Jill Seymour, UKIP and HMS Belfast. Friday 17th October.

In a desperate attempt to raise money Nigel has booked HMS Belfast. He hopes to persuade ‘the great and the good’ to donate hundreds of thousands of pounds to UKIP’s war chest. Various Lords, admirals and minor politicians have been invited in an effort to persuade them to part with some cash. Even Mr Bannerman will be there to explain how he is related to Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman.

UKIP’s financial position is rather dire at the moment. They don’t even have enough money to fight an effective Euro campaign. Nigel is worried that the increase in support for the Tories and the BNP could very well destroy UKIP’s electoral chances and end his dream of getting back into Brussels.

The event has been organised by Jill Seymour and was apparently paid for by her husband. My sources inform me that it cost him between £9,000 and £10,000.

Our Jill has been proving rather rebellious lately. On more than one occasion she has spoken in favour of Robin Page, John West, Eric Edmond and Del Young. She even complained to one NEC member that she felt ‘left out by Nigel’. As you can imagine Nigel was far from pleased. He likes his NEC compliant and preferably silent.

In order to shut her up he offered her the chance the organise the event. Nigel knows that Jill loves meeting aristocracy and c list celebrities. How could she refuse such a tempting offer? As expected, Jill took the bait and is now as quiet as a mouse. How Nigel managed to persuade her husband to pay for it is anyone’s guess!

If you fancy listening to Nigel and don’t mind paying a very large entrance fee why not go along to HMS Belfast. Be there for 6.30. Ordinary UKIP members are not welcome.

Thanks are due to Nigel for actually doing something of potential use to the anti-EU cause.

Sorry to disillusion you but Nigel is only interested in the Gravy Train for himself and his friends.

How very odd I attended a meeting this week where we were we told already have over 30% of the funds required and that is just from ongoing regional and branch events. We haven't even got going on the real fund raising yet.

Why doesn't somebody shut up this cowardly scumbag?

If I knew who he was I'd make the necessary arrrangements myself.

Nigel and DCB are by far the most worthwhile people in UKIP today.

Niall Warry

So you believe UKIP has no money problems

Is that a pig I see flying by

Who from UKIP was at this event?

Keyser Soze

Perhaps Greg L-W and possibly Robert K-S?

Nigel couldn't attend,his membership dues are out of compliance I believe.

Years ago, I bought a late 18th century 2 volume edition of the collected Letters of Junius in a 2nd hand bookshop. It was pretty cheap, being in a very tatty condition. Haven't got it to hand, unfortunately.

So far as I can remember, the author was fairly bitchy in places, but did employ witty and incisive argument to attack the policies of his targets. He may have been right or wrong about this or that issue, but he was plainly a supporter of liberty and an opponent of arbitrary power.

The junius here, by contrast, seems to simply make things up in order to stir up trouble. Much of it is trivial, or banal and the few juicy bits usually aren't credible, or would only be believed by people who really wanted to believe them. The latter effect is pretty strong, though. If I started a new user acccount on this forum as, say, "John Amend-All" and wrote that a secret source had told me confidentially that Nigel Farage shags goats, then at least half a dozen people would reply within 20 minutes that they knew this all along, that the rest of the NEC shags goats too, that it shows he is unfit to lead UKIP, and that he should be reported to the RSPCA.

Many people speculated about the true identity of the 18th century Junius. I don't think many people will bother speculating about the identity of our own dear junius here (should I call him Junius Junior?). I suppose he is either working for the Labour Party on an internship or else is a pal of GLW. Does it really matter which it is? His smears aren't even outrageous above to be really rivetting. Try harder, lad! Try cranking up with the Sunday Sport before you start posting! At least it has some imagination and a sense of humour.
