UKIP Uncovered
What motivates the leaders of the United Kingdom Independence Party?


Tuesday, April 15, 2003 

On Tuesday afternoon 25th March 2003, the Party Secretary of UKIP, Mr Derek Clark advised he contacted the newspaper "The Northern Echo"of Darlington , and informed the press room that Trevor Agnew had been expelled from the United Kingdom Independence Party.

This action followed a round-robin e-mail sent to the members of UKIP's National Executive Committee advising them of the press reports linking the UKIP with the BNP.

On Wednesday afternoon 25th March Mr Clark advised:-

Quote
On Monday afternoon, March 24th, I received copy of the article in the Northern Echo in which a new member, Trevor Agnew, claimed to be a candidate or supporter of both UKIP and the BNP.
I immediately contacted Peter Troy, who at my request, called on Trevor Agnew on Tuesday morning, when it became clear that Agnew is without doubt of the BNP. Peter Troy informed him that he could not also be a UKIP member and left him a letter of resignation to sign and return, but reported to me his belief that Agnew would not sign it.
I therefore mailed Trevor Agnew a notice terminating his UKIP membership forthwith. An answerphone message from Agnew today (Weds 26th March) indicates that he has received it.
I contacted the Northern Echo on Tuesday afternoon and spoke to the journalist who wrote the original article. She readilty accepted my statement that, "UKIP has no connection with the BNP, UKIP members are not allowed to associate with the BNP and that Trevor Agnew has been expelled from the Party." She promised to place a rebuttal in the next available edition.
Derek Clark, Party Secretary
