I wholeheartedly support UKIP's core policy of withdrawal from the EU and negotiation of a Swiss type free trade agreement with Europe and Brussels. My problem is the current UKIP leadership seems to have no strategy to achieve these aims. Sitting on EU committees in Brussels does not further our policy aims. Indeed it is positively working against UKIP policy! This has to stop and the current leadership has to go and go quickly to stop it. Otherwise our cause is lost for my lifetime.
The current most effective advocate of our policy is Daniel Hannan, the Tory MEP. He has written another very effectice piece in today's Telegraph entitled,
"There is no harm in agreeing to disagree"
Cick on the title to read the full article. Hannan is still trying to get the Lisbon Treaty vote reversed, something the Farage UKIP Cabal gave up months ago to concentrate on their number one priority, getting on the EU gravy train.
Hannan is an outstanding politician, well educated, thoughtful and articulate. His latest YouTube interview done in the US market can be seen by clicking on the link below,
Hannan Latest YouTube Interview
Its beautifully crafted for the US market and rooted deep in Anglo Saxon democratic traditions embodied and articulated by Thomas Jefferson, the third US president and principal author of the US Declaration of Independence. It is a must watch piece, far more so than his attack on Brown.
Most significantly Hannan talks of how the Internet breaks the stranglehold of the leftist media if used correctly by a skilled, well educated exponent. He calls this disintermediation. Sadly, UKIP had such people but they have all left, appalled by the actions and selfishness of the UKIP ruling Cabal or been forced out by Farage. Farage and his Cabal are simply not in Hannan's league, intellectually, morally or in media skills but worse they deny the floor to those that are.
Getting 13 MEPs does not move us one step closer to getting out of the EU. It entrenches us deeper in the mire. Even if UKIP had 70 + MEPs the result would be the same and we would be even further embedded in the EU. The money such as it is remains largely in the MEP's own pockets and frankly money is useless without a plan on how to use it to achieve one's policy goals.
We need a new leadership and a new strategy. We need it soon and we need it in the UK. Let those who support the EU go to Brussels where they can be seen for the collaborators they are.

Another excellent article from Dr Edmond.
UKIP under Farage is not worth a single vote. But let us not forget that if we get rid of Farage we could end up with Bannerman or Nuttall as leader!
The whole lot must go or UKIP will be forever tainted by corruption and dishonesty.
Hi,
as a long term supporter of UKIP and a lifetime opponent of racism, bullying and corruption I aplaud your article.
It will be noted that I have without fails for a dozen years or more supported UKIP and made unreserved attack on individuals, politicians and organisations which are a part of the EU or espouse its further progress.
When it became clear to me with a great deal of inside knowledge and contacts, after many years of assistance to UKIP, that there was within UKIP a self serving, self interested, self important clique and claque best known as EUkip.
EUkip has done much harm to UKIP and would seem now to be all who derive income or status from their relationship with the EU. EUkip's leadership is seen by the reasearchers, translators, MEPs and others working in and on the EU project as no more than a part of the establishment project.
To be true they are seen as one of the more risible aspects of the EU and command absolutely no respect whether from those espousing or opposing the central projects of the EU.
EUkip has now gathered around it some of the most unpleasant racists, xenophobes,sexually intollerant advocates of ethnic cleansing and the slaughter of imigrants - presumably the politicians most like them as they permit them through 'job sharing' or more accurately 'job sharing out' to represent EUkip and thus Britain on some committees whilst EUkip members represent them on their committees.
I would contend that it is sloppy writing to use UKIP as a definition when talking of the MEPs, staff, leadership and their unpleasant supporters - they are accurately defined as EUkip, having largely gone 'native'.
The bribes, largesse and status available to those participating in the EU project are clear and generous such that one can not be surprised when they turn the loyalties of the weak and those without ethics, morality and integrity - those who would be happy to 'Go Native'.
UKIP is without leadership and EUkip has befouled the reputation of EUroScepticism and its most stalwart wing namely UKIP.
I most dedicatedly and relentlessly support EUroRealism, EUroScepticism & UKIP as a non racist, non xenophobic, sexually tollerant, caring, largely libertarian, patriotic group with no willingness whatsoever to remain a member of The EU - having myself rather larger horizons for my Country than the introspective, corrupt, navel gazing, communist styled, centralised and undemocratic EU - looking to a Britain of independence and values negotiating, trading and leading on a global basis with and through our natural alies and in their interest - The Commonwealth and The Anglosphere.
We are a global trading nation NOT the servants and lakeys of France & Germany (see Treaty of Elysee). Westminster is and has been our law maker for 1,000 years and so it should remain, not a rubber stamping office as an extention of the bureacracy of the behemoth of EUrope no longer answerable to the people or Britain (see: http://Irish-Referendum.blogspot.com)

Hi,
Only the ignorant, the weak, the bully, the duplicitous and the dishonest fear disagreement, debate and discussion.
It would seem you have met the leadership of EUkip and their supporters.
Clearly the truth can only be seen as a damaging weapon by the guilty.
Regards,
Greg L-W.
