In response to Tim Stanley and the Conservative hand ringers

 In response to an article by Tim Stanley in the Telegraph 11th June 2015

I hear a lot of this UKIP can't be allowed stuff ( from CCHQ friendly journalists especially ). The alternative seems to be the trust Cameron idea that tame Conservative Eurosceptics have swallowed with a sudden outbreak of Stockholm syndrome.

Well here's the thing - almost by definition no one in UKIP trusts David Cameron, now or ever again. Its just a fact that Conservative Outers ( not the same as fair weather Euroscepticism with half an eye on their careers ) need to accept.

Writing articles saying "UKIP must ..." is really writing propaganda for the Yes campaign - because frankly if we trusted the Conservative or Labour parties then many of us would still be in them.

There needs to be a start - and it will be made by those who turn out and turn up.

Many UKIP members like myself would welcome those from all or any political party who want a sovereign and democratic country restored. Those who have to wait to see which way the wind is blowing and the fine detail of the renegotiation frankly aren't going to be much use to anyone.

The train is leaving - get on and join in and stop whining.

1st Sept - coming ready or not

I've been speaking to a number of Conservatives in my local area and I get a common reply to the question - "Right the referendum campaign is about to get going - are you ready to join the Brexit campaign ?"

The reply is ( and I paraphrase a bit )  "We need to see what Cameron negotiates".

Today we had that officially from those who badge themselves as Tory Euro sceptics in Parliament.

There may well be tactical calculations here - principled ones based on getting the best deal on both sides of the ballot - and self interested ones ( Cameron & the modernisers are in power for probably 10 years - and anyone who crosses them can expect their career to be over as far as the Conservative party goes. They will eventually allow some freedom of conscience - but that will come with a career destroying price ).

In the mean time a meme has been put out by the CCHQ broadcast organisation ( Daily telegraph, Spectator, Daily Mail, City AM etc ) that a wider Euroscpetic campaign is needed and that only 13% voted for UKIP ( they don't qualify the when as it immediately begs the counter point of who won the European elections ).

The Tories, and behind them Cameron, want to stop the Brexit campaign from starting, determine the terms and out spend that campaign by millions upon millions of pounds with the whole resources of government being allowed to campaign against UK sovereignty.

Well UKIP won't be falling for it.

Its already clear that the referendum won't be fair or balanced. Its becoming worrying that those who once flaunted their Eurosceptic credentials and told us there's no need for UKIP as they have it covered are now saying they might vote against the UK in the referendum.

Well it would have been nice to have a wide range of interests and parties with the common cause of restoring our sovereignty, rule of law, and freedom - but we're not waiting.

The Brexit ( Cameron rebadged as No ) campaign starts 1st Sept.

Its time to stand up and to be counted.
