He don't half pick em, doesn't he !

[Slapshot]

Don't see how it's bad news seeing as the party expelled her in 2009...sounds like they are being serious about clearing out the real rubbish..

[mikey4444]

Perhaps they shouldn't have recruited her in the first place ?

[ChillDoubt]

Deary me mikey, can you hear that noise?










It's you, scraping the side of the barrel.

[mikey4444]

Knew that would annoy some of the UKIP apologists on AB !

[agchristie]

Mikey,I dont think this news impacts on Farage.Had corrective party action not been taken earlier it may be a bit different.

We have seen plenty of underhand activities across all the leading parties over expense fiddles,etc

[askyourgran]

The woman was expelled four years ago mikey, you might as well say that the Labouring Party didn't half pick their lot - Ed Minibrain and Balls. Dear me poor Nigel doesn't deserve all this flack.

[mikey4444]

Yes we have and whenever its a Labour politician, the Right are quick to point it out. I am merely making sure that when its a Far Right politician, similar approbrium is due.

[agchristie]

If it is wrong,it is wrong irrespective of who it is or which party they represent...

[ChillDoubt]

As ever mikey, a 'very minor politician' appears to fill your every waking thought.

Keep trying.

[mikey4444]

No argument with you there agchristie ( 16:05 )

[Mick-the-Miller]

The problem with UKIP is that it is a protest party - it's for people who don't like things like : Europe, Immigration etc etc - it doesn't stand for anything positive!

[agchristie]

Ukip will take a few votes off the Tories/Lab but that is just about it...

[mikey4444]

Mick...be careful...that sounded a bit like common sense to me !

[Zeuhl]

Looks like Ms Sinclaire's trial isn't going to produce much in the way of positive PR for UKIP

"The charges relate to my time as a UKIP MEP when I was under the guidance and oversight by the party in the Parliament.

"It was also me, who in 2010, drew the attention of the West Midlands Police, to irregularities I discovered had taken place, without my knowledge, in my UKIP office."

[mikey4444]

askyourgran..."poor Nigel" and "Minibrain"........not the most balanced of replies was it !

Poor Nigel...I have heard everything now ! He is earning far too much for not attending at Brussels to be poor surely ?

[Gromit]

That is unfair. Farage was not the leader of the Party when this woman was elected. She was dismissed from the Party 4 years ago, again before Farage was in charge. She stood as an independent in June.

A non story, especially in respect to Farage's leadership.

You've chosen a wrong one this time, as others have pointed out she is no longer a member of UKIP.

/// Yes we have and whenever its a Labour politician, the Right are quick to point it out. I am merely making sure that when its a Far Right politician, similar approbrium is due. ///

She is not a Far-Right supported either, since she was expelled from UKIP after she refused to sit with a Far-Right Italian party.

*** Ms Sinclair, who was born a man but had gender reassignment surgery when she was 23, once stood for the Ukip leadership but was expelled from the party after she refused to sit with a far-right Italian party in the European Parliament which was allied to Ukip. ***

Back to the polls Mikey you are more accustomed to those.

/she is no longer a member of UKIP./

BUT according to the news report, Ms Sinclaire states

"The charges relate to my time as a UKIP MEP when I was under the guidance and oversight by the party in the Parliament.

"It was also me, who in 2010, drew the attention of the West Midlands Police, to irregularities I discovered had taken place, without my knowledge, in my UKIP office."
