Crisis in UKIP: Prof Smith writes to David Bannerman

My contacts at UKIP HQ have confirmed that they are now receiving resignations from the Party on a weekly basis.

Even Prof Derek Smith - a staunch supporter of UKIP - is getting rather despondent.

The following interesting email is just a another example of how UKIP is falling apart under Farage and Nuttall‘s dishonest and incompetent leadership:

Dear David

In attempting to e-mail my recent letter to INDEPENDENCE magazine, this has been repeatedly re-routed and rejected. Having now contacted Head Office by telephone to find out what goes, it appears that the Editor of INDEPENDENCE may or may not have resigned, there is no one editing the UKIP website and " ... we are uncertain about our communication channels either 'in' or 'out'".

Frankly, in the run up to important elections, this is simply not good enough. When I said exactly this, the riposte carried a strong inference of neglect of H/Q by the Leadership. I thereupon volunteered to contact you, whom I can rely upon to sort things out immediately.

Even if things are not as bad as they seem, it is obvious that morale has ebbed and someone needs to breathe new life into what many of the public will see as the Party's nerve centre. I know that it is a busy time but good communications are of the essence and it could be that there is "something rotten in the state of Denmark" or, rather, Newton Abbott. Let us hope that it is merely the stench of rotting seaweed!

Professor Derek Smith

I must say that I am surprised that Prof Smith's is so naive.

Bannerman is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. He is incompetent, dishonest, lacks charisma and has repeatedly lied about his ancestry.

His only interest is joining the Brussels Gravy Train on June 4th. To expect David 'twitcher' Bannerman to do the decent thing and 'sort things out' is about as likely as Nigel Farage giving up the booze or keeping his hands off Annabelle Fuller!
