A Lighter Note for a Long Weekend

A UKIP member who attended the London activists' meeting in January, where the leadership were roundly condemned, was reminded by our earlier posting regarding Nominating Officer problems, of an amusing incident which took place at that January meeting. This is what he wrote to us...

Quote

"The recent posting about the leadership's last throw at stopping Damian Hockney and the Reform UKIP team reminds me of a very funny thing that happened at the activists' meeting.

The only people there who supported the leadership out of about 60 people were a small group of three or four which included Heather Bennett, the former London organiser who had just walked out with no notice, leaving the region in the lurch a few months earlier.

As the meeting progressed, she became very angry and almost hysterical.

Finally she got out of her chair, and started shouting, concluding with the remark: "Anyway, this is a crock of s**t and I'm out of here..." Exit Heather.

A wag at the front of the hall, and he knows who he is, called out after her: "Is that a motion, Heather". It injected a much needed element of humour and relief into the meeting...
