It is increasingly evident that the true purpose of the BBC/State promoted United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), as an establishment “safety valve”, is becoming apparent far beyond the membership of the British National Party. Today Dorset BNP has been provided with a copy of the resignation letter, signed by the committee and leading members of UKIP’s West Dorset branch – reckoned to be one of that party’s most professionally run branches in the country. The letter of mass resignation, addressed to UKIP’s Dr. Whittaker is reproduced in an abridged form below.

It is hoped that the good people who formerly comprised this hardworking-branch will continue their fight to free Britain from the EU by joining the British National Party - Britain’s longest campaigning nationally organised anti-EU political party.

The abridged resignation letter reads:

It is with deep regret, and a lot of heartsearching, that the undermentioned members of the UK Independence Party, West Dorset Constituency Association committee, tender their resignations.

In the 2004 EU Elections, UKIP came second in West Dorset, elected two MEPs, and beat the Lib/Dems into third place. We felt we were on a roll. Our moment had come when the United Kingdom was waking up. We then had to put up with the ignominy of watching our leaders scrapping with Robert Kilroy Silk in public, resulting in many good party workers leaving UKIP and following RKS into Veritas. That, we feel, was the beginning of the end.

Our leaders squandered the goodwill that members of the party had worked hard to build up during the Euro Election. They did nothing to take the party forward, and we were left rudderless at the one time in the party’s existence when it could have become a serious contender for Westminster.

The MEPs have secured for themselves lucrative jobs, but what has happened to the cash they were going to inject into the Party? Instead, UKIP is relying on money from the very Commission we are supposed to despise and want to destroy. We would remind these MEPs that the public voted for the Party, not for them personally.

The leadership campaign was a disgrace. Lies and scurrilous accusations were made. These were not counteracted by the leadership, and now it is over, there have been no apologies and no offers of the hand of friendship. The questions about the Ashford Call centre have not been answered, and the new Treasurer has stated that he won’t be looking at the accounts prior to his takeover.

We can see no valid reason to work for a Party that is obviously not going to achieve anything we want, and does not offer the voters a true opposition to the three main parties.
