Hi,

Petrina Holdsworth was Chairman of EUkip but quit when lied to by the then leader Roger Knapman and abused by the utterly stupid deputy leader Mike Nattrass, who sadly has not improved - Roger Knapman has, he has retired!

Petrina Holdsworth was also unwilling to collude in the endenic corruption that was and sadly still is the core of EUkip's leadership.

As a trained and experienced Barrister whose husband was not only a Judge but an army Colnel her experience belies her amiable ease with management and research.

Here is an essay she has just sent me a copy of which may interest some:

Batten`s over-stepped the mark here, [G.L-W. comment: Batten under EU Parliamentary privilege accused Niel Kinnock of Treason, probably done because Batten doesn't quite understand what 'treason' was under law, nor the fact that it is no longer a crime on the stature books!!] it`s not treason but it`s clearly treacherous conduct.

The Welsh Windbag was and probably is a strong supporter of the communists .

Here is an extract from an article in the Mail a while ago on our glorious Socialist leaders, it `s very interesting ......


"In December 1984, Kinnock went to Moscow accompanied by, among others, the young Charles Clarke and Patricia Hewitt - both to become ministers in Blair's government - to see Brezhnev's successor, the senile Constantin Chernenko.

Chernenko read his brief to them and listened indifferently to Kinnock's verbose response. However, the Russian promised he would help in the Labour Party's attempts to oust Margaret Thatcher from power.

Chernyaev notes that in 1985, Kinnock again turned to Moscow for support, sending a shadow minister to the Kremlin for advice on how to topple Thatcher, who was in her second term in office.

The diarist recorded: 'We have discussed everything with him. I took it upon myself to promise him everything they wanted from us, to beat Thatcher and get to power.'

It is not just the Left's close connection with the Soviet Union, but the lasting influence of that connection that should concern us all.

One of Jack Jones's brightest proteges, after all, was Gordon Brown.

The decision to give the young Scotsman his first and only safe seat, Dunfermline East, was made by two TGWU senior officials - one of them was Jack Jones, the other the drunken Alec Kitson. Both were friends of the Kremlin.

The union's patronage was ubiquitous. Neil Kinnock and Tony Blair, as well as Cabinet ministers Margaret Beckett, Harriet Harman and John Reid, were all sponsored by TGWU and made their Labour Party careers thanks to it.

The control the Soviets had over Labour, its leadership and aspiring politicians, is still having a profound impact on Britain.

As the Spectator says: 'Indeed, New Labour, which has governed since 1997, cannot be understood unless these communist influences are taken into account.

'Many of New Labour's characteristics - its deep suspicion of outsiders, its structural hostility to democratic debate, its secrecy, its faith in bureaucracy, the embedded preference for striking deals out of the public eye, and its ruthless reliance on a small group of trusted activists, result from the lengthy detente with the Kremlin.'

Yet even with the emergence of this diary, we still do not possess a full picture of how deep the dangerous Moscow penetration really went. Only as more truths trickle out of Russia will we learn the entirety of the betrayal.

As for Harry Pollitt, the British communist who played such a vital role in the Soviet infiltration of this country - encouraging the acquiesence of those in powerful places on the Left - he is better known in Moscow, where he is proclaimed as a hero, than here.

In 1970, some years after his death, the USSR issued a postage stamp with Pollitt's picture on it.

A year later, in 1971, his devotion to the Soviet cause and to the spread of 'international communism' was further acknowledged by Moscow. The Soviet navy launched a new battleship and named it after him.

Meanwhile, his many disciples in the fifth column he created in Britain continue to exert their malign influence."

Of course The Windbag and his ilk have found a ready home amongst the"ex" commies of the EU`s upper echelons.Since last week we are all now in their power.I suspect that it will be a very nasty bumpy ride when Rumpuy and co start using their new found powers .
Your comments may well be interesting, particularly if they are reasoned and sourced.
