We have TRIED to link as much as possible to help YOU discover & Verify THE FACTS for yourself.
GENUINE PATRIOTS & SUPPORTERS OF UKIP WHO WISH TO SEE IT CLEANED-UP & MADE FIT FOR PURPOSE MAY WELL FIND www.UKIP-vs-euKIP.COM OF HELP & ASSISTANCE.
All we can do is provide access to the documents and Facts - also highlight EVIDENCE brought to our attention by a network of UKIP Supporters, who desperately want to see the Party CLEANED-UP, by having corrupt & untrustworthy self seeking parasites like Douglas Denny, Mick McGough, Marta Andreasen, David Bannerman, Mark Croucher, Gawain Towler, Stuart Agnew, Annabell Fuller and similar damaging individuals removed from befouling UKIP.
UKIP CAN NOT expect to be electable to a British Public for as long as it keeps liars, cheats and parasites on its staff and management and associates and supports racist, xenophobes, anti Jewish & violent anti homosexual 'chums' in The UKIP EFD Group - Currently taking a further lurch to extremism to maintain its numbers, by courting extremist Austrian politicians - hence less than 30 seats out of 19,500 available in Britain are UKIP seats - after 18 years!
What is and where can ANYONE find UKIP's Vision, Strategy, Tactics?
After 18 Years UKIP has zero Exit & Survival Strategy for these United Kingdoms.
UKIP seemingly seeks only personal gain for a small claque, forgetting to educate the peoples how Britain will be Better Off Out - We all know what is BAD about The EU and endless as it is why not act like Patriots & explain what is BETTER OUT!
The EU an Evil Union
These United Kingdoms are now, largely against the will of the informed peoples and by the betrayal of our own Politicians and Snivil Cervants a satellite state of the Greater European Empire, broken into emasculated Regions under a Common Purpose, ruled by a corrupt post democratic unelected Dictator Committee of a supra National supreme government in Brussels. We owe this undemocratic malign self serving foreign and very allien government neither loyalty nor obedience. It is not lawfully our government. It is theirs. It is our enemy and part of the greater enemy The New World Order.
#0326* - UKIP's Most Embarrassing MEP? Well NO But Bad Enough! .

Is Marta ANDREASEN UKIP's Most Embarrassing MEP?
Well NO But Bad Enough! Here she asks The £12Million Question!
Sadly she lacks any credibility as her record shows CLICK HERE!
Since the 2009 European Election I’ve kept an eye and an ear open for what MEP Marta Andreasen will do in UKIP’s delegation. Today I seem to have my answer – she’s willing to be just as stupid and poisonous as the rest of them.
The issue at stake is a complex one. As The Parliament reports, the European Commission breached the copyright of machine translation software made by Systran SA, and was – rightly – sued for copyright breaches. Budgets Committee of the EP has just voted to approve the €12 million damages payment, with only one MEP – Andreasen – voting against paying the damages.
If the ball were in the other court – that Andreasen were an accountant for Systran, or the firm were based in the south east of the UK rather than France – you would bet she would be kicking up all kinds of fuss about this, demanding the EU treats companies fairly.
The issue is of course an enormous cock up, and embarrassing to the Commission. But to get to the bottom of where the problem really lies would require time and effort, and cooperation with Commission staff. And we know where that ended up last time she tried.
So well done Marta. Make a populist and impractical statement, poisonous in nature. Suppose it was inevitable, you’re a UKIP MEP after all.

perhaps you can explain why you seemingly misled us with your extract when Marta Andreasen is quoted as saying:
“The commission should hang its head in shame.
“They are burdening EU taxpayers with €12m because of gross ineptitude. What’s more they are using shotgun tactics on the committee by threatening that the European court judgment is irrevocable and late payment would carry interest charges.
“Not content with trying to regulate every aspect of our lives, the commission and parliament now want the general public to pay for their multi-million cock-ups. This is an absolute disgrace.”
It was £200Million the other day for dishonest imposition of EU diktat in direct opposition to the WTO over banana curvature!
Just what use IS the EU?
At a cost of £48Million a day I would state there is no justification for the damage it does and the total lack of meaningfull democracy.
Their arrogance and hubris repeatedly leaves the tax payers unfortunate enough to live in the vassal states paying for EU corruption and incompetence.
May I ask why I am expected to pay for MEPs, staff and families to have hair removal, breast reductions and viagra when they fail to pay for cancer drugs for all who need them?

PS – I make no brief for the Spanish MEP Marta Andreasen and am glad to distance myself as British from the woman who is a liar, a cheat and indubitably dishonest.
More weasel than whistle blower!

I wonder how long it would take The French Company 'SYSTRAN' to earn a profit of £12,000,000 and how The EU Courts can have arrived at this figure!
Since in brief it would seem that the Capital Stock value of the Company is claimed to be €13M and the share value thereof is quoted at €11M - or so it would seem from
You may confirm my perception of this, alternately read the PDF above or the web site at CLICK HERE
This would tend to indicate to me a profligate and irresponsible concern for my money on a par with the bribes offered for enlargement of The EU or the supply of Viagra for enlargement!
€12M compensation seems generous relative to the value of the organisation and what was their net profit and at £59 a box they would need to supply rather more than seems likely to make a €12M profit by legitimate trade!
Might it not be a good investment of my money to buy the company - grant the relevant licenses and then on sell it with a caveat of commitment to honour the new licenses granted!!

UKIP Members Must Wonder If David BANANAMAN (Bannerman) Has Lost The Plot! The Gravitas of his representation of UKIP's Racist EFD Chums has no relevance to Leave-The-EU! The terms on which he was Dishonestly PUT in position!
.

Hi,
It is good to see EFD Members addressing the weighty matters of The EU as ever - here, in keeping with UKIP policy UKIP field David Bananaman as the comedic turn for the day - another opportunity wasted as he fails to give consideration to any British aspect.
Presumably because, having been called as a Pan EU EFD Political Group spokesman he must consider the racism, anti Judaism, Holocaust deial and violent sexual intollerance of the Group he represents so he had best stick to his specialist subject as the EU Parliament clown.
Frankly WHO CARES - what relevance does this have top ensuring these United Kingdoms Leave-The-EU but it would seem UKIP lost sight of that aim and now almost 18 years later they still have absolutely no Exit and Survival Plan!
For the record I am sure you would wish to read the regulation so that you, like David Bananaman (makes a change from dressing up as a chicken!), can ensure YOUR banana meets with the regulations!

YES there really are people wasting YOUR money inventing ‘stuff’ like this – in fact they write similar regulations on every subject imaginable. The aim would seem, quite obviously, to provide jobs for cronies within the EU’s bureaucracy at the expense of freedom, choice and entrepreneurial spirit.
So far the regulations in the English language alone run to 186,000 pages!! Interpretation of these regulations provides endless work for useless lawyers, apparatchiks and the like ensuring the demise of more and more real industries and more and more jobs.
To NO GAIN the bureaucracy of the EU grows almost exponentially and yet it is now many years since they were able to have their accounts signed off by THEIR OWN auditors. 4 – 6 Billion Pounds go missing within the EU’s administration every single year like clockwork – despite their insistence on tighter and tighter administration of people who do real work to earn the taxes the EU squanders.
EUOBSERVER / BRUSSELS -
The European Parliament on Thursday (3 February) approved a tariff deal between the EU and Latin American banana producers, marking the end of a 16-year long trade war. MEPs also urged the bloc to boost its compensation aid to the 10 former European colonies in Africa and the Caribbean (ACP) which stand to lose from the deal.

Under the new accord, the EU is set to lower import tariffs on bananas from Latin American countries from €176 per tonne to €114 in 2017, narrowing somewhat the gap with producers from former EU colonies, who are currently exempt from paying tariffs.
In parallel, the bloc is expected to boost its aid to the 10 ACP states - Belize, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname.
The countries are getting €200 million in aid in the 2010 to 2014 period. But MEPs want this to be topped up and extended to 2020 to help them to diversify their economies.
French Green MEP Catherine Greze, who had voted against the deal, said that the agreement was a "blow to developing countries and small banana producers" that will benefit big fruit exporters such as US giant Chiquita.
Banana producers from the EU's overseas territories in the Canary Islands, Guadeloupe, Madeira and Martinique also slammed the EU deal.
"We regret that the end of hostilities, which was the main advantage meant to result from the Geneva agreement on bananas, has been challenged by new concessions that are unjustified and benefit only the multinationals," the Association of European Banana Producers (APEB), representing 15,000 small farmers, said in a statement.
The Geneva agreement - a WTO-sponsored deal in 2009 between the US, the EU and Latin American banana-producing states - ended a 16-year-long international trade dispute and latest paved the way for the latest EU agreement.
In the meantime, some Latino producers, such as Colombia and Peru, have negotiated tariffs well below the €114 line with individual EU countries on a bilateral basis. Brazil is angling for 200,000 tonnes' worth of zero tariff bananas. But, others, like Ecuador and Guatemala, had held out for the EU-wide deal, complicating the picture, and breeding resentment.
"Contrary to what the EU Commission claims, the Geneva agreement doesn't put an end to the banana war" the APEB producers noted.
The EU is the world's largest banana market and more then 70 percent of the yellow fruit sold in the EU comes from Latin America - mainly Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama.
Around 20 percent of bananas originate in former colonies Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, the Dominican Republic, Belize and Surinam. The rest are grown on EU territories: Cyprus, Greece, Madeira, Canary Islands and French overseas departments of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
The "banana trade war" began in 1993 when the EU established a preferential policy for imports from former British and French colonies, but earlier tensions date back as far as the 1970s.
The importance of the banana trade in Latin American history is clear to see in Guatemala. A 1954 coup d'etat in the country - broadly supported by the United Fruit Company (nowadays known as Chiquita) - plunged it into a 40-year period of dictatorships and civil war, costing the lives of over 200,000 citizens.
Since the 2009 European Election I’ve kept an eye and an ear open for what MEP Marta Andreasen will do in UKIP’s delegation. Today I seem to have my answer – she’s willing to be just as stupid and poisonous as the rest of them.
