Labour MEP's Refusal to Debate UKIP.
As pointed out in our post immediately beneath this, we find it strange that UKIP seemed to seek positive publicity from a Labour MEP's refusal to debate with a UKIP candidate. We have now traced the Press Release put out by Richard Corbett MEP, the Labour European Parliamentarian in question which we quote below. What breathtaking incompetence on UKIP leadership's part to hand such wonderful ammunition to the party mainly facilitating our country's total immersion within the Franco/German dominated non-democratic EU conglomerstate. The press release also dated 23rd January follows:-
Corbett rejects "wholly unfounded" UKIP allegations
Richard Corbett, Labour MEP for Yorkshire and the Humber, has unequivocally rejected claims by the far-right UK Independence Party that he “chickened out” of a regional devolution debate in Grimsby.
Richard said that the UKIP press release severely misrepresented his views.
“In principle I am always delighted to take part in public debates with anti-Europeans, as indeed I have been doing frequently.
Terrorist sympathisers
“But I would not feel happy sharing a platform with an extremist faction which sympathises with anti-democracy terrorists, as UKIP recently did after elected MEPs were subjected to letter bomb attacks.
“Also, the subject of the debate was UK regional devolution – nothing to do with Europe at all. This does not tally with the involvement of UKIP, whose sole aim is to seek British withdrawal from the European Union.
“Far from keeping my reasons secret, I in fact explained all this to the debate organisers at the time of the invitation.”
Underlying reasons for UKIP attack
He added:
“Frankly, I'm amazed that UKIP has the cheek to accuse me of being ‘on the run' from political debate. The underlying reason for their smear campaign is simply that I have been active in putting the pro-European case in the public arena – something they would rather have kept quiet.
“The anti-Europe extremists are clearly getting desperate.
“Recent UKIP blusterings have been less and less related to any semblance of political argument. They seem to be reduced entirely to making unfounded personal attacks on people whose views differ from their own.”
Abusive e-mail campaign
In response to another attack from UKIP, Richard added:
“A poll on the European constitution was withdrawn from my website when my office was targeted by a campaign of personally abusive e-mails on the subject.”
