As I have said in previous posts UKIP’s finances are in freefall. Marta Andreasen’s Christmas appeal only managed to raise £58,000 despite assurances from Nigel that it would raise at least £250,000. In the South East they have just £20,000 for the Euro elections. In other regions they have even less than that. Only the South West has enough money to fight a good campaign which probably explains why Nigel is so keen to replace Trevor Colman with Gawain ‘Don’t mention the blog’ Towler.It has already been decided that in March branches will be told that they must hand over the majority of their funds for the Euro elections. If the committees refuse they can expect to face suspension under Farage’s new constitutional changes. The funds will then be seized.
Here is an extract from the minutes for the Eastern Region. The meeting in question took place at the Red Lion Hotel, Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire at 7.45 PM on 10th October. Those present included David Bannerman, George Curtis, Michael McGough, Andrew Smith, Peter Reeve and Stuart Agnew.
I note that Michael ‘Wolfman’ McGough denies having been present at this meeting. I can well understand his reluctance to admit to it. After all, he, along with fellow MEP candidates Bannerman, Smith and Agnew, approved a proposal to raid branch funds in order to finance their quest to become MEPs. Have they never heard of a conflict of interest?
Here is the passage that should alarm every member in the Eastern Region and indeed every member in the UK:
08/112 Fundraising
'The decision at 08/100 to write to all branches in about March 2009 to request substantially the whole of their funds was confirmed'.
I hope that members now realise that the leadership of UKIP is not the remotest bit interested in fighting Westminster or local elections. A serious political party - of which UKIP under Farage is certainly not - would never dream of seizing branch funds just weeks before important local elections. And what happens if Gordon Brown decides to call a Spring General Election? How does Nigel expect branches to finance that?
Of course, Farage is only interested in getting himself and his cronies elected or re-elected as MEPs. The interests of the country and our people count for nothing in Farage’s book. All that matters to him is another five years on the EU Gravy Train.
Hi,
ReplyDeletesorry I only recently had this copy come to hand having read & filed it an age ago!
Be minded that those very minutes showed that grubby little parasite Reeve believed that the cost of the election address would be £30K - no wonder they want to steal all the money from Branches - Well they would wouldn't they - on that committee acting in secret because they are ashamed of their action and fear howmany more members will leave in disgust were David Bannerman, Stuart Agnew, Andrew Smith and Mick McGough all of whom got themselves onto the prospective MEP list through corruption, dishonesty, lies and deceit in flagrant disregard for EUkip or its members aided and abetted in their dishonesty by Peter Reeve, Christopher Gill, George Curtis and other low lifes as proven beyond doubt in EUkip's OFFICIAL denouncement of the corruption by The Party Returning Officer.
Any decent leader would fire every one of them but how could Farage when he gained his position by wittingly taking advantage of corruption and lies!
So sad that UKIP members have been so betrayed.
As a dedicated UKIP supporter over many years, may I thank you in public, for your courage in speaking out as a UKIP supporter against the corruption and dishonesty of EUkip its leadership and NEC.
Regards,
Greg L-W.

ReplyDelete'The decision at 08/100 to write to all branches in about March 2009 to request substantially the whole of their funds was confirmed'.
I guess you have a problem with the English Language junius. REQUEST and TOLD have to completely different meanings.
They can make a request of my branch and we will consider it. If they attempt to tell us we have to then I suspect my branch will vote overwhelmingly to say NO.
You see it's all in a word.
And when they refuse watch what happens!
ReplyDeleteStill missing the Forum Bob? That's what happens when you tell lies about one of the moderators!
Greg, I agree with you 100%. Bannerman, McGough, Smith, Agnew, Curtis and Reeve must resign. Liars and cheats must never be allowed to prosper.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to thank you in public for helping expose EUKIP corruption. Keep up the good work!
Why would I miss the forum, I can still read the rubbish you lot post.
ReplyDeleteMore lies, junius, I was banned because the moderator did not like my analysis of his own post. No lies were involved.
But I guess you have shown in this article that you do understand the plain meaning of words.
You can twist the facts as much as you want Bob. The fact remains that you were BANNED from the Forum for telling lies about one of the moderators.
ReplyDeleteBob, I do understand plain English. Can the same be said of you?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThe BFM's drivel is in italics:
Why would I miss the forum, I can still read the rubbish you lot post.
I would not have imagined you would miss it as it was clear in post after post on The Forum when I was last on it, that you had little grasp of what was going on and were the constant butt of jokes for your misunderstandings, malapropisms and 'manglish'.
As I recall it was bandied around that The FM stood for 'From Mars' as you seemingly had an alien confusion both in comprehension and communication!
More lies, junius, I was banned because the moderator did not like my analysis of his own post. No lies were involved.
You mislead yourself yet again BFM - you were banned for the third time for dishonestly and gratuitously libelling Paul Wesson a long term Moderator on the forum and a retired RAF Officer of good standing.
But I guess you have shown in this article that you do understand the plain meaning of words.
Manglish I presume as it makes no sense and has less apparent relevance.
I hope this clarifies The BFM's misconseptions and thus misrepresentations - should they be repeated one can have no doubt he is deliberately telling lies.
Regards,
Greg L-W.
GLW pray tell what was this libel you speak of, are you referring to Paul Wessons own post where he talks about removing the safety catch on his service issue SLP:
ReplyDelete"Most murderers don't go through life planning to kill people. I don't think I'll ever murder, but I remember being so upset that I had taken the safety catch off my SLP to waste a work colleague who so deserved it, and does to this day. My common sense took over from my natural inclination, but I am sure not everyone is lucky enough to regain control."
That in my book, shows the necessary mens rea, which is exactly what I pointed out. He of course didn't like that. Now I suppose junius will remove this on the grounds of potential libel whilst leaving your unedited diatribes that contain lie after lie.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteclearly The BFM has absolutely no understanding of libel.
Perhaps his serial stupidity can be used as a defence if Paul wesson chooses to take legal action against him.
I have spent extended periods with my safety catch OFF in both ambush and self defence mode - The BFM is clearly an idiot and believes that preparedness for a situation is a crime.
However his days on the beat were long ago.
Robert Feel Martinis there is absolutely no doubt you have libelled Paul Wesson, further you have on numerous occasions lied and libelled me.
You are a coward and your behaviour is beneath contempt as you depend on weasle words and cowardice to ensure (in your mind) that you are not held culpable for your contemptible behaviour.
You have failed to identify a single solitary consequential error in anything I have stated and you are unable to substantiate your lies - yet you are not man enough to appologise for either your dishonesty or your stupidity.
Nor we note are you man enough to call the meeting that I have offered you.
Shame on you you sad little man.
Regards,
Greg L-W.
GLW clearly you fail to grasp the simple English language, perhaps because of your time speaking Africans, and suppressing the black majority in South Africa.
ReplyDeleteHe released the safety catch as described in his own post, nothing to do with 'I have spent extended periods with my safety catch OFF in both ambush and self defence mode'
As for consequential errors, you write of, clearly there can't be any as your posts are materially inconsequential in their entirety.
Cowardliness is not allowing people to comment on your blog.
Bob, You don't seem to understand that, when you accuse someone of criminality, there has to be an identifiable crime, an actus reus that includes all of the elements of the crime and a mens rea to commit that particular crime. You have made your own interpretation of my actions and come up with crime allegations that would not stand up in a court of law. No crime was committed as the necessary elements were not present. My post was part of a philosophical discussion about the ability of people to kill in cold blood. I made it clear that I lack that ability. You on the other hand have said that, in war, you would be prepared to hang traitors and cowards if ordered and if someone else had decided who those traitors and cowards were. I note that you did not say that you were prepared to wear the Queen's uniform and fight in the same battles as those cowards, in fact you have no history of going on military operations in a conflict zone and risking your life as I have done.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteyou really are a particularly nasty and cowardly piece of filth aren't you Bob?

Some justification of this insult might make it vaguely plausible when it clearly comes from a near illiterate publican. A fool who is regularly lauhghed at for his mangled English and serial malapropisms.
perhaps because of your time speaking Africans,
Yes indead I spent a huge amount of time talking with Africans - I resent your racist comment so redollent of the BNP style of bullying and defamation in EUkip.
and suppressing the black majority in South Africa.
You revolting contemptible little man - you know absolutely nothing about me, yet you make claims of my BNP connection founded on total lies.
Now you disgustingly claim I repressed Africans without one shred of evidence or any knowledge of how involved I was in the anti apartheid movement or my involvement in releasing African prisonesr, or my confrontations at Foster Sq.
YOU Bob Feel Martinis are a coward, a liar, a cheat, a fool and utterly contemptible.
Your comments are dishonest, offensive, wrong and cowardly.
He released the safety catch as described in his own post, nothing to do with 'I have spent extended periods with my safety catch OFF in both ambush and self defence mode'
Even less to do with committing a crime as you libellously claim - bearing no relationship to Men Rea which clearly you have no understanding of.
Bob Feel Martinis you are beyond doubt a shamefull liar and you owe Paul Wesson an unequivocal appology. You are an excrecence and bring shame EVEN on the corruption and dishonesty of EUkip.
As for consequential errors, you write of, clearly there can't be any as your posts are materially inconsequential in their entirety.
What a foolish comment - I would expect this groundless wheedling from a child caught stealing!
Cowardliness is not allowing people to comment on your blog.
The word - in your illiteracy - that you seem to have wanted was 'cowardice' - for a clear example just look in your mirror.
Bo Feel Martinis you are a gutless cowarly liar - this can be seen from your oinability to substantiate your offensive name calling, on a serial basis.

Greg L-W.
