Juncker is our best chance of leaving the EU

I have long been of the opinion that the EU is our best ally in trying to leave the EU, The selection of the mid European, federalist Juncker to head the EU commission will do wonders for our cause. Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves! Ever closer union will speed up under Juncker as will UK exit. Farage will claim the credit but it would be best if he just shut up and let Herr Juncker get on with our departure.

UKIP flaws exposed on Question Time

I rarely watch QT neither the panel, except when Starkey or Melanie Philips are on,  or  the audience are worth listening to however by accident I viewed last night's edition.  Paul Nuttall, UKIP's deputy leader and Farage toady was on. He was dreadful, a typical member of the cabal.

Nuttall illustrated the low quality of  UKIP MEPs. He even managed to make John Prescott look and sound like an intellectual heavyweight. The Islamic gent ran rings round him as did the former NoW executive editor. Poor intellect is a UKIP MEP characteristic but that is only one of UKIP's many flaws.

The Tory, Anna Soubry, former Tory student activist and TV media person annihilated Nuttall on his poor attendance record at Brussels and thus his failure to 'represent' his constituents. She rebuffed the Bootle boy's waffle by asking him to return his salary as he was not doing the job.

When I was on the SW MEP list I knew this was an inevitable line of attack the LibLabCons would use. In my 2008 hustings address I stated I would not take the EU bribe of an MEP salary but if forced to I would send it to UKIP. (I did say I would take the expenses I incurred in any trips I felt I had to make to Brussels.) I was vilified for this by the EU money driven UKIP cabal and I have no doubt it was a significant factor in my being driven out of UKIP.

It was a no brainer for me. I had seen how the Gerry Adams led IRA had avoided being tainted by British gold and kept faith with their cause leading to their eventual victory. UKIP at the top is dominated by carpetbaggers whom the EU have bought and controlled.

Sending MEPs to Brussels legitimises and supports the EU. It was a huge political mistake which will eventually eat up UKIP. Judas is forever linked to the 30 pieces of silver the Romans paid him to betray Jesus. The rotten money driven UKIP cabal have given the Europhiles all they need to crucify our cause.

Business as usual in Brussels. UKIP? What UKIP?

With his large motley army of MEPs Farage has advanced on Brussels. It has achieved nothing.  He has not even fought a preliminary skirmish at Quatre Bras like Wellington did 199 years ago. Farage's army is nowhere to be seen. Its like every World Cup since 1066. Brits make a lot of noise, paint their faces, travel out in triumph and then the Germans win on penalties.

It was the same in 1815 at Waterloo whose 199th anniversary it is tomorrow 18th June. Then the big pre-victory celebration was the Duchess of Richmond's ball (memo to Nigel best make Annabelle a Duchess it adds class which UKIP lacks) The ball was just warming up when at midnight the sneeky Frogs crossed the border and advanced on Brussels. The soon to be Iron Duke marched out at the head of his MEPs and got duffed up by the Frogs for the next 7 hours or so but in the nick of time the Germans arrived, stuck the ball in the back of the net and we had a famous victory that we could name railway stations etc after and so rub the Frog's noses in it for the next 200 years.

Worse the nasty Brits captured the Frog's team manager Napper Bonoparte and sent him off to St Helena where they don't play football so Napper died of boredom very conveniently for the Brits. The French have been after revenge for this for the last 200 years. Cunningly they have turned the Germans to support them and to inflict on the Iron Duke's successor, D Cameron OE aka Flashman, Herr Juncker who is a bully any English public school would be proud to call their own.. A case of our Eurobattles being lost on the playing fields of Eton perhaps?

Farage's very own Old Etonian the belted Earl of Dartmouth has not even got on the pitch and team manager Nigel is nowhere to be seen. As they say Nige if you can't beat them join them and you joined them a long time ago but you wisely didn't tell anyone!

How many more financial skeletons in UKIP's closet?

I was away in France so I did not find out the details of Farage's failure to declare a benefit in kind of £200 k as he was required to do under electoral law. Link below is to the Daily Mail story but all the papers ran it.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2656482/Nigel-Farage-facing-20-000-fine-election-watchdog-probes-failure-declare-200-000-worth-donations-party-2001.html

I was kicked off my elected position on UKIP's NEC over 5 years ago for asking questions about UKIP's finances compliannce with electoral law. The Mail story covers the last 10 years so includes my period on UKIP NEC. I was concerned as along with the other elected members I carried unlimited joint and several responsibility arising from any UKIP failure to comply with electoral law. Farage and the cabal had not realised this so I was amused to see the haste they moved to a limited liablity company after I had been kicked off.

A breech of electoral law is a criminal not a civil offence so even a limited liablity does not confer safety from personal responsibility. I felt I had only started to scratch the surface of this mess when I was kicked off the NEC by the cabal. It is now clear that the Electoral Commission and the press corps are going to take a great interest in UKIP's financial past in the run up to next year's General Election. What was a fringe party 5 years ago is now seen as a threat to the UK political establishment who will react viciciously. Can UKIP withstand such scrutiny? I doubt it.

What about all these new MEPs of Farage's new model professional party? Are their pasts squeeky clean? Will they be able to withstand the lure of EU lucre. Remember Farage has been on the EU payroll, salary and allowances these last 15 years and will have a large EU pension to comfort him in his retirement but not all will be so well provided for. Beans will be spilt eventually.

Annabelle Fuller in today's Telegraph plus G Fawkes pics

With a picture that the old buffers can peruse and judge. She appears to be claiming she has some mental health problems. She previously made allegations about  aTory MP. Ms Fuller seems to like appearing in the print media but she is obviously not Mrs Farage's cup of tea.

Read the piece for youself:

Farage has a woman problem in general & in particular

I have opined before in this blog that women voters do not find Farage's booze, fags and lads image attractive. It is confidence bulding to have this confirmed in today's Independent.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/newark-byelection-does-nigel-farage-have-a-woman-problem-9500789.html

I quote, "Survation, whose overall findings were very close to the actual result, found 36.8 per cent of men in Newark planned to support Ukip, compared with just 16.8 per cent of women."

"If women had backed the party in similar numbers, Mr Farage would today be celebrating his party’s first Westminster election victory."

Several women have made this same observation to me over the years that they don't like Farage and won't vote for him. Its impossible to win fptp elections when you have over half the voters are women and of those 80% or so will vote against you. 

This more than any other statistic shows UKIP needs a new leader if they are serious about getting us out of the EU. Diane James is the best person to lead UKIP. Farage, Nuttall, Helmer, Legge etc should be binned asap. The problem is that UKIP women don't like voting for other women in party slections but common sense dictates UKIP needs a woman leader. Julia Reid would make a good deputy for Mrs James.

The particular woman problem Farage has is  Annabelle Fuller. Click below to read the Miror story.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farageswife-alleged-lover-annabelle-3633522#ixzz33rzgbMpf 

Mrs Karen Farage has a lot to put up with but she seems a decent woman. Ms Fuller however has it in her power to bring Farage down. Right now with UKIP riding high the media red tops will pay much gold for her story. Everyone has their price and knocking people down is a UK tabloid speciality.  

When that happens Farage can only be saved by the support of other women. I am sure he will get that from his wife but that will simply not be enough to save him. He should jump before he is pushed and name Mrs James as his preferred successor as he did with Pearson. (That would also devalue Annabelle's tale with the tabloids.)  Mrs James, who has never been a member of any party except UKIP and  could rebrand UKIP as a proper political party and not just a home for old Tories like Helmer and Legge. UKIP has got to rid itself of its male image if it wants to move on and Diane James is the lady to do it.

PS Here is another link to an Express story re la Fuller:

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/480729/EXCLUSIVE-Farage-mistress-in-suicide-bid-on-night-Ukip-celebrated-EU-election-triumph


I quote from the piece,

In a moving interview with Express.co.uk, Ms Fuller, who was for years Mr Farage’s closest aide, spoke of her mental ill health and how working in politics drove her to “rock bottom”.

Ms Fuller's speciality seems to be  giving heart rending interviews about herself. That pitcher has been to the well at least once before.

PPS this is the effect La James has on men

Newark marks the turn of the UKIP tide

Newark result:

Robert Jenrick (C) 17,431 (45.03%, -8.82%)
Roger Helmer (Ukip) 10,028 (25.91%, +22.09%)
Michael Payne (Lab) 6,842 (17.68%, -4.65%)
Paul Baggaley (Ind) 1,891 (4.89%)
David Kirwan (Green) 1,057 (2.73%)
David Watts (LD) 1,004 (2.59%, -17.41%)
Nick The Flying Brick (Loony) 168 (0.43%)
Andy Hayes (Ind) 117 (0.30%)
David Bishop (BP Elvis) 87 (0.22%)
Dick Rodgers (Stop Banks) 64 (0.17%)
Lee Woods (Pat Soc) 18 (0.05%)
C maj 7,403 (19.13%)
15.46% swing C to UKIP
Electorate 73,486; Turnout 38,707 (52.67%, -18.69%)

A good result for UKIP? Not in my opinion. Mrs James got 28% at Eastleigh. She was on the Andrew Neil results show and was excellent until Farge butted in and screwed things up by his claims Newark would be UKIP's best ever by-election result over 30%. Idiot! Helmer got 26%. UKIP could have had a much better, Diane James type, candidate. See my comments of a month ago:

http://www.ukiptruth.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/ukip-choose-roger-helmer-as-their.html

Second they could got all their MEPs to pitch as the Tories did with their payroll'

Third Farage could have been there all week rather than feathering his own nest in Brussels and Malta

 http://www.ukiptruth.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/farage-ignores-newark-by-election-for.html

These were simple things that would have given UKIP a better chance of winnning but as always with Farage follow the money.

The Tories knew how crucial this by-election was and threw everything at it. I wrote about this on 3rd of June as below

Ashcroft Newark Poll Has Tories 15 Points Clear

Tories 42
UKIP 27
Labour 20
Lib Dems 6

Lord Ashcroft reports:
“A by-election two weeks after the European election means that Newark’s electors have enjoyed the prolonged attention of the parties, a privilege for which they must surely be grateful. The evidence from my poll is that the Tories have had the better of an intense ground war and have by no means taken the seat for granted. More than nine out of ten voters say they have heard from the Conservatives locally, including 81 per cent who have had literature through the door; nearly half have received personally addressed mail. Eight in ten say they have heard from UKIP; the party is reported to be slightly more active than Labour in all elements of the local campaign.
The poll was conducted in the week before polling day, and just under a fifth of voters say they may yet change their mind. Despite this, it looks clear that the next MP for Newark will be Robert Jenrick.”

So small earthquake in Newark, no Tories casualties.

Scarcely surprising after the selection of old Tory Helmer as candidate with all his political baggage. Why vote for an old Tory when you can have a young one?

UKIP's only chance was a charismatic clean skin like Diane James. Little effort seems to have been made to find such a person. A huge chance has been missed. Better one MP from this high visibility election than the dozen dodgy MEPs UKIP has got. Farage chose the latter for EU Euros. This shows he has no wish to get us out of the EU. Don't listen to what he says but look at what he does and always, always follow the money

Note how accurate the Ashcroft poll was.

I quoted Julius Caesar  on 31st June re UKIP's non-effort at Newark.

There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.

I am afraid UKIP missed the tide. It will not come again in our life time. The cabal have their 30 pieces of silver. The UKIP foot soldiers zilch.

Farage ignores Newark by-election for nice warm Malta

Whilst the UKIP foot soldiers work their socks off in cold, wet Newark Nigel is off on a nice little earner for 3 days in Malta. Faragistas please click on link below to read how hard your leader is working to get UKIP's first MP.

 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/married-nigel-farage-pictured-hand-in-hand-3646619

Cameron has issued a three line whip to his entire cabinet and party to get out and ensure they retain Newark. He knows how crucial this by-election is that he has been ther fout times himself and he is the PM!

I and others like Major Waryy have often been villified for pointing out how Farage does not do the hard graft of politics. Give him a nice warm TV studio with a well stocked green  room any time than knocking on voters doors during crucial elections.

His behaviour over the last three days shows exactly why he will never lead our country out of the EU. He is only interested in himself, his bank account and the company of women who are not his wife.

He preaches disscipline for others in UKIP but of course these rules are for others not Nigel. This is the way the EU elite carry on and that is why I have always called his party EUKIP. I remember explaining this to the late Malcolm Wood who orchestrated my removal from my elected positions.

The media will soon turn on Farage and see him for what he is. The pity is his fall will be UKIP's fall and will devaste the many decent, honest hardworking Brits who supported and voted for him. I have been a voice crying in the wilderness but surely now voters will see Farage is unsupportable and should be got rid off asap.

UKIP's new MEP hypocrites


First look at Nathan Gill, click on http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/ukip-mep-nathan-gill--7211633

I reproduce the headline,

Ukip MEP admits he employed 'dozens' of migrant workers


Mr Gill is following in UKIP's hypocrites tradition. You don't have to be a hypocrite to become a UKIP MEP cadidate but it won't harm your canditature if you are one!

Then we have Amjad Bashir another whose firm employs illegal immgrants as reported in the Guardian click to read

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/16/ukip-candidate-family-restaurant-fined-illegal-immigrants

Then there is second term MEP William Legge, son of she who was called acid Raine by the late Princess Diana and grandson of Barbara Cartland writer of many romantic trash novels. He has been closely associated with applications to build windfarms on land he recently owned. He may stil have a beneficial interest although the situation has been confused by lawyers and property transfers. Click on links below to read the full accounts

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/04/23/ukip-dartmouth-wind-turbine-hypocrite_n_5197056.html

The link to an off shore company Rosscroft is also worrying.

Professor Tim Congdon was forced to stand down as a Ukip parliamentary candidate after it emerged that he had signed wind-farm deals on his Scottish estates. Congdon however remains as a UKIP economics guru and spokesman.

Read this link to realise the amount of obfuscation produced by William Legge/ Earl Dartmouth

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/04/08/ukip-mep-wiilliam-dartmouth-wind-turbines_n_5110962.html

Even the Telegraph the aristos favourite rag has questioned this

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/ukip/10851796/Aristocrat-claims-relative-owns-wind-farm-land-despite-his-name-on-paperwork.html

Legge's name was on the paperwork applying for planning permission for this windfarm!

UKIP policy is of course to oppose land based wind farm construction but UKIP MEPs as a class have always been money motivated from the top down. Ater all thats why politicians are in politics to get their snouts in the trough.

That's enough for now but a roughly 14% UKIP MEP hypocrite content for starters is worrying. Of one thing I am certain, there are many more hypocrites lurking in Farage's new model professional MEP army.

New UKIP MEPs smell the sprouts

I am grateful to Jabba leChat for tweeting this picture of Pinky and Perky. UKIP MEPs





Embedded image permalink


and here they all are laughing all the way to the bank




As per Animal Farm the middle one is called Napoleon. According to Guido Farage is not at Newark but of in Malta recharging something



With the polls opening in a matter of hours for a crunch by-election, where is the leader of the party that is hoping to break through to Westminster for the first time? Nigel Farage is certainly not in Newark. Instead he was spotted at the Hilton Hotel in sunny Malta, 1,718 miles from rainy old Nottinghamshire. Instead of campaigning, Farage is hobnobbing with Helen Grant and Lord Adonis at the Institute of Travel & Tourism’s conferenceA vote of confidence for Helmer!

Our voting system is flawed but our politicians don't care

This is the title of an excellent piece by Charles Moore in Saturday's Telegraph,

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/local-elections/10865271/Our-voting-system-is-flawed-but-politicians-dont-seem-to-care.html

It is subtitled in the push for ever wider 'engagement' with the electorate integrity is being lost.

Hear, hear.

The easily manipulated postal/proxy voting system was brought in by Labour in  the early 2000s to increase turnout but the real reason was Blair's lot presumed would boost their vote.. The defects of the system were seen in Tower Hamlets last week and previous to that in Woking in 2012 with many 'ghost' voters being registered by one Mohammed Bashir afterwards convicted iof corrupt practices. Richard Mawrey QC a judge who investigate this corruption praised the reurning offficer as an honest man trying to operate a dishonest system. Given it was brought in by our institutionally dishonest politicians that was scarcely a surprising outcome.

When you then add in the Muslim head of family women don't count social mores then you can have a few people controlling a large number of votes. The youf always featured on QT who celibrate cultural diversity whatever that means should pause to think that this is what they are supporting along with other repugnant practices such as forced marriage and resultant in-breeding, fgm and medieval laws on apostasy and punishment.

We have been here before in the run up to the 1872 Act which introduced the secret ballot in response to Irish tenant farmers being scared to vote against their landlords in a public show of hands. This is currently being chronicled in the re-run of the Pallisers on BBC2. One of the heroes of Trollope's five books was Plantagenet Palliser afterwards the Duke of Omnium who was a model of unimpeachable integrity.

Integrity is what we have lost in our current voting system. It is the prime requirement of any voting system If  politicians developed honesty engagement of all with the political process would follow as sure as night follows day. Engagement and turnout are secondary to integrity. Any system which is open to abuse will be abused as the Tower Hamlets behaviour has shown. I do not want to see the politics of the Souk take hold in any part of our country but we do not have a Plantagenet Palliser, Phineas Finn or Glencora Palliser leading political life in our country. Instead we have Cam, Milliband and Clegg now joined by Farage, a very motley crew indeed.
