, US intelligence says. Assange denies the emails came from a state. In March, Farage visited Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, just days after he had dined with Trump in Washington.
It is interesting to note that Ekaterina Paderina’s new married name is Banks and it would seem her husband Aaron Banks became the principle backer of Ukip with an income and resources that seem far from transparent6!
This correspondence between Ukip’s Press Office, the Farage gofer Gawain Towler and Gerard Batten thus becomes even more interesting:

12 Tips For Ukip Activists from an Independent source based upon observation!
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,
Kent Parker’s summary of the responses and attitudes ideal for a Ukip activists may seem a little simplistic, but when you consider this is the closest almost any Ukip candidates have come to any form of training in Ukip’s 22 year history and the calliber he expects to influence I guess it needs to be simple!
It is clear that some amongst the leadertship are keeping abreast of political truisms with their new policies of populism pandering to the lowest common denominator Malan, LePen, Verwoerd, Tyndall, Voster, Moseley, Hitler, Griffin, Mussolini and the like used the policy before them – it guarantees some 10 > 15% of the electorate will support you – whether you would want the support of this sector of the community is a moot point.
It is however now clear that with the collapse of the BNP Nigel Farage has, with care, taken up the role until recently held by Nick Griffin. The move to clandestine racism has largely been responsible for the rise in membership and support the party has achieved recently – though it is notable how that support is falling back with the approach of the reality of the danger Ukip poses to any hope of a referendum on membership of the EU.
Even those in the gutter of British and EU politics, as Ukip indisputably are, would seem to find reason more valuable than prejudice and hatred when it comes to choosing a Government.
The electorate although having proved stupid enough to have put Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in power for 13 catastrophic years that although it hugely enriched them and many of their clique of cronies hugely damaged our economy and the well being of the man in the street
Okay, so you’ve decided you want to be a UKIP activist but you aren’t quite sure how to start? Well, we’re right here to help you with our Ten Step Easy Guide. Hold onto your hat.
Step 1: “I’m not racist but…” We call this a paragraph primer. You can drop it in front of any paragraph to make everything you say thereafter palatable to even the most Guardian-esque audience. It’s a good idea, if you think you might be about to get into your racist groove, to bring this paragraph primer into play in order to protect yourself. We suggest dosing your conversation liberally with it just to be sure. “I’m not racist but … have you noticed that everybody from Egypt wants to eat babies?”
Step 2: “LibLabCon …” This useful term of casual derision is a vital tool in your arsenal. It is a simple way to devalue anything that anybody says by suggesting that they are all saying the same thing. Remember, it doesn’t matter how different the things they are saying actually are. All that matters is that you can stop them in their tracks by calling them LibLabCon, of THE LibLabCon if you want to add some real menace to it. ‘Kipper: “I’m canvassing on behalf of UKIP…” Person: “Oh good, hello! I wanted to ask you about your policies on housing and education?” ‘Kipper: “LIBLABCON! Alert! Alert! LIBLABCON!”
Step 3: “Free speech.” You are entitled to this and should make sure you tell people at every opportunity, even if they haven’t challenged your right to free speech in any way. The simple reminder of your rights is enough to make it look like they were trying to silence you and to give you time to get your racist groove on. (See (1) above.) Person: “You can’t go that way sir, it’s No Entry.” ‘Kipper: “How dare you challenge my free speech?”
Step 4: “People power.” This rather useful term allows you to claim you are a Man of The People regardless of how horrible the things you are saying might be. Remember – people power only applies to the things you approve of. Any other sort of People People, for instance something you do not approve of, should be dealt with by demanding Free Speech (see (3) above) or by calling your opponent The LibLabCon (see (2) above.) See how these steps can be used together for greater effect? Person: “The Council are minded to turn down the wind turbine proposal.”
‘Kipper: “People power!” Person: “But the local Green Party activists are campaigning for them to be passed.” ‘Kipper: “LIBLABCON! Alert! Alert! LIBLABCON!”
Step 5: “I have a foreign friend.” This goes hand-in-hand with Step 1. Just in case you are talking to some really liberal ass who wouldn’t know a Sunni from a Tamil, you can remind them that you have some slight acquaintance with somebody who isn’t “from here” and so, obviously, it’s all good. It doesn’t even have to be true. In fact, it is better if it is not true, since that would allow an investigative person to find out that you employed them on the black market or something. No pun intended. Person: “You can’t just going calling people the N word, sir.” ‘Kipper: “I have a foreign friend.” Person: “Oh, that’s alright then. Go right ahead with your offensive racist language.”
Step 6: “Rough Diamond.” Seriously. You can call somebody the ill-begotten Son of a donkey and refer to their relatives as Bingo Bongo Bangos and as long as you have one or two friends who are prepared to say that you didn’t mean it because you are a “rough diamond” with a heart of gold, all will be forgiven. You’ll need to start making some friends to be your support network for this one. I know, I know. Friends, who needs ‘em? But in this case – you do. Person: “I saw him. He leapt over the table, grabbed her by the throat, lifted her off the floor and then shook her like a rag doll.” ‘Kipper: “He doesn’t mean anything by it. He’s a rough diamond.”
Step 7: “I agree!” Since you will have virtually no policies of any significance, and the ones you do have will be subject to change on a whim from Nigel Farage, Douglas Carswell, or any number of other non-Nigel-or-Douglas bureaucrats from the Dark Tower Of Power, you’re going to need to appropriate some from elsewhere. The easiest way to do this is just to agree with whatever anybody says, wants or proposes. Particularly if they can potentially vote for you. Even more particularly if you aren’t being recorded and can deny it later. Which leads us to…
Step 8: Plausible Deniability Look, you are a UKIP activist. Sooner or later you are going to say something really, really, really stupid. So be prepared to deny, deny, deny. It doesn’t matter who heard you say it. I doesn’t matter if it was recorded live on the BBC (they are just LibLabCons anyway) or if a prize-winning journalist captured it on their mobile phone. We live in an age where technology can fake things. Deny, deny, deny. And if in doubt call in the Rough Diamond support network (See step (6)) Police Officer: “There were nine witnesses saw you do it, Sir.” ‘Kipper: “Wasn’t there.”
Step 9: Gay Power You aren’t going to be a big fan of the gay community. You probably think they are all sent by Satan to ruin the Earth, or something. But you will need at least one gay friend with you, in case the weather turns while you are out campaigning. Super-powers are super-powers, after all.
Step 10: Women You will definitely need a good wife. When you get home at the end of the day, you want to be sure that dinner is ready, that your slippers are warm and that it is properly spotless behind the fridge. Also, when the press are phoning you at every hour wanting to know why you said whatever it is that you said – you’ll need somebody to answer for you and say: “I’m sorry, he’s not here right now,” while you hide in the basement. ‘Kipper: “Hi honey I’m home! I hope that’s good English food I can smell, and not any of that foreign muck.” ‘Kipper’s Wife: “It’s Chicken Tikka and rice.” ‘Kipper: “Perfect.”
Freebie Step 11: Libertarian & Democratic Since we here at “Guides to Do” want to offer you good value, here’s an eleventh step at no extra charge. You should regularly refer to the party and yourself as both Libertarian and Democratic. If you don’t know what these terms mean, that’s fine, you’ll be in good company. You can tell everybody how Libertarian you are while simultaneously preventing the free movement of people, telling them what to put in their bodies and what not to, telling them who they can marry and who they can’t, supporting taxation and welfare spending, demanding that they require licences from the State for even the most mundane activities. You can tell them how democratic you are, while simultaneously damning every political party that isn’t you. Bloody LibLabCon.
Freebie Step 12: Common Sense Anything you think and others do not agree with is “Common Sense.” UKIP are the party of this sort of very personal brand of Common Sense. Be proud.
Kent lives in the big city, where he has worked as both a photographer and a journalist, if you are willing to accept dreamscapes as evidence of employment.
The Embarrassment of God’s Curse for Homosexuality from a UKIP Councillor is just yet another example of the party’s unprofessional behaviour as yet again they are exposed as loons – just how pleased must the Tories (at their upper levels) be that UKIP has acted as a syphon to filter off some of their nuttier lower orders, such as the pair who insisted on flaunting GollyWogs, or Victoria Ayling with her National Front links, or this latest in a long list of low grade defectors and Tory rejects like the criminal Neill Hamilton and his ilk!!!

UKIP Councillor David Silvester In Bizarre Homophobic Rant Blaming Gay Marriage For Bad Weather
The UKIP Councillor for Henley on Thames in Oxfordshire has written an odd, homophobic letter to a local newspaper.
David Silvester, who resigned from the Conservative Party over David Cameron’s same-sex marriage policy, has said gay marriage is to blame for Britain’s recent spell of bad weather in a letter to The Henley Standard.
He wrote: “Since the passage of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, the nation has been beset by serious storms and floods.”
Ukip have reacted to the councillor’s comments by telling HuffPost: “If the media are expecting UKIP to either condemn or condone someone’s personal religious views they will get absolutely no response.”
Ominously discussing the flooding in his letter to the newspaper Mr Silvester ponders: “Is this just global warming or is there something more serious at work?”
Expanding on this rather doom-laden suggestion, he launches into an eyebrow-raising tirade, quoting The Bible, and explaining that acts like gay marriage are to blame for storms, disease, pestilence and war.
“The scriptures make it abundantly clear that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters.”
He does say he warned the Prime Minister about the gays and their apparent secret agenda to destroy humanity, adding: “I wrote to David Cameron in April 2012 to warn him that disasters would accompany the passage of his same sex marriage Bill.
“But he went ahead despite a 600,000-signature petition by concerned Christians and more than half of his own parliamentary party saying that he should not do so.
“Now, even as Cameron sheds crocodile tears on behalf of destitute flooded homeowners, playing at advocate against the very local councils he has made cash-strapped, it is his fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods.
“He has arrogantly acted against the Gospel that once made Britain ‘great’ and the lesson surely to be learned is that no man or men, however powerful, can mess with Almighty God with impunity and get away with it for everything a nation does is weighed on the scaled of divine approval or disapproval.”
Unfortunately for the councillor, more bad weather is predicted – so it seems gay marriage is going nowhere fast.
A Ukip spokeswoman told the Huffington Post UK that “freedom to individual thought and expression is a central tenet of any open minded and democratic country.
“It is quite evident that this is not the Party’s belief but the councillor’s own and he is more than entitled to express independent thought despite whether or not other people may deem it standard or correct.
“That is what makes the United Kingdom such a wonderful, proud, diverse and free country.”
But the Conservative District Councillor for Henley on Thames told HuffPost Mr Silvester’s comments highlighted how Ukip would take the UK back to the Stone Age if elected.
“Playing ‘spot the wrath’ with pages of the Henley Standard is absurd,” William Hall said.
“Many people around here appreciate a sound stance on cutting taxes and getting out of the EU but once you scratch the surface UKIP is a party that would take us back to the Stone Age.”
Huffington Post rather mischievously, and presumably tongue in cheek, linked this embarrassing article for UKIP with the pronouncement by Nigel Farage that UKIP in the upcoming EU elections would cause an earthquake!
The foolish exposure of his superstitions by the ex Tory town councillor David Silvester has led to several quite amusing items on the internet such as: CLICK HERE and a comedy relaunch of ‘Its Raining Men’ plus the following weather forecast:
So Huffington Post with their allusion to Farage creating earthquakes as clearly he is seen as something of a god in his own cult was not alone in their parody!
However UKIP’s leadership’s utterly irresponsible prostitution of the party linking them in Nigel Farage’s own creation the extremist, racist, xenophobic, anti homosexual and anti Jewish Pan EU EFD Political Group leaves UKIP with absolutely no wriggle room to deny their overt support of racism – just look at the antics of their vile partners:
This Italian MP Actually Wore Blackface in Parliament
Extreme right-wing politician Gianluca Buonanno steered Italian politics right intoappalling racist buffooneryon Wednesday night. In a protest against supposedly generous benefits to immigrants, he produced a makeup kit in parliament and started to dab his face in order to make it darker.
“To get money, perhaps we all need to make ourselves darker,” he told the Chamber of Deputies.
Buonanno’s political party, Lega Nord or the Northern League, are notorious for xenophobic tirades, such as their attack on the country’s first black minister, Cecile Kyenge, for “favoring negritude.”
In the eyes of the U.N., E.U. and several human rights organizations, Italy has harsh procedures for immigrants and refugees.
UKIP’s partners in the EFD political group in the European Parliament, Lega Nord, are known for their extremism, and for the racially motivated violence of their members.
Now the media are reporting on one of their MPs in Italy, Gianluca Buonanno, ‘blacking up’ for a racist rant. This comes after a number insults aimed at Italy’s only black minister, Cecile Kyengea, a lady of Congolese extraction.
Mario Borgezhio MEP has convictions for attacking a child, and for setting fire to the meagre possessions of a homeless immigrant. Another Lega Nord MEP, Salvini, has called for racial segregation on public transport.
Now all this might seem cowardly – attacking women, children, and the homeless. But let us remember – we are talking about Italians here, people who are not renowned for their heroism.
This is the type of scum that Nigel Farage depends on to keep his political group together. Remember, Lega Nord hold the co-Presidency of the EFD group.
This is what our forebears fought – and won – a war against in the middle of the last century. Nice people you suck up to, Farage!
Whilst The Telegraph published the following Video Clip at: CLICK HERE
UKIP’s credentials as a racist and xenophobic party are all too clear as Ms. Le Pen makes very clear:
Marine Le Pen says Front National and Ukip ‘closer than they would like to admit’
French far-Right party leader Marine Le Pen says Ukip and Front National could join forces to bring down EU

Marine Le Pen, leader of the French far-Right party, has said that Ukip has far more in common with the Front National than it would like to admit and that the two parties could join forces to bring down the EU’s “Berlin wall of Brussels”.
Speaking from her Paris headquarters, Miss Le Pen, whose party is expected to score well in forthcoming European elections, said Ukip is avoiding an alliance due to “electoral considerations”.
“They say they’re not in agreement with us. My foot,” she told the Telegraph. “OK, we don’t have the same economic policies [but] they share our point of view on the European Union and immigration: everyone must control his borders, European technocrats must disappear, the European Soviet Union must collapse, everyone must have their own currency, their economic policy and decide in their own home.”
“There are political considerations behind this,” she said. “Ukip currently presides its own group and will try to rebuild that group (after the EU elections in May).”
“If they don’t manage to create a group again, they will surely not find it a bad idea to join with us.”
Nigel Farage, the head of Ukip, ruled out joining forces, stating on Thursday: “We keep getting this every fortnight or so don’t we? Look, we’ve made it clear that we don’t intend to do a political deal at any point with French National Front.”
“I am sure that a new Eurosceptic group of parties comprising Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders and others will happen, but Ukip will not be part of it,” he has said in the past
“As a strictly non-racist and libertarian party, Ukip will be ploughing our own furrow in Europe with parties with which we are happy to do business and make a stand against the EU’s political union.”
The FN is just one of several anti-immigration and anti-EU parties gaining ground in Europe, where many have lost faith in the ability of the European Union to help kick start their faltering economies, and Miss Le Pen pledged to do all in her power to facilitate the collapse of the EU.
“How to improve the European Union? By making it collapse. We brought the Berlin Wall down. I want to bring the Brussels wall down,” she said.
“I expect one thing only from the European system and that’s for it to explode.”
“We have to wait for everything to fall flat on its face, contribute to that if possible, to bring about the project of a Europe of free nations,” said Miss Le Pen, who is already a European MP.
“And that of course can only happen with the disappearance of a huge majority of current EU structures.”
Miss Le Pen has forged an alliance with Dutch anti-Islamic leader Geert Wilders aimed at creating a Eurosceptic block at the European Parliament after elections due in May.
This could also include Belgium’s Vlaams Belang, Italy’s Lega Nord and Austria’s Freedom Party.
“The role that we will have to play – us patriotic elected representatives at the European Parliament – will mainly be to block this federal European Union from making any new headway,” she said.
One poll conducted by research firm Ifop suggested the Front National could emerge as the leading party in France’s European elections with the backing of 24 per cent of voters.
In Italy, polls have also shown significant support for the Lega Nord, while Austria’s Freedom Party finished a strong third in September general elections, with 20.5 per cent of votes.
In a December interview, José Manuel Barroso, EU Commission President, admitted that the rise of populist and extremist parties was a major concern.
“I am vehemently calling on Europeans to step out of the comfort zone, to quit their silence, to not always let extremes make their move, to have – in France too – the courage to defend Europe,” he told AFP.
Germany’s new foreign minister launched an attack on Thursday on “brainless” Eurosceptics who pose a threat to the existence of the European Union.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: “We must not avoid confrontation with populists, nationalists, with these brainless people who call themselves Eurosceptics.”
There are still some amongst UKIP’s leading clique and its cabal with so little understanding of politics that they insist on repeating the mantra ‘ UKIP is not a racist party it even has some black candidates’ – displaying that they do not understand politics is all about ‘public perception’ and UKIP are so unprofessional that they have not even realised this irrefutable fact.
> Marine Le Pen,Godfrey Bloom, Ukip, The EFD & some ‘untruths’! Deliberately laid out to mislead both members of UKIP and the media, it seems!

Hi,
you will have noted that some time ago this web site blog pointed out that despite the much vocalised proclamations that Godfrey Bloom had been removed from UKIP by Nigel Farage it seemed that Nigel Farage was so inept as a leader no one was listening and Godfrey Bloom was still listed as a member of Farage’s EFD Group and there was no sign that Bloom had been removed from Farage’s cult and seemed still to be not only a member of UKIP but still listed as a UKIP MEP.
Clearly Farage hasn’t a clue what is going on in UKIP and it would seem his leadership is so inadequate that no one listens to his diktat, when it suits them to ignore him.
Just who is the leader of the cult for we all know who they worship – their only recognised spokesman!
A GUEST POSTING:
This week in the European Parliament, at a press conference hosted by Marine Le Pen, a journalist enquired as to the possibility of Godfrey Bloom joing Le Pen’s far-right grouping after the 2014 euro elections.
Frank Obermeyer of the Austrian Freedom Party responded with some interesting statements.
“Godfrey Bloom is still a member of Ukip, and still a member of the EAF. We are working well with him, but at this moment it is uncertain if he will stand for Ukip, or as an independent”.
As of today, Decemer 13th, Bloom is still listed as a Ukip MEP sitting in the EFD group, as is confirmedhere.
It was Le Pen’s confirmation of Bloom’s leading role in the extreme right EAF that caused much embarrassment to the party. Now Obermeyer has confirmed that the link is still there.
We predict that Bloom will stand for Ukip in 2014, and that after the elections Farage will take the party into a far right group. His only problem is how to present himself in the British press as being senior to Le Pen.
The unprincipled behaviour of Godfrey Bloom of EAF & UKIP, Nigel Farage of EFD & UKIP!
As highlighted by Mary Honeyball & shown up by Mick McGough, Marine LePen & UKIP Pond Life!

Hi,
yet again the unprincipled bufoons of UKIP leadership team hand yet another stick to the anti British lobby with which to beat on patriots who genuinely seek to Leave-The-EU – Unlike, it would seem, UKIP who are clearly having far too much fun on the Gravy Train feeding on the huge bribes they are bought with.

& From Her Blog:
UKIP’s Godfrey Bloom MEP “I share a glass of wine a few times a year with Marine le Pen”
At the start of December, Yorkshire & Humber MEP Godfrey Bloom wrote an article defending his involvement with the European Alliance of Freedom (EAF), a pan-European political party which includes far-right parties from across Europe. Despite Bloom’s active involvement in the EAF, UKIP has a policy of not joining pan-European political parties. He argued that the party, whose executive include the French Front National, Belgian Vlaams Belang and Austrian Freedom Party, are solely united by their euro scepticism.
However, he then admitted to sharing “a glass of wine a few times a year with Marine le Pen” saying she was a ‘protectionist and socialist’.
Marine Le Pen is the leader of the Front National in France, and the daughter of its founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has been convicted of racism of inciting racial hatred at least six times. In 2010, Marine Le Pen compared Muslims praying in France to Nazi occupiers, and when challenged said “My comments were absolutely not a blunder, but a completely thought-out analysis.”
Godfrey Bloom was chair of the EAF until last month, when a new board was announced at a press conference in the European Parliament. The new chair is Franz Obermayr from the Austrian Freedom Party, and Marine Le Pen and Belgian MEP Philip Claeys are co-Presidents. Fellow board member is Kent Ekeroth, an MP for the Swedish Democrats.
The leader of the Austrian Freedom Party, Heinz-Christian Strache, was roundly condemned in August this year for posting a cartoon on Facebook similar to anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda. A former FPÖ official is currently facing criminal charges for campaign literature with the slogan “Love your home country instead of Moroccan thieves”.
Kent Ekeroth is currently ‘taking a break’ from the Swedish Democrats, after footage of him and several key Swedish Democrat politicians on a drunken racist rampage was leaked to the press. The Swedish Democrats also hit the headlines for recently sending a schoolboy a web link showing decapitated bodies in response to a request for their views on Islam.
Philip Claeys is a member of Vlaams Belang, a Flemish separatist party established after its previous incarnation, Vlaams Blok, was dissolved in 2004 for violating race hatred laws. Recent Vlaams Belang campaign literature included a picture of a white sheep kicking a Moroccan Muslim sheep out of Europe.
Bloom appears to have closer views to his fellow EAF members than he admits. He referred to ‘dim-witted Johnny Asiatic’ in a recent article on trade tariffs on Chinese pottery, and was ejected from the parliamentary chamber for shouting Nazi slogans at a German MEP in 2010.
Bloom also stood for UKIP in Humberside for the Police & Crime Commissioner elections in November, coming fourth with 16.06% of the vote.
May I rermind Godfrey Bloom & Nigel Farage – Bloom as founder of the extremist Pan EU Political Group to which Ms. Honeyball was able to allude and Nigel Farage the leader of yet another vile extremist, racist Pan EU Political Group The EFD – clearly they require reminding!
UKIP members when called upon to support the corruption of UKIP by their self serving leaders totally rejected such sell outs of principle.
The result was a resounding rejection as even Nigel Farage’s puppet Steve Crowther made clear – The only individual who seemed to support the scam was the liar, cheat and unprincipled little creep Mick McGough who will clearly jump through any hoop to make a fool of himself and UKIP when told to by his puppet masters.
Amusing as it may be to speculate that the odious Mick McGough is so universally despised even I can not believe that his presence alone ensured the failure of the scam!
Yet in total contempt for the members Nigel Farage & Godfrey Bloom completely ignored them and continued to promote their vile cash cows! The members are clearly irrelevant to the leadership who are, it seems, only interested in their own grubby self enrichment.
Little wonder that senior Tories have rejected Farage’s efforts to sell out on UKIP in return for either a Cabinet seat or a Peerage as we hear they have, considering UKIP as insufficiently consequential in domestic politics to be worth even trying to buying off! Particularly at Farage’s inflated price.
