This forum is not an official UKIP forum. Indeed, at one point they couldn't stand this forum bearing the UKIP name even though at that point it was primarily inhabited by UKIP activists.
As for access being refused, I do not understand. You're a member of this forum. How can you be a member if you were refused?
UKIP won 12 seats in the EU Parliament. We have lost 3 due to the dishonesty of Ashley Mote, the impatience of Robert Kilroy-Silk and one of our MEP's, Tom Wise, is currently suspended pending investigation for fraud.
It's not pretty, I have to admit, but one was hardly UKIP's fault, one was Kilroy's fault and one is yet to be determined.
As to the accusation that we haven't done anything, you are almost completely right. UKIP MEP's have done a few useful things but they are of limited use.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this Alex, I've been busy preparing for Local Elections....
I'm unable to, at present, trace the address I wrote to for the UKIP membership details. The info may have been put into the recycling bag months ago.
What I can confirm is the date I initially tried to register on this Forum, hoping I could get some info about the delay in UKIP membership details.
I received the computer generated reply to my membership on 14/06/07. I can PM you a copy if you wish.
As I was unable to log on to the Forum, I sent an email to which no reply was received. I can PM this also if you wish.
As no replies were received regarding membership of UKIP or the Forum, I decided to look elsewhere and thus came to be a BNP member....
I have, obviously, re-registered onto the forum successfully, but not with the same details as before.
I have no reason to doubt your word that the UKIP MEPs have done anything useful during their time in office. The problem is that nobody else knows about it. They should make more use of the media to announce their successes.
There have also been some glaring failures. Not least of which is the failure to highlight the budgeting fiasco of the EU, where accounts have never been signed off....massive fraud possible with such a system. I wrote to all NW MEPs on this issue, and only received a reply a month later, during which time it all became public.
So, in a nutshell, that is why the UKIP lost a potential member and the BNP gained one.
