Character assassination of Nigel Farage by Camilla Long of the Sunday Times on 26th June 2016: "He's only making plans for Nigel", I sent the following to Letters@sunday-times.co.uk on July 2nd 2016:
For a man’s character to be so demonised by Sunday Times columnist Camilla Long, (26 June) when Nigel Farage had spent over twenty years of his working life in and out of Brussels, trying to alert our establishment to the flaws of the undemocratic EU, that has made British workers poorer (confirmed by Sigmar Gabriel, the German Economy Minister), and rendered our Parliament of MPs powerless and mere disseminators of EU regulations.
As leader of the UK Independence
Party, his manifesto had inspired many of the policies that swept the
Conservatives into government last year.
Thanks also to Nigel Farage that our Prime Minister promised to hold the
recent referendum which finally vindicated his persistence and the excellent
work of UKIP’s 24 MEPs, whose in-depth research had brought to light the
underlying weaknesses of this federal Union and its wasteful squandering of
British taxpayers’ money that should be spent on our own priorities.
Leaving the expensive Union will
bring back British rights for fishermen to fish in British waters, our farmers to
grow whichever crops suit them, and our starter enterprises and small
businesses can negotiate free-trade with countries of the Commonwealth and the rest of the developing
world without having to comply with thousands of EU rules and directives that
only big corporations with a large workforce can, and if they wish, they can continue to trade
with selected EU member-states by paying a small percentage of levy, rather than the billions of pounds being sent by our Treasury into the EU budget every year.
Far from “only making plans for Nigel,”
Mr Farage deserves his last laugh of jubilation that had come after years of self-motivation
for the country he loves, at a price not many in Camilla Long’s circle could possibly
contemplate.
Jean Romsey,
Email: jromsey@yahoo.co.ukJuly 4th 2016 - With the resignation of David Cameron as a result of the UK wining the Leave vote, five candidates now contest for position of Prime Minister: Andrea Leadsom (Leave), Michael Gove (Leave), Liam Fox (Leave), Stephen Crabb (Remain) and Theresa May (Remain) - as Home Secretary she had not been effective in keeping down immigration to the tens of thousands promised by Conservative manifesto, instead had allowed our maritime borders to be breached by 4,600 Albanians, jeopardising UK's security by terminating the £4 million contracts on aerial surveillance in advance of providing alternative border control to replace this vital service.
Sadly, I received the following letter from the Nigel Farage, which will be a big blow to our Party. In view of so many incriminating accusation from various newspapers and politicians, we respect Nigel's wish to step down from the leadership, having achieved his biggest ambition in life of getting our country back, he now deserves a rest and a bit of peace and quiet to regain his own life back to spend time with family and friends. We thank him for his hard work and tenacity and hope he will find the time to reflect on his success and rejoice in the result of his achievement.
Dear Jean,
Statement from Nigel Farage
I have decided to stand aside as Leader of UKIP. The victory for the 'Leave' side in the referendum means that my political ambition has been achieved. I came into this struggle from business because I wanted us to be a self-governing nation, not to become a career politician.
UKIP is in a good position and will continue, with my full support to attract a significant vote. Whilst we will now leave the European Union the terms of our withdrawal are unclear. If there is too much backsliding by the Government and with the Labour Party detached from many of its voters then UKIP's best days may be yet to come.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you the membership for your extraordinary support and generosity over the many years, I could not have done it without you.
Yours as ever,
Nigel Farage
Nigel Farage
