Leicester UKIPper joins extremist Respect Party


The Secretary of UKIP's Leicester branch has resigned and joined the Respect Party, claiming it is because of a racist party member.


Ismail Patel, who joined UKIP a year ago, said that he received racist messages on Facebook from someone who he believed to be a UKIP member. He claims that the party didn't do anything about it so he joined Respect.

UKIP's national press officer, Gawain Towler, said that he had offered to go to Leicester so that Patel could show him the messages as he had blocked the sender and the party was unable to identify the sender. Patel left the party instead of co-operating.

Patel said that he bit his tongue about "a bit of petty racism" he encountered when he joined the party because he "agreed with a lot of the things UKIP stands for". One has to wonder what it was he agreed with having left a right of centre, eurosceptic, monocultural party for an extreme left wing, europhile, Islamic party. Anyone would think there was an alternative agenda at play here ...

There are two things that strike me about this. One is that it's a transparently obvious setup to smear UKIP. The second is that it's so laughably inept it's exactly what you'd expect from a particularly clueless sort of Muslim chancer. And now we learn this guy's a member of the UAF. Figures, they're all as stupid as each other. UKIP should get the police involved and have them investigate this guy's Facebook account. Then we'll see if he's telling the truth. Then again, I think we already know the answer to that.

UKIP could get clear of these racist smears if it focused on racism of the second kind: Internationalist Racism. See http://tinyurl.com/nctqauw

He is now naming and shaming branch members on his Facebook page, although not at all clear what they have done wrong, other than not like him but his arrogance would be enough for many. He so far done alot of talking but not given much substance. If he has it he put it out there, it is getting boring waiting for him to actually release something mildly interesting.

There is not much UKIP can do about such a publicity stunt.

We have and open membership so we are sitting targets for such tricks.

UKIP and Respect dont have anything in common so it makes no sense other than a stunt.

UKIP is centrally about leaving the European Union.

Does he support UKIP this issue. Or has he changed his mind and gone Pro EU.

To avoid such a thing happening again would mean turning away many potentialy members.

We cannot really afford to turn loads of people away, just in case one is a con man like this man.
