'Elizabeth Winkfield' the Type of UKIP Member Daily Betrayed by Farage & Co.

The true spirit behind the UK Independence Party was on full display in Barnstaple yesterday. What a contrast to the blinkered self-interest and scramble for the EU trough which is all that has been on display from the party's corrupt ruling cabal, highlighted on this blog, over the past many months.

AND HOW the media came out in support. Most, however, avoided mention of UKIP; we assume because of the stigma now attached to the party's name. But this report from which we quote was an exception: ITV News:

Back at her Westward Ho! bungalow this afternoon Elizabeth Winkfield showed Westcountry News how she'd recalculated her council tax bill. The eighty three year old UK Independence Party member blamed Britain's membership of the EU for the huge rate rises.

"They're telling us what to do, they're practically ruling us. We're paying out money to them just to be thrown away".

If Miss Winkfield still refuses to pay the remainder of the tax then she'll return to face the magistrates again. A committal hearing could see her facing the possibility of being sent to prison for non-payment. Seth Conway in North Devon for Westcountry News.


The story was extensively covered by all the broadcast media and this morning's press coverage can be seen from theses links: The Sun, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Independent.

Where is the help and assistance for this doughty campaigner from UKIP? Nowhere to be seen. Evidence once again that all the party's efforts and assets are solely devoted to the South East Region and the ruling necessity of the re-election of Nigel Farage.

Certainly there was no sign of any UKIP presence in the press photographs. Did the decent and stalwart members of the Pensioners' Action Forum want nothing to do with a party whose name and reputation has rightly become completely besmirched?
