UKIP NEWS: BORING SPOOK ELECTED LEADER, LOGO CHANGED
Since Nigel Farage stepped down, exhausted in the wake of Brexit for a well deserved rest, his political party, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) has had a hard time finding a suitable replacement.
The last leader -- some fat bloke with a beard whose name now escapes me -- did very poorly at the UK general election in June, so it was no surprise that he hit the trap door. Since then the campaign has been on to find the next leader, with most of the excitement being caused by lesbian anti-Islam campaigner Anne Marie Waters.
BTW, what is it with gays and lesbians being anti-Muslim? I mean I can't really take their anti-Islamism seriously if it is merely based on the fact that they would be thrown off a tall building in the future Caliphate. I prefer my anti-Islamism to have a broader and less obviously selfish base than that.
Anyway, back to the results. It looks like a lot of Ukippers weren't ready for the shrill anti-Islamism that Ms. Waters would have provided, as she finished in second place to the winner, Henry Bolton. Full results:
Henry Bolton 3,874 votes (29.9%)
Anne Marie Waters on 2,755 (21.3%)
David Kurten 2,201 votes (17.0%)
John Rees-Evans 2,021 (15.6%)
Peter Whittle 1,413 (10.9%)
Jane Collins 566 (4.4%)
Aidan Powlesland 85 (0.65%)
Turnout was 46%, which was surprisingly low. It is thought that a lot of those entitled to vote didn't bother as they have left the party or no longer take an interest in its affairs.
So, who is this new leader, Henry Bolton?

Outside of UKIP few know him. He is a 54 year-old, balding ex-army intelligence officer (nice of MI5 to let us know what they are up to), who ran a sedate and sober campaign that appealed to the more cautious and conservative elements of the party.
He may simply be a place holder until Farage gets his mojo back, as his main focus seems to be on changing the party constitution to increase the power of the leader at the expense of the party’s executive group. Apart from this, he is unlikely to shake things up or turn the party's downward fortunes around.

In the opinion of Alt-Right News, Anne Marie Waters, despite her flaws and disturbing appearance, would have been the best leader to revive the near moribund party. Right now it is in the doldrums, without a clear political purpose, as the different positions on Brexit -- from hard to soft -- are all represented within the ruling Conservative Party.
UKIP desperately needs another string to its bow. Taking a strong stance on Islamic radicalism and the Islamification of the UK could have provided that. Instead Ukippers have elected a boring establishment type who is going to specialise in party naval gazing.
There is every likelihood that those who voted for Waters will now consider splitting from the party, either joining another party or forming a new party. Paul Weston of Liberty GB, a small anti-Islamic party and an ally of Waters expressed disgust at the result, tweeting that “UKIP needed a revolutionary leader, instead it got Mr Establishment Henry Bolton OBE who will do nothing whatsoever about Islam.”
Another ally, EDL founder Tommy Robinson commented, "UKIP are now irrelevant when it comes to the biggest threat our country faces. We need a political voice to oppose Islam like Wilders & Le Pen."
This result does nothing to stop the downward trajectory of UKIP, and in fact speeds it up. It seems British nationalism may be about to enter a new phase. It certainly has a lot of catching up to do with the major European countries, like in Germany where nationalism made a major breakthrough last week.

In other news, UKIP also finally decided to ditch their old logo. Since the party was founded in 1993, they have used a logo based on the British pound mark.
Now they have switched to a lion logo that many commentators say is too reminiscent of the logo of the soccer Premier League.

If nationalism was only half as popular and lucrative as Britain's national sport, then Britain's troubles would be over.
