Talk:Nikki Sinclaire

Source of denied allegations of an affair between Farage and Fuller
I've been trying to source and date the alleged 'affair' between Nigel Farage and his former Press Secretary. I found this which indicates it could have been Sinclaire, AFTER being forced out of the UKIP alliance: does anyone else have anything to contradict what looks like a false allegation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.107.128 (talk) 20:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Continued UKIP membership
Does anybody known yet if she will be allowed to stay in UKIP? RicoRichmond (talk) 00:36, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Advisor/Expulsion
I have restored the material that someone added about the advisor as it seems relevant and is referenced. The post of Sinclaire’s parliamentary advisor is an important one; Cartwright’s past history is relevant because his current activities with Alan Harvey bring into question his political views.

I am aware from scanning the blogs that this issue is contentious for the various factions in UKIP: removing it could be adduced as bias for the subject, adding to it runs the risk of being seen to be against the subject. I believe this is as a neutral edit as is possible.

Obviously the relationship between Sinclaire and UKIP is still ongoing and this page will have to be edited as that unfolds.--Utinomen (talk) 13:54, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I've [ removed] it again. It has lots of references for the individual assertions it makes, but draws an overall conclusion which is not supported by the references: this is original synthesis. A source which supports text like "X questioned her actions because her advisor is ..." would be suitable (and also make the point a lot more clearly). --h2g2bob (talk) 01:58, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Canterbury (NZ) or Kent at Canterbury?
The article indicates that Nikki Sinclaire was educated at the University of Canterbury, which links to the New Zealand institution of that name. I suspect this is incorrect and that she was in fact educated at the University of Kent at Canterbury, but I can't find a source at present. Anyone know anything about this? Ivor Stoughton (talk) 00:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

On the balance of probabilities I have changed it to University of Kent at Canterbury and sought citation. Ned de Rotelande 10:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Not UKIP, mention WDAR first
Sinclaire is a We demand a referendum MEP, not UKIP, so why do ukiP get a mentiOn before the new Party?

Similarly, why does somebody keep putting the ukip category and dropdown at bottom of the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.92.35.183 (talk) 11:18, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Fraud Allegations & Arrest
Why is this not mentioned in the article? There seems to be no mention of her arrest, surely this deserves it's own section as it could affect her ability to stand again if she is prosicuted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.133.12.45 (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Already in article. Sportfan5000 (talk) 02:00, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Meddling in Irish affairs
Reading the reference here, it is crystal clear that Farage and Sinclair's intervention in the electoral affairs of a foreign country is completely resented by the journalist. The involvement of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) is particularly egregious. Why then the cosy title "Campaigning against Irish austerity" rather than the wp:npov Anti-fiscal treaty campaign?

That bit about her being the only British Parliamentarian etc..
Sorry everyone I'm a bit new to this. The cite attached to the bit about her being invited to Auschwitz doesn't have anything in it about her at all - it only mentions two politicians, neither of them being her. What does one do in cases like that? cheers :) Layne Stalin (talk) 18:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Nor does the cite on her being invited to Tunisia. The link goes to an essay by her, but its behind a paywall and doesn't say who invited her or why she was there. Again, I feel like the author needs to put in better citations or remove unverified claims, or maybe I should remove them, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes and just delete stuff if that's not the done thing! If anyone has any advice lmk! :) Layne Stalin (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * If you can't find citation, or evidence beyond that essay, then yes they should be removed. BitterGiant (talk) 00:11, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Clean up?
Yeah so this page is kind of a mess of short snippets of information that don't really need their own sub-sections, or are frivolous and not really needed.

Perhaps some of this information could be put into more broad policy sections or something along those lines? Just because it feels like this page is trying to be more impressive than it is. BitterGiant (talk) 00:15, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
