U K I P Loses Another Candidate
http:// www.bbc .co.uk/ news/uk -320283 43
Farage should have lanced this boil and sacked this daft woman last year, when she made her "ting tong" remark. He has now lost three Parliamentary candidates in less than a week, and its only 6 weeks to the next Election.
Complete shambles, from the Party that is supposed to be "breaking the mold"

But UKIP have lost these three in less than a week. The ones you mentioned went over a period of years, so I'm afraid your analogy is a little frilly at the edges.
I am not sure if you are a UKIP supporter, and I am not asking you,.....that is your own affair. But do you think that this shambles and lack of control by Farage makes UKIP more credible or less ?

AndyH...I would be far more impressed with UKIP's speed of dealing with these problems if they anticipated them first. Farage has quite a record of appearing on TV, sitting on a sofa, looking shocked and sheepish, whenever one of his loony tune candidates is caught out.
My point is that this is crisis management, in the run-up to an General Election, and its making him look a fool. And he normally doesn't need any help in that department.

Mikey -I don't mind being called 'frilly' I've had worse said lol!
Farage gets rid of the rot there and then, like a greengrocer taking out the bad apple before it effects the rest of the box -unlike other parties that tend to try and hide away the apple or even deny its bad. Farage is being up front and honest admitting UKIP have a few bad apples and getting rid quickly , better than trying to coover up misdemeanors like Labour and the Cons.

retro - I can tell you truthfully that I have never pulled a 'factor of three' job. For the simple reason that it is too risky.
Even the girl on the viddie - goes 'goop ?' when he says " £3,000 ?"
that is why I need you as an accountant - you seem OK with that and you would be the buffer with the taxman

UKIP has had to grow cery quickly and there was not enough central or local administration to properly vet all the candidates. So more unsuitable candidates made it onto candidate lists than might happen with other parties.
Coupled with the fact that many of those who applied were either ex-Conservative members (as was Janice Aktinson)) who had either been thrown out or encouraged to leave by Cameron moving his party more to the middle ground, and the result is some very poor candidates.

Retrochic...I think you are wrong. The fraud concerning the restaurant bill was so that it could be claimed back in expenses from the huge handout that the EC gives UKIP, so it is our money. In exactly the same way as it was our money that a lot of MPs were cheating us out of a year or two ago.
Unless I have got that wrong ?
