Party over for UKIP in Plymouth

We just have to hope that one day something happens, that makes everyone just forget their side differences and concentrate on returning democracy back to Britain first.

That's a notch up on the interest factor as far as I'm concerned.

I bet the BBC would not have reported anything if the UKIP branch had put out a press release saying they'd just tripled their membership.

The biased pro-EU BBC likes bad news about UKIP. A branch allegedly falling apart is just what the BBC is looking for at this short-of-news time of the year.

The neighbouring branch should absorb the branch until it can be relaunched.

Iain Dale, the former Conservative candidate who stood at North Norfolk at the last General Election (when there was a swing from him to the Liberal Dims of over 8%) has, today, made less than friendly remarks about UKIP (and not for the first time).

Mr. Dale received a lot of publicity several months ago when it was revealed that he had not been included on the ‘A’ list of Conservative General Election candidates set up by David Cameron.

This is what Mr. Dale has just typed into his website (in the section with today’s date at the top) about the party (UKIP) this evening:

"You may remember a whole constituency association of UKIP resigning en masse a few months ago in West Dorset. They were followed by the Southend constituency association. According to the ever excellent West Brom Blog the 120 members of the Plymouth constituency will be departing tonight. Three down, 656 to go..."

All these resignations appear to have a 'common purpose' and follow a distinct pattern.The closeness of this departure to Saturday's superb coverage of UKIP in the Telegraph and the increased attacks from the Tories and BNP may well be related.

I have just been informed where one can find out the written questions posed to Graham Booth by Plymouth UKIP and the answers received .

You can find them on http.groups.yahoo.com/group/eurorealist/
message 11687

Have a look and make your own minds up .

Don`t think any conspiracy theories are neccessary in this case just a nasty case of lack of transparency /misunderstandings .

A terrible waste of a good branch ,and a load of totally unneccesary bad publicity .

I`d be surprised if the BNP can syphon many of our old supporters as they are claiming .

"just a nasty case of lack of transparency"

There really is no point in trying to make sense of stuff written by G L-W.
