  The former UKIP leader who failed to gain a seat in parliament is to re-stand for nomination as UKIP leader despite his previous statements that he was tired and obviously still affected by the plane crash (and who wouldn't be?).

  hot off the press
  
  Former UKIP Leader Jeffrey Titford has been appointed interim leader of the Party following the resignation of Lord Pearson of Rannoch.
  
  Mr Titford, who last led the Party from 2000-2002, was asked to take the reins by the National Executive Committee at the meeting in Torquay on the eve of the annual conference.
  
  A new Party Leader will be appointed following a full-fledged election later this year

  There is already an extensive thread for UKIP, therfore no point in littering the place further.

  As a staunch left wing socialist and labour supporter nor do I give a jot but I feel it's best to know who your enemy are or maybe in the future.To be forwarned allows you to be forearmed.

  the other UKIP merely states that Vic wants to keep it going but contains no post that one can answer or comment on hence this thread.

  most of it is down to vic and his outgoing personality, saw him yesterday and he told me a great story from his time as a bingo caller.
  he asked me to post it here, i said it would be much funnier if he told it in his own style.

  I also phoned up the UKIP HQ and told them to send me the papers because I am going to stand for the leadership,it is in the Dover Express this week,but heard nothing back from them yet,Howard Yes that was avery true story at this time I am trying to get my life story to print. Also I have heard back again about my letter to the Queen and that is now in the hands of the Dover Express all 66 pages of it.

  Why do you think it's necessary to channel everything through the Dover Express? even though you claim and deny being a publicity seeker. Your actions appear to be contradictory to me

  I will miss all Vic's self publicity as I don't buy the local rags.

  Marek,I do not do it all but it is a yes to my letter to the Queen only because it is about the port ,but I did not tell them about standing for the leadership of UKIP they got that from the forum.
  
  Anyway Marek I do things my way and do not care what you think.
