Sanya-Jeet Thandi who wowed the UKIP conference.Once again I have been absent from this blog, the reason being was down to the UKIP conference in Eastbourne, which you may have glimpsed fleetingly on the BBC last Friday.
As someone who has been updating this ‘umble blog for a while now, it came as a great pleasure to meet two people at the UKIP conference who read this blog – that was quite a privilege.
One of those who introduced himself to me at the end of the evening on Friday, after the conference dinner, was born in Portugal and had lived there in the days when it was an oppressive dictatorship, there was no freedom and everyone had to take care of what they said and did. One of the reasons for him joining UKIP is in the fact he sees things the EU doing which are maybe not as bad as those distant times in Portugal, but there are worrying similarities.
The conference was opened by Councillor Carolyn Heaps, the Mayor of Eastbourne, and then we were in for two days of brilliant speeches, fringe events and much socialising. It was great to see members of Young Independence being so active at the conference. One young lady, Sanya-Jeet Thandi, who had not long joined UKIP, wowed the delegates with her enthusiasm and gave a speech of great competence, so much so the comment was made: “Are we looking at a future leader of UKIP?”
There were also speakers from other EU countries, such as Timo Soini, the leader of the True Finns Party as well as speakers from France and the Netherlands. There were debates and other speakers included journalists Patrick O’Flynn and Alex Singleton.
This conference was a truly professional event, which was well run and organised. As well as that it was also the best attended conference ever, UKIP is really becoming a force to be recognised.
On the second day of conference there were speeches about the way forward for UKIP, also about HS2 which is part of the EU’s Ten T’s transport system. Inez Ward spoke about the damage being done to the pub trade and said we have to “use them or lose them” – so we all piled in the pub next door for lunch when the time came.
One of my UKIP Black Country pals, Bill Etheridge who hails from Dudley, gave a cracking talk on the madness of political correctness which as well as making people laugh with much of the stupidity of the PC brigade, he also made people aware of just how sinister PC is as it makes people begin to worry not only about what they say – but also what they think.
Then, of course, there was Nigel Farage himself who gave his usual barnstorming and rousing keynote speech. He took a dig at all those who constantly said: “Just wait for David to get in”, well now he is in what better reason is there for the Conservative members to join UKIP – he has betrayed them.
All in all it’s been a spiffing couple of days, however, since then I have been busy sorting and grading the photographs I took of the event – over 700 of them which I always give to UKIP and many who want them free of charge – despite what certain unreliable sources report. Next stop Skegness for the UKIP spring conference.
