Today, as many of us as are able to are attending rallies to celebrate our famous victory on June 23rd two years ago.
Today is also a good time to reflect on what happens when the majority of voters think “job done” and go back home. As we know, Brexit isn’t ‘done’ – and as some of us know and as many others are beginning to recognise, winning Brexit and defeating the EU is becoming more and more urgent because Brussels, the Establishment Parties and the MSM have been undermining the most important pillar of a democratic society: Freedom of Speech, thanks to EU legislation.
First, here is the letter sent by Paul Oakley, UKIP General Secretary, to Inspector Yaxley of the Met Police:
Lexdrum House, King Charles Business Park, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ12 6UT
By email only: James.Yaxley@met.police.uk
13 June 2018
Dear Inspector Yaxley
UKIP are writing with reference to the parliamentary hustings which were held at the Salvation Army Hall in Catford on the evening of 12 June 2018 to which we seek your urgent response.
As you know, Lewisham Police were informed in advance of the likely threat to that event by far- left activists. Indeed, there was a significant police presence there. In a startling decision, your officers permitted the protestors to congregate right at the entrance to the hall where they threatened, harassed and assaulted members of the public who were lawfully attending the hustings. No attempt was made was made to move those people away or, as far as I could see, to arrest any of the demonstrators who had committed criminal offences in clear sight of police.
Further, far-left activists within the hall itself went on to disrupt the speeches of the candidates at the meeting. Although there were police officers inside the building, these people were allowed to carry on disturbing the proceedings without any intervention or ejection.
Astonishingly, an operational decision was instead made that your officers would line up to block access by members of the public to the event.
As a direct consequence of the involvement of Lewisham Police, the event was cancelled. Had your officers acted in a proper manner and within their powers this would not have been the case and locals would have been able to experience what should have been an informative aspect of an important parliamentary election.
Accordingly, we look forward to receiving your full explanation for the bewildering failure by your officers to police this event in anything approaching an adequate manner. Further, kindly confirm the number of arrests which were made.
Please note that both this letter and your reply, or lack thereof, are not to be considered either private or confidential.
Yours sincerely
Paul Oakley UKIP General Secretary
Interfering with Freedom of Speech and our other democratic right – Freedom of Association – is a clear attack on the fundamental basis of our democratic society. The disruption of the Lewisham Parliamentary Hustings on June 12th shows how that is done – with the ‘demonstrators’ and the state in the form of the Police colluding to hinder Parliamentary candidates to have their say and be heard, to deny voters their right to hear what candidates have to say.
Nothing shows the contempt Labour has for their clientele, the ‘little people’, more than the weasel words of the Mayor of London in answer to David Kurten AM at the Assembly in the video clip in an article here. Nothing shows the poisonous atmosphere of our political discourse more than the ‘excuse’ of the candidates of both the main Parties not to attend because they didn’t want to give ‘the oxygen of publicity’ to the ‘far right’ candidate Anne Marie Waters. Above all, their contempt cannot be demonstrated more clearly than by the fact that they allowed the mob to rule, by allowing the police to stop the Hustings and disperse the audience rather than disperse the mob – a mob organised by the same Party whose candidate disdained to attend – see this latest article in Kipper Central.
Do remember, on this day, that the ‘hate speech’ legislation comes straight from Brussels.
Do remember, on this day, that our government and the Whitehall Establishment are still implementing EU Legislation and will do so unless they are forced to accede to a clean Brexit, to us leaving without any of the ‘conditions’ Brussels is putting on the table with impunity, without any challenge by government and establishment.
We cannot, must not ‘go home’ again – our job is not done.
We do want to achieve Brexit – and to achieve Brexit we must fight for Freedom of Speech. We do not want those who label opponents as racists, fascists, and hateful to determine whom we can listen to. Above all, we do not want to see the police and worse, EUROGENDFOR, determine who can and cannot have their say.
The fight is not over, it continues – it has to continue!
As we said two years ago, winning the Referendum is not the end – it is perhaps the end of the beginning.
Let us not squander our victory!
Police officers like lawyers bark (or stay silent in the night) because they are told (and paid) to.
The actions and omissions of the police are plainly being politically dictated and that means by someone in government.
Maybe it’s in order to copy the correspondence to the National Police Chiefs’ Council or maybe better still, armed services chiefs of staff given the foregoing, and anyway, they may soon be out of a job:
https://sputniknews.com/military/201806251065747678-army-eu-intervention-plan/
— when that initiative comes to fruition we can envisage any exasperated unrest on British streets being snuffed out by alien troops.
btw – does he not have a point (several actually)?

Well done, Paul. Though I know the letter was sent back in early June, I hadn’t seen it before.
BTW, I was given the same Inspector name, which I found memorable because it’s the first part of Tommy Robinson’s real surname.
On the ground that too many cooks (etc.), I’ll wait what the response is before following up on mine (which listed the possible avenues open to the police and challenges the choice they made).
For others, I couldn’t even get close (I was late even for the also-late hustings).
In a momentary gap in the hostile crowd, I thought I recognised one of the London members ahead (I thought it was Janice N, and it was) also being blocked.
I didn’t want to call out her name to get her attention as the ne’er-do-wells would have also heard it. Assuming nothing more was going to happen, I went back to my car. Should have waited because another 10 minutes later or so, the whole thing was cancelled.
UKIP is now experiencing exactly what the BNP experienced for years. UKIP congratulated itself on being ‘respectable’ and thought no never happen to us! Very naive a lot of people in UKIP are.
The nazi bnp did not become respectable!
It did not Martin but you’ve misread my post. UKIP supposed that it was respectable and thus proof against fascist attacks on its right to fight elections. Now you know better.
This letter misses the target. One of the main aggressors has been identified by Raheem. He is a Labour Party official, and is named. Hence we have situation where Labour Party officials shut down the hustings. Come on UKIP, get your act together!
In all fairness, please look at the date of the letter Paul Oakley wrote. it was one day after the event, a time when we all were still collecting evidence.
Also, as Freddy has pointed out in comments on the video posted – Labour complicity was manifest to all who’d cared to look.
It’s as if the police, Labour, union agitators and state saboteurs had a common purpose to impose Fascism on the rest of us.
Brexit is not done:
The unfortunate fact about the British people is that once victory is in site, instead of going for the jugular we tend to sit back, give ourselves a well ? deserved clap on the back and forget about it ! We only have to watch any Sport especially soccer or rugby to see this 90% of the time. Scotland, England, Wales & Ireland do exceedingly well up to half time and then get thrashed in the second half because of complacency setting in. Where has our fighting spirit gone ? It is time we started going for the Jugular again and hanging onto it until it is ripped out !
England beat Tunisia in the 91st minute.
I trust you are not trying to wind me up but if you read my post it does stipulate 90% of the time and if they had not been in extra time then that goal would not have happened would it ?
You’ve written off the British people then expect them to vote UKIP.
Our job is to offer solutions and an attractive choice at the ballot box.
You’re not doing that especially when riding your high horse.
More nurturing and less nagging ?
Who has written off the British People ? Are you reading the post correctly ! I don’t think so ! Britain and UKIP need to mobilise, stop backbiting and carry things through to the end which at the moment is not happening ! Our job is not to offer fanciful paper solutions but to lead by example and we cannot do that using the present scenario of everyone sitting around and doing very little. Nurture yes, but we have to get a sound strong base to nurture and until the British people decide to stand we cant do that..
“The unfortunate fact about the British people is that once victory is in site, instead of going for the jugular we tend to sit back, give ourselves a well ? deserved clap on the back and forget about it !”
Far too pessimistic.
“Our job is not to offer fanciful paper solutions”.
Why not, it works for the professionals ? Common sense has dissappearred as UKIP’s support returns to vote Tory=scared of Labour and vice versa.
We can offer a variety of goodies and may have to, to attract support when the msm are operating a no-show policy.
OK Believe what you like but when we have to bribe people with a variety of goodies just to get them to join the party then we are no better than Lab, Cons or Lib Dems. Also how many times in the past have we seen fanciful paper solutions rebound on the so called professionals I would suggest we only have to look back at Mr Bolton’s time in office . Its obviously a waste of my time replying to you so just carry on with your fanciful paper solutions and get yourself a spell checker
Note the Guardian winding up its readership … who are right now choking on their Avocado toast at Ottolenghi’s in Islington … about todays “far-right” protest led by Gerard Batten..
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jun/22/peoples-vote-march-against-brexit-london-thousands-expected
Indeed Hugo and Henry and their pet French Bulldog , Bumchum, will soon be on their way to Westminster to have a hissy fit and shout nastiness about that horrid ruffian Tommy before ‘phoning their drug dealer LaDwayne for a gram of Ajax to stuff up their hooters whilst complaining about knife crime later on tonight with their mates in Momentum…
And so it goes on folks….
Lots of pictures please.
Today might be interesting. In advance of the Khan -sponsored but taxpayer funded Eid love-in in Central London today —- oh and our own demo —-the BBC has launched its pre -emptive hit piece regarding Tommy Robinson. Expertly edited with two authoritative mouthpieces of course, this black propaganda advises the public that Tommy , and all his millions of followers are wrong. Or just thick. Like all us Brexiteers.
In addition …..the riot police, whose metal-grilled vans I witness are already parked in N1 and other parts of London as I write , will be out in numbers. They have been told to kettle and attack the ‘troublemakers of the far -right’ , presumably anyone with a Union Flag…
…..But NOT to control Khans mob, carrying Hezbollah flags , or the illegally black uniformed and masked Antifa thugs he and Momentum/Corbyn actively support and who I see are even being given free bottled water (!!!!)
Be careful out there folks.

Grieving citizens frustrated, confounded with lack of police response and possibly obstruction by police are taking out private prosecution in a vain attempt to get justice for the slaughter house of the Gosport Hospital scandal.
Police focussing on arresting people for ‘wrong’ dialogue on social media.
Police offering carte blanche to antifa momentum and extremists’ thuggery – intimidation.
Police and counter terrorism police interviewing school age children for playground arguments, pretend gun fights and looking up UKIP related websites.
Mother in court for allowing school child to attend a short educational trip to China.
The list rolls on getting longer each day as the death toll, stabbings muggings acid attacks and deadly burgling attacks increase. The state turns a blind eye to illegal immigration as lorry loads arrive daily in the UK. There are other major incidents of covered up crime carried out which are already covered elsewhere on here.
These are all signs of an increasing chaos. State institutions infiltrated and corrupted, be it the education system, the Home Office and possibly local councils.
The effects of this emerging chaos are managed by a complicit media and goes unnoticed as people continually adjust, acclimatising to the gradual incremental shift of societal culture taking place. The more recent generations never knew a different UK.

newspeak word of the day “normalisation”
You would have thought Chris, that the names of these ‘Home Office’ crooks just might have alerted TPTB a bit earlier ?? Don’t they vet these people??? Why didn’t MI5 pick up that one of them had 2 British and 11 Bangladeshi passports?
….. because …. Oh ! Imagine my shock…. They don’t vet them…… That would be ‘racist’.
You can bet the REAL numbers involved here are a significant multiplier of the 400 plus alleged too.
And who got a bung in the process.
It all stinks.
“They don’t vet them…… That would be ‘racist’.”
Mr Bav, the reverse is in fact the case as you probably already know, they actively positively recruit them.
Across the public sector and councils there are well funded “diversity” style posts and departments whose objectives are to “engineer” the distribution of the “identity background” make up of posts at all grades. These are financially incentivised by targets for whole organisations eg police, inland revenue and so on . (The same is probably true for the “third” voluntary – not for profit- charity sector eg housing associations.)
There were 5.36 million people employed in the public sector for March 2018, that is, 10,000 more than for December 2017.
There were 27.04 million people employed in the private sector for March 2018, that is, 136,000 more than for December 2017.
An estimated 765,000 people work in voluntary sector organisations. 2010
An extreme example of this in the USA was the recruitment of air traffic controllers. Applicants with a military air traffic control experience were rejected in favour of applicants with identity characteristics. Merit and experience were downgraded in the points system by social background questionnaires.
Back in the UK the same process is now underway for NHS surgeons.
“NHS must combat ‘white privilege’ and increase diversity, says trust executive” Independent May 2018
Incidents like the Home Office employee will increase as the greatest pressure on shifting the backgrounds of staff at all levels is in the public sector and its the public sector that has a higher level of control over the population. There have been reports of the impact of government diversity policy over the past six months.
“The white working class are ‘left behind’ because of immigration and badly paid jobs” Express June 2018
“White working class boys left behind because of ‘negative impact’ of focus on ethnic minorities and women, Labour’s Angela Rayner claims ” Telegraph January 2018

https://www.theguardian.com/healthcare-network/2017/may/16/progress-nhs-workforce-diversity
And it is no wonder there are such high levels of incompetence throughout these sectors, where the colour of your skin or your sex/gender is more important than your actual skills, abilities and experience when it comes to recruitment.
Equality is good: everyone should have the same opportunities and should be judged on their abilities.
‘Diversity’ is simply about ‘box-ticking’ and satisfying ‘quotas’ without considering meritocracy.
Why would Establishment political parties stop mass economic migration ?
Labour are happy for new voters confirming already safe seats.
Tories encourage desperate low wage migrantion to undercut UK workers as well as increasing consumption creating increased profits and fat cat salaries.
LibDems are just hoping the right boy turns up.
““Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.”
Just substitute “UK government” for “gods”.
police–who always state they need more money–will be out in large numbers as double pay on saturdays
Plenty of pictures please folks.
A hard-hitting press release, with images of the appalling police actions at the event, would have gone down very well in the media.
The media would have ignored any UKIP press release, just as they almost completely ignored this whole story. The very first mention of it in the national press was the Express article linked to above which came out ten days after the event.
It is not just Labour, their far left hard men and the police working together to silence For Britain and UKIP. It is the MSM too.
Together with the banning from the country of peaceful conservative commentators Lauren Southern and Brittany Pettibone and the arrest, trial and jailing in half a day of Tommy Robinson, things are getting very serious very quickly. They aren’t even bothering to hide it now.
Depends how it’s written Keith. The press releases that come out on the party website are soooo tame! The Express would certainly have covered it and once it came out there, the other MSM would have had to follow suit. The only reason the Express left it until 10 days after the event was that nobody told them about it.
But I quite agree – we are fighting the media as well. That doesn’t mean we have to give up; we just have to fight harder.
*Breaking News*…….on all msm.
Police officers injured (choked on Greggs) as far-right UKIP and For Britain Brexit thugs gate crash peaceful election hustings.
A witness, Gemima Snottarse of Save The Children (Not Rotherham Branch) said she witnessed all of them goose stepping and stiff arming outside Catford Mecca (bingo hall).
…….All together now. Let’s all sniff and say poo to UKIP………
That was the news.
Our local ‘newspaper’ now has a ‘local democracy reporter’ . Can’t quite remember, but I’m sure these posts are funded by the BBC to counter ‘fake news’ . Getting press releases read and used in those circumstances is going to be an up hill battle.
The BBC use their taxation-license fee to ensure they are at the top of every search engine – (google) search on any news topic. ie you pay for their propaganda and google etc profits. You will soon be paying for the bullets used at your own execution.
Debbie, I didn’t reply until now because I was wondering how I could reply without it coming over the wrong way. I’m sorry but I don’t agree, but instead of my explaining why, please watch this from Blair Cottrell, the Australian equivalent of Tommy Robinson. He says it better than I ever could. The MSM won’t be following the Express’s lead and reporting the Lewisham East hustings, just as they will be ignoring today’s Brexit march but covering the Remainer march.

Keith – Blair puts it better than any other video I have ever watched.
