UKIP, Breitbart, and the Tea Party in the UK | Charlotte Henry

Since launching in London, the website Breitbart London, a website I used to contribute to, has given a lot of positive coverage to UKIP. Breitbart founder, the late Andrew Breitbart, was a supporter of the Tea Party movement. It seems that the London arm of the Breitbart operation are being teamed with UKIP, in moves to help bring the Tea Party movement to the UK.

This morning, in the wake of another Tory defection, former MP Louise Mensch has been highlighting a lot of the links between UKIP, the US Tea Party, and Breitbart, including:

It was also revealed that the name TEA Party as a political party with the Electoral Commission in 2010 but senior UKIP activists.*

At first I was sceptical. I thought that perhaps this was a novelty party free tea for everyone, that kind of thing. Then I started looking into the official officers for this Tea Party.

After failing in that bid McGough ran for UKIP, under their pseudonym Fresh Choice for London,for the GLA constituency of Brent and Harrowagainst me!

The official Party Leader is Andrew George Smith, who has stood for UKIP both as a PCC candidate in Essex and to be a MEP in the East of England in 2009.

These are people with obvious and strong connections with UKIP, but not well enough to be known hugely by the general public. It means they are perfect people to be entrusted with registering and leading another political entity with connections to UKIP.

A quick look on Breitbart London makes it very clear just who they are backing, with stories very often giving support to UKIP figures. With the sites connection to both the Tea Party in America, and UKIP in the UK, it looks like the move towards a UK Tea Party is well under way.

UPDATES

Louise Mensch has also pointed out this from an interview with Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon:

Tea Party mom wins $1.12M for false prosecution

A Long Island mother of three arrested for taking pictures of an Air National Guard base in the Hamptons while armed to the teeth with a licensed assault rifle in her car has been awarded $1.12 million by a federal jury over her false prosecution by Suffolk County authorities.

The Central Islip jury on Thursday sided with Nancy Genovese, 58, in a 2010 lawsuit she filed against Suffolk County, its Sheriffs Office and other parties, claiming she was only arrested during the July 2009 incident because she belonged to the Tea Party.

Genovese was arrested while taking pictures of a decorative helicopter in front of the Gabreski Airport Air National Guard base in Westhampton Beach for a Support Our Troops website. She was charged with criminal trespass and spent four days in jail before the charges were dropped.

Southhampton cops searched her and found a legally owned rifle that she was transporting from a nearby rifle range. She contends a deputy sheriff arrived on the scene later and said to her, I bet you are one of those Tea Party people. When Genovese said shes gone to Tea Party rallies, he allegedly said, Youre a real right-winger, arent you? and You are a Teabagger and then added that shed be arrested for terrorism to make an example of other right wingers.

Ms. Genovese was subjected to a level of abuse because [authorities] did not share the same political views as she did and saw this as an excuse to deny her even the most basic civil rights, her lawyer Frederick Brewington said.

Genovese said in a statement said she was relieved by the jurys verdict. She added, if this can happen to me, and officers can abuse their power like this, I can only imagine how other people who are not as fortunate as me have been treated.

Messages left with Suffolk County and the Sheriffs Office were not immediately returned.

Budget bill unites tea party, liberals in opposition

WASHINGTON The lawmakers in what had been labeled a do-nothing Congress did plenty of last-minute lawmaking in the $1.1 trillion spending bill that appears to be destined for final passage.

While keeping the doors of the government open, they repealed a key part of the law aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis that caused the Great Recession, opened the door to huge new campaign donations to political parties and made it easier for some companies to cut back on pensions.

And in what might have been their biggest feat of all, the House Republicans and Senate Democrats who drew up the bill nicknamed the CRomnibus united the liberal left and the tea party.

A vote for this bill is a vote for future taxpayer bailouts of Wall Street, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democrat whose opposition to the bill pushed it to the brink of failure in the House late Thursday, said on the Senate floor.

Erick Erickson, whose RedState blog is among the most popular on the far right, agreed.

Ultimately we got a clear picture of where Republican leaders stand, he wrote. They headed to the edge of the shutdown cliff, willing to shut down the government for a Wall Street bailout.

Locally, Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, opposed the measure for the very reasons Warren cited as well as others. Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., supported repeal of those controversial policy provisions but remained on the fence as of late Friday as to whether she would vote for the spending measure, which is likely to come before the Senate Saturday.

Reps. Chris Collins and Tom Reed, Republicans from Clarence and Corning, respectively, supported the spending bill, saying it is good for their districts and that it would avoid the kind of government shutdown they supported only 14 months ago.

And Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., backed it, too, calling it the best deal Democrats could get and a good deal for New York State. The local lawmakers all offered varied explanations for their actions, and for the odd political circumstances that led to the bills likely passage.

This bill is over 1,600 pages long and theres a lot of legislating going on in there, Higgins said. There are a lot of things in here that have no relevance to a spending bill.
