EDIT: SUNDAY. You will be pleased to know that although the article in The Sunday Times seemed to have been superceded in fact it had not been - Atticus had had the wrong version loaded to the web.
The article was in the Hard Copy.
I will endeavour to obtain a copy from one of my friends at the paper during the week and I'll put it on here.
Herewith THURSDAY:
Here is the article which featured in last Sunday's Sunday Times Print Version:
Ukip's only making plans for Nigel
Do you feel the X factor has run its course?
Fear not, for an alternative source of entertainment is shaping up for the winter evenings - Strictly UKIP. A candidate for the leadership of the UK Independence Party has called on the current leader, Nigel Farage, to withdraw his resignation.
Nikki Sinclaire, MEP for the West Midlands, has written an open letter to Farage. "I cannot see the sense of an internal election, costing more than £25,000, less than six months prior to a general election," she says. "If you choose to stay on, I would not put my name forward, and would urge others to do likewise."
As a 6ft 4ins lesbian, Sinclaire would have offered a distinct change of image for UKIP, seen by some as the provisional wing of the Rotary club. But she said yesterday:
"No other MEP can match Nigel for his media skills. And even the Labour party aren't so stupid as to ditch Gordon Brown in the run-up to a general election."
Clean EUkip up NOW & make UKIP electable!The corruption of some of EUkip’s leadership, their anti UKIP claque & the NEC is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!

TO PUT IT INTO CONTEXT & UNDERSTAND IT!
Hi,
this draft letter came into my hands last night as you will note from by earlier blogs and I opted as a long term UKIP supporter to make it public.
I also opted to use it to make more moves to make UKIP electable by trying to clen up the party.
ALL went well and I undertook not to publish the letter until The Sunday Times had published - early in the evening I was read an amusing brief article which I felt 'hit the spot' and was assured that the article was in the paper under the Atticus programme and I said I would lift the article with link for circulation and publish the full letter once the OnLine Times was up.
I have no idea when the decision was made to replace Roland's Atticus with a far less witty Atticus had replaced it! That's editors for you!
However the Atticus below is incredibly prescient! I will find out what happened when the Sunday Times staff are back in on Tuesday and let you know - they may even let me publish the article that was superceded.
Lesbian leader may be a tall order for UKIP
Here’s a phrase you won’t read very often: could a 6ft 4in lesbian be the next leader of the UK Independence party?
Nikki Sinclaire, an MEP for the West Midlands and former secretary of the party, has announced that she wants to succeed Nigel Farage. He is to fight John Bercow for the Commons Speaker’s parliamentary seat at the next general election.
One thing’s for sure: with Nikki at the helm, there will never be a dull moment. Because of her height and sexuality, she has often been forced to deny that she’s a transsexual. In 2004, she turned down approaches from party members who wanted her to lead a gay wing of UKIP. She was on holiday in Lesbos at the time.
However, I should warn Nikki that being featured in Atticus will not necessarily boost her chances of success. Last week I tipped MEP Marta Andreasen, former chief accountant of the European Commission, as a bold and “colourful” choice for UKIP leader.
The very next day, Marta resigned from the party.
Here is the letter promised in full:
An open letter to Nigel Farage MEP from Nikki Sinclaire MEP
3rd October 2009
Re: Your Leadership
Dear Nigel,
After much consideration, I feel it is incumbent upon me to write you this letter. I beseech you to reconsider your resignation as Party Leader, for the sake of UKIP, our cause and, more importantly, our country.
In all good conscience, I cannot see the sense of an internal election, costing more than £25,000, less than six months prior to a General Election campaign. I think it essential for the party to keep its eye on the ball and prepare for the election.
I completely concur with your judgment that you have too many responsibilities and you must prioritise. However, I respectively suggest that, in the short term, you have chosen the wrong priorities. We need you to lead the fight here in the UK, to spearhead our campaign as only you can do.
I cannot understand why you can't delegate some of your Brussels responsibilities to one of your 12 MEPs. You could still hold the title of EFD Co-President and give your wonderful plenary speeches but spend only six days a month in the parliament (as promised in your leadership election campaign).
You led us to an historic victory this year and have taken us to the centre ground of British politics, winning Labour strongholds such as Stoke, Newcastle under Lyme, Dudley, Plymouth , Sunderland, Hartlepool and others. Yet UKIP did not win one single Conservative stronghold and, if you step down, the party could be seen once again as an offshoot of the Tory party if the leadership race went as many expect, thereby costing us votes.
I also ask you to honour your pledge to the UKIP members - who elected you for a four-year term - to see out that commitment. The last thing the party needs now is a couple of months navel gazing. We certainly need a debate on the direction of the party in the near future but preferably after a General Election. If we are to have a leadership race, a race that will elect a leader, according to our constitution, not just for the forthcoming General Election but for the next European Election and possibly a second General Election, we must debate some key issues now in order to give a new leader a strong mandate.
This mandate will have to make difficult decisions, such as UKIP’s inclusion in a pan-European party, that you recently proposed we support. I feel that we, as MEPs representing UKIP’s best interests, could not go forward with this unless it is debated and voted on at conference. So I am glad to learn the proposal has been shelved for this year.
To conclude, Nigel, I ask you please to lead UKIP into the General Election and help increase our support across the Country whilst winning Buckingham and taking UKIP to a new level. Only you can do this, Nigel. Please do not desert us now. All UKIP MEPs will, I know, support you in return, to help you become the first UKIP MP.
If you choose to stay as Leader, I would not put my name forward in the leadership ballot and would urge others to do likewise.
Yours
Nikki
May I suggest that the interested UKIP supporter reads this letter several times before comment - it is well crafted and contains a surprising amount more than one might at first note.
The letter is a clear 'marker' and several times renounces the false trail EUkip is following, showing that much that is going on is for Farage's gain at the Party's expense.
Note the 'not just for the GE' - Farage has clearly stated he does not wish to be leader but he must now honour his commitment to the party struggle as it may be for him to access the leadership skills he has shown himself to be bereft of.
This letter precludes Farage from stepping aside to shelter behind his puppet only to reassume the title after the GE.
You will have noted Farage's claims to be standing down as leader have not fooled Nikki, it is clear he had hoped to dupe the party and retain all the benefits of leadership yet none of the responsibilities.
It is quite amusing to see Farage so competently out manoeuvered by someone with at least as much political nouse and clearly an intellect that leaves him standing.
Nikki has shown beyond all doubt her values and principles are in support of UKIP and the principles on which it was founded.
Farage will have a colonicly challenging couple of days as he seeks someone to take Nikki on as Farage never fights his own battles as Heather Conyngham, Petrina Holdsworth, Richard North and many others can attest, he knows deep down that he lacks the OQ or the intellect to win under such circumstances.
I would hazard a guess that Nikki considers the idea of pan EU Political Parties are an anethma and has clearly stated thy are a membership decision NOT just an enrichment scam for Farage, thus cleverly boxing Farage into a public debate and I doubt Nikki had read my blog and realised I had exposed the Pan EU Political
I envisage Nikki sitting in isolated splendor unwilling to be linked to Farage's vile associates but by this letter he has made her position clear but shows her total loyalty to UKIP leaving Farage in the ordure of EUkip, racism, extremism, xenophobia, homophobia as a bigot - a tag he was unable to distance himself from in Ireland as leader of The EFD!
Farage's greed in setting up the EFD left him in the position that Dick Roche was able to label EUkip as 'from the same gene pool as the BNP' - and however much it wrankled Farage could not refite it with his new best friends in the EFD!
Nikki's position is so unequivocally Patriotic, pro UKIP, withdrawalist and principled that Farage and the anti UKIP praise singers he has surrounded himself with, who have done such damage are left floundering in the gutter whilst Niki has thrown down the gauntlet holding the moral high ground.
It really is quite fun to see Farage and his sychophants shown for the individuals they are - he is a good performer good debater and quite good media and platform speaker or panelist but clearly he ain't no leader that he has been left floundering by just one interchange.
More of this and UKIP just might have a future.
May I suggest the serious opponent of the anti UKIP faragistas read my blogs in detail from #611* to date.
TO LEAVE THE EU
What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.
Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.
The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU's CAP - In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!
To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we thus leave our children and the future, with shame!

Greg L-W.

PLEASE POST THIS TAG AS FOLLOWS:ON YOUR eMAILS & BLOGS, FORUM POSTINGS & MAILINGS - GET THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE IT IS OUR BEST HOPE AS WHOEVER IS APPOINTED WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AS PROVED!
I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
Write Upon Your Ballot Paper at EVERY election:
LEAVE THE EU
