At the intersection of the far right and UKIP



Over the last week I have been exposing the role of the extreme right in local politics and on Neath Voice for Everybody Facebook group. Now I discover some fascinating links between the far right in the past of certain UKIP activists. It makes you wonder does it not? I was fascinated in the overlap between the far right past of certain UKIP activists. The following research was done last year by a cheeky blog called the Green Dragon that is sadly no longer with us. Please read and reflect...as Oscay widw says every saint has a past and every sinner a future.....

"it would now appear as if Ukip has had  serious questions to answer about some of its other list candidates? In particular Malcolm Biggs who is 4th on its list of candidates for south wales west.. they went on to drop him as a candidate but he clearly lists himself in a letter stating that ge was the Chairman of south West wales UKIP

Now we know a Malcolm J Biggs contested the Welwyn Hatfield constituency for the kippers in the 2001 british general election

And it would appear from the following dedicated elections website that it is the same Malcolm Biggshttp://electionweb.co.uk/Ind/N220161.htm
Now many people may not have heard of the New Britain Party, indeed it officially folded nearly a decade ago but readers can learn a little more about this organisation herehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Britain_Party


To call Malcolm Biggs old party 'far right' would be an understatement, the National Front in suits would probably be a fair description. Founded in 1976 it was an avowed 'white nationalist' party that supported the racist regimes in south africa and the then 'rhodesia' and one of its early leaflets stated "coloured immigration to this country must stop completely and immediately". And as recently as 2000 its leader was writing to newspapers claiming "suburb after suburb and town after town across the land have been taken over by Asians, Africans and Afro-Caribbeans".


The neo fascist organisation's wikipedia entry makes clear a number of former 'new britain' members joined the UK Independence party and Biggs was clearly among them. And it would be very interesting to know when Biggs quit the racist 'New Britain' and joined Ukip? Was he still a member when its leader Dennis Delderfield penned that deeply offensive and racially motivated letter we wonder?
But that he joined the party at all is frankly deeply troubling, as surely only an out and out racist would have joined a party like 'New Britain' in the first place? Surely Ukip managers were aware of Biggs political history? And if so how on earth could they have permitted a former active member of a nakedly racist and neo fascist party like 'New Britain' to put himself forward as a list candidate in Wales? 
It's clear today that Ukip have even more serious questions to answer about their list candidates in Wales" and indeed about their attitudes and behaviour particularly since Brexit.....

The following link shows the true nature of Paul Nuttal new UKIP Leader and candidate for Stoke on Trent read and reflect. http://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2016/11/28/the-extreme-right-wing-views-of-new-ukip-leader-paul-nuttall What is quite interesting is that many of these links do not work anymore...an editing of the past perhaps.......
