UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

I should think so.

"The Ukip party chairman in Thanet South has said he “obviously regrets" his time as a member of the far-right National Front (NF) party in an interview.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage is standing as an MP in Thanet South in the 2015 general Election, a constituency currently held by Conservative MP Laura Sandys.

Martyn Heale, who has been a member of Ukip for over a decade, joined the NF in the 1970s for over a year."


Indy.

1 year membership about 30+ years ago?

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

is there anything left to scrape from the bottom of this barrel ?

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

My my we are becoming touchy.;)

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

there's probably more mileage in what i did in the 70s ;)

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Plenty I'm sure you'll find.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Peter Mandelson
There are likely to be others, especially ones that support the IRA and other terrorists.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

In UKIP?

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

The same party as Peter Mandelson.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Oh, right. Sorry, this thread is about a UKIP member, not labour.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

It's a bottomless barrel where UKIP is concerned...

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

And ignoring dubious associations of others, how convenient. You can't go around criticising people from one party, when people from another party have even worse associations.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Yeah but point is.

It's a bit .........meh.

Are we all supposed to recoil in horror at this revelation?

Man has a past shock!

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Worse in your opinion, imo I'd much prefer a far left wing workers party to a far right wing nationalist party any day

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Communists against Nazis, who wins?

Well I do believe the, far left wins. Communist regimes have killed at least 100 million.

Nazis, and I'll include Islamic extremists in that, still way fewer.

So to go with your favourite, your chances of being dead, increase.

Good job I'm blonde 6 ft with blue eyes.

I don't think nazis, stalinism and maoism are fair reflections of either ideology and I couldn't envisage any of those three being carried out in their extremities in this country

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

I'm not ignoring anything, nor have I personally criticised anyone.

Feel free to start your own thread criticising the dubious associations of individuals from other parties should you feel inclined to do so.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

That's the problem though isn't it, Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korea. No country properly adopts the communist model. There are still an elite ruling class.

Even in " our" society, you get the champagne socialists of the Labour Party, that have NOTHING in common with the working man.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

You'd hope that there are enough workers in the party or their union ties to keep the champagne socialists in check though or at least a bit in touch, anyway not to derail the thread further...

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

I'm sure most people do things they regret later in life, not really sure what makes this special.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Yup, and I bet some of our leading politicians have done the most awful, duplicitous and hypocritical things which they don't regret at all - apart from being caught out that is...

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

That's not a nice thing to say about St Nigel.... ;)

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Maybe a 'comparative saint' is all some folks require. ;) Of course power tends to corrupt and we all know what absolute power does so let's hope he never acquires that.

Re: UKip chairman regrets earlier membership of NF.
 

Like Nigel being a banker for instance, that sort of thing
