UKIP - silence on Labour incompetance and sleaze?

BASILDON BOY · 30-04-2006, 12:10 PM

A couple of weks ago UKIP was jumping all over the Tories regarding the loans scandal.

UKIPs silence over Labour Selaze is deafening!

I agree 100%

Iwould have thought that they had all the ammunition needed to attack,
but perhaps they are waiting for the helicopter gunships to arrive :roll:

Not just Labour sleaze, either. David Cameron's extraordinarily misjudged (and very helpful) attack on UKIP was of course triggered by UKIP's plans to use the Freedom of Information Act to demand details of the Conservative Party's secret backers. Having seen that the Tories are very sensitive on this point, I thought that UKIP would press home the original attack by demanding and then publicizing the info about loans to the Tories. However, it has all gone rather quiet. Did I just miss the outcome of this? Or is it that requests under the Freedom of Information Act are rather slow, and the Tories are stalling?

Is that David (Lexus) Cameron we are talking about?

Mark Croucher explained a while ago that discloure by ELCOMM is within 20 working days,ie excludes the 3 Bank Hols as well as weekends.Info is due just after local elections;shame but so be it.

Oh, thanks - I missed that. Well, the timing is bad luck - but at least UKIP will have done a public service by getting this information into the public domain.

Glad to see we are still gunning for the Tories while New Labour is falling apart!

Sarumano · 01-05-2006, 09:21 AM

So why aren't we sinking our teeth into the bloated rear of New Labour?

BASILDON BOY · 01-05-2006, 10:08 AM

It would be totally wrong to say its because we are run by a bitter bunch of ex-tory has-beens who hark after the glory days of right wing Thatcher and the Maastricht rebellions. There is absolutely no truth in the rumour that those in control are using UKIP like some tory political pressure group to force the Tories to shift to the right on the issue of the EU. The silence from the UKIP high command is deafening!

Labour are on their knees - we should be attacking them big time.
