My (tongue in cheeck) letter to Nigel Farage

Dear Mr. Farage

Whilst I like many others deplore Theresa May's bare faced sell out of the result of the Brexit Referendum and would applaud your taking over the reins of leadership of UKIP once again, I am bemused by the prescription of thousands - probably tens of thousands of British  Patriots from being allowed to join UKIP.

I refer of course to the now notorious prohibition of membership clause in the UKIP membership application form:

"

By applying for membership of UKIP, I agree: *
To abide by the UKIP Constitution and the Terms and Conditions of Membership (available here).
I am not and have never been a member of the British National Party, National Front, British Freedom Party, British People's Party, English Defence League, Britain First or the UK First Party.
UKIP reserves the right to reject applications or terminate memberships if these criteria are not met."

Considering the myriads of British Patriots who have voted and supported UKIP in the past, this blanket prescription is presumably to stop 'racists' and 'fascists ' from joining UKIP.

I was a member of the National Front when I was just 17 years old as were many of my young pals.

Are we now for this 'transgression ' - motivated by our British Nationalism to be damned for eternity in UKIPs eyes?

Considering the old quote from that former left-wing line-up, Jane Fonda at the time of the Vietnam war "Anyone who doesn't support the Viet Cong is a fascist", this would have included 100% of UKIPs current membership including your own!

No matter what UKIP do or deny, they will be labelled 'Nazi', 'Racist' and the rest of the meaninglessness quack-speak of the far Left whatever the composition of the UKIP membership.

Nor will it save UKIP from the physical violence of the street thugs of Antifa who will target UKIP members and meetings. 

The Antifa "Smash UKIP" stickers have long been in evidence in my town of Leeds.

Thanking you for your kind attention in reading this.
