Thread: Sean Gabb at Exeter

But then what does one expect from a party that is held together by nothing other than hatred; hatred of the EU might be justified, but hate is a corroding influence that has held UKIP back.

You ignore the fact that your leaders work themselves and their bank balances to the bone to try to do the best for this party; you ignore the fact that you have leaders who are straight down the line -- Gerard Batten is, for instance, one of the most scrupulously honest people I have ever met -- and, in the main, honestly trying to advance the cause.

And what do you do? You moan about them securing money to try to help the party get on; you leak stories to the papers; you revel in every scandal and you attack the most honest leadership in politics (other than LPUK's, of course).

If I were Nigel, or Gerard, or most of the others, I would have given up by now. For heaven's sake, you expect to be attacked this viciously by your enemies -- but by those who are supposed to be your friends...?

Let me make this absolutely clear: had UKIP's members not been the absolute ******* pits, I would probably still be with the party. Unfortunately, too many of them are and I cannot associate with such back-stabbing, narrow-minded, evil little ********.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Spot on DK!

Petwina, who do you mean. Your post is obscure.

I think you will find that all parties, even thise of moderate size, are exactly the same. If the Libertarian Party has not reached that point yet it is probably because it is so small that everybody knows each other.

The sweeping collective condemnation of 'the majority' of UKIP members is hardly an inspiring example of pulling together.
