UKIP ASSAULT SCANDAL SIGNALS MELTDOWN

Ex-UKIP North West regional organiser has been convicted of assault after punching a pensioner in the face during a row on the EU referendum campaign trail.

This latest disgraceful incident adds to the woes the troubled party.

John Stanyer, from Wigton, Cumbria, was ordered by the judge to pay a £500 fine, £200 in compensation and £85 in costs.

The spat began after the pensioner, a local Labour and Remain campaigner, knocked “Leave” leaflets off a stall that Stanyer was on.

Stayer responded by attacking the pensioner.

It is an assault which serves to highlight the crumbling discipline, desperation and veiled thuggery of the anti-EU party.

It’s the latest incident in a spate of problems for a troubled UKIP.

Nathan Gill, UKIP MEP and Welsh Assembly Member, is causing ongoing embarrassment for UKIP in refusing to give up one of his positions in accordance with the rules and is currently being investigated by EU anti-fraud watchdog, OLAF.

UKIP’s National Executive is also embroiled in a bitter split with supporters of Steven Woolfe over his rejected leadership candidacy.

Mr Woolfe, earlier this month, also admitted that he failed to declare a criminal conviction for drink driving when he stood for election as a Police & Crime Commissioner in 2012.

Paul Nuttall, current Deputy of UKIP, has been desperately trying to calm angry, squabbling UKIP activists with little success.

So dire is the situation, that Mr Nuttall has even admitted to the Daily Express that he fears for UKIP’s very existence.

With UKIP’s founding aim having been met with the Brexit vote, it’s clearly struggling to find any justification for its ongoing existence.

With the Brexit vote, the anti-Immigration BNP achieved its 30-year goal of getting Britain Out of the EU.

Now our campaign is being stepped up to save our country from Islamisation and put a stop once and for all, to the politicians’ disastrous, failed Immigration policy.
