English Democrat, I'd be grateful if you would stop vandalising the UKIP entry on Wikipedia.

This isn't about serious differences of interpretation or emphasis - you just keep making childish anonymous edits such as changing "Tom Wise" to "Tom Notso Wise", and replacing the UKIP web address with that of the English Democrats. Well, ho ho, but if anyone similarly messed around with the English Democrat's Wikipedia entry I suspect you'd be miffed. So please try to keep your razor-sharp political wit under control.

No problem

Once you get the 'Joke' site taken down linked below:-

http://www.englishdemocraticparty.org.uk/

Deliberately set up by UKIP to confuse people looking for the English Democrats website.

- You even have the check to say - 'Vote/Join UKIP'

What a bunch of clowns :shock:

Glass House & Stones come to mind :!:

PS Your current statement of devolution on you Wikapedia entry is not consistent with your English Parliament policy :wink:

Posting the URL of a spoof site will get you a warning.
How do you think I got mine?
Ithink you can do it up to ten times though

Johnny Hates Jazz

You appear to 'wear' your warning as some sort of 'Battle Honour'

Which spoof web-site did you post ?

Yes, I can see your point! I haven't seen that site before, but the intention seems dishonest rather than humorous, as it is plainly intended to be mistaken for the official English Democrat website. Having said which, on the basis of just a quick look through I'm not at all convinced that anyone in UKIP is behind this scam. Let me dig a bit more and I'll post again later.

Heh heh! I'll pm it to you ... I don't need 'Battle Honours".
Hell, it was just a spoof site someone got uptight about.
Harmless satire is all.

Results so far:

1) I notice that the link to UKIP which you mention is as follows:

I notice that the website linked to is not the real UKIP website, but a site about UKIP. I am familiar with this URL, having visited it a few times in the distant past. I believe it is owned by a young Tory activist and website designer with too much time on his hands, who calls himself "The Imperial Tories". When I first visited that site before the 2001 GE (I think), it gave a good impression of being an official UKIP site, but if you read the actual text it went out of its way to explain how true eurosceptics would be wasting their vote on UKIP and could best pursue their aim by voting for the Conservative Party. (Tactic sound familiar?)

Anyway, I visited the site again a while later and found it festooned with warning that it wasn't an official UKIP site, that people wanting the official UKIP site should ckick here etc etc. Looked like he'd had a call from a cheesed-off UKIP lawyer, would be my guess!

2) I just did a domain ownership search on www.englishdemocraticparty.org.uk/ using the search facility here: http://www.nic.uk/

The results were as follows:
(plus a load of blah - you can easily repeat the search if you like)

Google could find no mention of a company called Gecko IT Ltd at that address (I haven't tried Comapnies House). The address is a real one, though - I found a few other companies based there. I can't help wondering if the "IT" in "Gecko IT Ltd" actually stands for Imperial Tories rather than Information Technology, though I have no proof of that.

Anyway, my conclusion from this sleuthing is that this spoof website was probably not created by anyone in UKIP, but by this Imperial Tories prankster, either in an idle moment, or out of a passing impulse to help UKIP (Oh thanks mate. Not.) or out of a mischievous desire to stir up trouble . Why don't you ask him? I'm not accusing him of anything because I could be wrong, but I think that is where you should be looking!

Of course, if this spoof English Democrats site was made by someone in UKIP I would be pretty angry - we don't need that sort of low dirty trick. However, I don't think it was us.

Or maybe not.

Google on "Plestowes Barn Hareway Lane" and string of companies appear; technology companies, a catering company a builder.... No Gecko.

Maybe an accountant giving them a registered office facility.
