Subj: UKIP Leadership
Dear All,
I am writing to those who have been kind enough to ask me to stand in the Leadership contest.
I have decided to do so today, and I am attaching the press release I put out earlier.
Thanks for your support.
Regards,
Gerard Batten
Member of the European Parliament for London
UK Independence Party
PRESS RELEASE
UK Independence Party
From Gerard Batten MEP, London
Date:* 25th August 2010
GERARD BATTEN MEP TO RUN FOR
LEADERSHIP OF THE UK INDEPENDENCE PARTY
*
Gerard Batten, UKIP MEP for London, announces his intention to be a candidate in the forthcoming leadership contest for the UK Independence Party.
*
Mr Batten came second in the UKIP leadership election in November 2009.* He is founder member of UKIP and has represented London since 2004.
*
Mr Batten said, "I will saying more about my programme for the Party as the contest progresses. At this stage it is sufficient to say that my vision for the Party is for it to continue its development as a radical alternative to the cross-party consensus that is reducing Britain the status of a colony of the European Union.
*
"I have been persuaded to make my decision on the basis of the large number of calls and messages I have had from UKIP activists and members asking me to enter the contest and because I have a clear view of where the Party should be heading".* *
*
Note: Press or media who wish to speak to Mr Batten can contact him on his office number 020 7403 7174.
*
Note an interview with RT that MAY make you consider that Gerard Batten is the best option for UKIP - not a pure academic economic theorist, at the moment his only contender of consequence.
Batten's interview is rational, reasonable and seems moderate - but what is there moderate about a man whoclearly and unequivocally has colluded in corruption and dishonesty withing UKIP without a murmur of disent.
Batten's interview by this young lass presents well but she is hardly a cutting edge journalist, she merely draws out of him rehearsed answers to pre planned questions - not a problem but clearly to be noted.
Never forget Batten NEVER spoke out about the corruption, racism, anti Judaism, anti Homosexuality, anti Islamic position of UKIP leadership - Further this man colluded with Derek Clark and Douglas Denny in abuse of British tennets of Justice to seek to deny Peter Baker a fair and honest trial with defence and sworn witnesses and sought to participate in a corrupt Kangaroo Court administerd by the undeniably corrupt Douglas Denny at the instruction of the clearly corrupt Derek Clark.
Finally before watching the interview do remember the number of times he has overtly and covertly taken the role of the coward and lied about me - not man enough to make his comments to my face because he has known he was telling lies.
Minded that Gerard Batten is weak, cowardly, corrupt and a liar see how he makes out in a friendly interview:
UKIP leadership election: Gerard Batten steps down
Tim Congdon's campaign website is now online: LINK

A GREAT DEAL MORE ABOUT CONGDON CAN BE FOUND IF YOU CLICK HERE
So Gerard did the decent thing after all! You will recall that he was asked by Roger Knapman to stand down in favour of Tim. At first he refused. Now he has agreed! The other Tim must be furious!
Here is Mr Congdon's statement:
Statement on the 2010 UK Independence Party leadership election from Gerard Batten MEP and Tim Congdon
Tim Congdon and Gerard Batten have decided to combine forces in a bid for the leadership of the UK Independence Party, in the forthcoming leadership election. As explained in an open letter to his supporters, Gerard Batten – the MEP for London – has decided not to seek the leadership himself, but to support the candidature of Tim Congdon. If Tim Congdon is elected as Leader of the UK Independence Party, Tim will appoint Gerard as his Deputy Leader and Head of Policy Development.
Gerard Batten’s reasons for this move are given in the accompanying open letter. Gerard came second in the 2009 Leadership Election with 26% of the vote, and is one of the most popular and respected figures in the UK Independence Party. He was one of the party’s founder members in September 1993 and is currently Party Spokesman on Justice and Home Affairs, Immigration and Islamism.
Tim Congdon is one of the UK’s leading economic commentators and served, as an economic “wise man”, on the Treasury Panel of Independent Forecasters – the forerunner of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee – between 1993 and 1997. He was appointed CBE in 1997 for services to economic debate. Tim has for almost 20 years been noted for his Eurosceptic views and, in particular, for his opposition to the introduction of the single European currency in the UK in the 1990s.
In his welcome for Gerard’s decision, Tim said,
I am absolutely thrilled that Gerard has decided to combine forces with me in my bid to become leader of UKIP. We are both horrified by the surrender of the British people’s freedoms to European Union bureaucrats in a foreign capital and the immense damage now being inflicted on the UK’s economy by its EU membership. We will work together in the challenging political task of taking the UK out of the EU.
I could not have found a better partner in my leadership bid. I look forward to working with Gerard in the next four years, in the run-up to the 2014 European elections, and perhaps also in the next general election. We both believe that the Leader of UKIP must concentrate his efforts on campaigning in the UK, and not be distracted by what is happening in the European Parliament in Brussels and Strasbourg. I see this very much as a joint leadership bid. We will work together closely as a team.
