There may be trouble ahead......

Trouble within UKIP that is.

Farage "resigns". Other members of UKIP have their eyes on the job of leader.

THEN, the ruling board refuse to accept his resignation. The only UKIP MP, Douglas Carswell has repeatedly refused to endorse Farage as leader again and when asked multiple times if he'd quit UKIP to become an Independent he said "No comment".

Suzanne Evans had been tipped to replace Farage and on the news that Farage would take up leadership again said "It's exactly what I expected hence I played down my appointment."

It didn't take long did it? Farage, the life and soul of the local boozer has made UKIP a laughing stock with his antics and some of the hierachy seem ready to tear the party apart.

I wonder what the UKIP voters think of that lot?

Goodness me, seems like the knives are out all round?:-

Quoting from the above link:-

Former UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom, described Mr Farage as "an autocratic general" who would not stand any criticism.

"Watching Suzanne Evans, it was bit like watching a 1938 politburo member criticising Joe Stalin," Mr Bloom, a former flatmate of Nigel Farage's who quit the party in 2013 after falling out with him, said.

"I don't know where she thought she was going with that. I know you chaps seem to buy this 'good old Nigel' with a pint image but believe me he's nothing like that. He's a very ruthless operator and even a hint of criticism from anybody and you have your membership card chopped up and that's how it's been for many years."

He added: "There's this terrible dichotomy we now have in UKIP: that is that they have a party leader who is extremely popular with the membership - and the strength of the party is with hardworking dedicated activists - and a party leader who sadly is unelectable."

"It is a rather autocratic organisation and you can get away with that when you're winning. Had he won his seat and had UKIP won some seats in Westminster you can get away with it, but it's very difficult to be an autocratic general when you're losing battles."

Good old Nigel with a pint certainly fits the much photographed image of Farage?

Well it's a long time since we had a 'Night of the Long Knives'. I think the last time was when poor old Margaret Hilda was ousted. I don't however think that will happen to Nigel. (Confirmation below).

'He's a very ruthless operator and even a hint of criticism from anybody and you have your membership card chopped up and that's how it's been for many years'."

Good old Nigel. Doesn't suffer fools gladly. Hack out the dead wood.

Apparently, Evans has now been "unsacked":

UKIP = More U-turns than a dodgy plumber.

Very strange? I don't recall any mention of "bumping" when this very old thread was resurrected?:-

Your above post does not compute. *insert confused smiley here*

However since you mention 'jail', half of the Houses of Parliament should be incarcerated.
