Paul Nuttall was talked about as the next leader of UKIP. I suggest anyone still harbouring such thoughts click on the link below to see yesterday's North West Politics Show interview with Nuttall. The interview starts 54:00 mins into the BBC clip so if you unless you want to listen to a load of TUC waffle slide the cursor along to the 54 min mark.
Nuttall Interview
Nuttall, Farage's nominee as chairman, was clearly nervous, not listening to the questions and just spouting a pre-prepared line and generally giving a poor performance. The interviewer was asking about what UKIP was going to do at the General Election next year in 2010 and Nuttall spent a lot of time rabbitting on about the 2014 European Election, five years away. When she finally managed to drag Nuttall back on topic he stated that Bootle would be a UKIP target seat. The interviewer gaped at him and said but at the last general election when you stood you got 4% of the vote and Labour got 75%. She could have quoted the McEnroe comment, 'You cannot be serious'. Unfortunately Nuttall was, and looked very stupid when he then tried to go on about his good District Election result in Bootle.
The naughty BBC then showed a clip from an Andreasen interview about her resignation. She was relaxed and made her points well. She wanted a party with more mature experienced professional and business people running it. Nuttall, she said, did not think this important and wanted Youf as the Beeb call it. Andreasen then finished with a telling smirk of the cat who has got the cream.
Cut back to Nuttall whose answers re Andreasen's interview points were even worse than the non-answer to UKIP's GE ideas. He parrotted the Farage line re she would be very busy clearing up UK corruption and her resignation as UKIP Treasurer was a minor matter and they were all going to work together like happy bunnies etc, etc..Clearly baloney.
Watch it for yourself and form your own judgement. What emerges clearly is the paucity of talent at the top of UKIP and that Andreasen, and I hate to say this, is correct in her interview points. The problem is all the mature people with solid business and professional experience, doctors, barristers, bankers, accountants, businessmen with sound independent judgement have been purged from UKIP and its NEC by the Cabal. Nuttall is typical of what is left on UKIP's NEC. It is not an encouraging prospect.

Hi,
Yes I saw this and have seen numerous other clips of this foolish little man. Clearly the anti UKIP claque who have seized control of the party for personal gain are all merely interested in themselves.
Nuttall - even as Farage's puppet and placeman - stood little chance of being ELECTED leader and has stood aside as soon as coronation became impossible.
Clearly none of the untrustworthy anti UKIP cabal trust eachother - rightly I expect!
Astonishingly Farage admitted on the BBC "I wouldn't have handed over the leadership now if I thought we had a party that was split, if I thought we had a party that had problems".
It is clear that Farage hasn't a clue the damage done outside of his 'bubble' by his anti UKIP claque in the Farage fan club.
EUkip's EU results under Farage's failed leadership have been catastrophic with local and by election vote percentages remaining near static and not a single solitary MEP elected on merit!
EUkip's gain was merely in rejection of Westminster corruption and since EUkip & The BNP, whom Farage & Croucher did so much to help, held no seats at Westminster they were the beneficiaries.
Gains EUkip has failed to sustain as they were not earned on any concept of merit.
Now we see Farage's debased party utterly bereft of a possible competent, suitable leader of gravitas!
The anti UKIP claque in the NEC/leadership fan club & parasites have done untold damage.
Just watch the BBC interviewer patronising and taking the Mock out of EUkip's laddie!

Hi,
Oh dear yooof in the ascendancy.
For lack of a competent candidate some young lad fancies his chances of enhancing his CV.
Either Peter Lucas is putting forward his name and experience as a joke or he is a joke.
So it looks like EUkip's candidatesso far offer a wide choice of perversions from a homosexual woman who has already attracted attention of the meeeeja, a bisexual male hypocrite I understand, the dishonest cheat and liar Bannerman, an individual whom I gather recently assaulted a woman in a bar, the ridicously bad tempered and foul mouthed Nattrass.
Then we know Sreve Alison is thinking of standing as might Jonathan Arnott.
As I said on my blog it is fast turning into farce and it looks to me as if it just did with a lad with absolutely no experience, loads of theories from University debate and an us yet incomplete qualification.
I said recently it was fast looking as if Bob Feel Martinis might be a possibility - there are some worse already!
It starts to look like Farage has orchestrated the demise of the party by his abject failure as a leader providing no structure and clearly no visible leaders.
How very sad as it means we will all have to redouble our efforts now the anti UKIP claque have reduced the party to a EUkip farce beset with corruption, dishonesty, incompetence and lack of trust even amongst its current leadership.
Could the entire leadership and their staff be persuaded to leave and take EUkip with them and might there be a possibility of a rebuild of UKIP liberated from the anti UKIP claque?
Regards,
Greg L-W.
