Hodge Hill By-Election Fiasco Continues

Peter Johnson, who stood for the Hodge Hill ward in the recent council elections and gathered 9.4 per cent of the vote, was today encouraged by the support of masses of ordinary UKIP members, but against the wishes of the leadership cabal, (all reported to be exhausted after their campaigning - or post campaign celebrating) to register himself as a UKIP candidate for the Hodge Hill by-election.

As support grew, this party, supposedly a contender for the third spot in British party politics, headquartered just down the road in Birmingham - was then reported as not having the one hundred pounds necessary for the initial deposit nor any extras for any funding of the campaign, so solicitations for cash were spread around the internet. This, mind you, from a party with 12 newly elected MEPs, three of whom - only last Christmas, boasted in a letter to the Daily Telegraph, that their positions were worth a quarter of a million pounds per year per head!

Worse was to follow, for when Peter arrived to collect the papers he was told that a paid Party Organiser, one J Carver with no elected responsibilities within the party whatever - had issued instructions to the Returning officer that this local candidate, apparently a UKIP Branch Chairman with the supposed responsibility and authority to select the local UKIP candidates, be refused the registration papers.

This situation is still developing and updates will be posted as this hopefully final demonstration of the corruption of the UKIP leadership cabal, its complete disregard for the party constitution and its clear and nauseating obsession for nothing but the perks of their Brussels and Strasbourg stipends are laid bare.
