and welcome to my website explaining why an oddball like me should be returned to the NEC!

You think I'm joking? Well, who else goes around arguing that UKIP is like a capsized swan?

Many people know the story of the swan. As it glides serenely through the water it looks majestic, totally in control and purposeful. However, underneath the water the legs are going like the clappers and its all wild thrashing! UKIP is like a capsized Swan. The part of UKIP the public see thrashes about in wild and uncontrolled abandon, we throw out policies, we adopt unsuitable candidates, we flout Electoral Commission rules but all the while, the part the public don't see, the leadership and the back room organisation, drift along perfectly happy and serene thinking all is well with the party because we have 12, 11, 10 MEP's in the EFD Group.

• THIS HAS TO CHANGE!
  
  
• WE NEED TO GET THE UKIP SWAN THE RIGHT WAY UP
  
  
• IF I AM ELECTED ONTO THE UKIP NEC THEN SWAN UPPING WILL BE ONE OF MY PRIORITIES!

I hope you enjoy this internet folly, and wish the "Best of British" to all my fellow candidates, especially Rob McW, my webmaster.
