Dear NEC
We all regard the posting on youtube of the video of John West’s euro-candidate selection interview as unacceptable.
It has been argued that the source of this posting may have been Annabelle Fuller, who was involved in the interview and had possession of the relevant computer records.
I have received a statement from Miss Fuller in which she denies making this posting. She does, however admit to negligence, saying that she left a laptop computer containing the file in a taxi in London around 4 July. This was returned to her some 5 days later by the taxi driver who advised her that he had, in the meantime, passed it to a third party who had inspected the files in order to identify the owner.
Miss Fuller has not been working in the UKIP press office for some weeks. I understand she has now resigned from the party and from her post as press officer.
I am disinclined to take further action.

She has been unbelievably unlucky. For the friend of a taxi driver who had found her laptop to use it to upload John West's video, rather than Farage's or another MEP's after she already made reference to it here, is phenomenally bad luck. You just couldn't make this stuff up.
It just shows that those people here who falsely asserted that a UKIP press officer might be involved need to get their facts straight first. I won't be holding my breath waiting for the apologies.
Has she resigned due to false accusations from within the party?
