As Ever UKip Are Fighting Like Ferrets In A Sack, In A Corrupt Election! A measure of the utter incompetent as a leader Nigel Farage was is to just look at what a mess his party is in!
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,
one wonders why whenever UKip come into the open you find that what they claim for themselves is deeply flawed – in 23 years of claiming to campaign to Leave-The-EU they have never had a single solitary consistent organised and professional campaign – they have however consistently failed to have the vaguest of responsible strategies for how to Leave-The-EU ethically within the framework of international treaty law ensuring Britain does no experience massive damage and huge debts.
I guess it is not all that surprising when one realises that virtually nothing they have ever said or done has been professional or for that matter honest!
That is just a quick selection of examples from the last 3 days!

For facts regarding any candidate of any significance use the >SEARCH< facility at the top of the right sidebar. Minded that Broughton, Etheridge and Jones are easily judged by the odds against them and the obviously lack of leadership skills and judgement they have displayed by squandering £5,000 on submitting their applications!
That UKip are willing to seek to profit by charging applicants £5,000 each to be considered leads one to wonder how come they haven’t followed Labour’s lead and charge members £25 to vote! Clearly if Aaron Banks quits as their financier the new leader will have been hyanded a poison chalice as there will be no money to run the party as UKip MEPs are notoriously tight fisted and apart from the seried ranks of crooks who have been sent to prison or ordered to pay back money they had perloined from the tax payers donations have been few and far between other than those who made much show of being donors when it came to funding their own elections to the gravy train!
Now consider the fact that it seems UKip have NEVER managed to organise an internal selection process and/or election that has not raised controversy mainly due to their utterly unprofessional behaviour and corruption – time and time again they have been proven to have lied or cheated!
We have the farcical and fancifull story peddled by UKip firstly that Nigel Farage gave up a highly successfull career in the City when in fact he was just a serial drunk and philanderer who had been fired for his misconduct and to this day (I believe he still owes the money) owes the tax man for his back taxes on his failed company.
We have protestations that he gave up a career where he would have earned far more to control UKip – I think not when he arrived with debts and a cloud over his City career yet today would seem to have assets valued variously at between £3 and £7Million!
We are told how he was a great devotee of Margaret Thatcher yet when one checks the record he voted Green prior to joining UKip!
We hear the myth he peddles that were ity not for him and for his fiefdom of UKip there would be no BreXit and have been no Referendum – this is an outright lie. Neither Nigel Farage nor his party did anything to achieve BreXit, as ever they didn’t even have a responsible strategy of how to Leave-The-EU or what to do to safeguard Britain’s future when we left! In fact Nigel Farage and his claque did almost everything they could to prevent the Referendum – Just as they had utterly failed to actively campaign to oppose the new EU Constitution which morphed into the Lisbon Treaty!
It is an absol;utely unarguable fact thaty the Referendum was the result of the efforts of Nikki Sinclaire and no one else, it was she who campaigned for a referendum and ity was she who put together a team, and largely funded that team, to collect paper signatures in a petition to force the Government to hold a debate on Britain’s future relationship with the EU – a petition that Nigel Farage and his cronies did all they could to sabotage to ensure tjhere was no debate.
Nikki Sinclaire won the day and obtained 1/4Million signatures forcing a debate in the House of Commons in whyich David Cameron’s Government faced its first and worst rebellion, it was that debate which forced Cameron to include the promise of an IN/OUT Referendum in the Tory Manifesto at the next election.
Nigel Farage & UKip did absolutely nothing to achieve BreXit – they even went so far as to split the organisation that was to campaign for OUT, together with their self serving and self aggrandising fundert Aaron Banks.
Now let us look briefly at the claim that Nigel Farage made that he waws resigning as leader of UKip.
Yet even now having said his resignation was immediate he is still seeking to control UKip to ensure his puppet is elected in his stead! It is Nigel Farage actively campaigning against the NEC he put in place and has controlled for so many years, it is he threatening an AGM to overturn their decisions and it is he openly supporting Steven Woolfe – despite Woolfe’s criminal behaviour as exposed in earlier elections. Despite Woolfe’s claims to be a Barrister, which he is not!

UKIP leadership hopeful Steven Woolfe has been ruled “ineligible” to stand in the contest to replace Nigel Farage – after he submitted his papers late.
The party’s NEC said it had voted by a “clear majority” to exclude Mr Woolfe – previously seen as the frontrunner.
The MEP said he was “extremely disappointed” by the decision, and three NEC members have quit in protest.
Jonathan Arnott, Bill Etheridge, Diane James, Lisa Duffy, Phillip Broughton and Elizabeth Jones are on the ballot.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Woolfe said he believed the NEC had “their own reasons” for excluding him from the ballot, but implied it could have been linked to the fact he was committed to abolishing the executive.
Asked if he would consider taking legal action, or calling a vote of no confidence in the NEC, Mr Woolfe said it was a matter for the party membership but he thought the contest should continue without him.
Announcing their resignations from the NEC, Victoria Ayling, Raymond Finch and Michael McGough said in a joint statement that the party’s governing body “is no longer fit for purpose” and called for a vote of no confidence in the NEC.
Media captionUKIP MEP Jonathan Arnott says Steven Woolfe will still have a “huge role” to play in the party’s future.
They accused it of “deliberately obstructing” Mr Woolfe and some of its members of putting personal ambitions ahead of the interests of the party – which polled more than four million votes at the last general election and got 12% of the vote.
“Steven Woolfe is a popular candidate among UKIP’s members and should be permitted to represent those that wish to vote for him,” they wrote.
“To purposefully trawl for technicalities upon which to base a decision to deny his inclusion is not in the best interests of the membership and truly injurious to UKIP.”
‘Clear rules’
The winner of the leadership contest – sparked by Mr Farage’s decision to stand down after the UK voted to leave the EU – is scheduled to be announced on 15 September.
In a statement announcing the final line-up, the party said: “By a clear majority of NEC members Steven Woolfe MEP’s application was considered to be ineligible as a result of a late submission and as such he did not meet the eligibility criteria.”

He submitted his application at 11:35 BST – before the noon deadline – but it did not successfully go through until 12:17 BST.
He said he had been in contact with party officials prior to the deadline passing to alert them to the problems, and had sent pictures, upon request, to prove it.
The party’s chairman, Paul Oakden, said Mr Woolfe’s exclusion was “regrettable” but the rules for prospective candidates, as for all elections, were “very clear”.
He told BBC Radio 4’s World at One that the NEC was put in the position of having “to bend and flex the rules” to accommodate a single candidate and “I think they did not feel comfortable in doing that”.
‘Life or death’
Mr Woolfe said he was “extremely disappointed” not to be on the final ballot as he had wanted to “inject my ideas, plans and passion into the party”.
And he criticised the NEC as “not fit for purpose” and said its conduct during the leadership election had “confirmed many member’s fears that it is neither effective nor professional in the way it governs the party”.

“They have failed to accept that there were serious issues with the application system despite providing evidence that attempts of submission were made before the deadline. The NEC deny this is the fault of the UKIP system.
“Furthermore, highly confidential information about me held in party documents has been leaked to the press and the NEC has not sought to investigate this gross breach of privacy,” he added.
‘Life and death’
Mr McGough – who has resigned from the NEC – said Mr Woolfe’s exclusion from the contest was “unfair” and called into the question the party’s future.
Unless the party elected a “competent leader who was comfortable with the media, it was finished”, he told World at One. “This is a fight for survival. It is life or death.”
BBC political correspondent Tom Bateman said the NEC’s decision “opens up a whole new schism in UKIP” and he understood that Mr Farage could call an emergency meeting of the party membership to put pressure on the body to reconsider.

Mr Oakden, who only took over as party chairman this week, said the party was perfectly entitled to call an EGM if 25% of its branches backed the move but said talk of a potential split was over-exaggerated and the remaining contenders were a diverse and exciting group.
MEP Ms James – now regarded as the favourite in the contest – has launched her own campaign website while Mr Arnott, an MEP for the north east of England, has said he was won the backing of the party’s deputy leader Paul Nuttall.
Of the other candidates, Mr Etheridge is also a member of European Parliament while Lisa Duffy is a councillor in Cambridgeshire. Both Ms Jones and Mr Broughton have stood as candidates in recent parliamentary elections.

Ukip’s Steven Woolfe is being investigated for electoral fraud just days after he was expelled from the party’s leadership race.
Mr Woolfe, the party’s migration spokesman, is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police over claims he did not declare a conviction for drink driving when he stood for the role of Police and Crime Commissioner in 2012.
The force has received a complaint about Mr Woolfe’s 2002 conviction which would have barred him from standing for the role in 2012.
Mr Woolfe said he “forgot about the conviction” when he stood in the Greater Manchester PCC election in 2012.

Mr Woolfe had been tipped to become the frontrunner in Ukip’s leadership campaign after impressing since becoming an MEP for the North West in 2014 CLICK HERE
But the 48-year-old former lawyer missed the nomination deadline by 17 minutes.
He was barred from standing after he submitted his application to become a candidate after the official deadline and has faced claims that he had failed to keep up his membership.
Mr Woolfe said he “forgot about the conviction” when he stood in the Greater Manchester PCC election in 2012, in a possible breach of electoral law.
Supporters of Mr Woolfe, who stood for Parliament in Stockport last year but finished third, have reacted angrily.
Mr Woolfe had indicated that he would focus Ukip on becoming a party for social mobility, in a direct targeting of Labour’s core voters, particularly in northern heartlands.
“The one thing I can say to the people of the North and the Midlands who voted Brexit and who are tired of the Labour Party leaving them behind, Ukip is now the party for you and your new home,” Woolfe told IBT.
“We did it for immigration, we did it for the referendum and now we’re going to do it for social mobility too.”
Ukip has been riven by in-fighting as rival factions battle to secure control of the party.
Nigel Farage has attacked NEC members as “among the lowest grade of people I have ever met” and has long been at odds with Douglas Carswell, the party’s only MP, and Neil Hamilton, its leader in the Welsh Assembly.
Former deputy chairwoman Suzanne Evans, who was suspended from the party earlier this year after repeated clashes with Mr Farage, said Mr Woolfe is “probably ineligible”.
Mr Farage, who announced he was quitting after the Leave victory in the EU referendum, said Ukip members should vote for the candidate who will best represent the party “on the big media stages” and around the country.
He urged his successor to “bypass” the NEC, claiming the governing body contains “total amateurs” who have acted as a “barrier to radical change and modernisation”.
Comment | Steven Woolfe on his Ukip leadership expulsion
“I am extremely disappointed by the UKIP NEC decision to exclude me from the party’s leadership election.
“Having been a committed member of UKIP, standing for the party in multiple elections, acting as a spokesman at the highest level, I wanted to take this opportunity to stand for Leader to inject my ideas, plans and passion into the party.
“Over the course of this leadership election, the NEC has proven it is not fit for purpose and it confirmed many member’s fears that it is neither effective nor professional in the way it governs the party.
“The NEC panel have even accepted that they were wrong to raise questions of my membership of the party, as I have been a full member since 2011. They did not identify my payments in the UKIP records until I showed them my own bank statements. After providing evidence of the payments and donations I have made to the party, they were satisfied this was not an issue.
“They have failed to accept that there were serious issues with the application system despite providing evidence that attempts of submission were made before the deadline. The NEC deny this is the fault of the UKIP system.
“Furthermore, highly confidential information about me held in party documents has been leaked to the press and the NEC has not sought to investigate this gross breach of privacy.
“The NEC’s treatment of Nathan Gill over the past two weeks has also been totally unacceptable.
“Nathan is a decent and honest man, who has been in the party longer than many NEC members. He, as the leader of UKIP in Wales, led the party to victories for seven Welsh assembly members in May. His dedication to the party knows no bounds. Wales voted to leave the EU and it deserves a Eurosceptic voice in Brussels to represent the people, as the renegotiation moves ahead.
“If I were on the ballot, I would have fought to reform the internal structure of UKIP including the NEC. UKIP must professionalise and it cannot do that with an unfit NEC.
“Over the course of the past two weeks, my office and I have received thousands of messages of support from members.
“To every single one of them and all of those who have helped to support my campaign, I say a huge thank you.
“Although I am out of the contest I wish the other candidates well and hope they can show UKIP has a positive, inclusive, patriotic vision for Britain.”
Do note that Jonathan Arnott has absolutely no experience of leadership having been a maths teacher in a tiny private school with, as I recall 140 pupils of all ages, even as an MEP he has been all but invisible and undeniably irrelevant.
Jones & Broughton are both also rqans having no profile beyond having stood in elections and failed utterly.
Duffy has doner the rounds in the party but has only been noticeable for her spectacular failure during the time she was in charge of UKip Yoof!
Etheridge is best known for his racist behaviour and utterances regarding Gololiwogs, which saw him thrown out of the Tory Party, and having separated from his disabled wife as soon as he had squirmed his way in as a UKip MEP.
Diane James lays claim to having 30 years experience in Health Care but may be confusing herself with an American born woman of the same name!
As for Woolfe’s clai9m to be a Barrister – he may well have trained as one but I can find no record of any of his cases and he is most deffinitly not on the official list, which is open to public scrutiny, his criminal convicton may have something to do with his absence in the public record! Something else he may well have forgotten! As I recall when first he came to prominence in UKip he was a failed Compliance Officer in a Financial Services organisation – failed in that he had lost his job!
Situation normal UKip are in an utterly unprofessional, corrupt and dishonest squabbling mess!

Ukip’s Stuart Parr, of ‘Blogger4Ukip’, is exposed as Dishonest & corrupt YET AGAIN
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~
.
Hi,you will have notedf that I have exposedthe odious little Stuart Parr, several times, on this web site, so also has ‘Junius’, as at CLICK HERE.
Below you will note that Tim Fenton has, like others, chosen his own examples to expose the lies and dishonesty of the odious little Stuart Parr, one of the most regular bloggers over the years for and on behalf of Ukip.
Stuart Parr’s lies have, over the years, been recognised as officially on behalf of Ukip as shown by the fact that Ukip have regularly linked to his site from the official Ukip web site.
It seems Ukip are happy to have Stuart Parr befoul their name with his vituperative and odious distortions and outright lies, as I for one have NEVER seen his behaviour denounced by Ukip, this reflects very badly on Ukip and shows all too well why they are undeniably unfit for office representing Britain and its citizens.

UKIP – Propaganda Arm Busted
[Update at end of post] Being a supporter of Nigel “Thirsty” Farage and his fellow saloon bar propper-uppers at UKIP means, it seems, being unable to take anything that looks like criticism without resorting to forthright dishonesty. This can be seen clearly in the response ofBloggers 4 UKIP, which claims to be “The independent voice of the UK Independence Party” to the Channel 4 docu-dramaUKIP: The First Hundred Days.
Squeaky paranoid dishonesty finger up the bum time
The scale of this dishonesty is staggering; to lie on this scale suggests a combination of blind faith and disregard for reality far beyond even the worst excesses of the Fourth Estate. Consider this paragraph – and the actual facts.
“Channel 4 have openly admitted to the programme being biased [not true] and says that they have no obligation – even as a taxpayer-funded [Channel 4 is not taxpayer-funded] public service broadcaster – to show balance until the restricted period for the election starts in May [it starts in March]. Not that balance is anything Channel 4 could be accused of, of course – they aren’t just funded by the UK taxpayer [they aren’t funded by the UK taxpayer at all], they’re also funded by the EU [they aren’t funded by the EU, either] and an active member of the European Broadcasting Union, the EU quango [the EBU has no connection to the EU] responsible for the farcical Eurovision Song Contest. Nor could you expect balance from RAW who are funded by Creative Europe [there is no evidence to back up this assertion], part of the EU Commission [Creative Europe is not part of an ‘EU Commission’, mainly because there is no such thing as an ‘EU Commission’]“. See also HERE and HERE.
And, as the man said, there’s more. It is claimed that “Channel 4 refused to let UKIP see this programme in advance”. The reality is that “Farage had been invited to watch it before it was broadcast and then to do an interview afterwards but he declined”. Anyone still reading is told “Channel 4 is part funded by the BBC television tax”, which it is not.
Both Channel 4 and the BBC are described as “liberal left wing to the core”, and readers are told that these organisations are home to “public school education [sic], Guardian reading vegans”, which will be news to all those who supply catering to them. Having dispensed its falsehood, the post concludes threateningly “Perhaps UKIP needs to extend its scrutiny of the BBC to Channel 4 when formulating policy on the TV licence and the future of state broadcasters”.
As Channel 4 is not a “state broadcaster”, that kind of threat is irrelevant, as UKIP is increasingly becoming, with its poll ratings steadily falling. What the Kippers’ propaganda arm will do when the General Election campaign turns serious, and it really does get dirty, can only be imagined. Perhaps Bloggers 4 UKIP will spontaneously combust under the combination of paranoia and prejudice.
Now that could be worth waiting for – unlike the content of its outbursts.
[UPDATE 19 February 0940 hours: as can be seen in the comments, one Stuart Parr, who is a councillor in the Telford area, has taken grave exception to this post and told me that an apology is required.
Sadly for him, the Bloggers 4 Ukip hatchet job which he cites is so laughably amateurish that there will be no apology, merely the sound of derisive laughter.
That post alleges that I am known to the Police – which would be news to both them, and me – then proceeds to further allege that I have been involved in stalking and harassment (both untrue, and equally defamatory), and alleges that I had a dispute with the editors of the Spectator magazine.
There is only one editor of the Spectator, Fraser Nelson, and he and I have never had a dispute.
But when Parr – I assume it is he behind the latest Bloggers 4 Ukip pack of lies – then uses David Icke’s website as a reliable citation, he really does sell the pass.
Stuart Parr can shove his demand for an apology. He would be better advised getting help for the advanced state of Euro-paranoia which he demonstrates. Zelo Street will continue to pass comment on the Kippers, whether they like it or not]

Of the bodies mentioned in the article the only one funded directly by the EU is UKIP, as a result of their barefaced flouting of European Parliament party-funding rules. The kippers take as much money as they can get their grubby mitts on from the European Parliament and then use it as a cash-cow to fund their party in the UK.
also, when iy comes to transparency of all those think tanks espousing anti-european “research”, here is a study on their funding transparencyhttps://euobserver.com/justice/127685
Your highly entertaining – and defamatory – post only goes to show the intellectual deficit on Planet UKIP.I am not known to the Police, have never had a dispute with the Spectator, and if the best you can do is quote from David Icke’s website, that merely underscores your detachment from reality.
Bot good to see that UKIP smears and lies before engaging. You make my case for me.
Is this, perchance, the same Stuart Parr who effortlessly leaped from being all Lib Dem to being a cheerleader for the EDL? Sadly, the text of that has disappeared, and his The Insane Ramblings of Wonko the Sane blog now returns a 404 notification. On the other hand, the essential drivel is preserved by Junius on UKIP
A curiously authoritarian stance from the allegedly “libertarian” party that proclaims itself a supporter of free speech. It seems the more UKIP come under criticism the more they show their true colours.Keep up the good work Tim
Hi,for the record Stuart Parr has a long and consistent record of vituperative corrupt and dishonest postings and to be fair to Ukip he has never risen above being one of their candidates, when scraping the barrel for Town Councillors.You will note that Ukip’s cult followers are of a staggeringly low caliber even amongst the dross they have as MEPs.
The greatest problem they have and why Ukip are more an embarrassment than an asset to the EUroSceptic movement is their intellectual dirth, lack of gravitas and propensity for dishonesty, inaccuracy and self serving populist band wagon jumping.
For a huge amount of further proven facts do visit my Ukip-vs-EUkip.com web site.
Hi,‘Anonymous’ glibly uses the word ‘Libertarian’ in relation to Ukip – They are NOT Libertarian as a party they are a one man cult centrally controlled in an authoritarian manner by Nigel Farage – who makes absolutely all appointments of any consequence.Ukip has little understanding of Libertarian and have seemingly ditched it for more libertine behaviour.
Whilst on the subject of ‘Libertarian’: A young lad proclaimed to his mother he was going to be a Libertarian when he grew up. Mother having rather more experience replied ‘Well you can’t do both’!

By Nicola Harley
3:52PM GMT 20 Dec 2014
Ukip is banning the unauthorised use of its logo on social media sites following a number of gaffes and offensive comments by its members.
The party said people will only be allowed to use the logo with “express written consent” from its leadership.
Ukip’s chairman Steve Crowther warned members thinking about using Twitter: “My advice: just don’t.”
The disclosure, made by the Observer, came as the party faced embarassment over a Christmas message printed in a newspaper which said “Say No to the UK!”.
The message, which was presumed to have mistakenly included “UK” in place of “EU”, was printed by Ukip’ Rotherham branch in a local paper.
It follows a number of incidents where members have posted inappropriate tweets.
William Henwood, a Ukip candidate in Enfield, tweeted about Lenny Henry saying he should emigrate to a “black country” and does “not have to live with whites”.
Ukip member Andre Lampitt, who starred in one of the party’s promotional videos, was suspended after he called Ed Miliband “not British”, said Africans should “kill themselves off”, Islam is “evil” and Nigerians are “bad people”,
In the latest scandal, Kerry Smith, a Ukip parliamentary candidate, was recorded making remarks about homosexuals and Chinese people.
Nigel Farage described him as a “rough diamond”.
Ukip’s national executive council has threatened to suspend members who embarrass the party under new rules it has introduced governing their use of social media sites.
According to the Observer, the new rules state “party members shall refrain from using the Ukip logo in terms of their online postings, including avatars, unless they have express written consent to do so from the party leader, the party chairman, the party secretary, the general secretary, the party director, the regional chairman or regional organiser for their region.”
Writing in the Ukip members’ magazine, Mr Crowther said: “The NEC has adopted a new set of rules for online communication to fill a notable hole in our code of discipline … My advice: just don’t. Remember life before you could delight the whole world with your every passing thought? It wasn’t so bad, was it? I have no Facebook page, Twitter account or Instagram thingy. It’s lovely.”
A spokesman for Ukip claimed the move is also to prevent imposters using the logo by setting up fake accounts.
Clearly for as long as Ukip parades liars, cheats and dishonest pond life like Mark Croucher as it’s spokesmen the party can hardly be seen to be credible. Little wonder with such excrement still involved that the party attracts such poor press and is not trusted in domestic politics.
A clear example of this odious little man’s dishonest and deliberate damage is that he makes much of not using social media yet he has a string of false names and blogs posting lies, fantasy and dishonest spin and publishing vile slurs against individuals both on blogs and on various forums!
I concede it is of course a measure of an organisation that inept leadership may attract competent individuals but as can be seen with Ukip it is unable to hang onto decent members and supporters as it weeds out those who may prove a challenge or have gravitas that may outshine those in control – read between the lines the articles in the media tyhat so frequently allude to or report the internal squabblings and constant changing of policies and personnel to scrape the bottom of the political barrel for its followers and friend.
In the article above it is all too clear that in something of a panic Ukip has been exposed displaying the fact that despite its much vaunted claims of being Libertarian it finds itself in the embarrassing position thaty it must make laws for its members not to promote its logo as all too many of them are louche and libertine and can not be expected to do other than bring shame on the logo.
>GP – RN: Richard North gives A Personalised Example Of Ukip’s Endemic Corruption and shows just how long and how widely the corruption has existed in Ukip.
.
~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

Hi,
further to m,y post regarding this widely covered presentation of Ukip’s endemic corruption CLICK HERE, which was in both the blogosphere and the legacy media,
Richard North has shown there is nothing new about this Ukip corruption of basic democratic principles and their unethical rigging of selection processes and elections, both internally as a party and thus corrupting UK elections, North has given details of his own direct experience and then the desperate and dishonest efforts of Ukip to try to belittle and denigrate his factual reporting of such matters.
The trouble with doing reviews of Times pieces is that they are behind the paywall, so you can’t just link to them and rely on the reader to click-through to get the details, thereby only having to publish the bare bones of the story. You have to post virtually the whole thing, which sometimes means giving more emphasis to a story than it merits.
This would have been the case with this not very important story, albeit on the front page (above). It’s about UKIP rigging their own selection procedures for MEP candidates. Fortunately, though, the Independenthas run it, which means I don’t have to go into the detail.
The reason I needed to mention it at all is to make a quick point, as part of a more general piece about Ukip, correcting what appears to be a standard attack briefing that party supporters use to libel me on comment threads, in a usually forlorn attempt at character assassination.
The claim is made that I resigned the party “before I was pushed”, after the election of Godfrey Bloom as Yorkshire Region MEP in 2004. To stop this falsehood spreading it, I have to rebut it. In fact, I resigned in 2003, in protest at the way the selection procedure had been rigged, and the way Farage, with the complicity of David Lott, then party chairman, quite deliberately blocked the appeal which could have set aside this selection and put me in pole position.
It is the case, therefore, that Ukip has been rigging its selection processes for many years, which partly explains why so many of the current batch of MEPs are such dross. Any such assertion from me, though, brings forward the accusation that I hold a “grudge” against The Dear Leader – so it is useful to have the legacy media detail other examples of rigged selection – doubtless because it too has a “grudge”.
Actually, no one who knows me would ever suggest that I had such a base relationship with a man with whom I shared a desk for four years, and for whom I wrote speeches. Life is far too short. And even if I had become a Ukip MEP, I would almost certainly have resigned over the embarrassing Kilroy debacle, so the past hasn’t been changed that much. Right now, I would still be out on my own.
Rather than a grudge, what I do have is the most profound contempt for Farage – the calm, icy sort. Any passion has long gone. And that’s actually a very different thing. Outside the cult, his incompetence, dishonesty and other less than savoury personal attributes do not really support any other view, but above all else, his attempts actively to block policy development have to be the most important reasons for regarding him in such an unfavourable light.
Overall, this “rolling dysfunction” is holding back the party and threatens to bring down the entire anti-EU movement. An example of the immediate effects are picked up by Dr Eric Edmund, a perceptive critic of Ukip and its leader. He links to yet another train-wreck interview, this one with current chairman, Steve Crowther, graphically illustrating the policy chaos that exists within the party.
This is chaos which intensifies by the hour, after Farage disowned a policy on camera, despite it having been minted by deputy leader Nutall at the Doncaster conference in September – of which Farage was apparently unaware. That left him to admit he had “misspoken“, after being forced to acknowledge that the policy on sex education remained party policy.
However, frequenting – as one does – the occasional comment thread, I recently had my own personal epiphany, coming to the realisation that Ukip’s root problem is that its people don’t even understand what policy is. Even with the benefit of a thoroughly-grounded seminar in the principles of policy-making, I asserted, they wouldn’t understand what they were being told, much less be able to put it into practice.
What, in essence, the party is producing is a list of aspirations rather than policies. The core failure is the lack of any connection between what they want to happen, and the means of making those things happen, in such a way that one can be assured that the outcomes are deliverable. This confusion between aspiration and policy means that the party can never progress to a state of coherence.
Party supporters, on the other hand (and not entirely unreasonably), point to the similar inadequacies of the established parties. But this simply highlights the further failure to understand the nature of politics. It is for the challengers, with no track record, to demonstrate their capabilities. Conventionally, this is done through the mechanism of policy statements – something which Ukip has so far failed to do.
Over the months to come, this failing will become increasingly evident, as Mr Cameron unveils his “play”, with which he seeks to undermine and eventually destroy the upstart. Putting together a series of technical measures, complete with some theatrical contrast provided by apparently obstructive Poles, he will attempt to do this by delivering a policy which shows that he has the potential to control immigration from within the EU.
On the other hand, Ukip – despite making immigration its core issue, eliding it with its anti-EU sentiment – has failed yet to deliver a credible (or any) policy on how it would control immigration from outwith the EU.
It has failed in this context to realise that “controlling our borders” is not a policy, per se, but an aspiration – and a wholly unrealistic one at that. As long as the UK admits 34 million visitors to this country each year – the majority without visas – it has effectively ceded perimeter control, the system then relying on other layers and stratagems.
The party might be better off calling for control over immigration policy. That is an altogether more realistic and focused aspiration than “controlling and managing our borders”, which it currently tells us it would seek to do. The act or process of “controlling and managing” is exactly that – an act or process – a means to an end. In policy terms, it is meaningless without declared objective and then the detail of how the controlling and managing would be done.
Nor indeed does it help having Ukip telling us that: “We will extend to EU citizens the existing points-based system for time-limited work permits”. That does not begin to constitute a policy. Nor even is it, in itself, a component of a policy.
To have the makings of a policy, the putative policy would have to be directed to, and linked with, a specific objective or outcome. It would then have to be couched in such terms as to make it clear that it could contribute to the declared objective – whatever that might be. Any system or process, as such, is blind – and has as much a capability to obstruct as support any particular policy line.
But where the real policy wonks play is in co-ordination – the thing known more commonly as “joined up policy”. The “perfect” policy is one thing, but can get a little bit raggy when you have to take other considerations into account. For instance, you might well come up with the best in highly-polished defence policies, only to have it fall apart when your foreign policy delivers you enemies you didn’t want, didn’t expect and can’t fight – a bit like UK policy really.
Here, the rank amateurism of Ukip comes to the fore, best evident when one reads that: “UKIP would not seek to remain in the European Free Trade Area (EFTA) or European Economic Area (EEA) while those treaties maintain a principle of free movement of labour, which prevents the UK managing its own borders”.
Now here one must recall that Ukip hasn’t actually declared what it is trying to achieve, and we also know that “managing” borders is not a policy as such, but a process. So we end up with a political party that is prepared to ditch a proven and workable trade relationship because it interrupts an indeterminate process aimed at an undefined effect, with no specified outcome.
In this event, we are open to the suggestion that Ukip may be well-motivated and be seeking a desirable outcome. But since the party has neither defined its preferred outcome nor any credible means by which it might achieve it, we can be excused from accepting that it has any policies.
Meanwhile, we can see Mr Cameron’s policy being rolled out, the overall objective undeclared but loosely translated as “stuff Ukip”. Helping in this noble endeavour are his allies who are talking down immigration. They are also rubbishing the “Norway option”, something they have in common with Ukip – which must tell you something.
Meanwhile, we have the entertaining prospect of theatrical Poles, providing the backcloth for Mr Cameron’s stunning victory to come. The harder he has to battle, the better and more convincing he will look.
If Ukip had policies, of course, it would be easier to assess Mr Cameron’s games, by reference to what Ukip had on offer. One would simply compare what is with what could be. That’s the way politics is supposed to work. Poor Ukip, though, hasn’t discovered this yet – and Farage never will. If his party grows up, things might be different but, for the moment, contempt seems in order for the Peter Pan of politics.
Nigel Farage a smoking, drinking, womanising, self serving UKIP Leader with a track record of dishonesty, irresponsibility, infidelity and lack of gravitas!
Now described as ‘in a rage’ at the truth being presented!

Hi,
let us first look at some facts & then consider how Nigel Farage, a man in a rage or so the media claim (at being exposed for his corruption & inconsequentiality perhaps, and thus having his personal ambitions and lust fo riches thwarted?)
They say power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and absolute power in UKIP is in the hands of just one man as he invents and dismisses policy on the hoof and happily lies and distorts in his own self defence with all the sociopathic conviction and credibility we saw in Bill Clinton when he so glibly lies about ‘I did not have sex with this woman’!
A Survation poll for The MoS now shows:
Labour on 35% (up 1% on their January rating)
Conservatives on 34% (up 4%)
UKIP on 15% (down 3%)
Lib.Dems. on 9% (down 3%)
These figures are from Survation’s first full scale opinion poll since the Tories launched their budget last Wednesday.
This clearly leaves the 2015 General Election catastrophically balanced , where election pundit John Curtice, of Strathclyde University, is on the record saying that the outcome of a General Election called on these figures call into question who could win.
I claim catastrophic as it would mean that with others the Lib.Dems. could continue to damage Britain by promoting their batty economic concepts, green fantasies and anti British surrender to foreign and particularly unappealing undemocratic EU central committee dictatorship of the so called ‘Post Democratic’ style of alien Governance, whether in collusion with either Labour or The Tories.
The survey would in fact, were it to be the outcome of the General Election of 2015 find:
Labour with 324 seats
Tories with 280 seats
Lib.Dems with a mere 19 seats
&
a rag bag of also rans with 27 seats
Do however note that at the stage of a mid term Government David Cameron’s Government has seen a marked upturn as a direct result of his party’s well managed economic policy to correct the disasterous economic illiteracy & irresponsibility of the 13 unlucky years of New Labour and the damage their self enriching & incompetent governance caused.
This is the first time since 2012 that Cameron can realistically see a way forward to win the General Election if they can maintain the trend.
The new survey is also a body blow to Nigel Farage’s party UKIP & his hopes of beating all three main parties in the May European elections. Though due to lack of political understanding & competent advisors, mainly as a result of how he selects his staff, he is unlikely to be all too aware of this since his ‘praise singers’ seek to hang onto their jobs and would not dare bring him bad news or challenge his position of absolute authority in his party – as Wil Gilpin found to his cost when he sought to professionalise the party as CEO!
Consider the facts in the form of the graph from Survation below:
The media article in blue below has been fisked,
as shown in black, by myself as blog owner:

BySIMON WALTERS PUBLISHED:22:02, 22 March 2014 UPDATED:22:02, 22 March 2014
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has vehemently denied having sex with his aide Annabelle Fuller and says he has not even kissed her.And he has dismissed claims that his 14-year marriage to German wife Kirsten is in trouble as a result of the latest headlines about his so-called ‘womanising’.Controversial Euro MP Mr Farage spoke out after it was claimed in the European Parliament that UKIP press officer Ms Fuller was ‘his former mistress’
Most people will well recall the adamantcy of Bill Clinton’s claim ‘I did not have sex with this woman‘ and that Nigel Farage is a womaniser is not just a matter of public record, having carried on an affair during his first marriage leading to the pregnancy of that mistress and his subsequent marriage to Kirsten.
And let us accept the undeniable fact that not only was Farage, since marriage to Kirsten featured large & energetically in the media in his embarrassing sexual stupidity with Liga Howells and the undeniable fact that his sexual relationship with Annabelle Fuller was a matter of common comment and considered an open secret and his sexual relationship with Aurelie Laloux having been subject of ‘in delecto flagrante’ having failed to lock the office door!
and he was using public funds to employ her and Mrs Farage, his £25,000-a-year assistant.
Let us not forget that in order to gain votes and thus be elected Nigel Farage gave a very public promise on Meridian TV that he and UKIP would never employ family members, a promise which he and others of his chums were soon to abrogate on.
In fact Nigel Farage NEVER changed this promise with the approval of his party and it was not until Daniel Foggo published the fact that Kirsten Farage was employed on a salary of just short of £30K in the broadsheet which he worked for at the time that either his colleagues or the party discovered his dishonesty, on this count. Even his own constituency office were unaware of the claim Kirsten worked for the party at the expense of the tax payers and could identify no work which she did.
At the time it was widely discussed and believed that the salary was paid as ‘Danegelt’ to his wife in return for tolerating his mistresses and her silence.
There is no opprobrium amongst many at infidelity and many believe that is a matter for the parties involved, this in the New UKIP presumably includes married men conducting clandestine homosexual relationships and consorting with prostitutes as we know these to feature amongst members of the UKIP leadership team! However to expect the tax payer to pick up a tab well into 100s of £1,000s is an astonishing concept! How can UKIP ever again criticise The EU or otjher politicians of irresponsibility, profligacy or dishonesty with OUR money.
Consider just how much it could cost the tax payer were every MP, MEP and public employee to expect us The Tax Payers to fund their sex lives be that deviant or conve4ntional! A bill for literally £Billions would become the outcome and when you consider that supplies of Viagra and cosmetic plastic surgery are a legitimate (all be it morally repugnant) right of MEPs!

Chatting in between pints, over balloons of brandy, Nigel Farage unleashes his torrent of rage of people who have wronged him in ope way or another
‘I Did NOT Have Sex With These Women‘!
In his most candid interview ever, the man bidding to change the landscape of British politics in May’s Euro elections told The Mail on Sunday:
The Tories are falsely trying to smear him as a ‘dishonest, drunken womaniser’.
This may be true but I can attest that the Tories had absolutely ZERO input to the facts surrounding his funding his wife at the tax payers’ expense nor his mistress, nor the revelations from his long term friend and flat mate Godfrey Bloom that he was a womaniser and women were his weakness.
Indubitably Nigel Farage has earned his own shoddy reputation as a womaniser.
More than one million extra immigrants will come to Britain in the next few years.
A similarly unsourced and un-researched claim to his claim 29 Million Roumanians would arrive in Britain and we would be swamped once our derogation had expired on 01-Jan-2014.
Without a competent or plausible research department almost all UKIP’s claims are unsound and implausible – consider the fact that Nigel Farage himself signed off and presented UKIP’s 2010 manifesto, drawn up by his personal placement David Bannerman MEP (now defected back to the Tories!) – Yet he denounced the entire document without ANY consultation with the party or even, I am given to understand, his own leadership team!
He sees himself as a new ‘King Alfred the Great’, determined to save the nation from European domination.
Strikes me that his main achievement is to burn cakes so far!
UKIP is the political equivalent of Millwall Football Club, whose unruly fans chant: ‘Everyone hates us, we don’t care.’
I am unaware that Millwall FC ever won the championship and became a by word for bringing the entire game and British fans into disrepute world wide – much, it would seem that Farage does relative to the body politic.
As I recall there was something rather more consequential than a little bad publicity in the relationship of Millwall & Juventas!
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, with whom Farage is about to go head- to-head in TV and radio debates, is ‘European at heart, not British’.
Something of a statement of the obvious as an opening gambit between the mice that roared!
If he wins a seat in next year’s General Election, the Tory Party could collapse and disappear overnight – just like its Canadian counterpart a decade ago.
Then again pigs could fly! There is no realistic expectation of UKIP doing well in domestic politics in 2015 as they consistently struggle in domestic elections where even in the last nationwide local elections UKIP’s results in some 1,750 seats amounted to a risible 149, of whom a considerable number have already been fired mainlt for overt racism and anti homosexual intolerance,
He once acted as chauffeur to Enoch Powell.
Farage’s spin machine rather over eggs this cake – as ever – in that Farage was asked to give Enoch Powell a lift and it is not even certain they even spoke beyond banalities, in fact it is unlikely!
Interviewing Nigel Farage requires stamina.
We met at 11.15am on Friday at his Mayfair campaign HQ, (one floor above PR man Max Clifford’s office and directly behind Claridge’s Hotel) and parted at 3pm.In between, we chatted in his office, continued over pints of London Pride ale in the suitably patriotic Iron Duke pub over the road, and adjourned to the nearby La Petite Maison French restaurant for lunch with two bottles of red wine between us and two brandies each.
Sitting in the sunshine on the restaurant’s pavement terrace enabled Mr Farage to indulge in two of his many politically incorrect pleasures: smoking (he got through half a dozen cigarettes, breaking off to buy another pack after the main course, complaining ‘bloody £8.80 that cost me, outrageous!’); and taunting climate change zealots – he cosied up to a giant patio heater, blamed by many for adding to global warming, scoffing: ‘People like Prince Charles talk such nonsense.’

Annabelle Fuller, who worked in UKIP press office, and was the alledged mistress of Nigel Farage
The ex-stockbroker was wearing his trademark blue blazer (he buys his suits, all Italian-made, from John Bray tailors in London’s Jermyn Street), pressed pink shirt, cufflinks (his favourite pair has a Spitfire motif) and tightly knotted club tie. Does he ever undo his top button?‘Weekends, of course, but not at work. ‘That’s what posers like Dave (Cameron) do to show they are a man of the people. It’s all cobblers.’With forecasts of a major UKIP success in May, Farage has panicked the main parties, in particular the Tories, into attacking his party and its notorious ‘fruitcake’ candidates. He trumpeted: ‘We’re like Millwall Football Club, “Everyone hates us and we don’t care!” The penny’s dropped, the great British public knows we cannot have our own immigration policy and stay in the EU. We’re on the edge of the biggest migratory wave yet – it could be a million plus over the next few years including a huge number from Romania.’He derided attempts by David Cameron’s hard-hitting Australian born election campaigns chief, Lynton Crosby, to undermine UKIP.‘Mr Crosby and his gang can paint me out to be the biggest, most dishonest, drunken womaniser or whatever they blooming well like, but they misunderstand why they’re in trouble.Tories won’t vote for them again because they don’t see Dave as a Conservative.‘I accept that in the early days UKIP had all sorts we’d rather not have taken home to meet mum for tea.
‘The Canadian Conservatives disappeared overnight – we could do the same to the Tories’
But we now have thousands of decent men and women, ex-Conservative, ex-Labour, policemen, school teachers, businessmen.’ He’s been called the ‘heir of Thatcher’ but seems more Denis than Maggie to me. ‘He was a top chap!’ erupted Farage with boyish glee. ‘Wow! If I’m compared to Denis Thatcher – he fought for this country in the war, was decorated, made vast sums of money, was respected and lived well into his 80s – sounds pretty good to me.’

With recent successes of the UKIP party, Farage has caused worry amongst the three major political parties, especially the Tories who have had major attacks on his ‘fruitcake’ candidates
How will he tackle Europhile Mr Clegg in debates, starting this week? ‘I’ll say, “Come on Nick, tell me why you think British people want the EU flag, anthem and Mr Rumpy Pumpy [EU President Herman Van Rompuy] – I’m all ears. Clegg’s European at heart, not British.’But his grin turned to a glare when I raised a different type of ‘rumpy pumpy’ – former UKIP ally Nikki Sinclaire’s bombshell claim in the European Parliament that Farage employed his wife Kirsten and ‘former mistress Annabelle Fuller’ on his MEP’s payroll.Mr Farage and Ms Fuller, 32, issued statements denying they had an affair, but his initial apparent failure to do so meant the rumour mill kept turning. Ms Sinclaire added insult to injury in last week’s Mail on Sunday, calling him a ‘bullying, hypocritical, preening show pony’. Farage’s frog eyes bulged with fury.‘You normally rely on people on bail for fraud charges, do you?’ he scowled, leaning forward aggressively. (Ms Sinclaire was arrested in 2012 in connection with claims concerning alleged expenses fraud at the European Parliament. She denies any wrongdoing.)It’s obviously got under his skin.
It is of course worthy of note that Farage, who himself was fired by his French employers when in The City, for, UI understand, serial drunkeness at work found when his party fired Nikki Sinclaire she took the party to Court and won the case – just as when she was fired from UKIP for refusing to join their racist, anti homosexual extremist EFD Group in the EU took the matter to Court and won on the grounds of abuse and sexual discrimination.
It is also worthy of note that Nigel Farage has a proven AND indisputable record of fraudulent behaviour relative to the public purse whereas Nikki Sinclaire was arrested and bailed in 2012 as a result of dishonest claims from an employee who had not only managed her accounts but had been removed over a matter of missing funds and was found to have unlawfully and seemingly maliciously made false entries, seemingly in cahoots with one of Nigel Farage’s clique with a record of financial incompetence and dishonesty.
In 2 years the police would seem to be at a loss how to remove the ‘egg from their faces’ having been set up by those close to Farage, who are consider5ed to have been unlikely to act without his approval – just as when Annabelle Fuller lied regarding data protection breeches and posting a confidential party video on You Tube to deliberately try to discredit a party Branch Chairman John West.
You will find numerous similar examples as a matter of unchallenged accuracy on this web site in one of the more than 2,000 blogs I have written, all of which I am happy to attest to and none of which have UKIP been able to show to be inaccurate in ANY consequential fact or detail.
Interestingly it will be noted that in an independent accountant’s audit of Nikki Sinclaire’s accounts as an MEP, appointed by her solicitor it shows that there is no identifiable act of fraud against the tax payers or the EU in general and that until she quit UKIP as a result of the lies of Lord Pearson, Farage’s puppet leader for a short term and other efforts by UKIP to damage Sinclaire she4 was a notable donor to UKIP funds and it can also be shown that rather than Farage’s spurious claim of fraud that Sinclaire has used in excess of £100,000 of her own money in pursuit of her duties as an MEP with a probable sum of around another £100K likely to be spent, of her own money, to gain a footing for her WDARN Party to continue her constituency work and promote the cause of Leaving The EU.
Further OLAF who investigate fraud in The EU have neither investigated nor are they interested in investigating Nikki Sinclaire’s use of public money, unlike Nigel Farage who has been investigated at least once and has been found guilty and ordered to repay considerable sums of money he had fraudulently obtained from the EU!
Similarly I am aware that of Farage’s MEPs in UKIP Tom Wise was investigated and sentenced to prison for his crimes in which Farage colluded, Derek Clark was investigated and found guilty and ordered to repay money he had perloined, so also was Jeffrey Titford, Graham Booth and Farage himself. Whilst Mike Nattrass was not cleared but as thwe FoI document showed OLAF’s decision was to take the matter no further, however I understand he was embroilled in other fraud involving an employee of his who went to prison yet whom he re-employed at the tax payers’ expense, I am told, on his release from prison and I understand Nattrass was ordered to pay a sum in the region of £100K for his involvement in what I am given to understand was in connection with some sort of mortgage & valuation irregularity!
Then of course we have Stuart Agnew and David Bannerman who admitted to fraudulent use of public funds and are still, I gather, under investigation by OLAF. There is also the matter of Clive Page, Nigel Farage’s Press Officer who was found guilty of consequential benefit fraud, whilst Ashley Mote was, as an MEP, sentenced to 9 months in prison for benefit fraud.
Then of course we need to note that Nigel farage has recently admitted on Andrew neill’s political programme that he has fraudulently used tax payers’ money to the tune of well in excess of £100K by using EU expenses to pay for the ‘party political’ services of his wife, which is clearly against the rules of The EU!
This of course does not include consideration of his employment in one way or another of Annabelle Fuller and Aurelie Laloux and possibly other sexual partners he has rewarded with generous funding at our expense!

Farage is equally dismissive of critics who say UKIP¿s widely predicted success in the Euro elections will melt like spring snow in next year¿s General Election
‘What gets under my skin is that the BBC decided it was headline TV news,’ he shot back, nostrils flaring.He maintains Ms Sinclaire held a grudge because Ms Fuller was picked ahead of her as a UKIP press officer in 2006.Farage trades on his colourful character to win votes, so he can’t complain if other aspects come under scrutiny.Has he had sex with Annabelle Fuller? ‘I don’t think we should go into the grisly details.’Has he slept with her? ‘No.’ Has he kissed her? ‘No. When you work in a tight team, I understand why people might get the wrong idea.’
Why hadn’t he denied it immediately in the European Parliament? Farage falls back on his best weapon: wit.‘There’s an old saying, if you pick a fight with a chimney sweep you get covered in soot!’ Twice-married Farage does not deny he had a fling with a 25-year-old Latvian woman eight years ago: ‘I put myself in a very bad position there. I am not saying I am beyond stupidity and yes, I’ve made mistakes.’Kirsten, 39, mother of two of his four children, is ‘pretty cheesed off’ with the claims about him and Ms Fuller, but he insists their marriage is not on the rocks.He is equally dismissive of critics who say UKIP’s widely predicted success in the Euro elections will melt like spring snow in next year’s General Election.‘In 2009 we came from nowhere, like a horse on the rails, in the European elections. Everyone said, “Jolly well done Nigel, now bugger off back to the pub, you’ll never achieve anything in domestic politics.”
‘Protestors smashed in my car when I was driving Enoch Powell’
‘And blow me down, last year we got nearly a quarter of the vote in the English county council elections.’He boasts UKIP could win up to 20 seats in 2015 and plans to stand as a candidate, probably in his native Kent. ‘The Canadian Conservative Party disappeared overnight – we could do the same to the Tories here over Europe. Believe me.’ As he downed a fourth large glass of Chinon red wine a passer-by, Steve, a hedge-fund manager, approached and told Farage how much he admired him. Farage invited Steve to pull up a chair and vigorously debated with him for half an hour, a common event for man of the people Nigel.

Farage has also been described as ‘not a compassionate man’, who during the period of his interview, ignored a Big Issue seller on the street
But he had no time for the homeless man who tried to sell him The Big Issue, ignoring him completely.After the bedraggled toothless chap eventually gave up and trudged off, Farage quipped: ‘That’s the first Big Issue seller I’ve come across for a while who isn’t a Romanian immigrant!’ He doesn’t ‘do’ compassion.By the time we had progressed to the Napoleon brandies, Farage ripped into Cameron’s handling of the Ukraine crisis. ‘Egged on by reckless Dave and (William) Hague, the EU has incited the Russian bear and surprise, surprise, the bear has hit back. ‘What’s Dave going to do if the Scots vote for independence, send troops to Edinburgh? Madness.’Farage prefers Right-wing Tories like Enoch Powell and briefly acted as his chauffeur in his 20s.‘He had spoken at my school and I was later asked to drive him to a by-election rally, I think they chose me because everyone else available had a Morris Minor and I had a Merc! It was scary. ‘Protesters smashed the back of the car when we arrived but Enoch didn’t blink.’Powell’s ‘rivers of blood’ immigration rhetoric made him a hate figure: naughty but nice Nigel is more Ronnie Corbett than Oswald Mosley.Farage found new inspiration when he visited Athelney in Somerset during the floods.Athelney is where King Alfred the Great hid before defeating the Danes in 878.‘From a few flooded acres of land Alfred beat the Danes and created what we now know as England,’ he said with misty-eyed fervour, swirling the brandy in his glass.‘If it wasn’t for him we would have been taken over by the Vikings.’UKIP’s King Nigel is just as determined to repel the EU.
What Goes Around Comes Around with UKIP Lies, Bullying & Distortion!

Hi,
just like the many blogs, Forums, web sites and the like that UKIP its agents or supporters of the Farage Cult have set up that harbour lies, distortions, fantasies and desperate efforts to defame people like me who relentlessly expose the undeniable racism, corruption, dishonesty, self interest, anti homosexuality of UKIP and those in the cult who have so resoundingly betrayed the electorate and stolen from the public purse on a near industrial level as they so befoul the name and aims of EUroScepticism.
Consider the endless lies and defamatory claims made regarding Nikki Sinclaire, Dr. Eric Edmonds, Junius, Dr. Richard North, John West, Alastaire McConnachie, Robin Page, Nikki Sinclaire, Petrina Holdsworth, Heather Connyngham, Niall Warry, Alan Hardy, Peter Troye, Steve Morson, Dr. David Abbott, Richard Suchorzevski, and many others who have tried to clean-up UKIP to make it fit for purpose.

I guess that is what one can expect from the scum that are attracted, in many cases, to the honey pots and gravy trains of politics where there is so much unaccountable money to access!
Just look at the pond life attracted to UKIP to ride on the gravy train just by following and applauding the Farage Cult – individuals who have been proven time and again to be liars, cheats, thieves and fantasists.

But clearly they don’t like it when people set out to treat them as they treat others!
Labour in Brussels behind ‘anonymous’ UKIP smear site.
A few years ago, an anonymous website called UKIP Watch sprung up, claiming to be ‘exposing’ UKIP. With a (very little) bit of digging, UKIPLiverpool was able to discover that the website had in fact been set up by a Labour party member in Brussels:
In the last few days it has begun to be shared around Facebook again, as a reminder of what we will come up against in the next few months.
With UKIP membership on the rise, and now that we regularly poll third place in the polls, we must look out for, and expose the lows that our opponents will stoop to to discredit us.
Labour and the Conservatives both know that they can’t attack us on our policies, as their attacks only serve to alienate the electorate more and more. They’re too stubborn to realise that the reason we are popular is because only we are in line with public opinion, so they won’t change their policies.
These under-the-radar attacks are going to look more appealing to those parties in the run up to the European elections, as we continue to make in-roads into areas that they consider ‘theirs’.
The Lamentable Dishonesty & shameful cowardice of UKIP Cyber Bullies as they seek to defame those who make factual and constructive criticism of the corruption and failures of UKIP!!

Hi,
some may have noticed the squalid little posting on behalf of UKIP on the UKIP controlled and dominated site at The BDF which has consistently published lies and dishonest spin on behalf of the most odious elements of UKIP whilst persecuting and permitting the dishonest defamation of those who seek to see UKIP cleaned-up and made fit for purpose as representatives of the Leave-The-EU movement and decent and moral British people.
Mr Green is admittedly not the most reliable of sources but Mr Lance-Watkins’ role in the Hollie Greig story is most worrying. The compelling theme in both of his campaigns against UKIP and the Greig campaign has been that he has fallen out with individuals and then decided to denigrate both at any opportunity. Or in short, Mr Lance-Watkins is one of Britain’s pre-eminent grudge holders
Greg Affectation Watkins is an anti-UKIP miracle. Clutched from terminal illness he continues his laughable work obviously being paid by sources unknown.Helped by that pathetic ghostbuster from the dole queue in Ipswich and others such as Frau Matron he must be struggling now that Junius has given up the ghost and stopped posting
Let us deal with this disingenuous garbage item by item giving Facts & Links to provenance:
I am not sure why Niall like to link stuff from him
G.L-W: Firstly we note the UKIP supporter (believed by many to be one of a group of UKIP apparatchicks is too ashamed of their postings to put their name to them and as such is at liberty to lie at will in order to defame without facing censure or consequence!
The posting quoted was made in 2011 by Robert Green a former travel agent who went bankrupt defaulting on his creditors and a proven liar who served a prison sentence for his criminal activities regarding the Hollie Greig scam.
Further the posting was dealt with in full when raised by some of the scoundrels and low lifes in UKIP seeking to defame previously see: CLICK HERE
That others quote my various postings is for the same reason that they are read on a regular basis by the media and UKIP staff, leadership, lawyers and many others (it is not the number of readerts that matters but the caliber!)
To date, despite desperate attempts by UKIP to pretend I have lied or have deliberately misled or am anti UKIP they have never once been able to identify or show a single consequential inaccuracy or dishonesty in a single solitary one of the 1,000s of postings I have made about UKIP and its associates!
Mr Green is admittedly not the most reliable of sources but Mr Lance-Watkins’ role in the Hollie Greig story is most worrying. The compelling theme in both of his campaigns against UKIP and the Greig campaign has been that he has fallen out with individuals and then decided to denigrate both at any opportunity. Or in short, Mr Lance-Watkins is one of Britain’s pre-eminent grudge holders
G.L-W: Yet another odious coward too ashamed to put their name to their comments, also thought to be a staffer or aspirant in UKIP – willing to lie and defame to enhance their position in the party!
Indeed Roberrt Green is NOT a reliable witness having a proven track record of dishonesty and having served a consequential prison sentence for his criminal activities and behaviour regarding the Hollie Greig stories see: CLICK HERE
This odious character invents his story on the hoof it seems as there is not one shred of evidence ANYWHERE that I am anti UKIP or have fallen out with any individual in UKIP – that those whose dishonesty, incompetence and corruption, which I have exposed have resorted to lies about me seeking to bolster their positions by trying to denigrate and defame me is well established!
Perhaps this odious self seeking scoundrel and cowardly critic could show a single example of grudge bearing or any motivation for such a ‘grudge’ as he seeks to claim.
Greg Affectation Watkins is an anti-UKIP miracle.

The sneerings of this unpleasant little man can largely be taken as a compliment. That he is dishonest aned corrupt is unmdeniable as time and again he has be4en exposed as a liar, a cheat and untrustworthy.
Many will recal Mick McGough support of Andrew Smith who was for a time UKIP treasurer ubntil his incompetence, dishonesty and corruption was exposed and he quit his post mid term to avoid public censure and possible repurcusions on his job as an accountant for a London firm!
Many will remember Mick McGough’s desperate attempts to defend him when he circulated a memo to UKIP leadership on how to go about deceiving the Electoral Commission and also when he engineered the removal of Niall Warry as U*KIP Office Manager as he had come too close to exposing Andrew Smith#s corruption.
Corruption and incompetence in which Mick McGough participated as a signator of UKIP cheques which led to money being spirited away to other accounts!
Mick McGough is embarrassingly for true UKIP supporters one of the puppets and muppets on the NEC placed to ensure that UKIP is never taken seriously it would seem to judge by his sordid and destructive postings and fabrications which bring UKIP into disrepute.
Consider his sneering tones – hardly those of an executive, or his dishonest promotion of his unfounded fantasies which are clearly dishonest.
Yes it is a miracle that I have survived having had several types of cancer5 over a 15 year period – which to date, much to the astonishment of my consultants, I have survived – despite several occasions when they have pronounced a very short expectation of survival. That I have also had a major heart attack and survived other complications is also astonishing..
Anyone who requires info. or help who has cancer or is caring for a cancer patient is welcome to call and chat as I have ‘done the whole nine yards’ so to speak and am happy to pass on any help I can give.
To that end perhaps the information at CLICK HERE may be of help.
That the odious Mick McGough demeans UKIP by denigrating and defaming anyone who seeks honesty, integrity, accountability, ethics and transparency from the increasingly incompetent and unpleasant leadership clique and their claque will come as no surprise to the informed!
That Mick McGough is motivated by money is made self evident (gaining him the nicknam Mick McTrough!( by his continuous inventions and fantasies regarding his repeated lies that others only act in persuit of money when there are those of us who seek probity and gravitas from a UKIP of moral integrity to make them electable by informed and honourable individuals – most of whom have quit their support leaving the party exposed to scoundrels and the gullible and in persuit of racism, bullying, lies, mysogeny and self interst.
I do agree that the fact that those posting on the Junius blog have left the field is an added burden and as there are less and less honourable people seeking the well being of UKIP and the exposure of its self evident corruption sources have become more limited as the fools and crooks remaining associateed with UKIP seek to cover eachothers misdemeanors, criminality and incompetence in the hope of personal rewards!
That Team Junius has ceased posting at the moment has of course been clearly explained at CLICK HERE
A post which I shall get around to repeating when I have time as so many people have contacted me for more information – The informed will of course remember the original ‘Junius’ who posted cryptic letters of a political nature historically and suddenly ceased leaving everyone with the question as to their identity.
That UKIP has over the years permitted the scum to rise to the top in their particular septic tank and let them act as spokesmen for the party and has never made any effort to censure their behaviour speaks volumes of their suitability for election or selection for any job of any responsibility related to Governance – that they are utilised by many as a protest vote in EU elections is of little surprise and with their racist views and the morays of a dinasaur of yester year one is hardly surprised they apeal to racists and inadequates particularly in view of the decline and failure of The BNP.
Would that UKIP could be ‘cleaned-up’ and made to act with gravitas and probity to make them fit for election to lead the movement opposed to EU membership rather than just seek to exploit it for personal gain.
I fear with UKIP’s total lack of strategy, ignorance of tactics and opportunistic self interest were they to have any part in the upcoming Referendum, which is increasingly inevitable due to the sterling work of Team Sinclaire and a few others, I incline to believe that UKIP will be the most likely cause of losing the vote rather than ensuring we win and have the fundamental human right of self determination restored to our own democracy and clearly without some fundamental shifts in the style of British Governance there is little hope of a good outcome – Hence we must all be gratefull to Richard North and his team’s hard work in seeking to progress The Harrogate Agenda (as featured at the head of this web site CLICK HERE and at HERE
Anyone wishing to discuss any of these details or other facts is welcome to phone me – my phone is screened against any witheld numbers and has a recording device on line to ensure accuracy of recall when needed – Thus avoiding the obsecenities, abuse and threats of liars and inadequates like Mick McGough and his cowardly chums at UKIP and the parasites exploiting Hollie Greig for their own gain!
Genuine calls from land lines will ALWAYS be treated in confidence and with the fullest facts I am able to provide, as the media and others have proved beyond doubt.
How Many MPs would UKIP HAVE by now if its MEPs and their staff had made the efforts and acted with the integrity of Nikki Sinclaire MEP?

Hi,
it is intriguing to speculate just howmany MPs and District Councillors UKIP would have by now if they had all acted with the integrity and put in the consistent hard work that Nikki Sinclaire has done since she left UKIP on a point of principle regarding their association and collaboration wityh racism, anti homosexuality,anti Judaism and corruption.
Unfashionable as it may be for those licking boots in UKIP many will remember that when she left UKIP as a result of the outright lies of Malcolm Pearson, the dishonesty of Christopher Gill, the innuendo and bullying of Nigel Farage and Godfrey Bloom, when drunk and sober, and the vile behaviour of Mick McGough and other low lifes in the leadership clique and its odious claque of cowards, posturing behind anonymity.
She was at the time one of UKIP’s largest donors!
Also do note that Nigel Farage promised the electorate before any UKIP MEPs were ever elected that every elected UKIP member would publish full auditted accounts – To date not a single UKIP MEP, Councillor or other elected public servant has ever published transparent auditted accounts.
Some may remember that to get votes Nigel Farage PROMISED transparency!
Then of course let us remember that Nigel Farage PROMISED no UKIP elected member would ever employ family – it was due to the facts garnered and then published by Daniel Foggo that his colleagues discovered that although Farage had PROMISED and blocked his colleagues was himself employing his wife on a salary of about £30,000 a year and even his own constituency office did not know and knew of no work that she did for UKIP or Farage othwer than as a wife, mother and domestic help – Yet money available to UKIP staff was dishonestly spent by Farage to bribe his wife!
Just imagine what UKIP could have achieved in 20 years had they had the work ethics, integrity, sense of duty and willingness to fund the party shown by Nikki Sinclaire whom the leadership of UKIP lied about, bullied and defamed to ensure they removed her as she was embarrassingly showing up their corruption, dishonesty, corruption, self interest, racism and lack of integrity.
Burton MEP calls for accounts to be audited
Written by MARK MCKAY
THE Euro MP for Burton has called on fellow Euro politicians to have their accounts put under the microscope and audited.
Nikki Sinclaire, the We Demand a Referendum MEP for the West Midlands, made the calls after having her accounts successfully audited for the third year.
She said: “In times of financial austerity, it is important that the electorate know where their money is spent.”
She also slammed the European Union for not having its accounts audited for the past 18 years.
She said: “Transparency is my number one aim.
“With the European Union being unable to audit its accounts for the past 18 years, it is no wonder that the majority of this country questions our membership”.
Ms Sinclaire has also claimed to subsidise her own expenditure in 2012 by £40,851 which she said helped fund her work in the West Midlands.
She also claims to have subsidised her general expenditure from her own pocket by £119,744 between 2009 and 2012.
Again and again UKIP manages the most inept and unprofessional placement of their clique and the muppets in their claque ever hoping for preferment keep quiet and abuse anyone who dares point out the incompetence!
Little wonder the British domestic electorate do not trust, vote for or support UKIP except as a dustbin for the protest voters!

Hi,
this statement by UKIP on its official web site at CLICK HERE is quite clearly inaccurate:
NEC election results
Friday, 22nd February 2013
The following results were today announced in the delayed 2012 UKIP National Executive Committee elections:
From a turnout of 32.4% those elected to the five vacant NEC positions were:
These 5 candidates attracted a total of 12,847 votes – have taken no interest in the process as UKIP selections and so called elections are so consistently utterly dishonest and corrupted.
Here we go again!
IF only 5 candidates had been on the list for rigging and 12,847 votes were cast for them ecen that means with 32.4% of the party voting then the party claims to have just short of 40,000 members!
There were many more hopefulls who wanted to take a step forward on the gravy train whether that means the fudged figures were for a membership of 40,000 or hugely more is merely an indication of the corruption and incompetence of UKIP leadership and whatever happened to the endless promises of professionalising the party?
It is almost as much of a farce as the incompetence of the manner in which it is believed by many that the last leadership rigging was carried out or even more notable the farce of foisting The Farage Constitution on the party so that he could draw up the list of candidates to suit himself using his puppets on the NEC.
Clearly I was right to largely ignore the placement of NEC members as proven by the scam shown above.
UKIP has consistently lied and defamed those who have dared to speak out against their corruption, racism, anti homosexual and criminal self interest!
Clearly UKIP are unfit for purpose, as the public has noted, hence they have less than 30 people elected to any office of note out of 19,500 seats and despite the false hope of mid term polls average out at around 3% in domestic bye elections!

Hi,
it is interesting to note that the Main stream Media are playing catch up and covering factual stories published on this blog and by team Junius some time ago.At least, along with UKIP’s leadership team they are keeping tabs on this blog and reading it regularly.
One interesting fact about UKIP is that despite the many lies promoted regarding this blog and me personally they have NEVER ONCE ide3ntified a single solitary material fact provided on this blog that has been inaccurate – though their cowardly puppets and members of their leadership constantly lie and defame me and team Junius when in fact they haven’t a clue who writes The Junius blog or who their sources are.
Although I have been away for a few days and haven’t posted much as I have been hospitalised (yet again!) you will notice UKIP’s cowardly sock puppets are still trying desperately to defame me with their lies, spin and fantasies!
Clearly with their over racism and anti homosexuality UKIP have no future in politics. Let us not forget that a British Court found Nigel Farage, Godfrey Bloom AND UKIP guilty of anti homosexual behaviour and The EU Parliament officially cenured Godfrey Bloom for anti homosexual behaviour.
Ugly face of UKIP: Sunday Mirror exposes racist and homophobic views of party members
Official online “members forum” used to express extremist and offensive opinions on gay marriage and paedophilia
Sick: Branch chair Dr Julia Gasper
is facing the sack for comments about bestiality
The UK Independence Party has surged to a record high in the opinion polls under its brash leader Nigel Farage.
But a Sunday Mirror investigation today reveals a sickening catalogue of racist and homophobic views held by some of its biggest supporters.
They use the party’s official online “members forum” to express extremist and offensive opinions on issues ranging from gay marriage to bogus links between homosexuals and paedophilia.
Their outbursts are exposed as the party gears up against both the Tories and Labour in next year’s European elections, with its flagship policy that Britain should pull out of the EU.
On the forum, senior UKIP member Dr Julia Gasper branded gay rights a “lunatic’s charter” and claimed some homosexuals prefer sex with animals. She added: “As for the links between homosexuality and paedophilia, there is so much evidence that even a full-length book could hardly do justice to the subject.”
The former parliamentary candidate and UKIP branch chairman in Oxford now faces the sack over her comments.
Tackled about her remarks yesterday, she said: “I’m not going to talk about them. It’s none of your business.”
Lecturer Dr Gasper is just one of many UKIP members who use the forum to vent their controversial views.
A concerned party insider passed on a selection of the shocking outbursts to the Sunday Mirror.
UKIP member Jan Zolyniak posted: “The evidence is quite clear that the percentage of homosexuals who molest children is very high and cannot be dismissed.”
Approached outside his bungalow in Surrey yesterday, Mr Zolyniak claimed his comments were for “research purposes”. He said: “I put those comments up on the website to get responses.”
Horrific: UKIP member Jan Zolyniak
linked homosexuality and child abuse
Another member, Douglas Denny from the Bognor Regis branch in West Sussex, used the forum to attack gay sex as “disgusting”. He wrote: “What irritates me is they (sic) way they and their leftie, neo-Commie followers seem to want to force the rest of us to consider them as normal.
“I just wish they would keep their homosexual nature and practices to themselves and stop trying to ram it down my throat telling me they are ‘normal’ when they are not.”
Yesterday Denny said: “Private forums and private posts should stay private. I have no further comment to make and don’t wish to discuss it with a newspaper.”
Another member complained about the impact of immigration on the NHS, writing: “I am informed by past media that Black Caribbean and not Black African have a higher instance of schizophrenia.
“I wonder if this is due to inbreeding on these small islands in slave times or is it due to smoking grass.”
David Cameron has branded UKIP members as “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists”. Only last week he called them “pretty odd people”. But UKIP seized a record 16 per cent share in one recent opinion poll and leader Nigel Farage now wants to join the PM, Labour’s Ed Miliband and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg in TV debates before the next election.
However, our revelations will be a blow to the party’s declaration that it doesn’t tolerate racists or bigots. Last night Labour called on Mr Farage to kick out members guilty of abusive remarks.
Vice-chairman Michael Dugher said: “There is absolutely no place for this kind of nasty racism and appalling homophobia in British politics. UKIP’s leadership should condemn this in the strongest terms.”
Mr Farage said his party did not tolerate racism, but it was against the Government’s plans to allow gay marriage.
He said complaints about abusive remarks would be investigated. But party chiefs were clearly aware of the problem last week when UKIP General Secretary Jonathan Arnott banned a discussion on the site on gay issues.
He wrote of his fears that someone “is going to screenshoot comments and send them to a newspaper”. In the last week, two UKIP members have been forced out of the party for expressing support for gay marriage.
Olly Neville, leader of the party’s youth wing, was stripped of his post for supporting gay marriage in an interview on BBC Radio 4. Richard Lowe, prospective parliamentary candidate for Chester, says he was also forced to resign over the issue.
UKIP was founded in 1993 with a primary objective of withdrawing the UK from the EU. It struggled initially but following the 2009 elections, the party has 12 of the 73 UK seats in the European Parliament. It also has three members in the House Of Lords.
Although UKIP has not yet won a seat in the House of Commons, opinion polls place it above the Lib Dems and they are hopeful of a breakthrough in the 2015 General Election.
We do not welcome racists, insists Nigel Farage
(G.L-W: This is very clearly a lie as Douglas Denny has been a close contact of Nigel Farage for many years and was his Party Secretary over a long period. G.L-W)
UKIP leader Nigel Farage said last night racists weren’t welcome and vowed to investigate complaints.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mirror, Euro MP Mr Farage said: “Anybody who makes racist comments isn’t welcome. Anybody with a racist agenda has joined the wrong party.”
(G.L-W.: This is clearly a lie as his own peculiar Pan EU Political Group, of which he is a leader and has forced his Party to be members of for his personal financial and political gain, is The EFD Group who are overtly racist, extremist anti Jewish and anti homosexual with numerous senior members found guilty of assault, corruption, fraud, Holocaust Denial, racism and anti homosexuality he failed even to take any meaningfull action of people under his leadership who openly supported Anders Breivick. G.L-W.)
Asked about racist and anti-gay views on UKIP’s members’ forum, Mr Farage said: “I have never even heard of these people. Julia Gasper is the only one… We’ve had problems with her and her position in the Oxford branch is not acceptable and is being changed. Her war against homosexuals is unacceptable.”
Mr Farage said he would have to “look carefully” at remarks before giving his view but added: “Catholic doctrine could be interpreted as homophobic. If a comment was aggressive towards a group of people, I would condemn it. If it’s people saying they are against gay marriage because they’re Christian, I’d be more tolerant.”
I wonder what torrent of vicious dishonesty, spin and lies will emanate from UKIP’s leadership and its claque of fools and sock puppets to defame those who have again published undeniable facts!
