Mr Norman Smith had obviously not done his homework and so a golden opportunity chance to put Farage’s ‘leadership’ under the spotlight was lost.<BR/><BR/>No mention was made of the well publicised resignations/defections from UKIP.<BR/><BR/>No mention was made of the OLAF investigations.<BR/><BR/>No mention was made of NEC expulsions.<BR/><BR/>Farage was not asked to justify his ridiculous claim that the BNP had infiltrated UKIP.<BR/><BR/>Farage was not questioned about Libertas UK - a political party that was set-up by his own Press Officer. <BR/><BR/>Farage was not questioned about the posting of a UKIP candidates MEP interview on YouTube.<BR/><BR/>And so on. <BR/><BR/>In the interview Farage made comments about UKIP members who had made ‘criminal accusations’ and therefore should be ‘chopped off at the legs’. This was clearly a reference to John West who had complained to the police about Jeffrey Titford. Unbelievably this statement was allowed to pass without comment from the interviewer! <BR/><BR/>Presumably the interviewer approves of a party leader making threats of violence against a member who did his civic duty and reported a crime to the Police! <BR/><BR/>Farage then went on to attack candidates who were alleged to have told people not to vote UKIP. Again, this comment was allowed to pass unchallenged.Juniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652218169407342177noreply@blogger.com
