Is Farage MEP the Foil of MI6 Federalist Manipulators?

The circumstances under which the memorandum quoted below was issued from Bramshott should be urgently and immediately fully investigated:

- UKIP ON BBC QUESTION TIME -
SHEFFIELD, 20 MAY 2004 WITH ROBERT KILROY-SILK
We urgently need articulate members to be in the audience for the above
event. If you are interested, please ring 090 11 11 44 11 for details - BUT DON'T LET ON YOU'RE UKIP!
If you do get in, please be on your best behaviour. Calling out,
barracking, etc., does UKIP and our cause no good, as was embarrassingly
apparent at the recent Any Questions programme. Leave that to the others

I received it and decided not to circulate it on the blog as it was certain to be an embarassment to the anti-EU cause. It could not have been given broader circulation, nor been designed to be more obviously an official UKIP communication, nor have been more certain to be used against the party and the eurorealist cause. All kinds of such political tricks might well occur during election campaigns - a few discreet phone calls to activists in the area - always deniable - and who could complain? But this! With the UKIP name emblazoned prominently with full contact details, and circulated far and wide well beyond the Sheffield area where people could be expected to attend with ease - it could only be an act of deliberate sabotage or the crassest of stupidity. So which was it?

WHOSE IDEA WAS IT? WHO AUTHORISED IT? AND WHO SENT IT OUT?

Were the UKIP successes of the campaign's opening week just too great for some for them to be allowed to continue?

IDS was ousted when Conservative donors finally decided that they had had enough of the internal disputes and lack of progress! Now UKIP has a war chest, are those who provided the funds prepared to stand back and see them spent while the message is undermined by tactics such as these?

The magazine 'Notes from the Borderland of Winter 2001-2002' spelt it all out following the Norman Tebbit 'Spectator' revelations that UKIP, by allowing two known spooks to continue in its ranks, was perhaps following an MI6 (and New Labour Agenda). That part of the magazine's investigation concluded:-

"Ordinary UKIP members saw Tebbit as pursuing a Tory agenda: fair comment. The 'Telegraph" covered it straight. The 'Guardian' snidely dismissed it as a 'conspiracy theorist'...yet Tebbit had INCONTROVERTIBLY (UU emphasis - ed) established Skeate and Coynningham were MI6"

Note that one of those two was Heather Coyningham, now essentially running the Bramshott operation, having left her post in Brussels for the campaign and consequently still never far from the side of the co-incidentally??, ever disaster prone, Nigel Farage MEP.

If UKIP's sponsors are serious about fighting the EU in this campaign, they need to crack the whip - access, read and understand (or be briefed by somebody who has researched) the reams of material available on the causes of UKIP's ineffectiveness and interminable inner disputations, boot out the perpetrators, the manipulators and if necessary the manipulated and let those who really wish to resist the EU get on with fighting the remaining EU Parliamentary campaign.

It is now time for the National Press to take an interest in this matter in my view. 'Notes from the Borderland' quite correctly points out that there is a legitimate role for the security services in fringe political parties where racism and/or fascist elements are deemed to be active or if the parties themselves appear to have been penetrated by subversive forces. It is quite another matter if those with any connections with the security services, possibly having at first become embedded to serve such lofty purposes, thereafter remain to affect either the political direction or effectiveness of such fringe parties themselves - particulary if they are poised on the brink of a potentially major political breakthrough.

Such parties also owe it to themselves to fully open their own eyes, see clearly what has been going on around them and take urgent steps to remove any disruptive factors. A good starting point for all would be the concluding words from 'Notes from the Borderland's' survey into the infiltration of UKIP and its disastrous effect on the party's 2001 General Election campaign, sabotaged (stated about as clearly as it could possibly be by that magazine) by Aidan Rankin:-

"The uncharitable (not us obviously) may see this piece as the strategically-placed culmination of a well-timed and superbly executed wrecking operation. We really couldn't possibly comment. As it happens, Rankin's PhD speciality was Latin American politics. By a curious co-incidence the very continent Skeate and Coyningham operated in for MI6."

Is it any wonder that when I saw the e-mail from Bramshott, openly suggesting secret infiltration of the Question Time audience, in a manner that was certain to become public - SABOTAGE was the first thought that entered my mind.

Is yet another election wrecking operation now underway within the UKIP?
