“There is a tide in the affairs of men …”
As readers know, UKIP Daily has formed an editorial coalition with Kipper Central, so I’m sure all Kippers will rejoice when reading this “Breaking News” which our friends and colleagues reported there early this morning:
http://kippercentral.com/2018/06/18/breaking-paul-joseph-watson-and-sargon-of-akkad-join-ukip/
This is excellent. UKIP has now become the Party, the only Party, to make a stand for Free Speech. And thanks to the huge online presence of both Paul Joseph Watson (check out his videos on youtube) “Sargon of Akkad” (check out his videos on youtube as well) and Count Dankula who was fined because someone was offended that his dog allegedly gave a ’Hitler salute’ many many more will now hear about UKIP, for the very best reasons.
Do watch ‘Sargon of Akkad’s video where he made that announcement – go to 24’40 (strong language warning!):
That most vital freedom, vital for Democracy, vital for our county, must be defended. That is now one of UKIP’s main aims. All who’ve watched and participated in the Free Speech Rallies where Gerard made his stand for Tommy Robinson ought to understand now why he did so.
Standing for Tommy was and is a stand for Free Speech.
I hope certain Kippers finally ‘get’ that! And I hope they finally ‘get’ that Gerard, who has pointed out again and again to all the various movements that we can only change things if we win the votes, win at the ballot boxes, was right to make that stand.
I hope that they ‘get’ that we cannot hope to achieve Brexit without winning at the ballot box – and that such pressing issues like pedophile rape gangs or halal slaughter cannot be dealt with as long as we are in the EU, as long as we are and remain a vassal state of Brussels. As we all know, or should know by now – our despicable ‘hate speech’ legislation came straight from the EU. Therefore – connect the dots:
No Free Speech – No talk about Brexit – No talk about islam gang rapes – transgress and you go to prison.
When Tommy said that there would be a point in the near future where the mood of the country would change – how right he was. He is paying for this by being dragged into prison, his life under threat. But he knows which politicians have stood up for him in public. Watch this video, where a letter Tommy wrote just before he was transferred:
Tommy names Geert Wilders, Lord Pearson, former leader of UKIP, HoL, whose letter, Tommy believes saved his life in Hull Prison, and Gerard Batten, Leader of UKIP. As I said – connect the dots.
The Bard said:
“There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.” (Wm Shakespeare, Julius Caesar)
That tide is here.
Great article Viv. Exciting times. I notice that only Russia Today (RT) is even remotely covering this.
Denying membership to former members of the National Front, BNP and EDL were rules of their time. The fear was they would be used to discredit UKIP. That fear is out of date.
There are several million people who do not vote in parliamentary elections. For them there is no point. Many such people appeared to be present at the Free Tommy rallies. Politically unguided without effective leadership they may, as a result, include some people who occasionally say things that are sub-optimal from a political point of view but they are all good people at heart who need leadership and direction. UKIP should offer that leadership and direction by encouraging them to join, not excluding them because they once joined the EDL or other fringe groups.
I hope the NEC reviews the rules about who can or cannot join.
This is an example of brand recognition, I think. It’s certainly not the recent achievements of ukip that’s the draw, it’s the brand. The brand is INSURGENCY.
Ukip will do well to avoid hubris, and to open its arms, in all humility and friendship, and with necessary apologies, to everyone it blocked or cheered to see leave. It had better embrace its brand and take on what might be an internal insurgency. And all the culture shock that comes along with the new members.
Thanks for clearly identifying as Chris #2
I have requested this to be put on the agenda for the most important planning meetings the party has – the one where the Regional Chairmen get together. I have a nuanced suggestion.
Stout Yeoman,
maybe, it would help us if we make two lists pro/con.
What exactly would UKIP gain ?
I believe the ” fear ” you mention is in no way out of date.
We are polling around 1.8%. How would increasing our membership affect that? What exactly is left to fear?
While member vetting isn’t my remit, I welcome all of them into UKIP and view this as positive. :–)
To any sticks-in-the-mud – we’re a broad church in UKIP. I’m certain I disagree with some of them on some things, and agree with them on many. The “60-40” rule applies – as long as we agree on 60%, vive la difference.
Accepting them as rank and file members is absolutely not an agreement with absolutely everything they may believe or have stood for. Just like with other members.
We’re a tolerant bunch in UKIP. And, moroever, we thrive on free speech. If someone has a view with which I disagree, I’d want to debate him or her, not muzzle, block or silence him or her (except in the most extreme cases, which don’t apply here at all).
You muzzle that which you’re afraid of. I’m not afraid of opposing views – I welcome them. And many I know in UKIP have the same approach. And if the other person convinces me I’m wrong, I’ll happily and readily concede.
So, I welcome them. And one of the trio is in my patch.
This is fantastic news.
Now, with the arrival of fresh reinforcements, it’s time for UKIP to take the battle for Britain to the next level.
Together we can win.
Will Gerard Batten now be unblocking Paul Joseph Watson from his Twitter page? That’s a question Mr Watson would like answering.

I suggest PJW tries again a little later.
Reading that twitter thread, may I say – for the avoidance of doubt – if “Libertarian Party”, “Democrats and Veterans” and “For Britain” members and leaders do not come back into the UKIP fold, it won’t be for want of UKIP – *me* – trying.
People must put aside egos, and not repeat the classic blunders of the left with splitting the vote.
I was always overjoyed to see, under FPTP over which we had no choice, multiple “diverse” flavours of socialist worker, Trot, Commie, common or garden Labour, etc.
Your phraseology, ‘back to the fold’, is soooo reminiscent of one D.Cameron trying to entice UKIP back to the Tory party.
But this is different, right?
I’m neither David Cameron nor someone who described leavers as “fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists”.
Instead, I tried to understand – successfully – the frustrations that led them to leave.
I’m also on OK terms (don’t know each other well enough to be other) with the leader of one of the three splinters, very good terms with the leader and deputy leader of a second, and on absolutely *excellent-plus-plus* terms with the leader of the third – someone who got my vote in the last UKIP leadership election.
So yes, this is different, right.
Any other questions?
Thank you for explaining yourself so well Freddy, you sure do know how to do so with succinct elegance.
Myself, I shall carry on supporting For Britain with renewed vigour, if you care to read some of my recent posts on UKIPD it will be very clear to you why.
See, UKIP’s leading officers are only pretending to hate Islam and sympathise with people from proscribed organisations, in a transparent attempt to win back some support from ordinary people. The second the msm start tearing hard into UKIP again, the party will fudge and back down. Anne Marie isn’t afraid of the media which is why ordinary people are steadily warming to her. And just look at the fuss Antifa went to to stop her even turning up at Lewisham hustings – talk about power, they’re not afraid of UKIP are they? It was all about her party. There, I’ve saved you the trouble of looking up all my old posts.
By the time UKIP sorts itself out, I’ll be dead. Life’s too short mate.
When it comes to splitting the vote – well, I can only apologise.
Note, despite your determined party leader putting in a lot of effort, and your whole party putting in a lot of effort, in the barren wasteland of Lewisham East – where so many believe screaming or waving knives (after all, Khan and Dick are basically on the same side, right?) is what democracy is about – UKIP got more votes than:
* For Britain
* Democrats and Veterans
and
* Libertarians
all aggregated together…
Aren’t the electorate sending a message?
AMW should put aside pride and hubris.
We’ve thrown into the dustbin all of her strong detractors.
It isn’t “all about Anne Marie” (or “all about Nigel”).
Please.
We all need to get on the same side because the country is lost to the Common Purpose globalists, and eventually to Islam, if we don’t. Which banner it is done under doesn’t particularly matter, but we will all go down separately if we don’t.
As Anne Marie Waters’ supporter Meganne121 tweeted when she left UKIP to join For Britain, (I paraphrase), “I will support whichever party looks most likely to stop the Islamisation of the UK”. That clearly wasn’t UKIP at the time. Prominent UKIPpers such as Nigel Farage, Mike Hookem and David Coburn have been voluble in dismissing AMW and Tommy Robinson as far right racists. Farage and Hookem did not appear alongside Gerard Batten at the recent London rally. David Coburn managed to speak without actually mentioning Tommy Robinson.
Overall it is a bit difficult to expect everyone to rally around UKIP supporting Tommy Robinson when the object of that support is still banned for life from joining the party. UKIP membership form: “I am not and have never been a member of the British National Party, National Front, British Freedom Party, British People’s Party, English Defence League, Britain First or the UK First Party.”
The odd thing is that Tommy Robinson said he was voting UKIP at the time of the local elections on his Facebook page,I for one would hope that at least some of his supporters would take that as a hint to vote UKIP. Also just look at his site on Facebook and look at the numbers of “ likes” he has….over 700,000 ……if UKIP could only get 10% of those to join up,think of the boost it would give…..it is one of my bugbears that is that UKIP has not used the Facebook sites of all branches to put its news/ manifesto etc on…..yet again just look at the number of followers of branches and it hopefully add another boost
From limited sampling I’ve done on the Freedom March and then on the second of the free Tommy events, I guess that most Tommy Robinson supporters don’t vote at all. 🙁
As to online – some followers aren’t supporters. They follow for other reasons.
And that Freddy is why both For Britain and UKIP are essential. The one can better attract and mobilise non-voters, who say it’s a waste of time but will make their presence felt in other ways, and the other the other the more conventionally political people who are willing to do the more regular things. Neither can mobilise the other side’s army.
As Gerard Batten points out in every speech you need votes to change things or it won’t happen. But that too readily dismisses the value of the other approach which is symbiotic.
Ah what a time to be alive. `Populism’ on the rise in Europe, and for the first time Mutti on the ropes, really on the ropes. Can the previously unthinkable happen? We’ll know soon but one thing is clear, as you say, the tide is here. UKIP is indeed THE party now.
WIll we be alive to witness uber-healthy Merkel tried, convicted and executed for crimes against humanity? Together with at least a dozen others who were at the heart of the planned genocide?
Nuremberg would be a fitting venue.
The other delicious thing is that on July 1st the leadership of the EU rotates to Mr Sebastian Kurz, Chancellor of Austria … whose Home Secretary has already started deporting ‘asylum seekers’, a.k.a. economic migrants.
M Macron, after the initial splutter, seems now to try and get on better terms with the ‘orrible ‘populist’ government in Italy …
Bets are on in german as to who will leave earlier: the national football team from the world Cup or Merkel.
> who will leave earlier: the national football team from the world Cup or Merkel.
But Merkel cannot be allowed to just “leave” and fade away any more than her spiritual grandfather, the EU’s founder, Corporal Schicklgruber, would have been allowed to.
She has to pay for her foul crimes, perpetrated with malice aforethought against the peoples of Europe.
A whole flange, a cartload, a shrewdness of other EU criminals with her.
The UK will have a few to contribute too. The earlier paedophiles (e.g., Heath) have escaped justice.
Max Miller famously said that when he went so would the music hall. I see that kingpin of Bilderburg, Henry Kissinger, described as a much diminished figure when he appeared at their last scheming fest concerning crushing populism. Mutti’s time is limited too. When they go Bilderburg and the EU will be on the way out. The happy times are over for these motley entertainers.
May I wish them both a happy retirement as they watch their life’s work go phut. In Mutti’s famous words: “We can do it”.
Indeed, the list is long; maybe special courts will have to be set up to deal with them. Nuremberg Trials Mk2?
What is it about the German leaderships (for which, ultimately, the German people are partly to blame)?
In a hundred year period, they have utterly screwed up Europe (or the world) not once, not twice, but thrice!
In the “Great War”, many were culpable, but no one more so than the Huns. More soldiers died in that conflict than in any other, before or since.
WW2 was wholly their doing, with the kinderlos-kinderfrei (childless?) Kraut founder of the EU/U.S.E., Adolf Hitler, forcing the world into the war which cost more lives than any other, before or since.
And now, in the 21st century, we have the Grand Trifecta.
The contemptible, monstrous kinderlos-kinderfrei witch, the hag Mutti-killer Merkel, with malice aforethought importing the dregs of the world so as to ensure, among other things including the cultural and social demise of Europe, that any Jewish people hereabouts who her Spiritual Grandpappy, Hitler, didn’t manage to murder or drive out of the continent, have now to flee for their lives.
The asylum she has created – with the help of her familiars in the EU – has the makings of a genocidal mass slaughter that will dwarf the efforts of her illustrious Austro-Germanic predecessors.
Sickening and odious. I have devoted a great deal of my time creating online resources to refute holocaust-deniers and the like. Now, we’ve handed over Europe to them, thanks to the disgusting Merkel.
And I’m not telling you what I *really* think…
I love the way the main political parties backed up the media have made populism to be a bad thing. Of coarse if one of those parties got an overwhelming election victory they would be popular and it would be OK. But of coarse populism is made to be be bad because it offers the voting public a radical alternative to the bland status quo. The referendum just showed the political elite and the establishment what the bulk of the population thought as it was the first time in 30 odd years where the public were given a real choice,the Westminster bubble did not like the result and are fighting tooth and nail to delay,subvert or stop it.
