UKIP-Lies and Hypocrisy.

There comes a time when enough is enough. I came home today to find the UKIP EU election leaflet behind the door. In these days of sleaze and excess by politicians it was as bad as they come. It stated:

"UKIP CANDIDATES ARE REAL PEOPLE, NOT CAREER POLITICIANS!"

Their lead candidate was a Tory until after the 2004 Euro elections, then he saw a chance. He has been a student for many years, only putting his PhD studies on hold to become a UKIP/Independence and Democracy Group researcher in the European Parliament. His 'work' as a lecturer was part of his PhD studies. Hardly a brickie or a postie.

Has he done any other work? Not that I know of, and I have known him since he joined UKIP in 2004.

No 2 candidate Michael McManus is described in the UKIP leaflet as "a former charity fundraiser". Well Michael, you certainly worked as a researcher for the Directory of Social Change in Liverpool briefly after your studies, but how much money did you raise? And who for? As far as I'm aware the DoSC doesn't raise any funds.

I understood Michael worked as a "researcher" for the Directory of Social Change in Liverpool. Before, guess what? Yes, he became a researcher for the UKIP/Independence and Democracy Group in the European Parliament. Hardly a brickie or a postie.

But then again, MEPs are worthless costly parasites. Politicos go from school to university, to Westminster/Brussels gravy train. They are all sponging parasites-unless they are UKIP.

Then that's different!

Paul Nuttall, the number 1 candidate you mention was a YTS footballer with Tranmere until an injury forced him out of the game, he then went into academe where he was lecturing at Liverpool Moores on history. He then came to work with us Brussels.
Michael MacManus was indeed a charity fundraiser, before volunteering to work as an intern.
Elsewhere you will find farmers, doctors, posties, cooks, policemen, accountants, traders, shopkeepers and so on. I challenge you to find such a diverse range of backgrounds in any party.

Thank you Gawain, for verifying my post about Paul Nuttall and Michael McManus.

I think you will find that the Directory of Social Change does absolutely no fundraising.
