UKIP MEPs home attacked with bricks as campaign of hate against UKIP steps up.

Smashed UKIP shopfront on Mutley Plain, Plymouth

News reaches us that the campaign of violence and intimidation against UKIP has been stepped up a notch. UKIP's London MEP Gerard Batten and his wife were woken at 3:30am this morning by a loud noise in their house. On getting up and investigating they could see nothing and assuming their cat had knocked something over they went back to bed. 45 minutes later, they were woken again by a loud bang followed by the sounds of breaking glass. There was no mistaking the cause this time, as on coming downstairs to investigate they discovered a house brick in the middle of their living room and their living room window smashed. Police are investigating and reviewing local CCTV footage.

This is just the latest in a string of increasingly heated attacks on UKIP supporters, activists and premises and comes just hours before a UKIP meeting in Hove this evening which is expected to be heavily picketed by Hope not Hate and UAF activists. At UKIP's last meeting in the area, Hope not Hate activists verbally abused and intimidated pensioners they believed to be attending the UKIP meeting only to discover that they were in fact blood donors attending a regular NHS donor session in the same building.

Elsewhere, UKIP leader Nigel Farage was assaulted by Hope not Hate activist Andrew Scott in Margate - Scott was subsequently convicted - and by HnH/UAF activist Fred Glenister in Nottingham. Glenister is awaiting trial.

UKIP billboards across the country have been repeatedly targeted in an organised campaign of
destruction, with hard left activists encouraged to post pictures of their handiwork on a Facebook page. Look into the active member's profiles, and you'll see plenty of likes for the usual hard left suspects - UAF, SWP, AntiFa, Hope not Hate and all the rest, mostly combined with 'likes' for various Green Party organisations. The Greens are currently the subject of an internal takeover attempt by the hard left which wants to turn them from watermelons into tomatoes. Hope not Hate and UAF of course claim no responsibility for this and deny it is anything to do with them. Most of the poorly spelt slogans painted onto the UKIP billboards are taken directly from Hope not Hate and UAF literature.

MEPs windows and UKIP billboards aren't the only targets for damage, however. In Plymouth, the UKIP shop on Mutley Plain has had its windows smashed 3 times since March. In the Wythenshawe by-election, hard left activists daubed the windows with paint on three occasions, broke in and stole equipment on once occasion and stormed the premises while it was open on one occasion, stealing leaflets and letting off stink bombs. Elderly UKIP by-election campaigners were insulted and threatened while canvassing, and council house tenants were threatened with the loss of their housing unless they removed UKIP posters.

Meanwhile, UKIP meetings have been increasingly targeted by elements of the hard left who find intimidation easier than argument. 'Stand up to UKIP' another SWP front organisation has seen it's demonstrations publicised across many groups - including the billboard group - as Hope not Hate continues to publicise yet another SWP front organisation, Love Music Hate Racism (run by SWP rapist Martin Smith).

Concerns are being raised at UKIP about how long it will be before these increasingly aggressive tactics turn into open violence, particularly given the large UKIP vote expected on the 22nd. Several 'anti fascist' groups have published the home addresses of UKIP MEPs on their Facebook pages with the suggestion that members 'pay them a visit', while the intimidatory tactics directed at UKIP supporters grow ever closer to open violence. Last week's UKIP public meeting in Westminster saw SWP, UAF and Hope not Hate activists debating whether to use racist terms such as 'coconut' and 'oreo' to describe UKIP candidates from ethnic minorities in a further sign of the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to deter public support for UKIP.

Are Hope not Hate and UAF responsible for the actions of their activists? By their own standards of attacking UKIP based on what isolated individuals say then yes, they are. And yet these are not isolated incidents: UKIP has had a handful of individuals who have said or done stupid things, and has dealt with them all swiftly. This campaign against UKIP of violence, intimidation, assaults both verbal and physical, and criminal damage is widespread and being conducted by significant numbers of people. It is time for the Hope not Hate and UAF leadership to publicly distance themselves from these people: if they will not, that can only be considered as their tacit acceptance of the actions of their activists.

This won't make it to national news, instead a 21-year old who advocates open borders (who joined Ukip......errrr wot?) who has fell out of favour in the party calling them waycist will. Billboards attacked, leader attacked, members verbally insulted, property damaged and blood and faeces sent in the post.... yet no national coverage. Strange that, ain't it?

I actually fear for the safety of Farage from these thugs, something similar happened in the Netherlands in the early 2000s with Pim Fortuyn, resulting in his death. If Farage is attacked, i'll hold the media & establishment responsible for it.

Thoughts?

So the article you've posted this from even questions whether the thugs are from greens or the hope not hate party (meaning it's only heresy at the moment) yet you've posted this with the title claiming it as fact. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

On the actual incident itself, I think it's terrible people are resorting to vandalism and would take their views this far, but there are always extremists on every side.

In response to your bottom paragraph, questioning why this hasn't been covered as much as a rising political party's youth leader resigning over controversial reason, well I'm sure that answers itself, a smashed window isn't ever going to make national news. Also this whole 'UKIP' is being bullied by the media opinion is ridiculous, when Nigel Farage was assaulted last week (egged) it was all over the news.

We know it stems from these groups - as the interview I posted last night showed - as it's the same lot who keep turning up at every event. NopeNotHope has been tracking them, as have posters on FB and Twitter ever since Hope Not Hate, the local Greens in Brighton and the UAF have decided to start targeting Ukip.

The question is, how much they want to push it until they get a smack back.

I never see Ukip members behaving like this.

Imagine the media coverage if they did, though.

That's all conjecture, there is no proof that members of these groups are responsible for this incident, which is why the thread title is wrong. You can hypothesise all you want, and I agree that there's a large chance that whoever did this is associated with a far left group, but that doesn't mean it's fact, which your heading implies.

Vandalising because someone or something you don't like is worse than the hot air spouted in the first place. These people should go back into the cages they came from, regardless of who they are (whether they are actually supporters of other parties or people finding any excuse to vandalise - like in the London riots).

In this incident there's no direct proof, but I would bet my house that whoever did it belongs to one of these (see video) groups...

UAF, HnH, SWP, LeftUnity, the Trade Unions and the Greens/parts of Labour are running this thuggish campaign.

They've been linked with past events, and they'll be linked in future with future events.

so much for hope not hate right there.

I don't agree with UKIP but what they did is absolutely despicable and awful.

So i'm correct and the thread title is false.

Considering their current record of abuse and violence, i'd bet my future house that one of these groups (at least) are linked.

It certainly wouldn't come as the shock of the century. They're now spreading Farage's home address on Facebook too.

The group, whose logo is of a masked and hooded anarchist, is tied via its association with an anti-UKIP group known as SLATUKIP to Hope not Hate - who regularly feature information they receive from them - and to an off-shoot of the pro-EU, pro-big business British Influence organisation via its Action2014 anti-UKIP arm. British Influence is headed by former Conservative Party staffer Peter Wilding, and is supported by both Kenneth Clarke and Lord Mandelson. Wilding is a close friend of Tory MEP David Campbell Bannerman, who defected from UKIP to the Tories and who is set to lose his seat next Thursday.

I've always said that the UAF made the EDL look like pu55ycats.
