UKIP: Derek Clark MEP & the OLAF investigation

We are pleased to be informed by our sources that Derek Clark has been ordered by OLAF to pay back around £30,000 after they found him guilty of False Accounting and Money Laundering. The files are now with the East Midlands police.

Clark has always denied being under OLAF investigation when questioned by concerned UKIPPERS.

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

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


Clark should now do the decent thing and fall on his sword. Nothing else is acceptable. The man lied to the membership and has been exposed as yet another dishonest MEP.

Bob Lomas on Nigel Farage & the failure of UKIP

Interesting comments from Bob Lomas of The Magna Carta Society. He made them after watching a video of Farage making a speech:

Subject: Fw: Nigel; Farage in action - again! - Latest...but not dated!

From: LOMAS
To: AA BOB LOMAS

Another skilful and entertaining delivery by Nigel Farage, but to what possible purpose, what is to be gained by it or from it? The whole idea and principle of the EU is the destruction of the nation states of Europe including this nation state which makes the EU an enemy of this nation. Standing in the midst of EU advocates pontificating criticisms will not alter or change that fact one iota. But of course there is a reason for so doing. Nigel Farage and his fellow MEPs who now cohabit with our enemy do so for the lifestyle and their obscene salaries paid for at the expense of our pensioners and public welfare services. It must not be overlooked that should they return to this country and campaign for our withdrawal from the EU they would lose their inflated EU pensions.

In this regard the UKIP is no different to all the other gravy train parties, the UKIP does not see itself as complicit in the treason that took us into the EU, which proves that it is no more concerned about our Constitution and its lawful constraints than all the other parties so engaged. The UKIP's duplicitous claim that it is in Europe to fight our corner in our enemy's camp is a nonsense for its very presence acknowledges the EUs authority over this country as legitimate which it most certainly is not.

The fight to free this nation from foreign rule is right here at home between the people and those who have usurped our Parliament and set themselves up as agents for our foreign enemy in Europe. When the EU elections come round the UKIP hierarchy use to effect their unsuspecting and delusioned faithful supporters to rally round and raise sufficient support to ensure they remain on the disgraceful Brussels gravy train, after which they settle down to delivering grandiose meaningless speeches in a foreign land while here at home it remains open season for our treasonous politicians.

Clearly and essentially a political party is desperately needed to represent the British people, to confront the crooks that now rule us and to regain our lawful freedoms and democratic self governance. When the UKIP was first formed it claimed its dedication to doing just that and quite a number of unsuspecting souls believed it. Seemingly the UKIP found it too hard a nut to crack, so on a 'if you can't beat them join them' principle the UKIP leaders grasped the opportunity afforded them by their position to make hay while the sun shone and by persuading their supporter that it was all in their best interest. It is now clear just whose interest it was in. Perhaps the cruellest aspect of the deceit was the fact that a great number of the UKIP's supporters were staunchly patriotic pensioners, who now suffer in penury under the tyranny of a Fascist style regime while the UKIP leaders enjoy the life of Reilly in foreign climes.

Bob Lomas.

UKIP: Nigel Farage is a liar

We can now confirm that the convicted violent racist Mario Borghezio has not been suspended from the EFD group in the European Parliament.

He was suspended from his own party, Lega Nord, in Italy for one month, but has remained a full member of the EFD. This followed his comments in response to the tragedy in Norway where seventy-six people were killed by Anders Behring Breivik.

Borghezio, described the ideas of Breivik as "good" and "excellent".

Farage's claim that Borghezio was to be suspended from the EFD for 3 months would appear to have been a lie.

How can anybody trust this jumped up little oik now?

UKIP: True Finns MP calls for tanks to deal with Greek rioters

'True Finns' MP, Jussi Halla-aho - chairman of the Administration Committee of the Finnish Parliament - recently made this comment on the Greek protests:

"What Greece needs at this particular time is a 'Military Junta' that would not have to worry about its popularity and could use tanks to enforce some order among strikers and rioters".

Source: http://rt.com/programs/keiser-report/episode-187-max-keiser/ (approx 8-9 mins into the show). The comments were originally made on the MP's Facebook page and soon sparked outrage in Finland and Greece. In a face-saving exercise, he was later suspended from his party for a mere two weeks.

So does the MP support a 'shoot to kill' policy in Greece? And does Farage endorse his comments? After all, Nigel happily sits with the True Finns in the EFD group and has chosen to remain silent when it comes to the MP and his sordid views.

UKIP: Pity Poor David Bannerman

It's interesting to note that Bannerman gave UKIP £1500 in the two months before joining the Tories.

Given that he borrowed £30,000 from friends and UKIP members in the Eastern Region and spent some of it on a sports car, where did he get the £1500 from?

And don't forget that Bannerman is still under investigation by OLAF. See: LINK

Interesting article from The Mail blog. It seems that Bannerman is in for a rough ride. What a shame!

Does David Campbell Bannerman know what he's getting himself into? This MEP is best known as the UKIP politician who defected to the Tories. Tonight, he is speaking to the Freedom Association's youth wing, and if the messages being posted about him on Facebook are anything to go by, he's in for a tough time.

"Turncoat! Judas!" exclaimed one member. Another wrote: "Hell would have to freeze over to miss this once in a lifetime event. What a booking!"

The reason people hate Mr Bannerman is not that he defected, but the way he did it. He didn't quit after a bust-up or after gradually drifting away from the party - it was entirely without warning.

In fact, in the month that he joined the Conservatives, he was published in the Campaign for an Independent Britain's magazine, saying:

"The ridiculous choices of the Coalition Government, to spend more on EU membership (now £48 million a day) and foreign aid (£23 million a day) when we are making dangerous cuts to our own military services speaks volumes. They cut at home to squander money abroad. And we call these politicians our public servants!"

Yet on the day of his defection, he claimed that he was "impressed" by David Cameron's leadership. He said: "I have been pleased with the robust stance taken by David Cameron and Conservative MEPs over the EU Budget negotiations and I believe that it is Conservative MEPs who are working hard to defend Britain's interests."

Needless to say, UKIP members feel let down after investing time and considerable sums of money to help get him elected.

But Mr Bannerman has probably made the right choice politically. Several months before he defected, I was told by a senior UKIP source that the members were unlikely to reselect him for the next European elections. His future now seems pretty secure. At the last European elections, the Tories automatically put incumbent MEPs at the top the top of party lists. If the same system is repeated for the 2014 elections, he is effectively guaranteed reelection.

Anyway, back to tonight. Around half the audience are likely to be Tory supporters - and a Tory MP is listed on Facebook as attending. So although there will be critics, I wonder if Mr Bannerman will also have some defenders. Whatever happens, the Q&A is sure to be riveting.

Gary Cartwright on why UKIP is the 'Alternative Reality Party'

From Mr Cartwright's blog:

A study by the University of Cardiff has revealed that 82% of Britons are in favour of wind energy. The Danish island of Samsø takes 100% of its elecricity from wind power, and now exports energy to the mainland, and guess what - the lights don't go out when the wind stops blowing! Last year, wind generated elecricity in Spain peaked briefly at 52% of total national demand. UKIP, however, has a different take on all this. A few years ago an e-mail was circulated by a UKIP member stating that it takes a single wind turbine 2 years to generate enough electricity to boil a kettle. Most famously, a UKIP researcher once wrote that wind turbines adversely affect the rotation of the Earth.

UKIP is now in danger of becoming the 'Alternative Reality' party.

The party's Head of Policy is one Christopher Monckton, a man who has recently been chastised for pretending to be a member of the House of Lords. Prior to the Copenhagen conference he claimed to have seen a secret treaty that would be signed by world leaders handing over power to a new world government. That this failed to happen, is something he has yet to address. His testimony to the US Congress on climate change was greeted with derision, and he was again humiliated over his claim to be a member of the House of Lords.

On the day the eurosceptic MEP Derk-jan Eppink presented his excellent book 'Bonfire of Bureaucracy in Europe' in Brussels, UKIP MEPs were supporting the launch of a book about the Bilderburg group. Personally, I am not particularly worried about the activities of an NGO, but some seem to think that this group is planning world domination. Another one of those 'secret governments'?

Society needs dissent. Dissent is good for debate, and it is good for democratic integrity, as it keeps the centre ground fluid. A stagnant polity is vulnerable in terms of the strength of its democratic process. Dissenters come in two types - 'disclosers', who are there to challenge the system and ensure transparency, and 'contrarians', who serve little purpose at all. UKIP now falls into the latter category, with all received wisdom seemingly being rejected on no firm basis whatsoever. This is a great shame, as UKIP made a huge contribution by being the catalyst and rallying point for many thousands of people who felt that their voices were not being heard, or that their concerns about the EU were not being taken seriously. Good people who had grown disillusioned with the established parties got out onto the streets, delivered leaflets, challenged their MPs, and stood in elections they knew they could never win. The contribution of UKIP to British politics has been immense - that makes it even sadder to see what the party has now become.

UKIP: Nikki Sinclaire & Mike Nattrass

Nikki Sinclaire

We would urge all UKIPPERS to read Nikki's website. It contains a wealth of information regarding Nikki's sterling working in the EU parliament - plus details of her referendum campaign in the UK.

Here is an example:

Strasbourg Report

This week saw the return of the European Parliament to Strasbourg after the summer break. To make up for missing a month in August we will be here twice in September. Next year, this may not happen, as MEPs recently voted to have just 11 sessions here in 2012. The French government, however, is challenging this in the courts. The arrival of the traveling circus in Strasbourg each month is accompanied by skyrocketing hotel charges and a massive demand for casual workers in the service sector. One can understand why the French would be keen to continue with this boost to their economy, but in these times of austerity, we should question the morality of using taxpayer's money in this way.

Calculating the actual expense of all this is difficult, as many costs are hidden. Documents and equipment are transported from Brussels in convoys of lorries, and thousands of staff, all on generous expenses, make their way to Alsace. There are special trains and charter flights laid on, it is often joked that canceling the Strasbourg sessions would enable the EU to meet its carbon emissions reduction targets at a stroke!

Challenging the Commissioner

Karel De Gucht is the Belgian Commissioner for Trade. On Monday 12th in Strasbourg he made an official statement on the ongoing Doha negotiations, by which it is hoped to stimulate development through free trade. I was able to challenge him on the hypocrisy of the EU in such matters, pointing out that whilst on the one hand it calls for an end to trade tariffs, on the other hand it implements tariffs itself. I also pointed out the damaging effects of non-tariff barriers to trade, such as quotas, licensing requirements, etc.

I finished by pointing out that the EU, which is having to bail out its own bankrupt states, might not be the best place to go for advice on trade and economics!
