Ukip still alive, allegedly

As of today, Ukip's crowdfunding site is still showing only £620 raised of the £100,000 needed. But interim leader Gerrard Batten has been boasting that the Kippers have not only raised more than the £100,000 they were begging for, but that they've settled their £175,000 defamation bill by "other means."

Disappointing, if true.

Assuming it is, I wonder who's throwing money at these clowns? Presumably not the small grass roots donors the crowdfunding site was there to attract. The wonga is more likely to have come from a well-heeled source like Mayfair-based Growth Financial Services Ltd, who bunged the Kippers £154,000 in Q4 of 2017. Time, and the Electoral Commission, will tell.

If they're back, I seriously doubt that it's by popular demand.
