The corruption of EUkip’s leadership,

their anti UKIP claque in POWER & the NEC

is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!

UKIP Candidate Kim GANDY & The EDL!

It makes one wonder if UKIP has ANY standards as clearly they will fish in any gutter for money!

UKIP MEPs make that very clear!

Hi,

one has to wonder what Nigel Farage sees in this UKIP candidate!

Is this just a sign of just how leaderless and unprofessional UKIP is with the caliber of MEPs who have remained in The EFD with UKIP so befouling the EUroSceptic causer with its racism, xenophobia, anti Judaism, holocaust denial, violence and intolerant fear of homosexuals - Just what has UKIP done to move these United Kingdoms one iota closer to liberty, freedom, tolerance and self determination as a sovereign peoples?

We have the likes of Gerard Batten preaching what seerms to be little more than race hatred and intolerance based on his personal fears and superstitions - Paul Nuttall making a spectacular fool of himself with his childish and irrelevant choices of campaign which do nothing to support the gravitas of the EUroSceptic cause.

The endless Court cases UKIP so regularly looses do NOTHING for the EUroSceptic cause they are just a product of UKIP's self serving self interest - is it any wonder it achieves so very little when it so clearly acts for a small clique seeking self enrichment supported by a claque who live on the crumbs from the feast of bribe money at the EU troughs!

How can this candidate be seen as any more likely to bring credibility to EUroScepticism than the likes of self serving garbage like Nuttall, Bannerman, Agnew, Wise, Batten, Bloom, Clark, Bufton who greased their way up the pole and have done so very little for these United Kingdoms and so very much for themselves - Just look how much of their effort is put into hanging onto their jobs and how much is put into getting re-elected!

Consider when they are found guilty of fraud and ordered to repay large amounts of money just howmuch effort they make to hide their self enrichment! They steal and then they lie and try to blame and destroy others to hide their shame to hang onto their income streams!

It seems UKIP will consort with any garbage to hang onto their incomes and to hell with ethics, integrity or British values.

You may find the following of interest from a noted web site and wonder, as I did, what has this to do with UKIP liberty, freedom, sovereignty and the CLAIMED values of UKIP:

Exposed: UKIP candidate and EDL Supporter Kim Gandy

Tuesday 17th January, 2011 15:30

Today we welcome staunch EDL supporter and UKIP mouthpiece, 52 year old Kim Gandy to EDL News.

Gandy is possibly the angriest far right extremist we have seen since trolling through their Facebook pages. An ex-BNPer, Gandy is now a UKIP spokesperson for Vange, Basildon and is not creating the fluffy sort of image I am sure they would want.

Aggressive and abusive in Newspaper comments sections, this reply was to a story about about the European referendum:

The rest can be read here but she is hardly endearing her self to the local population.

Gandy's UKIP Facebook profile is here and she describes herself as:

Outspoken, passionate, genuine, sentimental, loving, caring, patriotic to the core;

She clearly missed out racist, xenophobic, abusive. She also describes herself as a member and candidate of UKIP.

Gandy is currently engaging in a 'democratic campaign' to get Exposing Racism and Intolerance Online's Facebook group closed down. Expose screenshot racist comments by EDL members and being a spokesman for a fringe political party, you would have thought she would be against racism which does make you wonder why UKIP have this person on board.

Nigel Farage & Kim Candy

We have screenshots taken this week of Gandy (posting as Boadicea Ireni) encouraging her Facebook friends to mass report the page. Each demand gets more and more aggressive, you can almost hear her screeching like a banshee

UKIP: A question for Nigel Farage

UKIP: A question for Nigel Farage

Would Nigel Farage care to comment on the allegation that OLAF - the EU's anti-fraud office - has ordered him to pay back "a substantial amount of money" after he was found guilty of misusing his MEP allowances? It has been said that the sum in question exceeds the amount that Derek Clark was ordered to pay back. LINK

Nigel can contact this blog or GLW to confirm or deny it.

And how sad that Nigel Farage has to brag that he has a chauffeur. Is he really that insecure that he feels the need to try to impress people - usually women - with this rubbish? However, we feel sure that the hard-pressed British taxpayer will be glad to know that they are subsidising Farage's life of luxury as an MEP!

To QUOTE Junius - Nigel Farage: The New Gandhi!

Nigel Farage: The New Gandhi?

Nigel Farage: A drunkard and a fool. And it certainly shows!

Much nonsense has been written recently about the so-called surge in popularity of UKIP in the polls (more on this tomorrow). One writer - Alex Singleton - even made the ludicrous claim that Nigel Farage was the new Gandhi! We suggest that Mr Singleton does a little bit more research into Farage's background and real motivations before insulting the dead by comparing them to a degenerate. It may even prevent Mr Singleton from looking foolish in the future.

What has poor Gandhi ever done to deserve such an insult? Gandhi was motivated by a desire to see his people freed from British rule. He was a humble man, a person who did not seek riches or glory for himself. He also hated sycophancy and deplored racism. To compare this man with Farage is frankly insulting to both the Indian leader and the Indian people.

Farage is motivated solely by ego and wealth. He has claimed millions in expenses since becoming an MEP and has amassed a fortune, most of which is safely placed in his Isle of Man back account. He STILL refuses to publish a full audit of his accounts. This is despite numerous promises to do so. And why does he still refuse to explain what happened to the £211,000 that 'vanished' from UKIP's South East accounts? A similar amount was later paid into his Isle of Man account. Coincidence?

Farage surrounds himself with sycophants, drunkards and liars. Any criticism of his 'leadership' is met with smears against the critic. And exactly the same thing happens when new talent emerges in the party. Farage's deep-seated insecurity just won't allow it. They are either forced out of the party or kicked out on trumped up charges of 'disloyalty'. Look what happened to Nikki Sinclaire! However, Farage always gets others to do his dirty work as he lacks the courage to face his party critics in open debate.

Farage openly sits with racist MEPs in the EFD group, including those who have praised the Norwegian mass murderer, Anders Behring Breivik. See: LINK.

He has the morals of a Alley Cat - the words of Mike Nattrass, UKIP MEP - and thinks nothing of cheating on his wife with Annabelle Fuller and various other assorted 'alley cats'. See: LINK.

This is what Richard North, his former researcher, had to say about his time with the UKIP leader:

"I am not and was not prepared to be a bag-carrier. Nor would I fetch and carry for Farage, or write his letters, or be available to pour him into a taxi when he was so blind drunk that he could no longer stand, or cover for him when he failed to turn up for morning appointments because he had been out on the tiles all night long. I am almost old enough to be his father, but I am not in the business of being his nanny. I am a professional researcher and that, in my mind, was what I was employed to do."

We could go on but to compile a complete list fully illustrating Farage's dishonesty, lack of ethics and greed would be endless!

Farage is just another example of the worst in British politics - a man without integrity or honour. His 'euro-scepticism 'is nothing more than a cynical ploy in order to stay on the EU Gravy Train at the British taxpayer's expense. Farage is now an extremely wealthy man thanks to his career as a UKIP MEP. And yet in all his years as an MEP he has given virtually nothing to UKIP in the way of donations. Hardly the actions of a man committed to leaving the EU! Farage went 'native' years ago.

Britain's new Gandhi? Don't make us laugh!

Richard North on the ignorance of Nigel Farage

2011-11-18T22:15:00.016Z

Richard North on the ignorance of Nigel Farage

We are pleased to see that Richard North is back blogging after his recent heart operation. Here's to a speedy recovery!

Here is one of Richard's recent posts. It concerns the EU and Nigel Farage:

Maybe it is just post-operative blues, but I'm struggling to get back into the frame, with the news agenda lacking any apparent coherence. We are seeing much the same EU stories as before, nothing has been resolved and the UK political position is no further forward.

I am grateful, therefore, to Witterings from Witney, for picking up a comment of mine on the Norwegian situation, brought up by Cameron in his Lord Mayor's Banquet speech, and supposedly rebutted by Farage.

This affords me an opportunity to display some irritation (hey! I'm entitled occasionally) at the limitations of our "own" side. For, while one expects nothing of Cameron – or any of the other Tories who seem impervious to knowledge on the EU – one would hope that our own would take the time to find out something of the organisation of which they speak.

In the case of Norway, this is quite important, as the situation is deemed to be a weak point in the eurosceptic armoury. Even outside the EU, it is held, Britain would have to adopt common trading law, as does Norway but, unlike currently, we would lose any influence in its framing, having thus to adopt in the manner of Norway, laws sent to us by fax from Brussels - the so-called "fax law" option.

Bizarrely, Farage concedes this point, although it is not true and can easily be demolished. We have rehearsed it many times and wrote a definitive piece in May 2008, pointing out the actual situation. Most of these laws are not agreed by the EU at all, but by intergovernmental bodies such as UNECE, of which Norway (and the UK) is a member. The legislation is then processed by the EU commission acting in more of a bureaucratic than legislative role.

In other pieces, such as this, I have pointed out that there are dozens of UNECE-type bodies, which would also continue in place even if we left the EU, and through which we would continue to agree international standards, to which EU members would also be bound. Outside the EU, therefore, we would have just as much influence over single market-type law, adopted by EU members.

The down-side, of course, is that leaving the EU would actually provide less relief from petty regulation than we might imagine, although we could disapply much of it from the domestic market.

This though, is core knowledge which should be shaping the debate. But, tediously, one of the leading players continues to do nothing other than display his ignorance, having never troubled to expand his knowledge-set beyond the basic minimum.

And this is why UKIP risks being left at the starting gate, should we come to a real debate about the mechanics of leaving the EU. The Party has no more to offer than the Tories, and that is perilously little.

One sees, for instance, the halt and the lame in that direction, talking blithely about which powers to repatriate and how they would go about reclaiming them, demonstrating absolutely no practical understanding of the complexities involved.

Strangely, of all the policies at present managed by the EU, the first we should claw back is the research programme. This is quite simply because, to repatriate powers, we must replace policies – otherwise there is no point in so doing. And those that are aware of the processes will be aware that a huge amount of policy development (a complex, expensive and time-consuming process) is funded under the research programme.

Thus, is order to reclaim powers, we must develop new policies and, to do that, we must reclaim the policy-making tools.

And so do we need coherence in the debate. Leaving the EU is eminently practicable, possible and necessary, but only if we are able to offer a credible and realistic pathway. To its shame, the eurosceptic community has yet to deliver on this and, when we hear the likes of Farage parade his ignorance, we wonder how longer we are going to have to wait.

UKIP - HUMOUR RARELY GOES UN-NOTICED IN POLITICS!
& Clearly Farage is not without humour all be it he is without manners or leadership skills!

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

Hi,

'HUMOUR RARELY GOES UN-NOTICED IN POLITICS!'

Such a pity that Nigel Farage leader of The EFD in The EU and UKIP when in Britain behaved like an ill mannered schoolboy in his speech attacking the whey faced non entity van Rumpoy that has gained such notoriety and for which he was rightly called to account.

It is particularly sad that his words regarding von Rumpuy were so very true yet despite Farage's well displayed competence as a speaker and his obvious humour he so demeaned Britain by his behaviour at the time as do a number of his parasites in The EFD/UKIP on a regular basis with their outspoken support for racism, anti Judaism and sexual intollerance which they financially aid.

UKIP's associates in the EU in Farage's EFD make the posturings of The BNP (which seems on the verge of implosion despite UKIP help) seem pretty tame.

Here is Farage at his best in humour terms:

UKIP: Twit-twhoo are you, Mr van Rompuy?

From the official website:

Herman van Rompuy's Twitter efforts brought a wry smile to the face of UKIP Leader Nigel Farage.

The European Council president, tweeted a haiku:

"In the dead of night/an owl's hoot echoes in the void. / Hardly a soul listens.
Twitter

Mr Farage said in response: "Hermann Van Rompuy has just tweeted the world's shortest autobiography.

"When I read it, I immediately thought, 'Just like you old boy'. Van Rompuy IS a hoot... and no-one listens.
His plans to save the Euro in its present form are like a hoot before the raging bull of the financial markets. Totally useless.

"I see that German support for the EU has fallen to an all-time low and only 4 per cent of Germans know who Herman Van Rompuy is.

"I am sure, if it had not been for my speech last year, only 2 per cent of the people would know of him. I did the man a huge favour... for which they fined me.

"Last February, I told van Rompuy 'No-one ever heard of you. Who are you?' It appears I was right."

Would that UKIP concentrated on the job for which they were elected eg. campaigning to get Britain out of The EU rather than making fools of themselves stuffing their pockets on the gravy train and supporting http://thebnp.blogspot.com/ and other extremists.

It is astonishing that after 17 years UKIP has merely capitalised on the corruption of MPs as perceived - has only 2 MEPs left who reject extremism (Mike Nattrass MEP, Nikki Sinclaire MEP) and has only 14 elected Councillors out of some 19,500 available elected seats!

As a long term supporter of UKIP I find this a tragic betrayal of the aims and principles of the members at large by the self serving leadership and its salaried praise singers.

2010-12-02T01:22:00.116Z

#NF029* - 02-Dec-2010 - Justin ADAMS Pilot in Court & Nigel FARAGE MEP of UKIP

Hi,

Having spoken with Justin Adams at some length in July, when he called me for assistance after the accident
&
Read
Air Accident Report: 11/2010 G-BWDF EW/G2010/05/03 - UKIP Banner Dragging!
which can be seen if you CLICK HERE
also
01-Dec-2010 - Justin Adams pilot in Court re: Nigel FARAGE
which you can view if you CLICK HERE

I can only speculate based upon my personal knowledge but unlike some of the muck rakers and dipsticks trying to point score such as the childishly styled Baron von Lotsov or the team publishing as Skeptyk with little other than abuse and distortions let us stick to the known facts.

You will recall that back in the summer I published some details in praise of Farage's responsible behaviour and concern for others relative to the accident. Notably no one else took up these facts and all we received was the idiotic posturing of Farage as some sort of Messianic hero for having 'got lucky' in an accident!

Justin Adams & Nigel Farage were in a light aircraft dragging a banner when a classic accident took place - I say 'classic accident' as it would have been near impossible to replicate by design as the report CLICK HERE not only found but shows in some detail.

There is no doubt that the accident had marked effects on both Adams and Farage.

Justin Adams, as the pilot, had nothing but praise for Farage - which I have written about elsewhere. Farage had taken the attitude that there are two of us in this mess - you are a trained pilot and no doubt have no desire to die - admitting there was nothing he could do other than tighten his seat belts and take on an ashen silence!

May I remind readers that Farage suggested avoiding the village of Charlton, adding to their own risk but minimising the risk to others - FOR WHICH FARAGE & ADAMS are to be commended.

Hanging upside down in his straps and concussed Farage's comment that he could do with a fag - may well be interpreted as a death threat in view of the 90liters of fuel pouring over the pilot which led to hypothermia and also the fuel was running over Farage! Fortunately Farage had the presence of mind to avoid indulgence - that alone seems unusual!!

I do appreciate that Justin Adams at the first opportunity advised Farage that he was heavily insured and expected Farage to capitalise on this fact.

Adams was also far from happy at the delays by the aurthorities in producing their report exhonourating him - if ANY criticism could be laid at his door it would be the judgement call of landing on the grass to avoid sparking when the manual suggests landing on tarmac to exploit the reduced friction and probability of flipping.

Yes Adams was annoyed at two things the first he openly voiced, being the slow progress of the authorities the second - minded that he is a Tory and knows little of Farage he wanted to check Farage's phone number - though I gathered he had intentionally distanced himself so as not to damage any claim Farage may wish to make.

I am also aware that Farage claimed that last Friday complaining they were harrassing him or some such. It seems he had been phoned once and personally contacted also as openly reported.

I would not be remotely surprised if Justin Adams had been verbally 'difficult'.

Justin Adam's experienced an air crash - such traumas have different effects on different people.

A frioend of mine has only just started requiring serious treatment for the flash back effect of his experiences in Aden as a Para sniper - I can well understand how he feels just as a friend of mine spent days talking with me when he was blown to bits in The Falklands. My own Father woke at least once a week with nightmares from his time as a fighter pilot and the work he did in the liberation of Bergen Bergen Belsen whilst with 350 Squadron - that continued until he died in his 80s.

Everyone reacts to trauma differently.

Justin Adams hung upside down soaked in fuel whilst his arm was trapped against the exhaust burning! Justin Adams has been in and out of hospital several times with damage to the digestive tract - he has lost several stone in weight and his livelihood has been trashed - he owned the plane and it was a write-off.

Sadly during this trauma Justin Adams found himself facing a divorce.

Yes I can understand Justin Adams behaving stupidly but based on my conversations with him and the opinions of friends who have spoken to him I rather hope the Court will consider the background to the claimed accusations.

May I remind everyone that my comments are NOT definitive but are based on some experience.

There is of course the possibility that we have unearthed a mad axe man or worse still created one but I have my doubts ;-)

I believe it would be irresponsible of me to provide further facts or speculation as the case is now 'Sub Judice' and justice may be denied by the speculation of those with insufficient information.

Crash pilot 'threatened to kill UKIP's Nigel Farage'

The plane crashed after a banner trailing behind it became entangled with the tail-fin

The pilot of the plane which crashed with UKIP leader Nigel Farage on board has been charged with threatening to kill him in a separate incident.

The aircraft came down in Hinton-in-the Hedges airfield, Northamptonshire, on 6 May - the day of the general election.

Justin Adams, 45, from Faringdon, Oxford, appeared before magistrates in the city on Tuesday charged with two counts of making threats to kill.

He was remanded in custody to appear before the same court on 7 December.

No plea was entered.

It is believed the second count Mr Adams faces relates to the threatening of an aviation official.

The pilot was arrested at his home by Thames Valley Police on Sunday and charged the following day.

An Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report said the crash happened when the banner trailing behind the plane became entangled in the tail-fin.

Nigel Farage was campaigning to become an MP at the time of the air crash

This caused the plane's nose to drop, the report said.

Although Mr Adams "maintained some control of the aircraft" he could not prevent it crashing, the report added.

Mr Farage suffered broken ribs, bruised lungs and facial injuries, while Mr Adams was trapped in the wreckage of the aircraft for a time and also needed hospital treatment.

Mr Farage was campaigning against Commons Speaker John Bercow for the constituency of Buckingham at the time of the crash. He failed to take the seat from Mr Bercow.

Synopsis
During an attempt to tow a banner the tow line became wrapped around the tailplane, causing a nose down elevator input. The pilot maintained some control of the aircraft but could not prevent it from impacting the ground.

History of the flight
© Crown copyright 2010 67
AAIB Bulletin: 11/2010 G-BWDF EW/G2010/05/03
Figure 1.

The aircraft took off from Runway 06 at Hinton-in-the-Hedges for the purpose of towing an advertising banner.

The pilot was sitting in the left seat and the right seat was occupied by a person intending to receive text messages from colleagues on the ground giving locations where the banner could be shown to maximum effect.

The pilot made two attempts to engage the banner during which the grapple hook attached to the aircraft failed to engage the banner tow line.

An observer on the ground advised that the grapple hook had deployed correctly but was unsteady in the aircraft’s slipstream. The pilot made two more unsuccessful passes before positioning for a further attempt.

He reported that during the final pass the aircraft was at the correct height and speed and was aligned correctly between two pick-up poles that held the tow line off the ground for grappling.

As the aircraft passed the poles, the pilot initiated a sharp pull-up, applied full power and glanced over his right shoulder to see whether the grapple hook had engaged the tow line. He recalled seeing the tow line “snake” upwards between the trailing edge of the wing and the leading edge of the tailplane and loop over the elevator.
When the slack in the tow line had been taken up and the banner was in the air, the pilot found that the control column was being pulled forward with a force that required both hands to resist.

He managed to hold the aircraft level at what he estimated to be approximately 300 ft agl and, as there was nowhere to land straight ahead, decided to fly a circuit and approach the grass north of the main runway.

The recommended procedure to be applied in the event that the tow line hooked around the main landing gear or tail wheel was to fly a steep approach so that the aircraft remained below the banner until touchdown. The pilot judged that insufficient nose-up pitch authority remained to attempt a steep approach and decided instead that a shallow flapless approach would be controllable.

When the aircraft was approximately 35 ft agl on final approach, the control column was pulled forward with a force that the pilot could not resist. Then, as the nose dropped, the forward pressure on the control column reduced and he was able to raise the nose to achieve a level attitude, but this did not prevent the aircraft from hitting the ground with a high rate of descent. The impact separated the engine from its mounts and collapsed the landing gear.

As the fuselage hit the ground, the front section dug in and the aircraft pivoted forwards, coming to rest inverted. The right seat occupant was able to leave the aircraft after his harness was released by witnesses, but the pilot’s foot was trapped until freed by the attending fire service.

Photographic evidence
A photograph of the aircraft on one of the attempts to engage the tow line showed that the grapple hook had not deployed but was still attached to the aircraft beneath the left side of the cockpit. A later photograph showed the hook trailing behind the aircraft but it was not possible to determine when the hook actually deployed.
Other photographs showed that the tow line was wrapped around the left elevator from the trailing edge to the hinge between the elevator horn balance and the tailplane (see Figure 1, which shows the tow line after cutting by personnel on the ground). Marks on the paint in the internal gap between the tailplane and horn balance were consistent with the tow line rubbing against the two surfaces.
Banner Towing Operations Manual
The operator’s Banner Towing Operations Manual recommended that if the tow line became caught on the aircraft’s main gear leg, the pilot should land:
‘preferably on a hard surface to minimise the ground drag of the banner.’

The manual also stated that a steep approach would:
‘keep the banner at or above the height of the aircraft.’
The procedure did not refer specifically to fouling of the elevator.
Pilot’s assessment of the cause
The pilot operated the hook release mechanism only once and was unaware that the hook had not deployed immediately. Photographic evidence, along with the report from the observer on the ground, suggested that the hook deployed sometime between the first attempt to engage the tow line and the last. However, the pilot believed throughout that the hook had deployed correctly and did not modify his usual technique for engaging the tow line. He believed, therefore, that subsequent events were unlikely to have been caused by the hook’s failure to release immediately.
After the aircraft had picked up the banner, the pilot believed that tension in the tow line combined with its downward angle created a nose down elevator input that he could barely overcome. He considered that on the final approach, the banner made contact with the ground when the aircraft was at approximately 35 ft agl, which increased the tension on the tow line momentarily and pulled the control column forward.

Tension in the line was relieved as the aircraft descended, allowing him to raise the nose to a level attitude before impact.

#NF026* - Nigel FARNDALE Writes 3,200+ Words On Nigel FARAGE's UKIP: Floccipaucinihilipilification

#NF026* - Nigel FARNDALE Writes 3,200+ Words On Nigel FARAGE's UKIP: Floccipaucinihilipilification

Nigel FARNDALE Writes 3,200+ Words On Nigel FARAGE's UKIP Floccipaucinihilipilification!
The study of nothingness proves an irrelevancy!

Hi,

It is quite astonishing that a consumate journalist like Nigel Fandale can write an essay of over 3,200 words about ANY individual and display just how clearly he perceives the subject of his essay as vacuous, and of no gravitas or visible competence beyond that of a self centered, self serving, dishonourable empty vessel.

To be fair Farndale does find Farage sociable - going on to portray him as little but a fool.

In an essay of this length in a broadsheet one would expect some revelation of values, vision, aim - even perhaps some thanks or inclusion of praise of his team - it is necessary to keep reminding oneself that the essay is about a supposedly leading politician on an income or at very least cost to the tax payer of over £1Million a year - yet the article portrays nigel Farage as of no greater worth to his party, our Country or the body politic than some footballer's WAG.

Do read the article for yourself and draw your own conclusions:

Nigel Farage: born to rant

He's compared a fellow politician to a 'damp rag', had an extra-marital fling - and survived a plane crash. How facing death has softened the UKIP leader - a little...

By Nigel Farndale 1:00PM GMT 18 Nov 2010

Even Nigel Farage’s enemies, of which he has an impressive collection, would have to admit that he has the recognition factor. Whether he is appearing on Have I Got News For You or becoming a YouTube hit after abusing the President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, telling him that he has ‘the charisma of a damp rag’, among other ripe comments, the 46-year-old UK Independence Party MEP knows how to get noticed.

Nigel Farage being pulled from the wreckage by UKIP PR man Duncan Barkes and a passerby

Sometimes it’s for the wrong reasons, such as when he had an extramarital fling, or claimed £2million worth of EU expenses over 10 years ‘to prove a point’, but he seems to take the Wildean view that, for a politician at least, there is only one thing worse than being talked about…

Today he stands out because he is the only man in this country pub in Kent, his local, wearing a silk-lined suit and tie and, generally, looking like a commodity broker, which is what he used to be. (Tin and cocoa.) He has lived here, not far from the Battle of Britain airfield Biggin Hill, all his life.

‘I was christened in that church,’ he says gesturing at the spire outside. ‘You can be rooted, have a sense of where you come from and what your values are, without being parochial.’

His recognisability is one of the reasons why, when Lord Pearson resigned as leader of Ukip in August, all eyes turned to Farage. He had done the job before, resigning last year so that he could concentrate on trying to win a seat in Westminster. Ignoring the convention that the Speaker is normally returned unopposed, Farage stood against John Bercow and lost.
‘The one thing I couldn’t know was whether Cameron would endorse him,’ he says with elongated vowels that are a little like those of Frankie Howerd. ‘I thought he wouldn’t. I was wrong. I take chances. I rush into things. But I don’t regret things.’
Last week Farage was re-elected as leader of Ukip. His message to his troops, he says, is that they need to be more disciplined and better funded. Intriguingly, he compares Ukip to the Tea Party. ‘We’re not religious like they are and we’re not affiliated to the equivalent of the Republican Party, but in terms of the howls we hear from people who feel outraged that their voice is not being heard in Westminster, there is a comparison.’

Though Farage can rarely be accused of avoiding confrontation, he did brood long and hard over whether or not to stand as leader. ‘The internal squabbling can be very tiresome,’ he says. ‘But so many young people have told me I was the reason they joined the party that I feel it is my duty. But the main consideration, the reason I hesitated, was that I am still recovering from a pretty major accident.’

The qualifying ‘pretty’ doesn’t give quite the whole picture. On the day of the General Election in May, Farage even managed to upstage David Cameron when the two-seater plane he was flying in got tangled in the Ukip banner it was trailing and crashed shortly after take-off from an airfield in Northamptonshire.

Does he get flashbacks? ‘Sometimes.’ Trouble sleeping? ‘Never slept before, so that’s OK. It does come back to me occasionally. It wasn’t a good position to be in.’ He had a relatively long time to contemplate his fate that day. ‘I had about four or five minutes of staring death in the face. You almost adopt the 1916 subaltern mentality: if it’s going to happen, let’s get it over with quickly.

‘When the pilot said to me: “Nigel, this is an emergency”, I knew exactly what that meant. I could see the sweat on his temples and I could see him fighting to keep control. He said to me a couple of weeks afterwards that I had been very calm, but what else was I supposed to do? I reasoned that he didn’t want to die any more than I did, so if I was panicking or making calls on my mobile that would just make the difficult job the pilot had harder.’

If he had called someone it would have been his wife presumably? ‘Presumably, yes,’ he says with a laugh.
For all his epic rudeness on the political stage, Farage, in person, is a cheerful soul who laughs a lot and has a toothy cartoonish smile. He has something that he claims Van Rompuy lacks: charisma. But he seems to have no self-pity.
He remembers tightening his seat belt as the plane went into a dive. ‘The slowest bit was the time between the nose hitting and the plane rolling over, it must have taken three quarters of a second, yet I remember it vividly, that feeling of time slowing down. I can still hear that noise.

‘Bang! And as we were going over there was a flash of light and I remember thinking with shock: “My God! I’m still alive!”’ Then he realised he was trapped upside down in the wreckage. ‘Horribly disorientating. I could feel my chest was smashed in.’ (Later it emerged that his sternum and ribs were broken, and his lung punctured.) ‘Then I thought, I’m going to burn to death because I was covered in petrol, in my hair, everywhere and that was pretty scary I tell you. When the rescuers came and asked me calmly if I was all right they got an earful of Anglo Saxon!’

A photograph of Farage trapped in the wreckage, and another of him looking bloodied and dazed as he stood up for the first time soon swept the internet. Simon Pegg, star of the spoof zombie movie Shaun of the Dead, was joking, within hours, that there had been a swing to the Zombie Party.

Did that upset Farage? ‘No. I wasn’t bothered about it. Those photos capture the feeling of being smashed. They were quite intrusive though and if I had died there would have been a hell of a row. If I’d snuffed it in the ambulance. But I didn’t die, so there you are.’

Does he feel almost invincible now? ‘Well, I’ve had testicular cancer and been in a big car crash before but that was when I was younger. Look.’ He rolls up his trousers and points to a bulge of bone under the skin on his leg. ‘It was easier to bounce back from that.’ As for the cancer, which led to one of his testicles being removed, he says he doesn't find it uncomfortable to talk about.

‘In fact, I think the more men avoid talking about it the more dangerous it is. But this plane crash was different. I have to be realistic. The back is really not good. It is hard getting through a long day. I look all right. I’ve lost weight. Got a bit of a suntan, but when I wake up in the morning and try and put my socks on, I am quickly reminded of what happened.’

He says his approach, now that he has been re-elected as leader of Ukip, will be that of the older boxer. ‘I won’t be as fast but I will be able to box cleverer. Mentally, I feel fine, though I dare say there are those who would question what my mental health was like before the accident!’ The raucous laugh again.

One way in which the accident changed him, he says, is that he thinks he is less impulsive now, less bullish. ‘And less ebullient. That has been tempered. I have been thinking about that because I have always been the most ridiculous optimist. When I was in the City I always thought the next trade would be the big one.’

Did he take stock of his life in those four minutes? He nods thoughtfully. ‘I did think, why is this happening to me? Have I been that awful?’

And did he conclude that he has led a good life? He thinks long and hard before answering, which is not typical. He is never normally lost for words, as those who have been on the receiving end of his articulate and often amusing tirades in Brussels know well.

‘I’ve never really set out to hurt anybody either physically or mentally,’ he says eventually. ‘Not really. Never stolen anything. I think I’ve been reasonably honest. Is that leading a good life? You can regret you didn’t do more for your children but, on balance, I think I’ve tried to do what I thought was right. I don’t feel ashamed of the life I have led.’

Broadsheet readers may have missed reading about it, but in 2006, Farage, who has been married twice and has four children, became the target of a tabloid kiss-and-tell when a woman from Latvia claimed she met him in a pub in Biggin Hill and then ended up back at her place having sex ‘at least seven times’.

The revelation led to the joke ‘Ukip if you want to’. So. The extramarital affair?

‘Well, we’re all human. There is a big difference between that sort of thing and being really bad.’ And the expenses scandal? ‘Well, that was nonsense. I was trying to make a point about the Brussels gravy train, but it didn’t work. None of it went to me. Most of it went on my staff, on administration.’

And the accusations of racism? I remind him of David Cameron’s dismissal of Ukip as ‘fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists’. ‘Yeah we constantly have to fight against that prejudice. It was a bloody stupid thing for him to say and he’s never repeated it.
‘What he was doing was insulting his own party because most of his members broadly agree with what we are saying about Europe, people like Norman Tebbit, who is very popular within the Tory Party.’

Has Farage ever used the N-word? ‘Not since I was 15, a kid in the playground at school when you were all roundly abusing one another. No, that was a myth put about by Dr Sked [disenchanted Ukip founder Alan Sked].’

The mainstream parties may unite in their attacks on Ukip, ‘the BNP in Blazers’ is one of the insults, but, as Farage notes, much of the abuse directed at the party comes from within. The most spectacular bit of in-fighting was started by Robert Kilroy-Silk after he attempted a coup and then left Ukip in a huff to set up his own party, Veritas.

Kilroy-Silk described Ukip as ‘Right-wing fascist nutters’. Farage, in turn, dismissed Kilroy-Silk as a vain, orange buffoon and a ‘monster’.

At this point in the interview, Farage asks me: ‘We are the same age, how did you find growing up in the Seventies with the initials NF?’ It is my turn to laugh. Yes, I agree, they were unfortunate initials, but growing up in rural Yorkshire they probably didn’t hold as much significance as they would have done for him growing up in south London.

‘Yes, I was very aware of them because I was at school not far from Brixton. [At Dulwich.] During the Brixton Riots the police used our school as their headquarters.’

But let us return to the question about his leading a good life. He has an unusually laddish reputation for a politician. Does he feel this compromises him politically? What, for example, about his professed penchant for lap dancing clubs?
‘Lap dancing? Don’t have the time these days, but I used to go to them. Like it or not, they are a fact of life. You are talking about normal behaviour there. Everyone does it.’

Do they? I never have. ‘Why not?’ Because it’s exploitative, demeaning for both parties and tantamount to prostitution.
‘Prostitution and lap dancing are not the same thing, they can be but not usually.’ But aren’t conservative-minded politicians like him supposed to believe in family values?

‘Yes, but I am also a libertarian. I think prostitution, for instance, should be decriminalised and regulated. I feel that about drugs, too. I don’t do them myself but I think the war on drugs does more harm than the drugs themselves. I am opposed to the hunting ban and the smoking ban, too. What have they got to do with government? The one thing I cannot be accused of is hypocrisy.’

Even though his extreme libertarianism must have frightened the Tory horses, he was, nevertheless, once offered a safe Tory seat. ‘It wouldn’t have worked though, would it? I wouldn’t have lasted a fortnight before having the Tory whip removed. Besides, I think I’ve managed to do more outside the Tory Party than in.’

He did start out as a Tory though. Indeed, being an aspiring Thatcherite he chose not to go down the university route, preferring instead to follow his father into the City and make his fortune. He worked there for almost 20 years before having a political epiphany the night Britain joined the ERM in 1990.

‘I was convinced it was the wrong thing to do.’ Then came the overthrow of Margaret Thatcher. ‘The way those gutless, spineless people got rid of the woman they owed everything to made me so angry. I was a monster fan of Mrs Thatcher. Monster. Hers was the age of aspiration, it wasn’t about class.’

The final straw for him was Maastricht. ‘I really worried. And I realised the views I heard in here, in this pub, weren’t being represented in Westminster. That was when I thought it was time I should enter politics and try to do something about it.’

He insists, though, that he is not a little Englander who is against foreigners per se, not least because his second wife, Kirsten, is German and their two young children are, or will be, bilingual.

But for all that, he does represent a party in the European Parliament whose sole desire is to get Britain out of the EU. And they have had some modest success. In the last Euro elections they did take nine seats in Brussels, which meant they beat Labour and the Lib Dems.

But now that the single currency has come unstuck, I ask, isn’t the war over? ‘Well, thank God it has collapsed,’ he says. ‘I used to wear the pound sign in my lapel every day but now I don’t. But this isn’t about the single currency anymore. The debate has moved on. It’s about taking back control over your working lives from Brussels.

‘Every day ordinary life in this country is affected by our EU membership, ordinary trades, not just farmers and fishermen. Nearly all our laws and regulations are now made for us in Brussels. And not only that, our membership of the EU costs us £40million a day.’

It is time to reload, his expression for a refill. How much does he drink? ‘That’s been diminishing for 20 years. Attitudes have changed. Because I like a couple of drinks with my lunch I am considered strange.’ Has he ever worried about alcoholism? His father, after all, had a drinking problem. ‘I’m lucky. I’m one of those people who can take it or leave it,’ he says.

In the pub, the locals all seem to know him. We talk about the recognition factor again and note that, such is the level of public ignorance or indifference about politics and politicians in this country, surveys show that there are even some voters who cannot say who the prime minister is.

Farage says this does not surprise him. ‘I mean, who is Cameron? What does he stand for? He’s so bland.’ He’s laughing as he says it.

‘Actually, he and I get on OK. We joined parliament at the same time and were on the same South East news programmes circuit. He was always nicking cigarettes off me. And he was the first person to send me a note after my accident. Same day. I really appreciated that.’

This makes you wonder whether Farage’s accident has mellowed him. After all, calling Cameron bland hardly counts as an insult by his standards. Ask van Rompuy. He probably still wakes up in a cold sweat at three in the morning thinking about the abuse he received from Farage on the floor of the European Council.

Rumpy, as Farage calls him, looked stunned at the time. ‘I just wanted to ask him who he was?’ Farage now recalls. ‘Who voted for him? I don’t use a script and the line about him having the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk came to me while I was listening to his speech.’

He used to think he was wasting his time there, doing those speeches in a parliament no one covers. ‘But then the YouTube thing has given me a new lease of life. It reaches big audiences.’

It sure does. One of the sites showing that clip has received around half a million hits and a clip of Farage putting the boot into Gordon Brown, also at the European Parliament, has had a quarter of a million visits.

‘Oh yes, well, Brown,’ he says. ‘Good God. He has no social graces. A non-person.’ So if Cameron goes to speak at Brussels as Brown did, should he expect a Farage barrage? ‘Bloody right. That’s what I’m there for. That’s what they vote for me for, to provide some entertainment. With the European Parliament stuff, I have tried to make it entertaining.’

Intriguingly, if you look on European versions of YouTube you will see Farage is always given the title ‘Oppositionführer’. ‘I know, I know,’ he says. ‘Great fun. It just means leader of the opposition.’ Would the Oppositionführer say he is now more recognisable in Brussels than the Führer, van Rompuy? ‘I don’t know about that, but if I am recognisable it is only because the others are so bloody awful, not because I’m good.’

He can still dish it out, it seems, post accident, and when I ask whether he can still take it he laughs again. ‘Whatever Mickey-taking you get on programmes like Have I Got News For You it is as nothing compared to leaving public school and going to work on the London Metal Exchange. There it was vicious, all day every day.’

He doesn’t want to go back to that old life, he adds, even if his new life does sometimes bring him unwanted attention. ‘The recognition is great until you are on the last train home on a Friday night,’ he says. ‘It’s the classic ‘‘I know you” moment. And there’s nowhere to hide! Generally when people do the ‘‘good on ya mate’’ it’s from people you are happy to have it from, cab drivers and so on.

But on that train when people have had a few drinks…’ He drains his glass, slams it down on the table and laughs again. Bloodied but unbowed.

I do not decry Nigel Farage's abilities as a performer but I believe that Nigel Farndale has grasped the essence of the man as a politician, a leader or a man of gravitas and vision - Trying to fill his page clearly proved difficult and the flanneling has all the characteristics of a schoolboy punishment essay on the 'Contents of a Ping Pong Ball'.

#NF025* - Ein Volk Ein Reich Ein Farage - Lebenstraum von EFD

This email has been doing the rounds. Every UKIP MEP was sent a copy. Some were amused, some were not. We at Junius thought that it should receive a wider audience.

Subject: FW: None of the above (including UKIP)

Do take a moment to read this devastating appraisal of Nigel Farage - first published in May of this year.

It would be criminal for a charlatan with a dangerously overheated ego, aka Nigel Farage, to be allowed to continue to lead UKIP???

None of the above (including UKIP)
Noel Lackland

http://critical-reaction.co.uk/2641/17-05-2010-it-wasn-t-the-squeaker-we-were-promised

Now that he is on the mend, one can ask the question that many have privately asked, but which they have refrained from raising while he was in hospital, out of good taste and also because, bluntly, there have been more important considerations in the political world over the past ten days. But just what in heaven’s name was Nigel Farage doing aboard that plane on election morning?

The polling stations were open in Buckingham, where he was opposing John Bercow in what he had promised would be a hard-fought battle. The tried and tested, efficient way to achieve electoral success is to spend the campaign weeks canvassing for your pledges – identifying your definite or at least, if as desperate as Farage clearly was, your likely supporters – and then concentrating your election day resources ruthlessly upon them in order to maximise your vote. But while the pocket-sized Speaker was tearing round the constituency from dawn on May 6th in his usual fashion, UKIP’s ex-leader was many miles away at an airfield in Northamptonshire, posing for press photos (just in time for Friday’s local papers!) as he strapped himself up and all the while getting out precisely zero per cent of his Buckingham pledges.

It’s arguable whether or not trailing a “Vote UKIP” banner high in the skies around the Home Counties, as was the plan, could ever have been an effective polling day tactic, but, even if could have got the votes out, why did Farage have to be in the plane? Here was the man who said he would “professionalise” his party upon becoming its leader in 2006, neglecting the most elementary requirements of electioneering, the sort that a twelve-year-old could grasp, in order to indulge in what was, in terms of the necessity of his own presence, nothing but a jolly jape at best, and a vanity project at worst.

It’s little wonder that Farage, by his own admission, was so out of touch with the Buckingham voters, absurdly saying, ‘I wasn’t to know just how popular Bercow was with his constituents’, which could have come straight out of the Alex Ferguson Book of Lame Excuses. A quick glance at the archives shows that UKIP had stood candidates against Bercow in at least the two previous elections. Is Farage suggesting that his Buckingham party colleagues had gleaned absolutely nothing about their major opponent in all that time? On the evidence of his own approach to marshalling the vote, perhaps they hadn’t.

Worse still, Farage is so out of touch with Buckingham that, even after the event, he has managed to draw the wrong conclusion. In an election in which none of the major parties stood against the Speaker, over 24,000 people still chose to vote against him (and that’s deliberately not counting those who voted BNP). On any scale, that’s a lot of evidence against Bercow’s overwhelming popularity. The problem for Farage, about which he is conveniently saying nothing, is that two thirds of them chose to express that evidence next to a name other than his own.

Perhaps Farage is simply unaware of the result. Certainly the UKIP press office struggled to interpret it, declaring, in one of the most stupid pieces of spin imaginable, that Farage was ‘the leading candidate amongst the ten who had (challenged) Bercow … in third place behind John Stevens’.

The bigger issue which both Farage and his successor as UKIP leader, Lord Pearson, must address is this: May 2010 was truly the “none of the above” general election, the first in living memory when not one of the main parties could happily let the results speak for themselves. In such circumstances, UKIP ought to have been perfectly positioned as the leading “none of the above” party. If it was unrealistic to expect that it could have matched its vote in the last two European elections, when different factors were at play, it was not unrealistic to expect that it should have polled much better than the 3% that it managed.

But when handed the ball in front of an open field, UKIP, instead of running with it, immediately kicked it into touch. We had the bizarre sight, surely unique in electoral history, of its leader campaigning with another party’s rosette. Equally uniquely and equally bizarrely, Pearson also advised electors to vote for the Tory candidate in a constituency where his own party was standing. That was in Wells, where the Tory candidate still lost. Up the road in Stroud, Farage was doing his bit by backing another rival candidate, Labour this time, describing him as ‘a good egg’ despite the fact that he was shown to have tabled a Commons EDM calling for an EU directive to be tightened up and properly enforced. No matter, he lost too.

What sort of message were all these shenanigans sending out to the electorate? UKIP has long claimed to be the anti-establishment party, yet here it was, backing all sides of the establishment at its own candidates’ expense. One final clue to all this can be found by revisiting that strange interview given by Farage, post-crash (and you take that as a bad pun if you wish). He put his “miscalculation” about Bercow down to the Speaker being ‘somebody who is pretty unpopular amongst the Westminster set’.

And there you have the reason UKIP is missing its current opportunities, in a nice little nutshell. The Westminster set will tell you that Nigel Farage is a common sight around its watering holes these days, both inside and outside the House, a rather sad sight too, given that he sits in another ‘parliament’ a couple of hundred miles away. No wonder then that, on his own admission, Farage’s political antennae are attuned more closely to that set, that establishment, that elite, than to the ordinary voters in Buckingham and up and down the rest of Britain too.

Of course Farage is guided by the Westminster set. He’s part of the Westminster set. And when it comes to the political establishment, UKIP, sad to say, isn’t part of the solution – it’s part of the problem.

Tim CONGDON's TEAM OFFERS DIRECT DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES 19-Oct-2010

NEITHER FARAGE or BANNERMAN OFFER OPEN HONESTY!

Put your questions to Tim and Gerard

Hi,

as ever UKIP have proved they are UTTERLY without Morality, Completely Without Integrity and bereft of Principles.

The fake leadership placement of Pearson was only marginally less farcicle than his ineptitude in the job keeping Farage's seat warm. Farage had no choice but to go along with it as it seems Stuart Wheeler had refused to put anything into UKIP's General Election campaign if Farage was leader - we understand that having read this blog & Junius and dipped into the squabblings on Butcher's squalid little Forum he had come to the VERY convinced position that Farage was working for himself.

Butcher's Forum showed just how vile many of the parasites within UKIP were, with the taunting and lies of, smears and abuse of people like Douglas Denny, Mick McTrough, Independent UKIP, Croucher Skeptyk and others and just how many and accurate are the critics of UKIP.

Clearly the chicanery and corruption surrounding Farage & Bannerman is indisputable - whether directly by them or on their behalf by their corrupt 'placements'.

The Leadership hustings have been a total farce with Farage/Bannerman placemen like the oleaginous oik Peter Reeve 'orchestrating' the hustings and selecting the questions and who shall ask them - it could be argued that UKIP has, if nothing else, learned from The EU how to more competently abrogate on their duties and befoul the concepts of democracy.

The purpose of the hustings is for the members to question and cross examine the candidates NOT for a paid handler to bring on his performing monkey and supply it with exactly the peanuts it best performs on!

You will note that serial liars have much to hide and as The Times and other papers have shown us both Nigel Farage and David Bannerman are both liars, cheats and self serving - surrounded by their own corrupt placement. Now they perform their stunts as performers with little ability between them as we can see from the fact that jointly they have enriched themselves in the two leading positions in UKIP for many years - without honour, without integrity and without competence.

As a result UKIP obtained under 30 elected seats out of about 19,000 in Britain and by election to Westminster after 17 years ABSOLUTELY NO ONE within so much as shouting distance and with 3.1% only of the electorate who trusts The Farage Party and with no personalities, no gravitas and no apparent competence just one performing monkey being endlessly and immaturely rude to people in between childish stunts - just what part of society was expected to vote for such ghastly people.

With not a single solitary training session let alone program of training just look at the caliber of their staff, their PPCs even ignoring the criminality of their MEPs.

Clearly there are efforts to rig even the leadership election to hang onto control of the CASH - like the monkey with its fist stuck in the cookie jar for fear of letting go of the biscuit!

Tim Congdon with clearly NOTHING to hide is only too happy to be willing to hold an open session to answer member's Questions - I appreciate Gerard Batten has colluded in the corruption and abuse of members having NEVER spoken out and willingly endorsing the racism, anti Judaism, Xenophobic violence, pro EU policy, holocaust denial of his EFD group which it is expected will - when Farage is reinstated as leader of The MEPs on the 6th. even if he were NOT leader he is likely - TOTALLY against the wishes of the members of UKIP - to dump UKIP in favour of his Pan EU Political Party The EFD, which he chairs and which is ALREADY REGISTERED.

The only hope UKIP has is to wrest UKIP back from the corrupt and self serving scum that currently control it.

Even then it will be an uphill battle to re-establish UKIP as an entity of some probity that the more than 3.1% of the electorate are prepared to trust.

Tim Congdon's international reputation as a leading market economist, with his experience of Government over many years and with his independently successful track record may just manage to make UKIP electable - rid of the trash that has gathered around Farage's toilet seat on which he has enthroned himself!

#NF-023 - QUOTES MADE ON THE FUHRER!!

quotations for those that back Nigel !

Image via Wikipedia

Craig Mackinlay, ex Vice Chairman and Leader of UKIP, on internal UKIP elections: “I will not be associated professionally or personally with what has become a perverted and shambolic process. Threats from the Party Chairman . . . merely add to the stink that now surrounds this election.

Frank Maloney Boxing Promoter - UKIP Mayoral Candidate 2004 , PPC 2010- I stick by my opinions that ''Nigel is a schoolyard bully and I beleive that the other members have a right to know this'' 2010

”Roger Knapman, ex Party Leader and MEP: “UKIP MEP’s met and agreed a statement of practice - first that we would not go on ‘junkets’ to other countries and secondly that we would not employ our wives. This was to prevent us getting dragged into the comfortable EU world that leads to ‘going native’. I am now very worried that this agreement is being ignored and that the attractions of the European Parliament as a career may beckon to some; where the delights of plush new office suites, Brussels titles and internal parliament or IndDem Group politics are more attractive than our original purpose

Richard North, ex UKIP Chief Researcher, writing of Farage: “He cannot tolerate anyone in the party who he feels is or might be in a position to challenge him. He prefers to surround himself with incompetents and deadbeats. Anyone who emerges who might show an independent streak, he ruthlessly eliminates, to ensure that they cannot be seen as competition.”

And again: “(Farage) . . . spends the bulk of his time manoeuvring and scheming to keep himself in the dominant position, while presenting to the world his “boyish charm.

"Gregg Beaman, ex North West Regional Organiser and former MEP candidate: "As far as Farage is concerned I knew when I met him, during the Preston by-election in 2000, that he was the personification of vanity and ego with little behind that wafer thin facade. I have seen his childish temper tantrums when he doesn't get his own way, when I was on the NEC and later when I was on the Elections Committee. I have seen him bully people and have stood up to him when he has tried to bully me. He must be one of the coarsest most vulgar individuals I have ever come across. The proposed changes to the party constitution are a result of the complete lack of principle of the current leader and chairman and, it must be said, the lack of courage shown by certain members on the Party's NEC.

”Bryan Smalley, Party Secretary for two years, wrote of Farage: “He is dishonest and frequently makes untrue statements''

”John Petley, ex UKIP researcher: "It really is now too much to expect the party to be turned round. Even removing Farage as leader will not solve it. His cronies hold all the positions of power, and there isn’t the time to winkle them all out. Sadly, for all the undoubted good UKIP has achieved, it is time for it to be dismembered. The wound is too deep. The poison has spread too widely. In 2004, UKIP had a great chance to advance the argument for British withdrawal from the EU. With the right approach, the argument could have been won irrevocably by now. Independence is so noble an objective, and there is so much to support this assertion.So UKIP has had its chance and blown it. We are left with only one option - to start again, learning from UKIP’s successes but more importantly, its failures.

"Dr Eric Edmond, ex NEC member and former MEP candidate: "He (Farage) has packed the NEC with his unelected nominees Andreasen, Nuttall and Arnott etc clearly to push through yet more undemocratic practices and consolidate his personal hold on the party.

Anthony Scholefield, Party Secretary for three years stated: “A disturbing feature is that Mark Croucher, UKIP Press Officer, shows UKIP members’ details to Communists and Socialist Workers via Searchlight and Unite Against Fascism. Croucher reports to Farage.

David Abbott, ex NEC member : “Our leader issues an edict that MEP’s wives must not be on the MEP’s payroll. Then he is caught paying his own wife.”And again: “These new revelations were on top of all his (ie Farage) more obvious defects including total amorality, bullying, adultery, and drunkenness, vengefulness and lying.

#NF022* - DEEPLY WORRYING SIGNS OF MADNESS IN UKIP!

#NF022* - DEEPLY WORRYING SIGNS OF MADNESS IN UKIP!
.

Clean EUkip up NOW make UKIP electable!
.

The corruption of EUkip’s leadership,

their anti UKIP claque in POWER & the NEC

is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!
.

DEEPLY WORRYING SIGNS OF MADNESS IN UKIP!
Nigel FARAGE ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN HIS MESSIANIC POWERS!

;~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

And he seemed to lead a charmed life and be under some sort of supranatural protection.
He recounted how, during the election, he was in a plane with only a pilot, when a crash became inevitable and suddenly He felt, for no apparent reason, a powerful knowledge that he would be OK. No sooner had he realised this than he was calm and lo the plane it did crash seriously injuring the pilot Justin who has returned for numerous further hospital visits but it was not Justin who had been chosen…but He was spared for a greater mission and He was safe.
Hi,
that all sounds very much like The Kabalah to me, towards a better understanding of The New World Order, but I kid you not this is more or less what UKIP's 'Chosen One' is saying at the hustings - how ANYONE could be induced to consider this Party Performer to be other than a party performer when you consider the party had almost 30,000 members when he officially took over from Roger Knapman and the Messiah managed to lose every decent member of principle and integrity and lost virtually all those who were dedicated to grow the organisation, the intelligent and the hard workers - ALL dedicated to Britain's Patriotic future to Leave-The-EU.
Consider the calamitous collapse of The East Midlands under the guiding hand of Derek Clark MEP the admitted fraudster, underhand betrayer of his loyal staff, who betrayed our Country for his own gain and his Regional Organiser and family:

Between them they have steered UKIP membership in the Region from around 8,000 to under 800 - there seems to be no one left of any stature or ability in the area, save what seems to be a Circus Stunt Rider who proclaims his backing for Tim Congdon to lead the party, yet rides his other horse by signing Nigel Farage's papers as an asentor - there's honourable commitment by UKIP standards!
What a farcical muddle UKIP is in with yet another of the leadership candidates put forward as an utter no hoper to split the opposition vote for Farage and his only claim to fame is 4 years as a County Councillor for another Party and that his father owns a dest!

It would be hard to make up but then again when you think it couldn't get worse you realise:
Here is the original of Nigel Farage's quote:

And he seemed to lead a charmed life and be under some sort of supernatural protection. He recounted how, during WWI, he was in a trench with a group of fellow soldiers and suddenly felt, for no apparent reason, a powerful urge to move away from them. No sooner had he done so when a shell landed and killed them all…but Hitler was safe.

It is worrying when the leader of a small extremist Pan EU Party EFD group chooses for divine inspiration a man quite that evil - just look what Hitler did in pursuit of Unifying Europe which collapsed in a blood bathe and widespread famine!

WAS HITLER CHOSEN BY GOD.

Hitler's earliest followers believed he was "The Messiah. The Saviour. Jesus Christ," or even a god.

"Is he John the Baptist? Is he Christ?" --Josef Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister

Hitler was deeply interested in the occult and repeatedly stated he had been chosen by God and Divine Providence. In Mein Kampf and elsewhere, Hitler spoke of hearing voices and having divine visions, and relates the following episode:

"I was eating dinner in a trench with several comrades. Suddenly the Voice said to me, 'Get up and go over there.' It was so clear and insistent that I obeyed automatically. I rose to my feet, walked twenty yards, and sat down to go on eating. Hardly had I done so when a flash and deafening report came from the part of the trench I had just left. Every member in it was killed."

In Mein Kamph, Hitler relates that after he had been blinded by a gas bomb, and lay in a WWI military hospital, he again began having visions and hearing the Voice:

"And then the Voice thundered at me: 'Miserable wretch, are you going to cry when thousands are a hundred times worse off than you!?"

And then, the Voice spoke again and Adolf Hitler experienced a wonderful vision of the utmost clarity:

"I was being summoned to save Germany.... I would go into politics."

Hitler's perspective: He was chosen by God, or Divine Providence, but with a twist:

Let's pretend its 200 years ago, you are the Judeo-Christian God, and you have a problem:

How to get the Jews to return to Palestine and reestablish the state of Israel. Four thousand years ago, God sent Moses into Egypt, and after much loss of life, the 600,000 Jews were kicked out and forced, many unwillingly, to journey to the "Promised Land."

God, eventually kills all 600,000, including Moses, and millions of other hapless souls, and only the children of these Jews establish the state of Israel/Judea.

Four thousand years later, the Jews are living all over Europe and Russia.

Would these Jews voluntarily return to Palestine if God sends another "Moses?" Remember: the Jews didn't go willingly the first time. So what's God to do? He creates Hitler, who, at age 17, begins hearing the voice of "god." According to Hitler and the "voice", Hitler was chosen by Divine Providence to lead God's people back to the "promised land.

" Hitler's followers also believe he had been sent by god, by Divine Providence. It is "God's Will," says, Hitler, that he drive the Jews from Europe, and exterminate those who refuse to leave. When Hitler takes power, he does exactly that.

Two years after Hitler's death, Israel (which means "God's strength") is re-established as a state.
