IMPORTANT UPDATE!
WE HAVE BEEN ASKED BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE UKIP BATH NORTH EAST SOMERSET BRANCH, PHIL EVANS, VIA THEIR CHAIRMAN STEVE GRIMES, TO REMOVE THE VIDEO FOR LEGAL REASONS, AS REQUESTED BY THE POLICE:
“The Police have just spoken to me as of a few minutes ago.
An ‘individual’ has handed himself in to them.
Therefore – they want all the social media – video and photos – taken down immediately.”
We are complying with this request – the relevant photos have been removed.
If you haven’t yet read the report on the left vandalism at the Action Day of the UKIP Bath and North East Somerset Branch in Bath on Saturday 29th September 2018, you can do so here.
We have received photos of the stand, showing the atmosphere of that Action Day. The photographer is Lucian Aeris who has given us his kind permission to publish these photos:
Here are photos of the truck as it was before it got defaced:
Here is the defaced truck:
— the photos of the defacing in progress placed here have been removed as requested (see above) —
Why some thought they needed to protest against the Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg in front of the UKIP stand will be their secret:
– this photo has also been removed because one of the ‘disturbers’ can bee seen.
UKIP Bath and North-East Somerset posted their report on their website – go and read it, there’s information (links, phone nubmers) of waht you can do to help the police. The damage, estimated by Branch Secretary Steve Grimes, is about £1,000. Here are some more detailed photos of the lefty vandal defacing the truck:
— photo removed as requested by the police —
The Police is having a word:
— photo removed as requested by the police —
Close-up of the ‘activist’ who defaced the truck poster and caused the costly damage:
— photo removed as requested by the police —
The photos are still up on the Bath NES website article 😉
Doesn’t this qualify as “Hate Crime”?
Perhaps we can learn from this. My thinking is that, for a next time, we should be able to come away with something like a video, or number of raw videos that could then be stitched together so someone could produce a YouTube video of the left behaving badly.
That was the stock-in-trade of Alex Jones who was so successful at it that YouTube was ultimately forced to ban him from their platform.. The ultimate, if pyric, accolade.
Although how to do this well is way above my pay grade I do know from watching countless videos of this kind for entertainment that doing it successfully is internet gold and could potentially get us coverage we could otherwise only dream of.
At the very least it might, in the future, discourage those who feel the need to do this kind of thing, whether they be enthusiastic amateurs or trained professionals.
That ‘officer’ is not a police officer, but a police employee wearing a uniform. PCSO’s have no place in public order situations and little power or authority to do anymore than anyone else.
Make a complaint of criminal damage, to the police. Verbal abuse of anyone can also constitute behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace which is part of the Public Order Act.
The PCSO’s have a tough time Sir. They have less power than ‘hobby bobby’ Specials yet get all the flak.
This is the problem with ‘cops on the cheap’ . I respect our hard-pressed PCSO’s ( my local one is lovely) but they are no alternative to a proper copper !
The problem ( inside and outside London) is that Theresa May – who has a real issue with the Police- cut the basic wage by 5k and then FROZE their wages for 8 years whilst making 20000 of them redundant.
How can anyone with a hole in their ar*e not see this as a major contributory factor for the stab-fest that is London and elsewhere ? ( don’t dare blame Mayor Khan… Despite his faults this is NOT his fault )
WE … That is UKIP… need a strong policy on this. As usual I see nowt.
Better axe our own ‘leader ‘ soon. Too much bulls**t regarding Islam, not enough bloody reality regarding the real world.
Mr Bav
May didn’t divert 900 policemen from front line to “investigate” online hate crimes, Khan did whilst bleating about May’s cuts. May didn’t encourage or order the police to start recording and “investigate” non-crime hate incidents. They are both useless along with many others, Common Purpose anyone?
Opposition to Islam is not BS it is vital and I think that if Gerard is axed, UKIP will cease to exist shortly afterwards.
Thank you and I couldn’t have put it better myself. I have paid fees to become a member of a political party for the first time in my life and that is due to Gerard. Khan has been an absolute disaster as Mayor of London and has shown himself to be just as incompetent as Treason May. I believe in Gerard, I trust him and I agree with everything he put in his Manifesto. Gerard has done wonders to build this party up from nothing and if he were to leave I don’t think UKIP would survive. He has shown something rare in politics and that is common sense and yet he is not afraid to stick his neck out when he sees injustice as he did with Tommy Robinson. He has my full support.
Here we see a friendly situation, brought by UKIP. Paperwork all in order and 100% legal and in good order ! ….. Now see the opposition to UKIP ! Criminal damage, plus self appointed authority, all done to stop friendly debate ! Which of these groups do you belong to ? A wish to get National progression and good sense in this Nation, or the harpies who listen or read lies of media that support the wealthy, who themselves don’t have the guts to face UKIP ! NEVER HAVE SO MANY WORKED AGAINST THEIR OWN INTERESTS, IN OBEDIENCE TO SO FEW RICH PEOPLE ! ! ! If this is thought about, we see decent working folk, voluntarily slipping back to being the ‘Peasants’ that do the work for the rich and privileged ! Those still with a degree of brain power, should THINK ON THIS, and realise how they are being manipulated.- Those without any ability of self discernment will go on taking their orders, and not even realise that fact. POLICE STANDING in this matter is open to question !
I hope somebody reports this to the police & takes them to court for the damage plus its criminal damage,time to stop these Antife thugs.
Surely, prosecution is in order. This is criminal damage. Furthermore, it could be construed as slander and a hate crime.
Hopefully, someone will have the decency to identify the nasty little vandal and he (it) can be prosecuted for causing criminal damage. Some hopes!
