UKIP's GLA Headlines Emphasise Hodge Hill's Importance

This is but one quote of many from London newspaper's on the impact the two Greater London Assembly members are already having on the media and people of the Capital:-

"Mayor Ken was also questioned this week on the growing local opposition to the scheme by newly-elected assembly member Peter Helm-Cross, of the UK Independence Party, who also claimed that the current consultation process is flawed and recommended restarting it completely."

That extract is linked from here, others from the Capital's large circulation Evening Standard, excluding the letter from Damian Hockney a couple of days ago - are linked here, here, here, here and here.

Think what publicity an MP for UKIP would bring to the fight. The two GLA members have already achieved more for our cause than the three MEPs seem to have managed in their entire first five years in their paradise of perks that saps all will and independence.

Some of those reports highlight the attempts by the UKIP leadership to sabotage Damian Hockney's campaign both for the GLA and as Number 2 London MEP list candidate. That can now be seen to be no co-incidence given Damian's dedication to reform of the party and insistence on no dilution of its true purpose and policies and the obvious moves by Farage to halt the party's domestic advance now that his personal Strasbourg sinecure is secured.

Perhaps Damian would not be reluctant to now take the mesage to Westminster via the increasingly winnable Hodge Hill by-election, where the Labour Party is reported as split apart by the attempt to impose Head Office candidates. (See the link from the post below).

We must not permit those who see UKIP only as a long term Strasbourg meal ticket to sidetrack the true intent of the party's membership, which is to seek an early end to domination from Brussels and consequently an early cessation of payments to Britain's European Deputies in the Parliament - including what are increasingly being seen as the UKIP dirty dozen! Farage has already proved, time and again, that there is little he will not contemplate or undertake to lengthen his taxpayer-funded, luxurious and loose lifestyle.
