The United Kingdom Independence Party will hopefully go down in political history as the party that did a great deal to start the fight that regained Britain’s independence from the oppressive European Union. I say I hope that this will be the case, because it’s not that certain that UKIP under leader Paul Nuttall will be able to ensure that UKIP will be anything more than a footnote in the history books. Paul Nuttall seems incapable of addressing the big issues that face the country and under him and other members of the leadership, one big issue, that of Islam is being left out.
Prime evidence of this failure by the party leadership to recognise the threats posed to our society by the ideology of Islam is the de-selection of Anne Marie Waters as a candidate for the party in the forthcoming General Election. Yes, the party has made all the right ‘mouth noises’ about Shariah Law, FGM, Islamic Rape Gangs etc, but when it came to backing up these words with actions, and choosing as a candidate someone like Ms Waters who knows her stuff about Islam, the party leadership folds up. Not having Ms Waters as a candidate shows that UKIP’s concerns about some aspects of Islamic theology, culture, politics and practises are just empty words. If the party under Mr Nuttall had indeed meant what it said about the problems brought by Islam then they would have chosen someone who knows these issues intimately as a candidate. That person is Ms Waters and I predict that it will hurt UKIP electorally not choosing her.
It will also hurt UKIP at the ballot box because the electorate, the same electorate who wants to take back control of things like our economy, migration and our legal system, are also as concerned about the danger from Islam as is Ms Waters’. It horrifies me as someone who believes in democracy and freedom of speech, to see the UKIP leadership caving in to whines from various grievance mongers, left wing journalists and similar types and dumping Ms Waters. There are many people who are looking at this situation and who feel betrayed by the UKIP party leadership. They feel betrayed by the fact that the party has taken the cowardly option to run to the ‘safe space’ of political correctness instead of standing up and saying what many voters feel, which is that PC is just fascism with manners.
The party leadership ran scared of being called names such as ‘racist’ or ‘xenophobe’ and ‘Islamophobe’ by individuals and groups who would not have supported UKIP anyway. The upper echelons of UKIP have allowed a tiny group of loud lefties, grievance mongers and arrogant privileged journalists to dictate party policy and worryingly, who should stand to represent the party in constituency seats. The ‘metro-left’ and the mainstream media screamed that the party was using ‘bad words’ and the party meekly obeyed.
By caving in to those who wish us to have no discussion about the ideology of Islam the UKIP leadership has ensured that UKIP is no longer distinctive as a party. They have ensured that UKIP is now just another bland politically correct grouping no different from the other bland politically correct and often slimy and untrustworthy groupings that go by the name of the Conservative Party, the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrat Party.
We do not need any more of these ‘bland’ and ‘beige’ political parties which although favoured by the Establishment, do not do anything at all for the vast number of people who often suffer from the negative effects of ideologies that the UKIP leadership don’t want to address. My message to the UKIP leadership is this: You’ve let Ms Waters down, you’ve let the grass roots of the party down and you have let down and put off many potential voters who may have been attracted by a party that says it like it is when it comes to difficult stuff such as the ideology of Islam.
There are a number of people, including myself, who may have been very enthusiastic about voting UKIP especially in areas where UKIP posed credible challenges to Tory, Labour and Lib Dem incumbents. How enthusiastic we can be now about UKIP after this débâcle is debatable. I only know that I would have without question voted for UKIP this time round as they did OK last time but now, after the way they’ve shown such abject cowardice on the matter of criticism of Islam, I’m not so sure.
If they’d been brave and backed Ms Waters and ignored the whines of the Islamopanderers, the grievance mongers, those who have vested interests in the status quo and the diversity Establishment, then the party could have been a contender. People may have flocked to a party that was honest and said that ‘yes Islam is a problem which we need to sort out’. Now, with such a cowardly display of willingness to abandon their own electorate and potential electorate, they look like they could end up washed up. UKIP has shot itself in the head and the weapon was held, the round was chambered and the trigger was pulled, by Paul Nuttall and the rest of the weak and cowardly leadership of UKIP.
