Should Roger Knapman resign?

B.A.Ware · 09-05-2006, 12:19 PM

Independent UKIP what the hell has this got to do with race its a point of principle Roger voted not to let the Eastern Europeans in and he also says these people work harder than the British.

If he was just an ordinary businessman fair enough but he is not he is a leader of a political party that espouses to stand up for the British people, you say it would bring us bad press if he was sacked, most people wouldn’t report it if he walked around naked so I don’t see how that stacks up.

Ideally, yes Matt, I agree. I think it is something to work towards. Former communist countries will have some assistance for a period of time, not forever.

The whole project is about giving Europe to Russia.

At the moment no country/party has a majority in the EU parliament - even though they sit in groupings - it would take a consolidated effort by ALL the MEPs from UK, Germany, France, Italy to create a majority.

MEPs seats are allocated by population of the country.

When Russia jopins, already in the pipeline, (no oil/gas pun intended), then Russia gets a majority and we hand over a machinery that the KGB could only in their wildest dreams have imagined.

Here's Rogers response to the article.

http://www.ukip.org/ukip_news/gen12.php?t=1&id=2141

Even if you were to accept his explanation you would still have to say that that he's shown a lack of foresight in not understanding that his actions would be percieved in the media and within the Party both. Unfortunately different standards apply when you're a politician, particularly when you're the leader of a Party. At the very least this matter has called his judgement as a politician into question.

It is apparent that Roger will stay on until September .
I hear on the grapevine that a number of branches have passed motions to the effect that he must go but as long as his line of " I ain`t done anything illegal " holds then he will stay on .

We have heard nothing from his office re the outcome of the complaint to the Press Complaints Office . From what I know about these matters they are dealt with very quickly -they have to be in case there are follow up articles in the offing . Neither have we heard what the exact terms of reference were, nor what the result was of the Trevor Coleman inquiry into the Tom Wise saga .

It is most unfortunate that the Party is being run in this fashion .

We have also heard nothing of developments in our demand, under the Freedom of Information Act, that the Tories disclose those who have given them loans.

That`s true .We should have been informed of that ages ago.

Mind you we have not been officially informed that there is a Leadership election in the offing either.

Is it still a rumour?

Petrina · 29-05-2006, 08:06 AM

A rumour which can only legally be confirmed by the Ind News announcement .

Millennium3 · 29-05-2006, 09:32 AM

Is there anything that can be done to oblige the leadership to make the necessary announcement?

Today is really the last day upon which the Ind News should have gone through the letter boxes of our members.
The Rules state that " An invitation to apply for a nomination form will appear in the issue of the Independence due to appear in May 2006."

If there is any more slippage the whole election will become chaotic .As this election is open to all members ( with some exceptions ) all members have to be notified of its existence and of the rules .
Receipt of nomination papers is set as the 30th June,time is of the essence now.

The magasine was supposedly at the distributors last week.
