Save our Party - Update 4

This blog will now return to its regular more frequent updates.

Here is the latest circular e-mail from Hamish Inglis, dated Wednesday 21st January.

Quote

Rethink on the EGM.

We have, with much reluctance, decided to abandon our demand for an early EGM in favour of supporting those candidates in next month?s NEC election whom we regard as true Euro-sceptics and known to be opposed to the Cabal.

We accept, with reservation, the advice offered by a number of Chairmen that the NEC election provides a practical means of frustrating the Cabal in such a way as to minimalise the risk to party unity.

We will therefore be doing our utmost in the weeks ahead to promote genuine Euro-sceptic candidates, such as Damian Hockney, and all others who voice their intent to expose and exorcise those on the NEC who abuse the party as a vehicle for their personal enrichment.

Knapman and Lott come to town.

Yes, London Chairmen are indeed in for a treat when Knapman, escorted by Lott, arrives in town on the 26th! Ostensively they are there to win over those very many London Chairmen who simply have no faith, trust or confidence left in the less than dynamic, but handsomely remunerated, duo.

London Chairmen should, however, be wary! Woe to they who fail to recognise the meeting for what it is - an exercise in triage!

Regardless of what the London Chairmen consider to be the working agenda, the actual agenda is something else entirely. There are but three items on Knapman and Lott?s list - identifying those who can be counted on for support, those who can be won over or bribed (ala young Nikki) and those who are to be cast out - to join the likes of Hockney, Maloney etc, awaiting the pleasure of Clark, the dispenser of Cabal ?justice?! Mr. ?S? in particular should take note!

Has the Cabal done a deal with the BNP?

This question was first asked of us back in November, has been raised with increasing frequency ever since and simply refuses to go away! Until very recently we have discounted it, almost out of hand, on the basis that there is not the slightest piece of solid evidence to support such an assertion.

However early last week we received a worrying titbit from a reliable London source that has given us cause to look at this a little more closely.

The source in question claims that a paid employee of the party, a person who until very recently enjoyed the confidence of a Cabal member but who has since ?blotted his copybook? over his failure to rein-in a dissident voice, intimated that not only has a deal been struck but that it was struck as long ago as last summer!

From what we understand the alleged pact requires the BNP to pursue token campaigns in the three southern England European constituencies in which we have MEPs and which are our most promising in terms of further gains; in return for our party reciprocating in the north of England where the BNP, apparently, fancy their chances. The first part of this is, of course, a matter of public record, as is Knapman?s publicised rejection of the BNP offer.

Intriguingly (perhaps fantastically) both sides have, it is claimed, exchanged a ?liaison officer? to monitor each others compliance to the pact. We understand this to mean that the Cabal have facilitated the placement of a BNP official, masquerading as a UKIP official, into a position of authority where such monitoring is possible. The BNP leadership, presumably, facilitating the same in respect of a UKIP placement.

Well that?s the rumour! As previously stated we are in no position to verify the accuracy of this allegation and it could all be just another example of Cabal orchestrated ?smoke and mirrors? aimed at discrediting this bulletin (yes, they really are that worried about us!)

However, having said that, the following is worthy of consideration:-

Although any open association with the fascistic and loutish BNP would inevitably bring the party into discredit the fact remains that a discrete deal along the lines rumoured would be beneficial to those candidates seeking election in the southern England constituencies concerned; if for no other reason than to neutralise a competitor for the anti-EU vote!. That would, at the risk of accusations of paranoia, be particularly beneficial to Farage, Titford, Booth, Knapman and Lott!

And, it has to be said, the existence of such a pact would be totally in keeping with the disproportionate distribution of financial resources towards the south in general and the south-east in particular.

Unfortunately we have to accept that we have no way of distilling the truth, if any, from this disturbing rumour; that is until June when, if our worse fears are realised, it is simply going to be too late to do anything about it!

The Sword of Damocles - part 3.

In previous Updates we have suggested that the reason why the media have ?kept their powder dry? and avoided attacking us for the corruption, sleaze, vote-rigging, intimidation, financial irregularity and illegality that has, under the Cabal, become the hall-mark of our party is simply that they are awaiting the opportune time to use it (in the run up to a major election perhaps?)

It is naïve to pretend, as some do, that the media hacks are either ignorant or indifferent to the many scandals currently surrounding our party and the damage that would result from the exposing of such! After all they have only to visit www.ukipuncovered.blogspot.com to get enough material to fill half-a-dozen Sunday scandal sheets ten times over!

But the Cabal doesn?t listen and instead of ?cleaning up their act? they simply add more fuel for the conflagration that is to come, for example:-

Not content with engaging the expensive and financially unaccounted ?services? of disgraced Dick Morris (of prostitute scandal ?fame?) we have now been informed, through the columns of the Financial Times no-less, of the recruitment of disgraced former Tory MP, Piers Merchant.

No cause for celebration there we fear! If the public remember Piers at all then it will be for a much publicised scandal involving him in an adulterous affair with a barely 17 year-old Soho ?hostess?. How the 46 year-old MP happened to gain the acquaintance of the, not long out of school, Soho ?hostess? is another question entirely!

While it may be conducive to business for Washington, London (and Brussels?) ?hostesses? to boast prominent UKIP members as former clients or ?partners?, it is nothing short of scandalous that the Cabal should be providing a political home for sleazy rejects from other political parties! ?We accept what the Tories reject? - how?s that for a campaign slogan?

So what is this fascination the Cabal has with disgraced political ?has beens?? Can they seriously believe that such people are going to endear us to the voting public or increase our credibility in the eyes of the media?

The damaging Financial Times article concerned is reproduced under the January 14th entry on www.ukipuncovered.blogspot.com.

And, despite all pleas for common-sense, the embarrassing press release containing Farage?s moronic comments relating to the bombing campaign against leading Europhiles, which place us in the same league as Sinn Fein apologists, has still not been withdrawn! Indeed, and incredibly, it has been publicly endorsed by Knapman, Lott, Titford and Booth! We quote:-

?Contrary to comments made by Gary Titley MEP on the PM programme, rather than feeling embarrassment at the remarks made by Nigel Farage MEP concerning the recent spate of letter bomb attacks on EU officials, we wish to congratulate him for bringing the potential dangers of closer EU intergration to the attention of the wider public. Mr Titley's assertions that Mr Farage had been 'disowned' by the UKIP leadership are untrue and without foundation.

Signed

Roger Knapman, Leader, U.K. Independence Party
David Lott, Chairman, U.K. Independence Party
Jeffrey Titford MEP, UKIP Eastern Counties
Graham Booth MEP, UKIP South West Counties"

The saying ?those whom the Gods would destroy they first drive mad? comes readily and powerfully to mind!

And finally.

Chairmen, have you sent in your email lists yet? If not do so today - the more members we reach the more likely the success of the anti-Cabal candidates in next month?s NEC elections. The future of our party really is in your hands.
