UKIP In Wales. The Comedy Continues.....As Does The Ignorance

Hello there. Hope you're feeling well today.

Since this has been the first proper week I've been in Wales since looking after my mother for the past few months there have been some issues that I've not yet feel able to chat about since returning from Essex exile. Simply because I'd not the opportunity to look into them properly (such as the Barry furnace, the dumping of mud from mud at Hinckley Point to Cardiff and what has been described as a potential "lurch to the left" by the party I support Plaid Cymru - Gut instinct nothing wrong with that unless it's perceived as way of out Corbyning Corbyn. Then it will fail).

So what I'm saying is that if you think for the moment I'm avoiding chatting about particular subjects. Well guilty.....for now.

But one thing that apparently hasn't changed during my time away is the regional comedy that's UKIP in Wales. From appointing Neil Hamilton as it's leader. To watching another Tory defector move to UKIP and then move back to the Tories (Ignorance is bliss...it's also Mark Reckless). To seeing Nathan Gill choose between his roles as Assembly member for in the Welsh Assembly or as Member of the European Parliament....and choosing Europe.....let that sink in.

The point is that even before the party looked stupid on a United Kingdom level it has become a laughing stock in Wales long before that.

A few days ago Neil Hamilton continued in this vein as he sent this tweet @NeilUKIP protesting about the Brexit transit deal and what he sees as it's dire effect on the fishing industry.

I'm calling on Britain's fishermen to get their rods out and march on Downing Street, to send a message to Theresa May that Britain's fish cannot be used as a bargaining chip at the EU negotiations. @FishingforLeave

Now my first reaction was to go all Carry On and Oh err Missus at his call for fishermen "to get their rods out". But then something else occurred to me. Something much more serious.

UKIP are talking about the fishing industry around Britain as they understand their concerns and fight for them. But even I, a man who has never been on a fishing boat, knows that the people who work on these boats don't use rods..... they use nets. 

Anglers use rods.

UKIP claim to care about the fishing industry and yet here is it's Welsh leader being ignorant of it.

UKIP are a party without a purpose. Like the dead fish Nigel Farage threw into the River Thames (was that legal?) it's just there for show now and nothing else.

Until the next time.
