I thought Farage was excellent last night. He was concise, sharp and to the point. He did not have Hislop to contend with and he had some UKIP friendly questions on Abu Qatada, commercial tax avoidance etc. Hettie Harman had the best line of the night on the Corby by-election where she said the joke doing the round was that the Tories were splittiing the UKIP vote. As I write the result has not been published so time will tell.
The most telling political point was when Farage pointed out that it was single market regulations pushed through by LibLabCon allowed corporations to choose where they are taxed so they of course go to the lowest tax regime! LibLabCon were dumbfounded at that.
The Eurozone news was that Greece and indeed the whole Eurozone area had increased their exports to non-Eurozone areas with German exports out of the EU up 5%! Exactly, that's where we should be not competing in an over crowed over supplied Eurozone where German industrial production is falling.
No Corby result but it looks good for UKIP. Farage certainly satisfies Napoleon's criteria for his generals. Don't tell me he is good, is he lucky? Well NF looks to have been lucky this weekend.

Hi,
for those of us supporting the core principles of UKIP we were again let down by unprofessional leadership, incompetent planning, undemocratic selection of candidates & the normal crass stupidity.
In Corby the result was a risible 14% getting nowhere near being elected despite all the money spent and the idiotic over egging of expectations.
Just how did UKIP think they would get a candidate elected when foisting on the electorate who only vote UKIP as a dustbin for their protest votes and a few willing to hold their noses as they vote to Leave-The-EU.
Just how were they likely to gain votes with an EU lobbyist lately from another party who quite clearly is a political prostitute seeking a way onto the gravy train by raising her profile to be an acceptable Farage placement on the MEP candidate list in 18 months time.
Farage’s placements to be announced at the last minute to ensure democratic choice of members can’t creep in!
Similarly we note Godfrey Blooms wife's sometime business partner Jane Collins peddling that historic picture of herself (a stunt best known in UKIP as having been used by Janet Girsman and copied by Marion Mason - Derek Clark also uses a similar stunt by using a picture in which he is awake!)
UKIP's results in the PCC farce were even worse! Our of 193 candidates for 41 places of over paid & irrelevant party hacks the people spoke loud and clear!
The turnout was the people speaking louder than ever since WWII with 84% totally rejecting the concept of PCCs - Politicians said PCCs would be the voice of the people and what a shock when they heard that voice!
UKIP did particularly badly with not a single candidate rising above the voter rejection in an election where there was every hope they might do well but they failed to field a single solitary credible candidate.
In an election where exposure would seem to have been the key one would have expected Godfrey Bloom to do better than being beaten into 4th. place as I would hazard a guess he has exposed himself more than most - even being banned from hotel chains for exposing himself to urinate in plant pots and arrested for exposing himself copulating with a black prostitute on the bonnet of a car on the public highway we are informed!
A few of us were attacked and ridiculed for our belief that Independent candidates were the future when we set up 'Independent Leave-The-EU Alliance' - though clearly we were ahead of our time and under funded our point is made.
In the PCC elections the score was, out of 41, Independents 12 UKIP ZERO.

CONTINUATION FROM COMMENT COMMENCED ABOVE:
The abject failure of leadership, risible lack of professionalism, odious corruption and endless pandering to cronies and squabbling with the racist and anti homosexual stance that has led to so much in fighting and back stabbing UKIP has totally let down its core electors and has very clearly failed as a concept.
20 years and they have achieved so very little with less than 30 elected seats of ANY note out of the 19,500 seats available by election!
UKIP keeps making complete fools of themselves with its blow hard clowns pronouncing how well they will do (we heard it in the last election, Barnsley, Corby, PCC, Buckingham elections etc. etc.)
UKIP even make the risible claim they ARE the 3rd. party in British politics when councillors & overseas seats included they have ZERO MPs and less than 30 total whilst even the increasingly unpopular and utterly odious LibDims have over 50 MPs - Whast planet do UKIP leadership live on or are they always drunk!
I know Farage especially employs fools to make him look competent and to praise him but surely he can not believe the drivel he has paid these low grade ingrates to feed him! Next he will have Praise Singers and Jesters (woops I forgot Annabelle Fuller, Mark Croucher, Gawain Towler, Gerard Batten, Derek Clark, Michael Heaver, Douglas Denny, Mick McGough etc. all queued up in their chicken costumes with their inflatable bulldozers and museum military toys all willing to lie and dissemble to enhance their rewards!)
Yes Farage as leader of the cult was quite good on Question Time having had 20 years practice as UKIP's sole spokesman - though clearly he & his hirelings have failed to convince, even when they tell the truth, being slapped down with ease when pointing out that when the EU makes over 75% of our laws & has a bigger bureaucracy than China clearly they ARE responsible for the ills of this country and much else beyond our borders.
UKIP as a Farage cult have proved beyond all doubt the British public don't trust them with their vote.
I remind you when even the Greens have an MP and the treacherous LibDims have some 50 UKIP has ZERO.
Do not forget in the PCC election UKIP ZERO Independents 12.
Do remember that out of 19,500 seats available by election UKIP after 20 years of utterly incompetent leadership and crass unprofessionalism has failed to get 30 seats of any meaning.
UKIP have become also rans competing with other non entities amongst which are Greens, LibDims, Robin Tilbrook, Plaid and the BNP!
The betrayal by UKIP has been near total! A fact I greatly regret as had they been competent, honest and professionalised they just might have been leading us out of the EU by now - sadly there is no hope of them having a place of any note when we Leave-The-EU with UKIP running along behind desperately trying to jump on the band wagon.
Regards,
Greg_L-W.
