UKIP update on Spink issue

Taken from Google. UKIP deleted these. Trouble for them is that the internet keeps a memory - a very long memory!

Why is he now a bete noir? Do they think he was tainted in the expenses row?

UKIP - Do I understand them?

I see on the UKIP website that they have denounced Bob Spink, MP for Castle Point, as not being one of theirs. They say - Bob Spink? He's not one of us - as if they are proud of it. However, it was not long ago they were happy to shove out leaflets saying that they were the fourth largest party with MEPs, Peers and One MP. That MP being Bob Spink. What sort of moronic party is this?

Bob Spink was sort of in UKIP I suppose! Nigel Farage got terribly excited when he "joined". He waffled, "I am delighted to welcome the hard-working and deeply principled Bob Spink as UKIP's first Member of Parliament. As Bob is a signatory to the 'Better Off Out' campaign, joining UKIP was a logical step." Farage is a real plonker at times. He takes against people quite easily. Bob Spink just got into one of their revolving doors.

I won't be voting for them. A lot of nonsense comes out of UKIP, mainly slagging each other off. If you do vote for them, don't be surprised if they turn out to be expenses cheats or party poopers. Last time they got twelve, including the ridiculous Kilroy-Silk. He soon went, then they got two more in the dodgy department. You'd be voting for bottles on a wall! Veritas, UK First, Popular Alliance, they're all ex-UKIP sorts. The only thing they have in common is wanting to be out of the European Union so they can join EFTA to come in at the back door!

We've been warned!

Tory rebel Bob Spink becomes Ukip's first MP

The Daily Telegraph has announced that the UK Independence Party will announce today that Mr. Robert Spink, formerly of the Conservative Party will join the party. The BBC announces that he already has!

So UKIP gets its first MP. It would have been better for them, I suppose, if they had won the seat in an election, but gaining a seat by whatever means (foul ones excluded, of course!) is OK. UKIP can be pleased that they have an MP, two peers, and ten MEPs. Makes a baker's dozen!

When I posted before that Bob Spink might join UKIP I was told "You're welcome to him!". As I'm not a member of UKIP, I'm not bothered in that sense. However, it helps the cause of those against the centralising powers and interfering nature of the European Union. Personally I want to see the EU transformed into a Commonwealth of Europe. I want a big exit door constructed for the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers, and all the brown envelope brigade of Brussels to go through so that they get the sort of radar checking you find at airports!

In the meantime, UKIP gets Bob Spink! We'll have to see how effective he becomes as a UKIP member rather than a Conservative one.
