Neil Hamilton and Ukip: it just wasn’t meant to be

It seems that Neil and Christine Hamilton, and their chequered history, are too embarrassing – even for Nigel Farage’s party

Earlier this year, James Landale, deputy political editor for BBC News, reported on a form doing the rounds of potential UK Independence party candidates at their conference in Torquay. It was a list of statements, asking them to declare that they had never engaged in racist behaviour, or had links to organisations that might bring the party into disrepute. * Among the statements: “I do not have any ‘skeletons in my cupboard’ that may cause me or Ukip embarrassment if they were to come out during the election.”

This seemed slightly incongruous, considering the identity of the man then leading the party’s campaign for the European elections in May. It’s debatable whether Neil Hamilton has any skeletons left in his cupboards, given the graveyard that dances around him. There is, of course, the cash-for-questions affair he was embroiled in while MP for Tatton in the 1990s – a scandal which led him to resign from his post as a minister in John Major’s government, and eventually leave parliament in disgrace, synonymous with sleaze. There is the libel suit he brought against the Guardian, which he abandoned the day before the trial was due to start in 1996, and many other embarrassing incidents in the years since. Once you have seen Hamilton stripped to the waist, cradling his wife Christine, recreating the pottery scene from the film Ghost, the image cannot be easily erased.

So perhaps it’s not surprising that, as the Observer reported this weekend, Hamilton has been dropped as Ukip’s campaigns director. With questions having been raised about Nigel Farage‘s use of EU allowances over the past few weeks – allegations that Farage calls “outrageous” – an Observer report suggests that Hamilton’s demotion stems from fears his reputation might leave Ukip vulnerable to sleaze allegations. There’s also the small matter of Hamilton’s comments about the party’s main donor, Paul Sykes, at Ukip’s conference in February. “So far, we haven’t seen the colour of his money,” he told the Observer.

In The Times earlier this year, it was reported that the Hamiltons had initially been wooed to the party by Farage, over a “four-bottle lunch” at a Westminster restaurant. Neil Hamilton was elected to the party’s National Executive Committee in 2011, but had his application to become a Ukip MEP rejected last August. Still, his star seemed on the rise. That same month, the Telegraph reported Farage was keen to make him either chief of staff or deputy secretary general of the party’s group in the European Parliament, but in February Farage referred to Hamilton as a “backroom boy”, and he has now reportedly been demoted to a regional support role. Even in a party as legendarily odd as Ukip, Neil Hamilton may have too many skeletons to bear.

UKIP ARCHIVE SKELETON 01
Probably the most interesting part of this article is not just Nigel Farage’s natural affinity with sleaze and corruption, dishonesty & the debasement of the body politic as best shown by his personal appointments within UKIP as with his mistresses, ex or otherwise, on the tax payers’ bounty and his lies about employing family members as exposed by his funding of his wife at the expense of the tax payers, and of of course his personal appointments of some of the sleasiest and doggiest liars and associates in politics from the racial extremists he chooses to be associated with in The EFD Group and the likes of the corrupt journalist Patrick O’Flynn, the discredited and ousted Gawain Towler, the convicted benefits fraudster Clive Page, the odious and outspoken extremist & superstitious racist Gerard Batten and his slease associates, the liar and low life John Moran, the thief and embezzeler Tom Wise, the untrustworthy turncoat, liar and fraudster David Bannerman, the dishonest self publicist and fantasy whistle blower Marta Andreasen, those found guilty of abuse of public funds ordered to repay money corruptly purloined such as Jeffrey Titford, Graham Booth, Tom Wise (who shared his stolen money with Farage himself) the large sum the liar cheat and thief Derek Clark was ordered to repay, then of course tyhere is farage’s personal sewer5 rat Mark Croucher and t6he buffoon Kelly who passes for PR in Farage’s EFD Group and others of dubious merit, including Farage himself.
Even Farage’s close association with and approval of Jasna Badzak will surprise many and it will be an appointment he will much rue after the ongoing police inquiry into the sound jurisprudence of the judiciary, police and body politic in her recent questionable & seemingly contrived, so called conviction! Based on a methodology of which I am all too well aware having been the subject of UKIP dishonesty myself and indisputable false witness.
SWANN, Alexandra 01 & FarageLet us not forget Farage’s other protege Alexandra Swann who has defected after Farage’s personal endorsement of her arrival  who is, I am reliably informed by media associates, is it seems touting her story around the news rooms looking for a serious bidder! Can we expect Annabelle Fuller to finally pull the rug on Farage in similar fashion when the offers are adequate since it wll prove difficult for Farage to re-employ her in any capacity in the future as his friends disassociate themselves from his barrow boy tactics and efforts at self enrichment at the tax payers’ expense.
All above were personal appointments made by Nigel Farage so that as a strutting popinjay the clearly inadequate Farage could strut the farm yard and crow from the top of the dung heap he had crested around him shinning like Zirconium amongst the squalor he had created around him!Consider the claim:
* Among the statements: “I do not have any ‘skeletons in my cupboard’ that may cause me or Ukip embarrassment if they were to come out during the election”.
.

Just who would this leave in UKIP’s leadership clique and its parasitic claque – its NEC and staff?

In present terms it would most clearly leave UKIP bereft of a leader, a position it looks all too clearly that the self serving Patrick O’Flynn would seemingly be lining himself up for!

It is unfortunate that bereft of charisma and most clearly an inept and poor speaker of little credibility or track record Patrick O’Flynn provides no viable leader for UKIP should he manage to oust Farage or if Farage is ousted by his own corruption.

At least Farage has been a good performer, it is clear his weakness and insecurity have served UKIP ill in that he has forced out all who could have formed a viable leadership team of any stature for fear of their challenge or the transparency they insisted on.a detailed study of CLICK HERE and HERE will pay dividends for those seeking to expose the truth about UKIP, particularly bearing in mind CLICK.

Has UKIP’s Hatchet Man Arrived in the sordid garb of Patrick O’Flynn or Is There More To Play For Nigel Farage as he will face inquiry after inquiry as he has been shown to be a man without ethics and with the valuable abilities of a sociopath, so often of value to politicians and serial killers as they ply their trade so aptly and with such convincing dishomnesty!!

.

Hi,

a few points to ponder after an active week of shooting ferrets in the squabbling sack of UKIP’s leadership cult.

If you have not already read Franz Kafka’s ‘The Castle’ you really should – it is so redolent of so very much that symbolises the style and workings of The EU that Dr. Richard North & Christopher Booker extended its title for one of their earlier informative works exposing The EU ‘The Castle of Lies’.

“I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of ‘Admin.’  The greatest evil is now not done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint.  It is not done, even, in concentration camps and labour camps.  In those we see its final result.  But it is conceived and ordered (moved, second, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices.  Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.”

(C. S. Lewis, from the “Preface” to The Screwtape Letters)

So in fact very little has changed when one looks at UKIP’s leadership clique and its claque as they and those ‘boosted’ onto their lists and NEC squabble like ferrets in a sack over the rich pickings on and around The EU Gravy Train:
EU MEP Logo 02
It seems that front runner for the putch for leadership, who has gained most handsomly from Nigel Farage’s current embarrassment funding his wife and mistresses, ex or otherwise, and his off shore accounts and obfuscated accounts and self serving generosity with tax payers’ money whether you call it expenses, income, allowances or more aptly scams, fiddles and bribes would seem to be in the ethic free zone of UKIP’s Press Office.It looks much as if, exploiting Farage’s dishonourable position is a man of even greater dishonour!

PatRICH O’Flynn having acted in the most dishonourable of all ways as he pretended to publish as the leading Express Political Journalist in the seedy and suspect review bar of gossip and internet tittle tattle that passes for journalism these days acting for that most dubious of editors Paul Desmond! Long after it was known in UKKIP watching circles that he was to be rewarded with a lead position as an MEP candidate we see he was still masquerading as a journalist.
Finally he broke cover and it seems was forced to ‘fess up to his double game – ousting:
#444* - The BRITISH DUMBOCHRACY FORUMthe odious Gawain Towler
from UKIP’s London Press Office as Farage’s muppet, owing his place on the gravy train most totally to Nigel Farage’s distatorial central control of UKIP.It seems The Guardian has caught up with some of the goings on as the ferrets squabble so viciously in the UKIP sack of dirty tricks:

Ukip demotes Neil Hamilton as party fears over sleaze grow

One wonders if Farage will face the same fate as Beria, Peron,  Trotsky or JFK as so many aspirant leaders of the dirty game of revolutionary politics did before him or meet with a lonely execution as Che Guevara did in the Bolivian jungle, or as Justin Adams did as a stepping stone on Farage’s ladder – Farage having had his Reichstag Fire moment and excercised his Crystal Nacht and Night of the Long Knives with apparent competence at the time has hindsight shown he mowed down too many men of caliber leaving himself exposed to a lonely death discredited in a bunker of his own making?

Hi,

interesting to note that this is Nigel Farage’s idea of professionalising the party & rooting the skeletons out of the closet and he has hired like minded folk of low standards who share his values it seems.

It is all far to redollent of the bulling, foul language, abuse and chavvery of a UKIP NEC meeting and the behaviour of Farage’s inner circle of low lifes as described by Dr. Richard North a decade ago and widely verified with serial theft of public money, MEP sent to prison, support for Racism, anti Judaism, anti homosexuality and general moral laxity and drunken oaffishness of its inner clique and its claque.

A really rather vile collection of people who would have you vote for them on the basis of an absolute lack of gravitas & professionalism by riding a popular opposition to the increasingly clearly failing and unpopular EU.

UKIP undermine & denigrate the so called LibLabCon consortium in seeking votes yet behave in a manner that befouls the body politic – it is not as they would desperately like to believe that the media is putting them under scrutiny because they are an electoral threat it is that until now they have been of no consequence but in exploiting the opposition to membership of The EU and exacerbating fear of foreigners as they swing in to gather the BNP vote they have become a strident point around which tthe discontent in society has focused to a rallying call berating politics and leadership of any type.

Something of an upswell of ill informed populism with UKIP’s foolish exagerations and lack of ability to perform even basic research as they leap on every passing band wagon or should I say put Nigel Farage on every band wagon for lack of any other performers capable of opening their mouths without putting both feet in it.

The media is not exposing the truth about UKIP because of electoral fear but because the higher up the tree the monkey climbs the more you see its Rse and the media has always ‘hunted in packs’ as they copy from eachother the story of the moment for fear of having to dilligently seek and research new material!

Consider the Times story of the last few days and that of the Guardian – there is nothing new about them they have been exposed in almost every detail over several years on this blog and that of Junius – it is only recently that we are being scanned again for detail – as UKIP has raised its profile.

You will note the story below is a near mirror of the facts we published when last UKIP set up a London campaign office when you will recall Farage’s puppet leader the liar and racist scoundrel Lord Pearson was dancing to Farage’s tune, as it seems O’Flynn is today! James Pryor & his team only took on the job of managing the campaign on condition they were not expected to work with or take instruction from the UKIP clique and low lifes like Mark Croucher, Gawain Towler, Annabelle Fuller or any of UKIP’s utterly incompetent MEPs and it was on those terms that James Prior and his small team achieved the gain in results he had promised to achieve.

You will note from the article below that sadly not a thing has changed in the ranks of UKIP’s inner clique and its odious claque.

Inside the Ukip ‘zoo’: Former staffers describe party’s bizarre Mayfair HQ where people take their clothes off, bring animals into the office and keep a whiteboard naming people they want to have sex with

  • Party moved in to office behind Claridge’s last year ahead of election push
  • But ex-employees claim the atmosphere in the headquarters is chaotic
  • Workers apparently knock off early and go to the pub, while others regularly bring their pets to work and joke about sex
  • Nigel Farage’s wife has admitted the HQ ‘takes some getting used to’

By HUGO GYE

Campaign: Nigel Farage's Ukip has opened a new headquarters in London ahead of upcoming European elections

Ukip’s new London headquarters is a chaotic environment where workers are sex-obsessed and volunteers frequently leave work early to go to the pub, it was claimed today.

Former employees say that the office in Mayfair is often full of workers’ pets, while staff regularly take their clothes off and compile lists of people they would like to have sex with.

Nigel Farage’s wife, who works as a secretary for Ukip, has reportedly described the office – which the party moved in to last year as part of its push to become a major political force – as a ‘freakshow’.

The revelations about the bizarre atmosphere inside the headquarters were revealed after The Times spoke to a number of people who have worked in the building, which is located behind Claridge’s hotel.

The office, which was lent to Ukip by wealthy backer Andrew Reid, is the centre of the party’s push to beat the mainstream parties in this year’s European elections, and to win its first MPs in the general election of 2015.

However, the insider accounts suggest that the new headquarters have failed to bring about a more professional approach, with one worker describing the atmosphere as ‘Carry On politics’ where staff are accustomed to ending work early and going to the pub instead.

One employee said: ‘They are utterly chaotic. I was horrified by them. There’s an element of the 70s golf club.’

Another added: ‘You see the most extraordinary things. Everybody has been out with everybody else. There are animals in the office, people taking their clothes off… there are no sanctions. People are used to doing their own thing.’

Chaos: The office, located behind Claridge's, is said to be full of animals and half-naked employees

At one point, workers wrote a list of ‘people we want to s**g’ on the office whiteboard – including the name of Mr Farage, the party leader who is Ukip’s only household name.

His wife Kirsten reportedly has to send emails on Mr Farage’s behalf, because he does not know how to use a computer and prefers to receive faxes.

She has admitted that the office ‘takes some getting used to’ and privately described the atmosphere as a ‘freakshow’, according to The Times.

 

A number of figures from the world of business have tried and failed to inject a more professional attitude into the party over the past few years.

Chief executive Will Gilpin resigned last year after just eight months in charge, saying he could not change Ukip’s ‘individualistic DNA’.

And millionaire backer Paul Sykes, who is funding the party’s election campaign this year, has set up a parallel operation to avoid giving any money directly to headquarters.

Cheery: Mr Farage has a reputation as a likeable figure but is now trying to professionalise the party

Cheery: Mr Farage has a reputation as a likeable figure but is now trying to professionalise the party

The insider reports come in the wake of a number of embarrassing incidents involving Ukip candidates, most famously when MEP Godfrey Bloom referred to foreign aid recipients as ‘bongo bongo land’ and described women who fail to clean their homes properly as ‘sluts’.

It was claimed today that the party’s MEPs were being encouraged to pay a ‘tithe’ of £10,000 a year to the party thanks to their ‘generous expenses’.

Parliamentarians were allegedly told they had a duty to support Ukip financially, because the party spends around £125,000 for each successful election.

It was also reported that Ukip MEPs gather for a lavish dinner in Strasbourg once a month, with staff at the restaurant Pierre Bois et Feu instructed to produce a special English-themed menu.

Ukip director of communications Patrick O’Flynn said: ‘I have been in post since the start of February and I have been hugely impressed with the professionalism and dedication of staff at Brooks Mews. 

‘The Times clearly would prefer Ukip to do very badly at the forthcoming local and European elections. But everyone at Brooks Mews is working flat out to ensure that the opposite occurs. Given the positive response Ukip is getting from the British public, we are very hopeful of achieving an excellent result.’

Patrick-OFlynn-8

UKIP is at an interesting stage in its development.

A main source of the party’s success is its insurgent flavour – pitching itself to disgruntled voters as outsiders pushing commonsense ideas while shunning Westminster’s polished methods. The popularity that approach has delivered now poses a new challenge: to grow further and capitalise on the poll figures, UKIP needs to professionalise, but without appearing to mimic the “LibLabCon” it loathes so much.

This causes some angst within UKIP’s ranks. Speaking to me recently, a senior member of the party drew a telling comparison: “Not long ago, we were running adverts saying the other parties were run by kids who hadn’t had proper jobs, now we’re hiring people exactly like that”. Others fear constant criticism of some of the party’s more loopy members (Henley’s sexuality meteorologist, for example) risks frightening the leadership away from political incorrectness.

One attempt to professionalise while retaining their radical roots comes in the form of Patrick O’Flynn. Next week he officially departs as the Chief Political Commentator of the Daily Express to become UKIP’s new Director of Communications – an employee of the party for which he is already standing in the European Election.

It isn’t rare for political journalists to move into political PR. Guto Harri left the BBC to work for Boris; Craig Oliver went to Downing Street after 19 years as a broadcast journalist and has now been joined by Graeme Wilson of The Sun; while Ed Miliband employs three former lobby journalists – Bob Roberts (Daily Mirror), Patrick Hennessy (Sunday Telegraph) and Tom Baldwin (The Times).

O’Flynn is the first to decide UKIP represents the next step in his career.

Patrick has always been an early adopter. In a political village full of received wisdom, he has a track record of sticking his neck out.

He picked up the issue of the inheritance “Death Tax” long before Osborne realised its potency, he was instrumental in giving the TaxPayers’ Alliance (TPA) some of its first national media coverage, he spoke up for the “squeezed middle” years before Miliband tried to adopt them and, most recently, he persuaded the editorial team at the Daily Express to make it the first national newspaper to support leaving the EU.

As Matthew Elliott, founder of the TPA, victor of the AV referendum and now Chief Executive of Business for Britain puts it:

“Patrick is superb at spotting hot issues before they hit the radar of the Westminster bubble. His role coordinating the Daily Express’s campaign against inheritance tax culminated in George Osborne making it a big issue and stopping an early election in it’s tracks. He also understood from TPA polling in 2008 that the EU was set to become a big issue and that voters wanted their say in a referendum. His political radar alone will be invaluable to UKIP.”

I remember the 2008 meeting between the TPA and O’Flynn that Matthew mentions. Patrick felt that the EU was harmful, but was sceptical of the Better Off Out position ever becoming a majority view. It seems his research into the subject led him inexorably towards the conclusion that we have to leave – and that it can be done. It must have fitted well with his sense that the people are ahead of the curve, and the politicians behind it – on the EU, as with the Death Tax before it, opinion polls suggest he was right.

While the subjects of his iconoclasm have varied, there’s a coherent theme – a deep suspicion of the Establishment and any consensus it might declare.

Growing up in an unpolitical household in Cambridge, as a comprehensive-educated teenager he took a strong interest in politics. He went on to study Economics at Cambridge University (where, coincidentally, he was mates with David Laws) and – according to friends – was not a socialist, but wasn’t won over by Mrs Thatcher either. Though he showed some interest in the SDP, perhaps foreshadowing his support today for another party that seeks to break the Westminster mould, he never carried anyone’s card – until now.

What could have persuaded an experienced, cynical political journalist, who had spent years involved in Westminster without feeling attracted to any party, to persuade his paper to support one, sign up as a candidate and then go to work for them full-time?

Prominent backers can be risky, as UKIP found out to its cost with Robert Kilroy-Silk. But with a suspicion of Westminster consensus, and anger about the neglect of hard workers in favour of “the fat cats at the top and…a chronically dependent underclass at the bottom”, O’Flynn seems a good fit with what they feel they are about.

Those around him say the feeling is mutual. “He seemed enthralled,” says one in attendance at O’Flynn’s first UKIP conference, “to have found somewhere he could comfortably hang his coat.”

It will be interesting to see how his arrival as a UKIP staffer changes his party’s messages. The tightrope between insurgency and professionalism is not their only challenge.

Over the last 18 months their membership has almost doubled – meaning that new recruits, often unacquainted with political activism or with the internal politics of their new party, may well outnumber the long-suffering hardcore who kept it going for the previous two decades.

It will be O’Flynn’s task to give those troops the right messages to deliver, to help Farage ride out the inevitable stories of activists saying odd or unpleasant things and, I suspect, to act as an informal mentor some of the less experienced staffers who now make up the UKIP team.

With Nigel Farage only recently having undergone back surgery, the trend I wrote about last summer is set to continue:

“For the first time in UKIP’s history, Farage is actively putting forward a range of his colleagues for presentation to the public…The prospect of UKIP developing a slate of viable, effective spokespeople rather than simply relying on their leader would have been unthinkable three or four years ago. Doing so makes them more successful as a party, appealing to different demographics and covering more ground as a team.”

It’s notable that many of those new faces of UKIP – and perhaps almost half of its MEP candidates – are now employees of the party in one way or another. O’Flynn is the latest – others work for MEPs, or in the central operation, or for the EFD group in the European Parliament. The professionalisation of UKIP is quite literal, not simply a change in tone.

Farage’s newfound willingness to allow others into the limelight is undoubtedly a symptom of his realisation that his party can’t rely on him forever. A number of those I spoke to suggested O’Flynn might be an effective successor were Nigel to fall under a bus: “Less pazazz – but while others are full of themselves, he could cut the mustard”, one said.

Those close to O’Flynn seemed genuinely surprised at the idea. ”I doubt he has any desire for it”, one told me, pointing out that he had never stood for anything before he decided to put himself forward for the Euros. But with others tipping him for the job, he’s worth watching.

He may not have stood for election before, but when he finally chose to, UKIP’s members voted him top of his regional list – even above a sitting MEP. In short, Patrick O’Flynn is not an opponent to be dismissed lightly.

Which led me to comment:

Hi,

‘UKIP’s next leader’ is rather presumptuous surely – when did UKIP have a leader to date, though many have held the title, not counting interim place holders,who could one term a leader amongst Skedd, Holmes, Titford, Knapman, Farage, Malcolm Lord Pearson & yet again Farage?

Farage has been either termed leader or defacto leader since the latter days of Skedd, as the party has blown around in the breeze chasing any willow the whisp that might gain Farage more income – be that Piers Bonde, Declan Ganley or The BNP – a pleasant enough personna on the surface but ruthless, devious and amoral in the service of his very personalised interests and ambitions.

How can a person who has prostituted his party to the shared aspirations of racists, extremists, anti homosexuals & Holocaust Deniers as he has in founding and thus helping to fund his odious Pan EU Political EFD Group of gutter sweepings of the EU’s political dross.

That is not to gainsay Patrick O’Flynn may well fit the mold for the title of leader in the future, when he can out maneuver Farage, his ethics seem not disimilar and are clearly self serving as shown by his astonishing continuance as an alleged leading political journalist in the rather squalid Express, even after his selection as an MEP candidate by Nigel Farage – Do not for a moment believe he or any other candidate on Farage’s list owes their position to anything beyond open adulation of the cult leader.

That UKIP was ostensibly set up to act to Leave-The-EU do not forget that in his 21 year involvement Farage has failed to provide even the most rudimentary exit and survival strategy, has no clear strategy nor even tactics to achieve his aims and as even the media have noticed, though it serves them not to publish the facts, there is no visible structure, gravitas or competence in UKIP – Clearly Farage’s endless ‘band wagon jumping’ and motor mouth invention and announcement of policy on the hoof does little in the long term for UKIP and much damage to the EUroSceptic cause in its endless pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I wonder if they have approached Jeremy Kyle for his following and sponsorship from Justin Beiber would sit easy on their shoulders!

Sad really!.

Hi,

it is interesting ton note just how divisive and incompetent the pretence of leadership by Nigel Farage is!

You will note the general degradation of standard in the party and particularly amongst the activists and the claque – UKIP under the control of Farage has always been of the politically misguided op[inion that it is numbers that coun t, failing to understand the principles of leadership where gravitas and the calliber is far more valuable that mere numbers.

Of the 7 leaders UKIP has had since its foundation, it is a sobering realisation that only two remain members of the party and one of those is Farage – The others having left in outspoken acrimonious terms relative to Farage, in the main.

Do also consider that at least 74 elected members of the party NEC have quit or been forced out, mostly citing the behaviour of Nigel Farage as their reason. Often as a result of a style of kangaroo court beneath contempt such as the witych hunt against Chris Pain who we gather was forced out as he was seen as a threat by Farage and trumped up claims that he was supplying factual information to myself and team Junius were used, despite there being not one shred of evidence to back the speculation.

The bullying misogyny of the leadership clique has also ensured that not a single competent & intelligent woman has survived for any period in a position of consequence most noticeably commencing with Janet Girsman who was elected to the NEC but blocked ever from taking up her seat.

Farage even resorted to trying legal action to force Nikki Sinclaire out but lost the case resulting in her strengthened position where it was she who left UKIP in disgust as an MEP on ethical grounds.

Consider CLICK HERE

The list of competent women who have seen through Farage’s inept leadership and the style of his deeply unsavoury cult includes many more like Petrina Holdsworth, Linda Guest, Rachel Oxley, Barbara Booker & numerous others.

Of the 18 MEPs UKIP has managed to elect Farage now finds himself with only 5 who claim to support him and even some of those would seem to be hanging in there in ther hope of taking over when Farage falls.

UKIP voters elected 13 MEPs at the last election but few remain so is a vote for UKIP just a vote to get an MEP elected so that they can then sit with a different party or a different group?

Interestingly UKIP’s own web site shows their claim to still have 11 of their 13 elected MEPs yet can only identify 8! Even of these 8 there is no sign of support from some for Farage’s party!
MEPs as at 26-09-2013
Well lets have a brush with reality!


Roger Helmer is NOT a UKIP elected MEP – he is a turncoat from the Tories w3ho having announced he was resigning was thwarted in his ambition to have his choice of successor and then in pique withrew his resignation and to spite the Tories threw in his lot with UKIP where in many ways he is more of a liability than an asset!

John Bufton has effectively quit supporting Farage & his party as he has stated he will not stand for UKIP at the next election, but it is understood he may well stand for another party or as an independent. John Bufton as UKIP’s MEP has openly stated he totally disagrees with Nigel Farage’s  diktat policy relative to Wales!


Trevor Coleman having followed Nikki Sinclaire’s ethical lead and quit Farage’s odious racist, anti homosexual and extreme EFD Group. Having promised, when he stood as a UKIP MEP, that if The UKFirstParty did well he would leave UKIP & join them one has to realise that neither Farage nor even UKIP can trust this self serving man who so rarely turns up to the EU may well be expected, when he loses his staffing allowances and ot6her expenses may well share aims with the failed UKIP leader Alan Sked!


William Legge aka William the 10th. Earl of Dartmouth was of course a failed Tory wanabe who became a placeman of Nigel Farage’s who seems to have been a sad disappointment with no financial support of consequence and all too willing, despite his inherited wealth, to accept his salary & expenses. In watchjing UKIP relatively closely for over 15 years with relativeluyn close ties I have yet to note ANYTHING of consequence tyhat William Legge has done towards the aim to Leave-The-EU beyond make a spectacle of himself and UKIP by having a tantrum in The EUP when he failed to get his own way – akin to a spoilt 3 year old.

So in reality Farage now finds that of 13 MEPs elected by UKIP voters he now only seems to have 4 still on board and of those 2 would be all too willing to knife him in the back if they thought they might gain his position as leader.

One sometimes wonders if the bullying oaf with his threats of personal attack Stuart Agnew has any future as he is still under investigation, together with David Bannerman, for his boasts of fraud made on camera to Daniel Foggo’s assistant and The Sunday Times.

We then regularly note the oleagenous, unethical and dishonest Gerard Batten makes little contribution of value to the core values of UKIP, unless of course Farage is willing to admit those core values include extremist incitement and criticism of Muslims, likely to encourage racial hatred based on the perceptions that Muslim equals Asian & African, and is a sound cause for hate speech based purely on relative superstitions.
Batten is more closely linked to the EDL it seems than the original grass roots UKIPpers though I appreciate the populism of such irresponsible behaviour has attracted a large number of ex BNP supporters.
To listen to the obsession Batten has with his misunderstanding of the Bilderberg Group members one wonders if he has any role in UKIP beyond embarrassing its more ethical supporters.

As for the odious liar and fraudster Derek Clark, who its seems has avoided jail for the same offence that Tom Wise found himself sentenced to 2 years in prison purely on the defence of his geriatric status – well so far I guess. As a supporter of Farage’s, though he is of little relevance or consequence, Clark can not be faulted as this aged and venal individual has been all too willing to prostitute ethics and his Country for tyhe security of tenure of his position.

In terms of leadership it is clear from the divisive nature that has been manifest even amongst cronies, drinking chums and placemen Nigel Farage is clearly u8tterly bereft of talent as the results show.
That is not for a moment to denigrate his ability, when on form, as a performer.
All be it his antics in the EUropean Union parliament are of little value, as he is seen largely as being the leader of the intermission jesters – almost no-one, in statistical terms, ever sees his well crafted performances, leading him to ever more insulting behaviour to gain recognition if not credibility for the total lack of gravitas, research or competence of UKIP.

Although, by dropping their standards and becoming ever more willing to pander to the lowest common denominator and align with the extremists, racists and anti homosexuals, Farage has raised the number of supporters for his act of cheeky chappie down the pub when his ruthless and centralised rigid control of the party belies the act of being in some way libertarian.

The rush to the gutter has beyond doubt placed UKIP as the apposite dustbin in which to cast ones protest vote in EUropean elections, though clearly the British public do not consider them reliable or a safe pair of hands in domestic politics – hence their abject failure to come anywhere close to having an MP elected and when out of over 1,700 candidates in the local elections a mere 147 were elected the squabbling increased and the vracks opened up leaving UKIP with a showy facade for the naive but no substance for the ethical.

The failure in either domestic elections and serial claims of intent to professionalise have left UKIP as clearly unfit for purpose, with falling ratings and ever widening cracks amongst the few remaining riders on the gravy train, despite the cynical self promotion of Patrick O’Flynn in The Express, which calls into question the paper’s objectivity and ability to report when its chief political journalist is seeking to feather his nest as a UKIP candidate!

The Facts, that Patrick O’Flynn was seemingly bought and paid for and thus The Express coverage of UKIP was wholly unreliable, Were Published Here Ages Ago – Do Tell The Independent, who seem to be playing catch up through their own blogger!

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,

those of you who are regular readers of this blog in the media will realise that this blog published the facts regarding Patrick O’Flynn’s personal interests in becoming an MEP several weeks ago.

This probably explained, as noted at the time, why The Express, for whom he claims to be a political editor, carried totally biased articles believed to be published in exchange for a leading position as a candidate for the lucrative opportunities of candidacy as an MEP!

The Independent has finally had the courage to report this, watering down the duplicity of his ‘reportage’ in The Express in return for a chance of a seat on the EU gravy train and the opportunities of wealth that go with it that far outstrip the income of a leading journalist!

Even now The Independent did not choose to actually report the facts posted long ago on this blog but chose to let them leak out via one of their blog contributors!

The Fight for Middle-earth

John Rentoul

pof 300x289 The Fight for Middle earthI found this interesting, possibly because I know Patrick O’Flynn, chief political commentator for the Daily Express, and like him. He has joined UKIP and hopes to stand for the European Parliament in next year’s elections. Here is the video of his speech this morning to the party’s South East region, introduced by Nigel Farage (O’Flynn starts at 26 minutes in).

But I think it is interesting anyway as an insight into UKIP and the way its members think.

O’Flynn talks about the referendum on our EU membership, which he thinks will happen, but he recognises that it is a huge challenge for those who want Britain to leave.

He has decided to switch from being an observer to a participant because he does not want to say to his grandchildren, about the referendum: “I’m sorry, we lost and I could have done more.”

Then he likens UKIP’s quest to that of Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring. He compares Herman Van Rompuy to Gollum and says UKIP’s cause is just as “noble” as that of Frodo and Gandalf.

This is “not about Little England, it’s about Great Britain”, he says.

Or it’s about a fictional realm called Middle-earth.

Clearly it is not, as I have reported previously, just cash that buys seats on UKIP’s prospective MEP lists, making a mockery of democracy and showing why the centralised authority of UKIP’s leader and his ability to juggle the lists to suit his personal interests shows just how unfit for public responsibility UKIP is and how unfit for purpose UKIP are to lead the fight to Leave-The-EU – they don’t even hold British values of fair play and yet again show just how odious are their practices should they ever gain any relevance in British politics!

For what passes for a professional journalist he does seem remarkably partisan especially having been a guest speaker at UKIP’s conference!
Similarly Farage seemed decidedly shifty when questioned by Michael Crick regarding the status of Paul MacMullen laterly of the NoTW!

Hi,
the light weight nature of this adulatory posting by Patrick O’Flynn would tend to indicate that there is more than a little truth in the report made on this blog a few days ago outlining that we had sound reason to believe that Patrick O’Flynn’s reports were far from reliable and were motivated more by ambition than professional or responsible journalism – resulting from the fact that he has been offered a leading position on UKIP’s MEP selection list in return for supportive articles both in his employers newspaper and elsewhere.

May 6th, 2013 in Featured, Outside View

UKIP leader Nigel Farage arrives in Westminster after a successful night in the local council electi

The spectacular rise of UKIP

WELL, I was expecting it and I dare say you were expecting it, but the Westminster political class really wasn’t expecting the spectacular UKIP advance in the local elections.

A few commentators had predicted modest gains – perhaps 40 council seats. Many others had cast doubt on the ability of Nigel Farage’s “ragbag army” to fight a nationwide set of elections. Yet more thought that once the negative campaigning techniques of the bigger parties and their sympathetic pressure groups were unleashed that the vast majority of voters could be deterred from even considering UKIP. It was all rubbish.

But it is the sort of rubbish we have come to expect. Time and again since the last general election political pundits have underestimated the appeal of UKIP and the prospects for UKIP.

Around two years ago when I dared to predict on Twitter that UKIP would soon overtake the Lib Dems in the opinion polls I had my sanity questioned. Now it is a rare poll that shows the Lib Dems in touching distance of UKIP’s (unprompted) vote share.

But failing to predict the rise of UKIP and failing to understand the appeal of UKIP has not deterred the punditry class from pontificating about why it has happened. The consensus seems to be that this is a mid-term protest movement and that a few tactical ploys by the Tories will cause it to ebb away.

Well as one of the few pundits who did forecast the rise of UKIP, I have some news for my colleagues: people voted UKIP last Thursday in very large part because they agree with UKIP policies.

From the flagship policy of leaving the EU, to support for reclaiming our border controls, to cutting the foreign aid budget, to ditching expensive green energy gimmicks, to dumping the European Court of Human Rights and building more prison places the polling evidence shows that UKIP’s positions command the support of huge swathes of the electorate.

On all the above issues the fundamental positions of Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems are pretty much identical and are unpopular beyond the chattering classes.

So that’s the answer; people support UKIP because they have been brilliantly led, yes. Because living standards are falling and the electorate wishes to kick the Westminster parties, yes. But most of all because only UKIP has dared to break with the politically correct centre-Left consensus that dominates elite opinion.

As it happens I do not think producing half-strength versions of UKIP policies will do David Cameron a lot of good. Having billed himself as a Tory moderniser obsessed with the centre-ground, it would look fake were he now to mount a wholesale move to the Right. His best chance is to be true to himself – whatever that is – and at least get a few plaudits for belated authenticity.

UKIP will continue to prosper by challenging the consensus of the elites on the EU, aid, law and order, energy policy, the human rights regime and the rest. The biggest challenge facing it is the first past the post system at the general election of 2015.

But even here the clever money is no longer on UKIP being unable to win seats. Yes, the party attracts votes in considerable numbers all over the country now. But it also has strong-holds; Ramsey, parts of Lincolnshire, Essex and Kent. A double-digit vote share and a clutch of parliamentary seats in 2015 is certainly a realistic target now.

And before that of course come the European elections of 2014 and the prospect of giving the Conservatives a humiliating thrashing less than a year before the general election.

There even now exists the substantial possibility – and I put it no higher than that – that we are witnessing the beginnings of a permanent transformation of British electoral politics, that never again will Labour or the Conservatives be able to command a parliamentary majority, even under first past the post and that both these traditional political brands are in an irreversible long-term decline. If this is the case then UKIP has by far the best prospects of any alternative of breaking into the Westminster big time.

If it does so, can it please promise the British electorate to remain the voice of common sense and never to turn its back on the beliefs and interests of millions of patriotic and hardworking British people.

Another potential UKIP MEP waiting in the wings? – Questions that Patrick O’Flynn and Nigel Farage must answer

Heading for Brussels as a member of Nigel’s EUKIP Gravy Train?

Patrick O’Flynn – chief political correspondent for the Express – has been the subject of some interesting discussions recently. His coverage of Farage has been laudatory to say the least. Indeed, he appears to be falling over himself to present Nigel in the most glowing terms – LINK – He even spoke at the UKIP conference!

Sources close to Farage have told us that O’Flynn has been offered a lead MEP position by Farage in exchange for a pro-Farage/UKIP line. We can confirm that Farage has met O’Flynn. The MEP lists have also been discussed.

Would Mr O’Flynn care to comment on this? And would Nigel like to confirm or deny the offer of a MEP seat to O’Flynn? And is O’Flynn’s boss at the Express aware of these allegations and the fact that O’Flynn’s supposed impartiality has been seriously brought into question?

This is not the first time Farage has been accused of offering an MEP seat to a journalist. Here is an interesting article by Michael Crick of Channel 4. The video that accompanies the original article is also most interesting. Farage’s discomfort can clearly be seen. Nigel is not a very good liar! You will need to click on the link at the end of Crick’s article to view it.

From Channel 4 News:

In my Channel 4 News report from South Shields last night I was unable to include a series of exchanges I had with Nigel Farage about the controversial former News of the World journalist Paul McMullan, who has frequently in public defended the use of phone hacking.

Mr McMullan had planned to stand as a Ukip candidate in tomorrow’s election in Kent, but then, three weeks ago, the party’s national executive committee barred him from standing. McMullan is now standing as an independent tomorrow, under the slogan “Save Village Pubs” (he’s a pub landlord himself).

I first noticed Paul McMullan’s connection with Ukip when I spotted him at the party’s spring conference in Exeter on 23 March, and I even mentioned his presence in my report from Exeter on C4 News that night. McMullan claimed not only to have joined Ukip, but also that he had been appointed press officer of the party’s local branch in Dover and Deal.

Mr McMullan told me yesterday that while he was in Exeter that weekend, Nigel Farage actually encouraged him to put his name forward as a Ukip candidate, not for the council elections, but for the European elections next year, and the Westminster general election in 2015. McMullan recalls Farage saying: “Marvellous. Go and get the forms filled in,” and encouraging him to join the recruitment process for Ukip candidates.

Yesterday afternoon in South Shields, I put to Nigel Farage Paul McMullan’s claim that the Ukip leader had actually urged him to stand for election. It was an example, I suggested, that the party didn’t know what it was doing. Farage vehemently said he didn’t remember any such conversation. “I don’t recall saying anything to Mr McMullan about him being a candidate.”

Paul McMullan says that he had two personal connections with Farage. He says the Ukip leader was a friend of his older brother in Kent, and also his former father-in-law, whose funeral Farage attended. “I like Nigel Farage very much,” says McMullan. He was the sole reason I joined Ukip, and why I wanted to stand. I joined Ukip because of him. I’m not sure I’ve said anything bad about Ukip, and I still think they make a lot of sense.”

McMullan was subsequently picked as a Ukip candidate for the council elections tomorrow, but then the Ukip high command heard about it, intervened and quickly axed him. “There was a feeling that his candidacy for Ukip would be a distratction as he’d be the story rather than the party,” the Ukip executive chairman Steve Crowther says. Ukip feared their 55 other candidates in Kent would be “overshadowed by Mr McMullan’s personality”. Paul McMullan has described the decision as being “stabbed in the back with a rusty blade”.

If Nigel Farage did encourage McMullan to become a Ukip candidate, it was a highly questionable judgement by the Ukip leader. McMullan has frequently appeared in the media in the last few years defending the use of phone-hacking, both at the News of the World, and elsewhere. “I see nothing wrong with it at all,” he says. “I’d happily hack your phone if I’d got something that suggesting you were doing something against the public interest, like being in the pay of one of the political parties.”

It’s all very curious. One man’s word against another. Nigel Farage against Paul McMullan. Not an easy choice.

UKIP Befouls EUroScepticism with its Associates and its Associations!
Gone are the days when one might have hoped UKIP would act as a democratic and somewhat Libertarian entity espousing we Leave-The-EU, it is now far too self serving for a corrupt clique and its wanabe Claque!!

Hi,

as this blog published quite some time ago the UKIP leadership rigged a vote to arrive at a diametrically different outcome than a mere year earlier – arriving at utterly implausible percentages to permit the Party Leaderr to ignore any democratic input or principles involving party members (Not that that hasn’t been the case for many years!).

It was supposedly agreed that his selected puppets and muppets on the NEC comedy team could, at his bidding, make choices for him as to who would be selected as MEP candidates and the leader could select the position of each candidate on the list.

This was the cunning weeze of the man who admitted to the media that it lacked the skill, infrastructure and ability to vet candidates for the all but irrelevant local elections where the protest vote subsequently delivered 147 UKIP councillors out of almost 2,000 standing!

We now see the corrupt comedy being played out in the rather belated MSM who read this blog and that of Team Junius we are reliably informed hence:

Neil Hamilton lined up as Ukip MEP

Neil and Christine Hamilton are being lined up to head Ukip’s list of candidates for the June 2014 European elections
 

The controversial former Tory MP Neil Hamilton is being lined up to head Ukip’s list of candidates for the June 2014 European elections, party sources have claimed

Mr Hamilton, who reinvented himself as a television personality after he lost his seat following the “cash-for-questions” affair, was elected onto the party’s national executive committee two years ago. Party members hope his wife can be convinced to run alongside him.

Showing that the debacle of Robert Kilroy-Silk’s nine-month membership has not put Nigel Farage’s party off celebrity candidates, the pair could be joined on the list by DJs Jon Gaunt and Mike Read. But The Independent has seen internal emails from grassroots members complaining about being “totally ignored” over selection choices.

To view the original posting CLICK HERE.

You will remember, no doubt, that it was on this blog and that of Junius that the news that the odious and ubntrustworthy scoundrel who so befouled the Tory Party with his corruption was to be a lead MEP candidate for UKIP – Just as we published the fact that Mike Reed and Jon Gaunt were to be similarly presented.

Here are some details showing just how corrupt and dishonest Neil Hamilton is, as supported by his wife:

Here’s a few facts about Hamilton:

CASH  FOR QUESTIONS:

On 20 October 1994, The Guardian published an article which claimed that Hamilton and another minister, Tim Smith, had received money, in the form of cash in brown envelopes. It claimed the money was paid to the men by Mohamed Al-Fayed, the owner of Harrods. In return, the men were to ask questions on behalf of Al-Fayed in the House of Commons. Smith admitted his guilt and resigned immediately. Hamilton claimed innocence but was forced to resign five days later, on 25 October 1994.

The “cash for questions” parliamentary enquiry took place in 1997, led by Downey. Hamilton vowed that if the “Downey report” found against him, he would resign.

Edwina Currie, a former health minister, gave evidence. She told the inquiry that in May 1988, Hamilton had been unmoved by a set of photographs that depicted smoking related cancers; that is, harm to young people which might be caused by a product (tobacco) that he promoted.[19] Hamilton argued the pictures were irrelevant. Both Hamilton and Michael Brown had received a £6,000 honorarium and hospitality from Skoal Bandits.[20] In late 1989, Thatcher banned the sale of Skoal Bandit products in the UK.

Downey reported that he found the evidence against Hamilton in the case of Al-Fayed “compelling”. Hamilton received over £25,000 and had deliberately misled Michael Heseltine, then President of the Board of Trade, in October 1994, when he said he had no financial relationship with Ian Greer. In a phone conversation, Hamilton gave an absolute assurance to Heseltine that there was no such relationship. In fact, he had received two payments from Greer in 1988 and 1989, totalling £10,000.[21] Hamilton had asked for payment in kind so the money would not be taxable. He also failed to register his stays at the Hôtel Ritz Paris and at Al-Fayed’s castle in Scotland in 1989.

On 3 July 1997, the enquiry found Hamilton guilty of taking “cash for questions”. Hamilton, Smith (also found guilty), Brown and Michael Grylls were harshly criticised. If Hamilton and Smith had remained in parliament, Downey said he might have recommended long periods of suspension for both. Hamilton rejected these findings, whereas Smith, who had stood down, accepted them, apologised for his conduct, and retired from politics altogether.

  1. Cash-for-questions affair – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash-for-questions_affair

    The “Cash-for-questions affair” was a political scandal of the 1990s in the United Kingdom. It began in October 1994 when The Guardian newspaper alleged that 

  2. Neil Hamilton (politician) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Hamilton_(politician)

    The “cash for questions” parliamentary enquiry took place in 1997, led by Downey. Hamilton vowed 

    You may also remember Jonathan Boyd Hunt’s book which met with scorn when it tried in 1998 to justify Hamilton’s behaviour:


    Product Details

    It was clear that Neil Hamilton’s actions added to the reputation of ‘sleaze and corruption’ of the Tory Government – just as I fear it will with UKIP’s efforts in the long run.

    Surely UKIP should have learned by now that it is unwise, if not downright stupid, to accept the proteges of Nigel Farage as although he may be a relatively sound performer on the media he is an exceptionally bad judge of character and look where that has led UKIP with his dishonest promises and corrupt selection making such as David Bannerman, Marta Andreasen, Mark Croucher, Sobey Neville, Ashley Mote, Buster Mottram, Gawain Towler, Tom Wise, Kilroy Silk, Annabelle Fuller and many more who have brought shame embarrassment and scorn on UKIP.

You will note the howls of derision from UKIP’s claque of cowardly fools sheltering behind false names – Just as there are many trying to claim we do not hold the screen shots of UKIP employees (in one form or another) attacking and belittling Diane James (despite the clear statement that the media has asked us not to publish them yet and the fact that never ONCE has this blog been shown to be deliberately inaccurate or ever to have made a consequential error of fact!)

Similarly you will note it was first published on this blog that it had been brought to our attention that the so called Senior Pol;iticqal correspondent Patrick O’Flynn would seem to be writing unreliable reports of a partisan nature in return for the offer of a lead position as an MEP Candidate!

BEWARE – Let us not forget that to tempt Robert Kilroy Silk to stand as an MEP candidate in the East Midlands he was promised by the defacto leader of UKIP the leadership of the party – Not at that stage a position in the gift of Nigel Farage at the time but increasingly UKIP has become more and more centralised and authoritarian having substituted Libertine for Libertarian, as a one man band.

Ukip: Nigel Farage defends candidate over alleged Nazi salute
Telegraph.co.uk
Alex Wood, a Ukip candidate in Thursday’s local elections, was suspended from the party after the photo appeared in a newspaper. Mr Wood has denied that the gesture he was making at the time was a Nazi salute. In a blog for the Huffington Post website, …

PLEASE NOTE

I have received, a couple of days ago (21-Apr-2017), the following communication from Alex Wood:

Hi,

In 2013 I stood as a candidate for UKIP in the Somerset County Council elections. I was falsely accused of being a Nazi/racist; in particular by the Daily Mirror. More than two years later, in August 2013, they finally issued a retraction and publicly apologised to me. Since then, I have been going to great lengths to find all related articles online and have as many of them altered or removed as possible.
Unfortunately, such articles continue to resurface and threaten my reputation, despite the fact that I have already cleared my name. As I’m sure you can imagine, this is quite distressing for me. 
I am contacting you because you still host such material on your website. I was therefore hoping that you’d be able to amend the following article on your website and remove any mention, images and references relating to myself.

You will appreciate that when I published the information I acted in good faith having followed the lead & quoted the media – as soon as Alex Wood contacted me I clarified the facts.

I totally endorse The Mirror’s published correction the link to which was supplied by Alex Wood. I regret any distress I may have caused him as a result of my republishing what had every semblance of facts at the time.

I responded to Alex Wood as follows:

Hi,
I have drawn attention to the fact that you were cleared on the posting concerned, which you drew my attention to – as you can now see.
May I also draw your attention to the correction I had already made on 18-Jun-2013 at:
https://ukip-vs-eukip.com/2013/06/16/alex-wood-of-ukip-cleared-by-police-of-nazi-salute/
Having been the victim of near institutionalised campaigns of lies by Ukip and many in Ukip may I reasure you that there is little need to be distressed by either error or malicious attempts to damage ones reputation.
Be minded that your family and friends know you and will support you and the raft of parasites, mischiefmakers and so called friends on the internet are of absolutely no consequence.
Good luck – I trust by now you have seen the folly of supporting the self serving charlatans and scoundrels who in the main comprise the leadership of Ukip.
Regards,
Greg_L-W.

Alex Wood: An apology

Regarding articles we published in 2013 alleging he was a racist and Nazi

 
WOOD, Alex 01
 

In print and online articles in April and May 2013 we said that Alex Wood, who was standing for UKIP in the May 2013 local elections in Somerset, had been photographed making a ‘Nazi salute’. We also said that he had made racist comments on Facebook.

We now accept that these allegations were wrong and there is no reason to believe that Mr Wood is a racist or a Nazi. The photograph, one of a series of photographs appearing on his Facebook page, was taken out of context. Mr Wood was reaching out to stop a friend taking a photo on a mobile phone. The comments on Facebook purportedly made by Mr Wood were not made by him and the police have confirmed that they were not made by Mr Wood.

We apologise to Mr Wood for the allegations made and any hurt and distress caused as a result. We hope this apology will go some way to repairing Mr Wood’s reputation.”
