UKIP's Chairman and Greg Lance-Watkins

The first of our title is David Lott, whose unfamiliarity with the truth and propensity to dabble in all kinds of duplicity and underhand manoeuverings, was first blogged many months ago in our start-up days. The latter, rarely absent figure from the fringes of UKIP's shadier episodes, became recently notorious for his suggestion that British patriots might choose to emulate the activities of the still unknown murderer of Swedish Foreign Minister, Anna Lindh.

After much delay and prevarification, while other more responsible, receptive, respectable and politically astute euro-sceptic organisations, who themselves might have had some former connection with this high-profile, supposed euro-sceptic, made their outrage clear and public, UKIP lengthily prevaricated, in spite of the well-known close links of its highest-profile MEP Nigel Farage with Lance-Watkins and other high level contacts suspected.

Eventually a resolution was agreed by the NEC to the effect that there should be no further contacts between the party and Lance-Watkins.

Amazingly, UKIP's Chairman David Lott has now been found in breach of that ruling, not only that, but he has been discovered having a telephone conversation with the man from the party's own Head Office. The following is an extract from an e-mail that was circulating on internet fora last evening, being just part of a longer complaint, which we understand comes from a senior longstanding party member about the activities of Chairman Lott:

Greg Lance Watkins: On speaking to the office staff, I was astonished to hear that you were in telephone communication last week with Greg Lance Watkins on your visit to Head Office, despite the recent NEC resolution on contact with him. Regardless of that, what would anyone make of the Chairman of the UKIP in telephone contact with a man who spoke warmly in favour of the attack on Anna Lindh, as well as spewing out vile personal untrue attacks on people in and out of UKIP?
Obviously this makes the investigation into leaks with Greg Lance Watkins more urgent and more complicated and your own judgement and position, therefore, must now be considered.


This blog has been calling for the resignation of Chairman Lott for months. It is the absolute minimum and essential first step if UKIP is ever to be salvaged!
