UKIP & the IRA



It was noted by a Conservative MEP this week that several UKIP staff were seen drinking with Sinn Feinners in an Irish bar outside the European Parliament. One of the UKIP staff present was press man Hermann Kelly.

He appears to be completely at ease in such company. We note that on the EFD website (LINK) Kelly refers to Dr Anthony Coughlan as "A good friend of mine..."

Coughlan is well known to us, for his support for Irish terrorist groups.

Coughlan has been involved with a number of Republican groups, at the height of the troubles, and is a former Secretary of the Wolfe Tone Society. Named after the founder of Irish Republicanism, its website (LINK) openly campaigns on behalf of Sinn Fein/IRA, and calls for complete British withdrawal from Northern Ireland.

Unsurprisingly, he shares Sinn Fein/IRA's opposition to the Lisbon Treaty, which is probably why such people are acceptable to Farage's UKIP.

Perhaps UKIP should consider its position at the point. It would appear that the party's main allies are now convicted racists, convicted Nazis, anti-Semites, and the IRA.

We need to call a time-out, escort Farage to the door, and assess what UKIP has become.
