"I believe that it is inappropriate for this conference to take place during the electoral process for selecting MEP candidates as it is clearly going to be used by some of the candidates for excessive self promotion, as has already been the case with some of the advance publicity material. The Party Chairman advised that the event should be re-scheduled in the autumn - this advice has been ignored". Jeffrey Titford

That is bl**dy rich coming from Titford. This is the man who has been promoting Stuart 'Something of the Night' Gulleford as his successor for four years! EVERY newsletter and newspaper he puts out has Gulleford's picture on it. He also told members at the London conference that Gulleford was his successor.

The NEC gave West permission to hold the conference in May. Titford then decides to ignore this ruling and abuses the party database by sending out a nasty email about Mr West. I wonder how Bannerman, Nattrass and Batten will react? After all, Titford has accused them of 'excessive self promotion? It's a bl**dy disgrace!
