UKIP: A UKIPPER on UKIP & More from Dr Edmond

Another disillusioned UKIPPER - Matt Smith - speaks out.....

We all know the majority of UKIP members are non racist open minded members of society, as I would like to think I am!

However I encountered a wing of the party the other day which is far from open minded.

It all stemmed from when I and 2 others dared to disagree with party policy on the smoking ban. I am a supporter of the ban however as you probably know UKIP is against the ban, this isn’t the point however, at first all was going fine abit of friendly debate and so on. Then Mr UKIP arrives, accusing me of being a traitor! Why? I dared to disagree with the party's talisman Nigel Farage’s stance on something, a letter has now been sent to my branch manager requesting my expulsion from the party, need I say more about this Mr UKIP if he has time to waste writing letters about me.

I just thought I’d tell you that story because it backs up my point that, there is an extremest wing in UKIP that belongs in the BNP. Its a dangerous thing that these people claim to be UKIP supporters and go around mis-quoting party policy giving the rest of us a bad name. Therefore I see it as essential that the next party leader purges the party ranks of these people before it gets too big of a problem to solve quietly.

The type of extremism varies in UKIP from racists to authoritarians etc. It worries me that these people can shout that they are UKIP members from the rooftops and give party policy over in a false way, it is damaging for the party and if nothing is done it is the sort of problem that can destroy the party from the inside.
If UKIP really does have ambitions of joining the ‘big 3′ and turning it into the ‘big 4′ which they do, extremism has to disappear from the party and not return.

And this from Dr Edmond.....

Tea Party brews trouble for UKIP

Inspired by the success of the American campaign activists at the coming Tory conference will hold a rally ostensibly to air criticism of Coalition policies but the hidden agenda will be to set up a Tea Party umbrella organisations to bring together the various right wing smaller government lower tax pressure groups like the Tax Payers Alliance and the Freedom Association.

This spells big trouble for UKIP as Daniel Hanaan, Tory MEP is expected to play a big part in making the tea and clearly smaller government fits rather nicely with leaving the EU. Farage's UKIP, is looking rather stale and a party incapable of delivering. Right wingers are frustrated and they are looking for something new and fresh. They will of course recruit largely from the ranks of disillusioned Tories many of whom are currently in UKIP. I expect it will recruit and run via Facebook and similar Internet Services at low cost and high penetration.

Worse for UKIP is that David Davies whom Dave defeated in the Tory leadership election, is on the fringes of this movement and may even speak at the fringe tea party. And there are a number of other Tory MPs on the fringes.

Cameron is worried and is scuppering plans for more 'Open Primaries' where genuinely local and independent PPCs may be selected like the GP lady in the South West. The Tories will retain control of the candidate list but for how long.

In these circumstances UKIP needs a re-brand fast and that's not going to happen if Farage is returned as leader. Even with a new leader the tide may already have turned against UKIP. Farage and his Cabal have squandered UKIP's chances and I cannot see the British people giving them a third chance now an attractive and far more effective alternative is available.

It will of course leave the EU protest vote under Tory control just like under Pearson. Plus ca change.. as the French say.

UKIP: Marta Andreasen loses court appeal!

Weeping Marta loses court appeal. Will Nigel offer her a shoulder to cry on?

How tragic. Marta has lost the appeal against her sacking. We really weep for her!

From European Voice:

Andreasen loses legal appeal, but vows to keep on fighting

A European court throws out MEP Marta Andreasen's claim of unfair dismissal from the Commission

Marta Andreasen, who was sacked as chief accountant of the European Commission and is now a member of the European Parliament, has lost an appeal against her dismissal. The EU's General Court last week upheld a decision of the European Civil Service Tribunal and ordered Andreasen to pay her own legal costs and those of the Commission.

Undaunted, Andreasen said this week that she was looking at the possibility of a further appeal to the European Court of Justice and would file a case at the European Court of Human Rights.

"In my appeal I focused on a breach of human rights which they [the judges] just disregarded".

The General Court threw out Andreasen's arguments that her dismissal was disproportionate and violated EU rules, as well as her rights to a fair trial and good administration under the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights.

In 2002, Andreasen, who had fallen out with the then director-general for budget, went public with complaints about the Commission's accounting system. She told MEPs and the European Court of Auditors that the Commission's book-keeping left the EU's annual budget vulnerable to fraud.

Court ruling

The Argentine-Spaniard was initially moved from her position as chief accountant, then suspended on full pay. She was sacked in 2004 after a disciplinary board found she had breached staff regulations by making unauthorised public statements about her work, and by failing to follow orders from her managers. The civil service tribunal later upheld the dismissal in a ruling of November 2007.

“The whole procedure is ludicrous,” Andreasen said. “In my appeal I already focused on a breach of human rights which they [the judges] just disregarded.”

“I thought I had put the case correctly, and they just dismissed it,” she said. She added that she was annoyed that the appeal had taken almost three years from the initial ruling.

In 2009, Andreasen was elected to the European Parliament as a British MEP for the UK Independence Party. She was treasurer of UKIP in 2007-09, but resigned in protest at how the party was being managed.

A few Marta Andreasen facts for you:

Andreasen is a liar, a fraud and has no interest in British independence from the EU.

Her often repeated claim to have been dismissed from the Commission because she insisted on proper accounting is nonsense.

She was actually dismissed for failing he to produce a report - despite reminders - on how best to combat fraud in the EU.

She was suspended from the OECD after allegations of racism were made against her.

She does not live in the UK.

She does not pay UK taxes.

She is a supporter of the EU. She considers herself an ‘EU reformist’.

She has absolutely no loyalty to Britain or her constituents in the South East. Her knowledge of the region is almost nil. For instance, she didn’t even know that Canterbury was in Kent!

UKIP has an ethnic Danish MEP, who was born in Argentina, currently holds Spanish citizenship and lives in Barcelona. She also employs a Dutch researcher in Brussels. So much for Farage's claim that UKIP supports British jobs for British workers!

One can only wonder why Farage was unable to find a suitable British born candidate with at least some working knowledge of the area they wished to represent?

She only expressed an interest in UKIP after three other parties - the Tories included - rejected her attempts to become one of their MEP candidates.

It should be remembered that Nigel Farage contemptuously ignored UKIP’s own selection rules so that Andreasen could become a UKIP candidate.

Lynnda Robson - Gerard Batten’s political assistant - made a formal complaint about this to both Christopher Gill and UKIP’s NEC.

In this complaint it was pointed out that Andreasen was ineligible to stand as a UKIP MEP candidate for the following reasons:

She was not a UK resident.
She was not a fully paid-up member of UKIP.
She could not get a CRB check.
Her proposer also proposed someone else.
She was not on the UK electoral Register and had no intention of mentioning that she was standing in two different regions.

Ms Robson’s complaint was rejected. She later took UKIP to court over this issue. UKIP’s leadership agreed to settle with her out of court.

Andreasen has used the members of UKIP. She was never interested in getting Britain out of the EU.

Her only motivation is personal gain. Remember when she resigned as UKIP Treasurer after she was told by the odious Nuttall that she would no longer be paid for doing the job? See: LINK

All those who pointed out that Andreasen was a political prostitute have been proved right.

And who pushed for her to become an MEP? Nigel Farage.

And who supplied her with a UK address so she could stand as a UKIP candidate? Lord Pearson.

She even wanted to become head of OLAF! See: LINK

I will make OLAF investigations truly independent and efficient. If the EU wants to send a signal to the taxpayers of Europe that they want to stop abuse and financial irregularities then what better way to show this by hiring me for the job?

Today I challenge them to hire a straight shooter, and await their response.

But at least Andreasen has no chance of becoming head of OLAF. Her atrocious employment record would be enough to discourage any employer with an ounce of sense from taking her on.

Apart from UKIP.

UKIP: Tim gets some publicity

Not Gerard's Tim. The other one!

From The Citizen, Gloucestershire:

AN economist from Gloucestershire is vying to become the next leader of the UK Independence Party.

Professor Tim Congdon, of Huntley, entered the race for the party's top job after the surprise resignation of Lord Malcolm Pearson. The world-renowned economist was UKIP's candidate for the Forest of Dean seat in the last General Election, taking 5.2 per cent of the vote.

He said he was entering the leadership battle in response to the ever-increasing influence of the European Union over British politics.

Prof Congdon, pictured, said: "I'm doing it for the same reason I stood in the General Election this year. I am horrified by the extent to which the Government of our country has been handed over to a foreign bureaucracy.

"People don't understand to what extent that their country's government has been stolen from them."

Prof Congdon was an economic adviser to former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher but left the Tories in 2007 after becoming disillusioned with David Cameron's policies.

He said his previous experience gave him an edge over his rivals in the UKIP leadership contest.

He said: "I've been involved in a lot of journalism and think- tank work and getting our points into the public domain so they become part of policy conversations. That's very much what we want to do here."

Prof Congdon will face strong competition from leading global warming expert Christopher Monckton and London MEP Gerard Batten.

The favourite for the job is former leader Nigel Farage, who is expected to announce his candidacy at the party conference tomorrow.

Prof Congdon said he had learned a lot from the General Election campaign in May.

He will officially register his desire to stand in the next few weeks and is planning to set up a website to support his campaign.

UKIP: Is this the sort of person you want as leader?

Would you really want this man as UKIP leader?

An adulterer.

An alcohol addict who's often drunk.

Someone who condones highly dubious electoral practices within UKIP.

Someone who refuses to explain what he holds in a trust fund on the Isle of Man.

Someone who refuses to publish a full audit of his MEP accounts/expenses.

Someone who refuses to say what his wife does exactly to earn £30,000 a year as an EU funded member of his staff.

Someone who refuses to explain what happened to all the monies raised via the now infamous Ashford call centre.

Someone who refuses to explain what happened to the £211,000 that 'vanished' from UKIP's SE accounts.

Someone who sits alongside some of the most extreme right-wing groups in Europe - including the Lega Nord - for financial gain.

In short, a thoroughly disreputable amoral individual who few would welcome into their own homes if they understood what sort of man he really is!

His name - Nigel Farage MEP

UKIP: Derek Clark is a liar

Derek Clark is a liar

On Monday, Derek Clark held another regional committee meeting. He was asked if he was under investigation by OLAF. He denied it and claimed that any Clark/OLAF case numbers are fakes.

Clark is a liar.

FACT. Clark is under investigation by OLAF for alleged misuse of EU allowances.

FACT. More information on Clark and Ransome was recently passed to OLAF.

Here are the genuine OLAF case numbers:

Derek Clark OLAF Case Number: D/007/033/04.09.08

Derek Clark OLAF Investigation Number: DD/FD-
D2008.A1/7133/OF/2008/0240

And please see the OLAF letter at the top of the page. This confirms OLAF’s interest in Clark. The name and and details have been removed to protect those witnesses who have assisted OLAF in their investigation.

Bloom in New Europe.

The Bloom peeing scandal has now reached New Europe. See above. Here is a link to New Europe: http://www.neurope.eu/

New warning signs are now springing up on Hotel entrances across Strasbourg. And it has got Godders worried!

The new punishment for peeing on pot plants does look somewhat severe!

That NEC election

Zuckerman and Burton have now issued statements. These were in response to complaints from Rob McWhirter, one of the losing candidates:

Dear Robert,

I thank you for your letter regarding Elizabeth Burton. I am forwarding the response of John Knotts and have attached Elizabeth's own account of what took place. It will be seen that John Knotts asked Elizabeth to move to another room as soon as he realised that she was involved with opening the envelopes containing the ballot papers. Thereafter, Elizabeth helped to sort the invalid votes which is, of course, entirely appropriate for a candidate as the Returning Officer consults any candidates present on whether disputed votes should be accepted or rejected.

I am happy to confirm Elizabeth's election.

Regards,

Michael Zuckerman

Dear Michael,

David Challice forwarded this email to me and asked me to comment on it to you.

On the day of the count I had arrived at Lexdrum at 10.00am having offerred to help; but there were plenty of helpers and after a few minutes during which I used the automatic envelope opener and passed the unopened envelope on to a second helper, John Lott who was officiating came in response to my earlier enquiry whether or not I should help and suggested it would be better not to as someone was bound to try to make mischief .

After that, in company with Derek Evans another candidate, I went into another office where with John Lott we scrutinised the numerous spoiled voting papers and gave our agreement to those which could be counted as valid.

I think this replies to the complaint.

Elizabeth Burton

So the ‘official’ story seems to be somewhat at odds with eye-witness accounts. Funny how that often happens in UKIP?

You would hardly expect those responsible for the vote and those who benefited from it to say “yes, we rigged the vote”

Candidates should not be handling the 'spoiled' ballots or opening envelopes.

Please note that Zuckeman, Knott and Burton all consider this to be perfectly acceptable. That tells you all you need to know about their integrity or lack of it.

Only an independent enquiry can remove the doubt. Zuckerman has refused to do this. We wonder why? Another rigged UKIP NEC is allowed to stand.

And finally......

UKIP News: Monckton says he will stand, Farage abusing the membership database and Trevor's motion

Monckton to stand in UKIP leadership race

A colleague has informed the trusty Junius Team that Mad Monckton WILL be standing in the leadership election. He seems to think that his ‘aristocratic’ background will win him a lot of votes. How spiffin! We are so glad. That will give us the chance to release some interesting emails and more facts about the Mad Earl.

Naughty Farage


Nigel Farage has been very busy lately. He has been using the UKIP database in order to phone members and ask them for their vote in the upcoming leadership election. He has gone out of his way to ‘advise’ members that the other candidates lack the ‘experience’ and ‘necessary qualities’ needed for the role.

So what qualities would they be? Trousering millions? Committing adultery? Chucking out anyone he doesn’t agree with you? Being an ass and a drunk?

So have the other leadership candidates been allowed access to UKIP’s national membership database? We hear not. And so the dirty tricks begin!

Trevor's UKIP Conference Motion

Remember when Trevor Colman’s proposed a motion that future membership of any pan-European group should be put to a vote of the ordinary members? Tim Congdon spoke strongly in support of this motion. Farage spoke against. It was passed by the overwhelming majority of UKIPPERS present at the conference.

The NEC and Farage have decided to ignore it and carry on regardless. So much for democracy and the wishes of the ordinary membership! And they have the nerve to attack the EU!

Now what did the odious Nuttall say in the last edition of Independence News?

“The membership retains control of the party, and ensures that UKIP remains a bottom up organisation”.

“The NEC is, in effect, the custodians of the party, who represent the wishes of the membership and keep the elected representatives and leadership in check”


Yeah, right! UKIP is about as democratic as the Nazi Party. And the only ‘bottom up’ that we can think of is when the odious Paul 'Benito' Nuttall is bonking Aurelie Laloux - pictured above - behind his partner’s back.

UKIP North East Regional Organiser facing court action

We have mentioned Gordon Parkin in a previous Junius post. See: LINK

Mr Parkin is one of those obnoxious little people that always seem to rise to the top of the UKIP sceptic tank.

Mr Parkin and UKIP now face legal action from a UKIPPER – Alan Hardy - after they unlawfully banned him from attending UKIP meetings in the region. See documents at the top of this post. The case is due to be heard this month. UKIP and Parkin's legal costs are now already over £5000. The case was due to be heard at the High Court (Middlesbrough District Registry) on 23rd September. However, Mr Hardy is seeking to get the date brought forward.

And what was Mr Hardy’s crime? He had the audacity to voice concerns about the collapse of UKIP in the north east and Parkin’s role in it!

Parkin has - on no known authority - suspended another member, David Himmelblau, for the crime of associating with Mr Hardy. How very EUKIP!

Mr Parkin is very much your average Farage sycophant.

A little Hitler with delusions of grandeur.

As one UKIPPER has said to him:

"You act as if you are chairman of a branch comprising 1,000 members, 90% of whom would willing turn out in a Sunday-morning blizzard, replete with seventeen pint hangover, and leaflet from dawn 'til dusk with a song on their lips - while you stay cosy and warm at home having breakfast in bed."

The reality is somewhat different. UKIP NE is in terminal decline with membership falling and branches closing. The average age of a UKIPPER in the region is 70. Apathy is widespread. It is even worse than UKIP Scotland!

UKIPPERS in the NE have confirmed that Parkin is a complete liability. He refuses to leaflet, has declined to fight council elections and can barely write his name without making a spelling mistake. There have been numerous calls for him to resign but his loyalty to Farage has so far protected him.

He is also disliked in his own branch – Stockton/Teeside – where his dictatorial attitude has led to several resignations.

Parkin is the EU FUNDED regional organiser for the North East. He was also an MEP candidate.

Do you think that Mr Parkin should be funded by the British taxpayer? Is he worth a single Euro? The collapse of UKIP branches in the region and the total failure of UKIP to achieve ANYTHING electorally in the NE should tell you a thing or two about Mr Parkin's competence as an RO.
