That would only make sense if he isn't launching a rival party in Britain...

Why would he launch a rival party in Britain, his argument is in Ireland. He also claims to be 'A' political. If he is to appear at the Conference then one must assume it is to support the party, not fight it. UKIP may have some funny ideas, but I don't think the leadership would invite him to campaign against us.

I've heard it was Philip Day - and yes Bob FM I read that in one of GLW's lengthy email missives!

We've had a Metric Martyr speak at conference, before, only to find him standing against one of our candidates. So don't assume that people who speak at conference won't end up contesting seats against UKIP candidates, having changed their mind later on. Killjoy-Sulk being the textbook example, of course, briefing against the leadership on breakfast TV the very next day...

I don't think Ganley would take kindly to being compared with Kilroy-Silk.

Irish 'No' vote architect plans Europe-wide 'referendum' on Lisbon Treaty - Telegraph
"Declan Ganley is planning to field more than 400 candidates in next June's European Parliament elections, in the 26 countries – including Britain – where voters have had no direct say on the treaty."

Yes, that was my point

Any change it might be Gary Cartwright, bringing fraternal greetings from the National Front?

I mean, they are anti-EU as well.

...I think.
