is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!

Hi,
here is the entirely self serving statement of Ukip’s MEP Patrick O’Flynn as he resigns from his position as Ukip’s ‘economic and media & sport spokesman’.
This would seem to now mean that only a minority of those elected as Ukip’s MEPs would seem to remain unsullied as Ukip members, in as far as you can call anyone who has represented Ukip as unsullied! O’Flynn would seem to have joined the majority of Ukip MEPs and quit his allocated role!
There is no one of note or apparent stature and ability left in Ukip and one may ask if they are all leaving the sinking ship to try to distance themselves from the various enquiries andf debts of Ukip and the huge sums they are being demanded to repay having falsely claimed them from the public purse, as with the recent summ of £80K being claimed of Nigel Farage!
The informed will well recall that Patrick O’Flynn is well versed in the art of self serving actions and reporting , you will recall to obtain his position as an MEP it would seem all too clear that he prostituted his entire career as a journalist – selling out as a journalist, in as far as one can attribute the title to a staff member of a rag like The Express!
Throughout the run up to his appointment as an MEP by Nigel Farage it would seem O’Flynn published promotional matyerial for Ukip, in The Express, lacking the integrity to disclose his ambition and the partisan nature of the stories he wrote for his employer.
O’Flynn is indubitably a man who can be held in little but contempt as a journalist and of dubious ethics as an MEP even by Ukip standards!
O’Flynn was it seems rewarded not only with his salary as a so called Journalist, when it is apparent he had prostituted the job of journalism to being little more than acting as an advertising copywriter fo Nigel Farage in return for appointment to the number one position in the Regional list for Ukip – despite having been an undeclared member of the party.
Clearly O’Flynn is not a man of ethics or integrity and well you may ask what is his aim in this, the latest self serving declaration:
Patrick O’Flynn MEP to relinquish posts as UKIP economic and media & sport spokesman.
27th Jul, 17
Patrick O’Flynn MEP to relinquish posts as UKIP economic and media & sport spokesman.
East of England MEP Patrick O’Flynn today announces he is giving up his roles as an official UKIP party spokesman.
Mr O’Flynn will give up his roles as economic spokesman and media & sport spokesman with immediate effect.
He said: “It is clear to me that UKIP’s activist base wishes to go in a more libertarian, shrink-the-state and Thatcherite direction when it comes to economic policy.
“Ever since becoming prominent in the party, I have argued for UKIP to be at the common sense centre of politics, rather than allowing itself to be defined as on the right wing. For example, I have sought support for tough measures to combat corporate tax avoidance and proposed a premium rate of VAT for luxury goods in order to make that tax more equitable. I have also championed more resources for the NHS, arguing against those in the party who would prefer to run healthcare on private insurance lines.
“Recently I set out in a blog why I did not think a libertarian and Thatcherite economic approach of further shrinking the state or giving more tax cuts for the rich via a “flat tax” was a good idea. But every leadership candidate I have heard appears to disagree with me about our economic approach. So rather than hanging around to obstruct a new leader, I have decided to make way now.
“I will concentrate instead on campaigning for the best possible Brexit during my remaining time as an MEP. This is one theme on which the party is entirely united around the six Brexit tests that were set out under Paul Nuttall’s leadership. So I will be glad to be campaigning entirely with the grain of the party.
“I do feel it is a regrettable that the more centrist approach argued for by the likes of me and Suzanne Evans is falling by the wayside in UKIP. But I also acknowledge that shrink-the-state libertarianism is more deeply embedded within the DNA of the party than I had appreciated.
“Libertarianism is an important strand of political thought and while I have always borne that standpoint in mind during policy formulation, I have never felt defined by it and have generally argued for the important and legitimate role of a strong state in promoting a good society to be equally kept in mind.
“I do not however dispute that Libertarians, Classical Liberals and other small state advocates deserve a political party to make their arguments to the British public and clearly there is an appetite within UKIP to set out that stall in the months ahead.
“I will always be proud of UKIP’s essential role in forcing the EU referendum and delivering victory in June of last year. And it will be an enormous privilege to help see the Brexit mission, upon which I have worked for so long, through to completion in 2019.”

The present leadership election was triggered after Paul Nuttall quit when the party’s support collapse in June’s general election, largely due to his inept, incompetent and corrupt leadership.
Candidates who have declared they will be standing include John Rees-Evans who last year drew criticism after he claimed a homosexual donkey raped his horse, and Mike Hookem who allegedly punched fellow MEP Steven Woolfe.
It is the second time Mr O’Flynn has stood down from his role as Ukip’s economic spokesman!
He first resigned following the 2015 general election, claiming Nigel Farage had become “snarling, thin-skinned and aggressive” because he was surrounded with a “poisonous” inner circle. This of course was fundamentally true but would also seem to have been motivated by his own personal ambitions!
