So much for the rubbish spouted about shabby deals with the Tories.

Quote:

Arch Tory Eurosceptic Bill Cash will be targeted by the UK Independence Party at the General Election, it was announced today

.

Quote:

However, UKIP will contest Mr Cash’s Stone seat in what an aide said was a deliberately provocative move.

Yeah, how dare we provicate the Tories by standing aginst them. Get used to it Tories, you let us down and we don't trust you.

Quote:

Richard Shepherd, another Tory Eurosceptic MP, will also face a UKIP challenge in his Aldridge-Brownhills constituency. He defends a 3,768 majority and Mr Cash 6,036.

Deputy UKIP leader and MEP Mike Nattrass has been short-listed for the battle against the Stone MP.

Even the leadership are getting stuck INTO phpbb_the Tories. This is magic.

Quote:

The contest has already turned nasty after the party claimed Mr Cash voted for the Maastricht Treaty.

Mr Nattrass said: “So far Mr Cash has been posing as a Eurosceptic.

Thats right we don't believe any of you are anti-EU. You are all fair game!

Quote:

He had voted for John Major’s government in the confidence motion on the issue, he conceded.

Thats what it boils down to, when it comes to saving his ****, principles fly out of the window.

Quote:

Mr Cash insisted UKIP posed no threat and said the record of leading figures including leader Roger Knapman would be revealed as “considerably less Eurosceptic than mine” during the contest.

Yeah thats why he left your party for a small unheard of outfit. Dream on you two-faced loser.

Quote:

Paul Barnish, chairman of the UKIP Stone Constituency Association, said: "I am delighted that this branch will stand up against Bill Cash who for too long has been trying to get the best of both worlds by facing in both directions."

No more hiding under the rocks. This election UKIP are going to slap the Conservatives INTO phpbb_showing their true colours.

Taken from UKIP Uncovered:

Quote:

"Please circulate.This is to notify everyone that Mike Nattrass is not on any UKIP short-list for the constituency of Stone. The press release issued by Mike Nattrass is a publicity stunt. Stone C.A. will be holding a selection meeting shortly and we have three good canddiates on the short list. They do not include Mike Nattrass. I repeat again; our candidate will not be Mr. Nattrass.The type of tactics the current leadership are using simply beggers belief. Kind Regards Paul Barnish Chairman UKIP Stone Branch "

Wasn't the local UKIP branch suspended? Or has this been resolved?

Oh dear. Just when I was getting all encouraged. I hope the above is not true or that the newspaper quote is wrong.

They were suspended, and so I guess the leadership have chosen the candidate as they saw fit!

Tom Wilde · 11-12-2004, 01:02 PM

Surely the branch that was suspended, as discussed in the other thread you've linked to, was UKIP Stafford? The branch referred to in this thread, which may or may not have Mike Nattrass as its PPC, is UKIP Stone. :?

My mistake!

ops:

Though according to the official UKIP site, it was an admin blunder.

I'll leave it up to people to decide whether that is true or not. I am sure we will see it cleared up in the next week or so (I HOPE).
