News reaches the Common Man of developments relating to the official UKIP forum, where dirty dealing are afoot.
Apparently, Nikki Sinclaire, Josh O'Nyons and the entire Sinclaire office have been barred from posting, with young Mr O'Nyons facing disciplinary action over his creation of multiple user IDs using UKIP membership numbers of people who were considered unlikely to use the internet.
After a sudden upsurge in the number of pro-Sinclaire posts, moderators took a look at the IP addresses of those posting under new identities. To nobodies particular surprise, although these people were supposed to be all over the country, they all seemed to have gone to Ms Sinclaires office specifically to post on the forum.
As user IDs are tied to UKIP membership numbers, calls were made to these new converts to Ms Sinclaires cause. Of four people called, none of them knew they were registered on the forum, and only one even knew of its existence. One didn't even own a computer, and had never used the internet in his life. All of them were horrified to find themselves supporting Ms Sinclaire.
This is not the first time this has happened. Ms Sinclaires postings frequently appeared from her Birmingham offices IP address while she was in Strasbourg, while whole threads of pro-Sinclaire postings were made with different identities but from the same IP address.
As Gregg 'Rosie' Beaman is now working for Ms Sinclaire, perhaps her office has been taking tips from him? Mr Beaman, for anyone who may have forgotten, has similar form as he voluntarily stood down as the north west lead candidate and salaried regional organiser after borrowing a prominent UKIP members laptop, posting vehemently anti-UKIP postings on the Democracy Forum under a false name, and then forgeting to delete them from the laptop when he handed it back.
The Common Man is not surprised to discover two things. That Ms Sinclaire, fresh from helping John Bercow in Buckingham last tuesday, has yet to demonstrate just how low she will sink to damage UKIP, and that she is gathering around her a witches brew of failed UKIP staff to help her campaign. It is lucky for UKIP that her and her ever shrinking band of followers are so incompetent. How long before she hires Mental Health Trust (patient representative) board member John West to continue her lunacy? At least he has first hand experience of a mad house.

A day of surprising sights on the campaign trail
The Common Man has been out on the campaign trail once again, and saw a very interesting meeting yesterday in Buckingham. While sipping a G&T in the White Hart, who should appear - miles from where they should have any business - but Nikki Sinclaire and Gary Cartwright, the liberal nazis. Surprising as that was, it was even more of a surprise to see incumbent and soon to be unemployed speaker of the Commons John Bercow enter with his campaign team shortly afterwards.
In a day of surprises, and just to top it all, they then all greeted each other cordially before the two elected members left together, with their entourages, out of the back door.
And so, revived, who should I see on my way back to the UKIP campaign office but Gary Cartwright and Mark Croucher shaking hands and chatting in the company of one of Bercows campaign team? The latter was next spotted deep in conversation with Annabelle Fuller in the campaign office.
The wheels within wheels of UKIP never leave me unsurprised.

Election on the horizon? Time for the anti-UKIP mob to take up arms again
With an election around the corner, it's not surprising to see the anti-UKIP brigade starting up in force again, is it? Just like every election since the year dot, the same old allegations are brought out again, dusted off, and given pride of place by the likes of Mr Watkins and his cohorts.
What's new this year? A few interesting twists, some of them ironic.
Ms Sinclaire resigns from the EFD Group after taking 6 months to notice that she doesnt like some of the EFD members because they are 'racist and homophobic', and immediately employs Gary Cartwright, a former member of the National Front and National Democrats, to guide her hand.
Hypocrisy? Maybe so. And not without irony. But not as ironic as her recent statement to MEPs, where she insisted that, while attempting to be as open and honest as possible on her application to be an MEP, she consulted lawyers about whether to declare her bankruptcy and they assured her there was no need.
Is this the woman who wanted transparency? How many other potential MEPs were so worried that they might make a mistake on their forms that they consulted lawyers? Many might think that you dont consult lawyers because you are desperate to be open and honest with members, but because you are looking for a way to hide something. Like a bankruptcy which was only discharged a year before the selection process began. It strikes me that its a funny way of being open.

DP Commissioner rejects claims by Page & West
The Data Protection Commissioner has rejected claims of abuse of data by both Robin Page and John West.
The Commissioner said in Mr Pages case that there was 'no case to answer' and that 'UKIP had complied in every respect with the (Data Protection) Act'.
In Mr Wests case, the Commissioner said that while the posting of the video of Mr West making a fool of himself on You-Tube was regrettable, there would be no further action.
The decision was made several days ago. How strange that neither Mr Page nor Mr West, who both made much of having made the complaint, have publicised their obvious relief that their personal data was not misused by UKIP and that their complaints have been proven groundless.
Can we now look forward to Mr Lance Watkins publicising this clearing of UKIP on his blog.

Mr Lance Watkins launches low key BNP blog
The Common Man has been delayed in Strasbourg and so once again it is Bob Pacific here filling in until normal service is resumed.
Mr Lance Watkins has clearly taken the Common Mans comments to heart (21 March) as just days after it was noted that Mr Lance Watkins had blogs which smeared every party and anti-EU group apart from the BNP, he launched his BNP blog (26 March). So far it has a single post which consists of a link to Searchlight. Such damning criticism!
It must be difficult to be in his position, making lukewarm criticisms of the BNP while praising them as 'just another patriotic party' (his words), when in his heart of hearts its the BNP he supports. Theres plenty of evidence in this blog of his public anti-semitism and hatred of foreigners plus his homophobia, plus his self-acknowledged friendship with Nick Griffin.
What is the betting that within a few days of this, he'll be adding information to his BNP blog, but stopping well short of anything near the bile he pours on moderate eurosceptics? They say you know a man by his friends and a quick look at the people Mr Lance Watkins praises is enough. Mr Abbott, BNP donor. Ms Holdsworth-Voelcker, anti-semite. Mr Haslam, BNP party organiser. Mr Mottram, BNP emissary. No wonder he hates Del Young!

A plethora of Lance-Watkins blogs, but whats missing?
The Common Man apologises for his long absence, but is once again in the UK and able to continue exposing the mad and the bad.
A brief look at the blogs operated by Mr Lance Watkins, whose convictions are more criminal than political, is quite illuminating.
caterpillarsandbutterflies - anti-UKIP
No2EU - anti-No2EU
LibertasUK - anti-Libertas
UK First Party - anti-UK First Party
Irish-Referendum - anti-No campaign
The contents of these are all pretty much the same. Slag off any members who dare put their heads above the parapet and disagree with him and accusing any party official of corruption, ignorance or stupidity if not all three. Proven liar..... desk...... nut-all...... delboy...... Meanwhile, anyone who is thrown out is a model of probity...... potential leader...... moral...... even when they've donated to the BNP in the past.
But what is missing from the list of anti-anti-EU parties above?
Can anyone see Mr Lance Watkins anti-BNP blog? Has anyone seen anything anti-BNP apart from a few comments here and there to keep up the pretence of being against them?
Does anyone not think it wierd that despite accusing UKIP, UKFP, No2EU, Libertas and everyone else of acting as 'recruiting sergeants for the BNP', he feels no need to bother with attacking the BNP?
Let us not forget that Mr Lance-Watkins is the man who tried to entrap UKIP and other eurosceptic activists into meeting with BNP leader Nick Griffin at one of his Huntsman weekends. Is it any coincidence that a pub called the Huntsman was the meeting point for a BNP fundraiser to be held at a hotel up the road earlier this month? Or that Mr Lance Watkins has described the BNP as 'just another patriotic party'?
