Paul Sykes has gone back to supporting the Conservative party, after getting upset with RKS remarks about killing the Tories.
Sky News reported that he has contributed £6000 000 over the last 10 years, and that the Conservatives apparent hardening of their position on the EU has helped make his mind up.
If this is all true I just don't understand it. He must have felt strongly to ditch the Tories 10 years ago and pour all that cash into, let's face it, big gamble. Now, when the Tories are on their backs, and UKIP look like doing something, he abandons his investment and decides the Tories will not sell us out again (against all historical experience to the contrary).
Is the real deal here that he is miffed thaqt RKS is not getting put straight INTO phpbb_the top job as he stated he favoured before? Either way, it comes as a blow to UKIP, as it needs all the funds it can get at this stage of it's life.
I just hope the popularity it has gained over the last year means more big backers on top of lots of smaller incomes.
I doubt my small contributions and efforts to buy stuff from the shop is going to have the same power as Sykes!
