Independent UKIP: Are you seeking the prize for social innocence? First, I know not who you are. Are you just a party member and nothing else? Are you a paid employee UKIP/IDG/, a supporter, perhaps. Why should I reveal anything whatever to you?
I will tell you what is allready in the public domain. There are people (plural) who have been allocated a date, time and venue for their respective police interviews and statement submissions. Presumably this was known to Clive Page, or other party employees, but were they, like Elizabethan diplomats,
forced to remain silent and, 'lie for their country's good'. More likely, they were they genuinely ignorant of these arrangements and just pretended to know more they do, to justify their keep? What do our party researchers do for their money?
Now let us look at a more unjust criticism of me by Mr Page. Namely, that I am only wise after the event; relying on the advantages of hindsight. You appear to be suggesting the same thing thing, only by a more complicated route. Do you think, that there is an obligation on me to peruse the, 'speakers list', for conferences which I do not attend, or the preparation for which I am not involved? I do not believe that those who arranged the Exeter conference, were ignorant of the personal opinions, held by those whom they invited to speak. The task is made easier, when some acctually have their own websites.
As the confessed font of all wisdom, you will be equally aware that another Olaf investigation is pending, in addition to the one concerning Wise and the other already in the public domain. No comment will necessary about that one. In addition stronger, 'regulatory control' by the statutory agencies. concerning party finances is not being ignored. Lack of this regulation, is something which the leadership has complained about in the past. They can sure that we will not be neglected in the future.
Providing that we have disciplined party officers and MEPs', there is no reason why progress cannot be made. The membership are generous, long-suffering and loyal. The cause, the membership and the party, in that order,
will be the vehicle for advancement.
