The origins of a UKIP 2004 pro-Tory Conspiracy?

On 30th June this year in a blog titled ‘Kilroy’s Dilemma’, linked here, I stated the following:-

"….he would now register as a UKIP candidate for Hodge Hill, and take the fight forward! Either he believes what he said in all those televised speeches during the campaign......or he does not. Simple really: one way lies truth and the tough fight for principles and the restoration of the democratic rights of ordinary people.....on the other, more lies, deceit and shuffling of debts with the likes of Nigel Farage....who is in reality ....THE BOSS!"

The need for UKIP to follow their successes of 10th June was so clear, and the reasons for no candidate coming forward so unbelievable that I blogged on the topic again and again and again as may be read here, here, and here (where it appears I nailed the wrong conspiracy) but had this telling point:-

The fact that a presentation was prepared and made to the NEC only about the Hartlepool by-election indicates that this may be the first by-election that UKIP is now able to stand due to secret undertakings presumably made by Farage to the BNP.

In this post titled ‘Farage Fiddles while Westminster Waits’, of the day before, linked here, before I protested the following:-

Meantime back in the EU colonised, subjugated and virtually de-democratised UK a fantastic opportunity to turn the tide of domestic politics by sending an MP to Westminster committed to withdrawing Britain from the EU nightmare of which Nigel Farage is now so clearly a part, is totally ignored by a party that gathered support from 51 per cent of the sample of over 2000 respondents in a YouGov poll issued only yesterday.

UKIP should be attacking the lies and manipulations of the professional political parties and booting them from office. Instead of being part of the solution, Farage has chosen to make them part of the problem. His antics in Brussels over the past week offer proof positive of his personal power-pursuit, as does UKIP's running scared in Hodge Hill demonstrate their disgraceful duplicity in the recent campaign.

There is of course much more for the months of June and July on events recorded at the time. How does the matter appear today, in view of all else that has since occurred? Worse, but now the nature of the plot becomes yet more obvious and the parts played by those involved more clear. This for example (here) ends with the comment 'Totally shameful'. Who other than Farage and possibly his stooge Knapman (were he consulted) might be to blame or throw some light on the matter? Here are two:-

John Harvey was the non-NEC member who undertook the study of Hartlepool that was presented in such a manner at the NEC before the Hodge Hill decision that these now almost certainly well-proven dupes seemed to have accepted the decision not to field a Hodge Hill candidate without actually having a motion formally proposed, let alone taken a vote. Who is this Farage stooge? Once on the NEC he is reported to work in Farage’s South East office, he keeps the editorship of the party’s one publication, The Independence News, under such tight control that its ineffectual content seems assured to condemn the party to virtual obscurity and assured ineffectiveness.

Read what I reported on the blog on 25th June linked here, amongst much urging for the party to stand, entitled 'Hodge Hill is UKIP's Strongest Birmingham Constituency':-

Some within UKIP, apparently having their case put forward at the NEC by non-member but powerful cabal confidant John Harvey, are extolling Hartlepool as the ideal by-election possibility. Harvey has been a powerful presence within the party (I am told since its inception) works closely with Nigel Farage in the South East and keeps tight control of the totally lamentable Independence News which must be responsible for deterring many potential new, more diverse, party members).

Stephen Eyre the Conservative Hodge Hill Candidate with suspiciously Farage friendly supposed Tory eurosceptic credentials, as may be read from wikipedia linked here and his South Molton Declaration to Dr Sean Gabb still available online and quoted here:-
