Henry Bolton: British Mass Media not even remotely interested in substance politics

Henry Bolton: British Mass Media not even remotely interested in substance politics.

As Henry Bolton, UKIPs Leader, prepares himself to make a statement this afternoon at 4:00pm in Folkestone, the British Massi Media - presumed defenders of public freedoms - are only interested in superficial issues and innuendo.

Whether his girlfriend had or hand't racist views is absolutely irrelevant. The girlfriend is now history since they have both parted company. Then was the vote of confidence and the resignation of a deputy and an aide. What has happened from a substantial point of view? Absolutely nothing. There is no discussion about policies whatsoever.

In the meantime Nigel Farage and Arron Banks are reportedly talking about new political developments. Is this news? Not at all. Nigel Farage and Arron Banks have been talking about new political developments for a very long time - in fact since right after the Referendum on the EU. I spoke with Arron Banks about plans during a business event in London a few months ago. Since then there was another leadership election in which Ann Marie Waters was not successful and left UKIP to form another political organisation called For Britain.

Scandals or pseudo scandals are what the mass media specialise on even when there are very important issues - non related to UKIP - that need to be talked about. How what is happening in UKIP right now is relevant in the grand scheme of things? Well, it isn't relevant. In the meantime, political forces are getting ready for local elections in London where Councillors are going to be elected in all London boroughs. This is what we should be talking about but attention is diverted from the main issues to talk about rubbish.
