Good News For Ukip & Nigel?

[Khandro]

You probably wont see this important decision reported in many places, so I'm putting it here;

you sure it's not all over the Guardian! PMSL!

I feel a change of avatar coming on.......

Now that the Electoral Commission have been forced to quietly put this to bed do you thing that they will now concentrate their efforts on the real election mispractices. Like the ones conducted in the Muslim dominated areas?

ichi; another smart move by Nigel; by shaming the Grauniad into reporting it?
I can imagine the cheeks of the editor's bum tightening as he was forced to say, "OK, print it!"

[jno]

well you wouldn't expect anyone to actually check before mounting their hobbyhorses, would you, ichkeria?

[jno]

the Guardian editor isn't a he.

[ichkeria]

I think you should spend less time contemplating male buttocks.
Breitbart usually hoover these stories from the British press so it was highly unlikely it hadn’t appeared anywhere else

[ichkeria]

Female buttocks then :-)

[jno]

Press Association story, Ichkeria. Editors who subscribe to PA can print them as they wish. The editors of the Mail and Sun don't seem to have done so ... I sense a conspiracy

[Togo]

Can you remember? The accusation of "electoral fraud" was front page "news" for days in the left wing media outlets. Frequently resurrected, time and time again, for months thereafter in a blatant attempt to undermine the UKIP voter base. No big headlines or false analysis this time round though. Wonder if the EUSSR has had it's financial machinations investigated yet? Perhaps they will let Nigel audit their books.

[ichkeria]

The Mail of course now has a very un-Daily Mail-like editor (ex Mail on Sunday I believe)

[ichkeria]

I remember accusations of Tory overspending in Farage’s constituency. Which he seemed curiously unfazed about. I don’t recall this at all but then I’m not ‘obsessed’ :-)

togo: " Wonder if the EUSSR has had it's financial machinations investigated yet? Perhaps they will let Nigel audit their books. " - think it's been almost 20 years since they last found an accountant bent enough to audit their books!

That accounts for many things, - is it a 'she' then? - there are plenty of alternatives nowadays.

A genuine chartered accountant would not dare sign the fiddled books off TTT. They know that they would be liable to criminal proceedings, and either prison or a crippling fine, once the pyramid scheme collapses and the real ways in which funds are used as bribes and for corrupt activities. To say nothing of the large scale misappropriation of monies by the head honchos.

Bet some are still scraping the muesli off the walls whilst glaring through scarlet faces!

[ToraToraTora]

are those the "gammons" YMB?

I picked this up through the 'box' and the Telegraph. Glad it has been sorted. Perceptions are, however, the problem.
