Farage to field Libertas UK candidate in Redbridge By-election?

Nigel Farage was overheard in Strasburg discussing UKIP’s recent appalling local election results. He was heard to complain that the rise of the BNP, OLAF investigations, reports on the internet and the highly publicised resignations of certain UKIP members had seriously damaged his chances of getting re-elected to the EU gravy train.

Farage has now become so concerned about UKIP’s bad reputation that he is thinking of fielding a Libertas UK candidate in the Redbridge Council By-election on 23rd April. If Libertas UK perform well in this election he may well decide to field Libertas UK MEP candidates in June.

Libertas UK was registered by Bridget Rowe, UKIP Press Officer and very close friend of Nigel Farage, after Declan Ganley - founder of Libertas EU- rejected Farage’s offer of an electoral pact with UKIP. Ganley also rejected Farage’s request for a £6 million donation.

Rowe is listed as “leader” of Libertas UK on the electoral commission’s website register of political parties. The party’s address is given as 400 Main Road, Westerham Hill, in Kent, which is Bridget Rowe’s home.

How very interesting!

The main lie supporting my illegitimate de-selection was that I had urged UKIPers to support Libertas. Malcolm Wood, Farage's crony and SW RO had a meeting with my Yeovil branch before Xmas at which he gave the impression some deal betwen Farage and Libertas was on the cards. I was very careful to say nothing on this topic. When one of my branch produced a summary of the meeting sent to me and Wood, I commented that if this was the general feeling I would not oppose it, i.e. I would support the Farage line. Wood then spun the tale in the SW that I was inciting Yeovil UKIP to decamp en mass to Libertas. That was completely untrue! The only statement I made at that meeting was to urge support for Trevor Colman and UKIP SW.
