Further Failures

The disintegration of UK Eurorealism continues before our eyes.

UKIP this week announced the closure of their London Head Office at year end with the ensuing rumoured redundancies of both full-time officials, the Party Treasurer and General Secretary and relocation to the back-offices of a Birmingham Estate Agency owned by the Party's Deputy Leader.

According to this month's edition of The Sprout, another anti-EU organisation the "European Foundation" is in difficulties. Run by Bill Cash, who launched a referendum campaign in Blackpool on 8th October, he is no longer campaigning for Britain's EU withdrawal, and his organisation is likewise low on funds :

"Is it a coincidence that Cash's enthusiasm for his high-priced campaign coincides with the ailing fortunes of his European Foundation? Now down to three young, under-paid staff, it has moved out of its prestige headquarters opposite St James' Palace in London's fashionable West End to a room in a condemned building in the outskirts of London. If nothing else, a referendum campaign, would give it a massive cash injection.

But. whether he gets the money or not, of one thing we can all be assured, Bill Cash will never campaign for Britain's withdrawal from the EU, and will continue to use his position as the Tories' senior law advisor to make sure that no-one in an official position in the Tory Party does so either. (Mag. went to press before Cash's axing by Howard - ed.)

On balance, therefore, Cash may prove to be the Commission's most powerful secret weapon, all of which may explain why Dr Richard North, (see Sprout Sept and October 2003) who recently joined the Foundation from the UK Independence Party, now no longer seems to be working for Cash.


In UKIP, the belief exists and has been put to me, that the reason for Dr North, no longer being at the Foundation has some connection with the Doctor's known association with the disgraced Greg Lance-Watkins. As an acknowledged friend of Peter Troy, (read following post) and former close associate of Nigel Farage, these four supposed stalwarts of the movement resisting the EU's advance, seem to have been very closely involved in the present disintegration of the once active and effective movement working towards Britain's EU withdrawal.
