Miranda Richardson, Sky News Online
UKIP candidate Nigel Farage has had a miraculous escape after being pulled from the wrecked cockpit of a light aircraft on the morning of the General Election.
Mr Farage, who is contesting Speaker John Bercow's seat in Buckingham, was dragged from the smashed aircraft with his face covered in blood.
It is thought the small plane got into difficulty after getting tangled in a Vote UKIP banner it had been towing.
Mr Farage, an MEP and a former UKIP leader, was taken to Horton General Hospital in Banbury, Oxfordshire, but has since been transferred to the John Radcliffe Infirmary for checks on a possible chest injury.
The pilot of the aircraft was airlifted to a hospital in Coventry.
The plane had been due to fly over the counties of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Nigel Farage on the campaign trail
Northants Police told Sky News the crash happened 10 minutes after take-off at 8am this morning at Hinton-in-the-Hedges airfield near Brackley in south Northamptonshire.
A UKIP spokesman said: "We've had unconfirmed reports that either the banner got snagged up or there were cross-winds and it was unfamiliar airfield to the pilot, who had to be cut out of the plane."
Mr Farage suffered "minor head injuries" but campaigners had been told to "carry on", he said.
The spokesman said he was being observed by doctors, who want to keep him there for the rest of the afternoon under observation.
"I doubt he's going to be there for results," the spokesman said.
Mr Farage, who is MEP for the South East region of England, announced last year that he would contest Speaker Bercow's seat in this election.
"He (Mr Bercow) was embroiled in the expenses saga and he presides over a Parliament that virtually does nothing," he said at the time.
"He is not a Conservative and yet he is sitting in one of the safest Conservative seats in the country.
"It means the people of Buckingham cannot vote for a Conservative even if they want to."
None of the main three political parties is fielding a candidate in the Buckingham constituency in keeping with convention of allowing the Speaker to return to Parliament uncontested. _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

UKIP still managed to get around 1million votes. If some form of PR comes into place they will have parliamentary representation.
If they continue to have posters which state openly STOP MASS IMMIGRATION they may go they same way as the Dutch politician. This was a warning shot or an attempt either which way next time round it may be fatal....

The photos certainly showed how concerned the media were. Lets get the photos of him in the wreckage before we try and help! The report i read said the pilot and Farage knew for about 5 mins they were going to have a crash landing as the plane was nose diving each time they circled. Surprised there's no video of the crash the photographers got there quick.
Definitely a conspiracy as the plane was upturned reminiscent of those cars at the WTC _________________ JO911B.

Not sure whether the implication here is that the NWO wanted Farage dead because he opposed their "mass immigration" plot to destroy British identity. If so, firstly, it is bizarre that English people talk of British identity. They seem to know nothing about other countries in the UK.
Secondly, if the Farage crash was a NWO plot, it is more likely the reason behind it was the EU. To stop migration from Poland the UK would have to leave the EU.

Cheers for being the first person to opine thus, redadare, on the internet, where I have stated that fact, -surprisingly, - I expected a lot more people to express a similar opinion
First - Ukip is not racist, although much media propaganda would have it so. It is pro UK integrity and opposed to the New Labour planning to deliberately and fundamentally change the nature of British society and "flood the right with diversity" (Andrew Neather)
It is primarily opposed to the EU, whose constitution meant that large numbers of (white) Europeans, often young men from Eastern Europe poured in accepting jobs at very low rates of pay, to the detriment of those already living here. That influx may have been stifled by the premeditated economic collapse, but may take off again when Turkey is accepted into the EU
Ukip's position is the loss of sovreignty and right to self rule, and the loss of national character created under EU regulation, (dictated by the Bilderbergers and the like), where universal homegeneity is created under the guise of diversity
Immigrant populations are grossly exploited as much as the indigenous (black, brown and white) population
That's roughly the grounds I stood in local elections
There's large parts of the Ukip manifesto I could in no way defend
For instance, replace Trident with four british built submarines carrying american missiles - I say scrap British nuclear weapons
The manifesto says build double the number of prison places (what thru PFI?) and end early ending of sentences - I say legalise recreational drugs in a controlled way, and tax them, which would halve the prison population and raise a very tidy sum towards the deficit
On the latter point, I caught Lord Pearson on Breakfast TV a week ago talking about the need to rapidly reduce the debt and deficit whilst personally I favour the Greek people's solution (general strikes and street presence), and think that Greece should have reneged on its debt, told the IMF and the bankers to piss off, and reformed its currency as the drachma
It worked for Argentina a few years ago
I have been involved in antiracist movements in the past though regard the left/right paradigm that most of them swing around as totally moribund
I put my name to a meeting in Beeston Leeds, on the 7/7 false flag operation, featuring Moazzam Begg, Annie Machon and the main man at Birmingham Central Mosque whose name I cant recall, and which was cancelled after the management of the Hamara Centre was leant on by "men in sharp suits" - Don't call me racist
Don't try and brand me, for the national election slip I voted Green as the only alternative to the LibLabCon nonsense which looks like it might end up with a Miliband/Clegg NWO EU nightmare (first time I've voted and for myself of course, in many many years - I wrote Justice for Hollie Greig along the top of the election slip)
Next time, if there is a next time, I might stand with Deek Jackson for the Landless Peasants, which is the underground version _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction

UKIP is not openly racst.
But they are ridiculous and they want MORE deregulation of the banks.
Part of the fake 'Christian' smash Britain game.
There is a tussle going on inside UKIP over race with about half that I know of against this pre 2010 election 'ban the burkah' stuff.
UKIP are mainly incompetant and IMO designed to scrape the patriotic Eurosceptics in the Tory party out of the way to get more power for city boy Cameron.

You may well be right in some ways Tony. I've nothing against fairly and openly absurd politicians - I find them preferable to slick ones.
Charles Kennedy was a politician who was apparently reasonably human,and not an epic ponerologist, and what did we get, vote Clegg, get Cameron.
I live in Bradford, and I can't recall ever seeing a burka. The niqab's fairly common, but the only British burka I've witnessed was the one supposedly used by the fleeing chapati "bomber" if I remember rightly
I'd agree with anybody who said that Pearson was installed as a vote loser, whilst the rather more charismatic and humorous Farage finds himself crunched upside down in a field _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction
Just out of interest, I've recently been informed that I must return my election expenses form by June the something on pain of a legal penalty.
Hope I didn't throw the form in a bin
Now 600+ kindly people voted for me presumably because they hate the EU, or they don't know where all those East Europeans are flooding in from (the goodly Mrs Duffy- no disrespect - a star of the campaign)
Now being naturally lazy I didn't lift a finger to campaign, so should I send in a zero return, or print out some fake invoices off my computer and no doubt be paid a pretty penny?
This politics lark is so confusing _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction

UKIP didn't gain much votes. I suspect that the City of London didn't want an anti-EU party to become more prominent. This implies that the UK is going to take a giant step towards the EU during this Parliamentary term. Perhaps Farage's plane crash was a message.
Elsewhere, I've accused UKIP for being charlatans for their stance on immigration. You only need look at government stats to see that uncontrolled immigration is relevant mainly to Australians, US citizens, New Zealanders, South Africans (white), Canadians. These groups stay in the UK in significant numbers after overstaying. This would make them the biggest illegal immigrant group. But nothing is done about it because no one cares. This would be different if they came from Third World countries.
UKIP knows this but stays silent. The figures they quote includes Australians and the figures therefore freighten people. But UKIP never talks about immigration from Australia and the like.

Paradoxically, the whole thing can be seen as a latent British Empire, Bank of England/Rothschild scam. However much the UK is apparently debased, specifically England-based holdings remain at the centre of things
Wonder if Farage has a notion of these matters. That would make him worth killing to certain interests _________________ http://www.exopolitics-leeds.co.uk/introduction

They got one million votes or thereof.
The BNP got half a million.
1.5 million people voted against mass immigration clearly.
Under PR they would have had parliamentary representation.
The vote isn't as small as you assume. The old NF at its height only ever got 200k. People underate the numbers assuming that if they ignore them they will go away.
Total far left votes were around 100k in 2001. Now they are almost zero.
So the BNP has become a national force where before it wasn't one.
UKIP in my eyes is a pro-american party wanting unity with NAFTA not the EU. So they use legitimate concerns ie the corresponding decrease between existing public services and mass immigration to promote their corporate agenda further deregulation...

The BNP on the other hand are a pro-EU party despite what they profess.
They are for the break-up of the nation states in Europe. Their first MP is a Euro MP. The irony is lost on them only because they are too dumb. A party which even professes to like Hitler in this day and age are retro-rascists, they will go the way of Lepen. Like a frog they will bloat out and then implode. They aint serious, just political chameleons, circus actors with no actual circus skills as they are 2nd rate clowns.

On immigration, the suggestion is that immigration from the white Commonwealth does not matter because they are related to British or Irish people. Indeed, Wikipedia says that 17% of Australians in Britain can claim British ancestry. UK people do not care about immigration, they only care about immigration from countries that were not partners in colonial aggression.
The analysis about South Africa plays to a white myth about the natural savagery of black people. Some people push the idea that South African blacks will do mass violence against whites and who will then become refugees. People who argue this have been learning from Adolf Hitler. This is the sort of scaremongering he would be into. If 'black savages' were going to kill 'whitey' in Africa, they would not have waited 50 years after the end of colonialism to do it.
Some may even believe that hostility to immigrants in the UK is OK because in black hostility to black immigrants in Africa leads to mass violence.
Yet, the idea that black South Africans will wait until after the World Cup to attack black immigrants is absurd. Why on Earth should they wait for the World Cup to end?
There is another absurd idea doing the rounds which is that black South Africans who want whites off the land are going to wait for the World Cup to unleash violence against white people from Europe? Why on Earth would they attack Europeans to get white South Africans off the land?
The question you have to ask is why has there not been any further anti-immigrant violence in South Africa since 2008? Or, indeed, why there has been any further mass violence in Kenya due to supposed tribal hatred?
The answer is that both were organized by the NWO to destablise those countries. South Africa was not doing the West bidding on Zimbabwe, so they got it in the neck. Indeed, Zuma said he had to reject a British idea to get South Africa to invade Zimbabwe.
The Kenyan operation was to destablise trade links with China. China was increasingly displacing the West in terms of investment in Kenya. Kenya was able to turn its back on ‘Western aid”. At that point, ‘mindless violence’ started, although we know it was planned and organized.
Similarly in Nigeria recently. Christians and Muslims live together all over West Africa without descending into violence. Yet, Muslims in Nigeria were being supported by Saudi Arabian Whabbism.
This is why this violence is intense and apparently barbaric for a short while and then goes away. They are organized by Western agents.
Many people are pretty ignorant about Zimbabwe and what led to its current situation. They should do some research before pontificating.

I dont know if you are responding to what I said or what was reported in the Guardian.
Either which way your analysis is that peoples co-exist in peace if left alone within countries. This doesnt occur in the land where no one originates from it, the USA and I would dispute the history of peaceful coexistence there (experience of Indians and Blacks).
South Africa has only been 'independent' 16years. As such it has residues of its colonial make-up: Indians, Whites (made up of Boers Dutch descendants, British descendants) Cape Malays (Malaysians) to name a few.
A small percentage of white landowners control the overwhelming amount of the most fertile land as they did in Zimbabwe. If you think the NWO ordered Lonhro out of Zimbabwe and they fund Mugabe, then no real understanding of the indigenisation process (which has always occurred in times of severe economic crisis) by peoples who have been dominated by western multinationals. You want to substitute race for class and invert reality by asserting all racial conflict is orchestrated, when it can be about serious economic issues and the pressure from below (landless peasant farmers who have been locked out of the market and therefore condemned to death)
There are no White Africans as the BBC was recently selling in a programme. There are whites living in Africa. Malema on Radio 4 (youth leader of the ANC) stated quite openly they will pass a law re-nationalising all land and putting the Anglo-American corporations in minority positions in terms of shares as they are starting to do in Zim.
Having purchased Chinese military equipment and having secured Chinese backing 'africanisation' will attack western interests in the southern hemisphere and affect all mineral prices and the corporations that control them.
That is why S Africa threw a spanner in the works over Israels ownership of nuclear weapons. The whites in southern africa whose livelihood depends on their trading relationships with western multinationals will react. But they wont be able to hold out. This time round history is not on their side.
This process also happened in the 1930's as a response to the economic crisis in Mexico with its nationalisations of foreign owned oil fields.
The pilot who was flying the plane carrying Nigel Farage when it crashed on general election day has been charged with threatening to kill the UKIP leader.
10:27AM GMT 01 Dec 2010
Justin Adams, who was at the controls of the light aircraft which crashed into a field on May 6, seriously injuring Mr Farage, has been remanded in custody.
The 45-year-old pilot has also been charged with threatening to kill the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) official who investigated the accident. It is alleged that the threats were made last week.
Adams was at the controls of the Polish-made Wilga 35A, with Mr Farage sitting alongside him, when it suddenly nosedived to earth during a party-political stunt on the morning of this year's Westminster election.
Mr Farage managed to walk from the crash scene, as pictured in graphic images from the time, while Adams was trapped in the mangled wreckage.
The seriously-injured pilot remained conscious and was later airlifted from the scene, in Hinton-on-the-Hedges, near Brackley, Northants., to hospital in Coventry.
A probe by the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) of the Department of Transport found the crash was caused by the campaign banner the plane had been trailing.
The ropes used to tow the giant slogan, reading: "Vote for your country: Vote UKIP", had become caught on the tail of the lightweight aircraft, forcing it into a dive.
Earlier the plane had had to make a number of low-level passes before it was able to collect the banner from a special harness.
Adams was brought before magistrates in Oxford and spoke only to confirm his name, age and address.
He was arrested on Sunday after calls were made to the police, alleging that on November 26 he threatened to kill Mr Farage and that on Sunday he similarly threatened CAA investigator Martin James.
The business owner, wearing a blue fleece and jeans, did not enter a plea to either charge.
He was remanded in custody and ordered to appear at Oxford Crown Court on Tuesday next week.
Adams, who had been living in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, but has since moved to the village of Buckland, Oxon, ran a firm called Sky Banners.
At the time of the crash Mr Farage, who has a fear of flying, was making a last-ditch attempt to win over voters as he fought to oust House of Commons Speaker John Bercow MP from of his Buckingham seat.
The controversial politician, who previously led UKIP from 2006 to 2009, stepped down from the role to concentrate on his campaign.
However, his supporters delivered the news to him in hospital that he had come third with only 8,401 votes.
He then resumed the leadership of the party on November 5 this year.
Following the publication of the crash report the 46-year-old said: "I think the conclusion is the best for everyone. It was an accident, there we are, these things happen in life.
"I give thanks to the fact I got through it.
"I have never liked flying – always hated it, although I have done a fair bit of it as an MEP.
"Part of the flight on May 6 was an attempt to challenge my demons. Look how that ended up."
He added: "I wish the pilot the best of luck in his recovery. I know he's had several operations and was not in a good way at all."

The pilot of the plane that crashed with Ukip leader Nigel Farage on board has appeared in court charged with threatening to kill the politician in a separate incident.
Justin Adams, 45, also faces a charge of threatening to kill an air accident official who investigated the crash, which happened on the day of the general election.
He appeared before Oxford magistrates yesterday and was remanded in custody. He spoke only to confirm his name, age and address.
Adams was arrested by Thames Valley police on Sunday at his home in Buckland, near Faringdon, Oxfordshire, after calls were made alleging that on Friday he threatened to kill Farage and that on Sunday he similarly threatened a Civil Aviation Authority investigator. He is due to appear at Oxford crown court on 7 December.
Adams was at the controls of the Polish-made Wilga 35A light aircraft which came down in Hinton-in-the-Hedges airfield in Northamptonshire. A report by the Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) found the crash was caused by the campaign banner the plane was trailing. Ropes used to tow the banner, which read "Vote for your country: Vote Ukip" had become caught on the tail of the aircraft, forcing it to nose-dive, said the report.
Farage managed to walk from the scene but suffered broken ribs, bruised lungs and facial injuries. Adams was trapped in the mangled wreckage. Seriously injured, he remained conscious and was airlifted to hospital, where he is understood to have undergone several operations.
The pilot, who recently moved to Oxfordshire from Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, ran a firm called Sky Banners.
At the time of the crash Farage was engaged in an unsuccessful attempt to oust the Commons speaker, John Bercow, from his Buckingham seat. Having led Ukip from 2006 to 2009, he had stepped down to concentrate on his election campaign but after coming third with just 8,401 votes he resumed leadership of the party on November 5.
Following publication of the crash report, the politician said: "I think the conclusion is the best for everyone. It was an accident, there we are, these things happen in life.
"I give thanks to the fact I got through it. I have never liked flying – always hated it, although I have done a fair bit of it as an MEP.

He added: "I wish the pilot the best of luck in his recovery. I know he's had several operations and was not in a good way at all." _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan.
