Did MI6 plot against UKIP?

Dirty tricks against UKIP by the establishment are not a new phenomenon. Though in recent days the Conservative party have been found engaging in them, there are far more striking examples from the recent past.

On 25 May 2001 the Spectator published a piece by Norman Tebbit that deserves to be far better known.  Tebbit recounts the tale of two serving or former British intelligence agents who infiltrated first Jimmy Goldsmith’s Referendum Party and then UKIP. Tebbit gives examples of how UKIP’s efforts were derailed during the period in which these agents were inside the party.

It is important to stress before directing you to the Tebbit piece below that it is not conspiracy theory. So long as it was British government policy to seek further integration into the EU, parties like UKIP posed a threat to perceived British interests.

As the arguments and policies of the mainstream parties crumble all about them, it is worth reflecting on the depths some institutions have been willing to stoop to in recent years in order to silence a perfectly respectable and mainstream point of view. I think other members of the public will find the piece interesting reading.

UKIP: Is There A Hidden Agenda? By Norman Tebbit 25 MAY 2001

Norman Tebbit has uncovered an intriguing story about a possible link between Europe and the security services

I have heard more than a few conspiracy theorists telling me of plots against the Queen or how the KGB had infiltrated the Vatican, not to mention absolutely reliable sightings of Little Green Men from Mars. The Little Green Men fraternity are not too much trouble. A promise that their news will be passed to the special unit monitoring LGM is sufficient cover to escape. The conspiracy theorists are more difficult as they are reluctant to accept that the cock-up theory is more often right than the conspiracy one.
