Ukipwatch don't want to be identified anymore, and Chip may have hit the nail on the head re the Hain issues.

The secretive little darlings have decided to use the 'private domain services' of register.com. domaindiscreet.com is an anonymising service; the admin address details resolve to a business sector on Willow Street, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.:-)

So much for transparency!!! :-)

1. THE SERVICES
   
   If you subscribe to the Private Registration Services, each domain name registration which you control and which you designate (the "Private Registration Domains") will be registered in the name of DomainDiscreet.com, as registrant. Your name, postal address, email address, phone and fax numbers shall be kept confidential, subject to Section 6 of this Agreement. The following information (and not your personal information) will be made publicly available in the "Whois" directory, as required by ICANN policy, for each Private Registration Domain:
   
   
   • An email address, postal address and phone and facsimile number for the registrant, administrative, technical, and billing contacts ("Private Registration Addresses" of Domaindiscreet.com);
   • The primary and secondary domain name servers you designate for the Private Registration Domain(s);
   • The Private Registration Domain's original date of registration and expiration date;
   • The identity of your registrar
   • A disclaimer referring to IP and law enforcement inquiries and identified contacts
2. RETENTION OF RIGHTS TO THE DOMAIN NAME
   
   While you will not be listed as the registrant for the Private Registration Domains, other than as described in this Agreement, DomainDiscreet.com will not act to use, modify, or control the Private Registration Domain(s). Subject to all the other terms of this Addendum and the Services Agreement, you will retain abilities of a domain name registrant, including
   
   
   • the ability to transfer, or assign each Private Registration Domain;
   • the ability to manage the use of each Private Registration Domain(s), including the DNS settings to which each domain name points;
   • the ability to cancel each Private Registration Domain
   • the ability to renew each Private Registration Domain upon expiration (subject to Register.com's applicable rules and policies);
   • the ability to cancel your Private Registration Services so that you are listed as the Registrant; and
   • the ability to initially resolve any and all monetary, creditor or other legal claims that arise in connection with your Private Registration Domain(s), subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
   
   IMPORTANT: THE PRIVATE REGISTRATION SERVICES ARE NOT A GENERAL MAIL FORWARDING SERVICE. You agree that you will not provide any third party with the Private Registration Addresses for the purpose of having such third party transmit communications to you through Register.com. Third parties may obtain the Private Registration Addresses listed in the Whois directory by their own initiative, but you agree that you will not be the one to provide the Private Registration Addresses to such third parties.
   
   
3. ....
   
4. TERM OF SERVICES
   
   Private Registration Services shall be renewed only in increments of one year. If the term of a domain name registration expires prior to the end of the term of the Private Registration Services, the Private Registration Services will automatically terminate. You understand that there will be no refund for any resulting unused portion of a Private Registration Services term.
   
   If the Private Registration Service expires before the end of the domain name registration term while the registration term the Personal Whois Data will be listed in the WHOIS record and the communications forwarding services specified in section 7 will no longer be provided.
   
   
5. REPRESENTATIONS & WARRANTIES
   
   You represent and warrant that all information provided by you pursuant to this Agreement is truthful, complete, current and accurate and you represent and warrant that you will maintain all information in this status throughout the term of this Agreement. You also represent and warrant that you are using the Private Registration Services in good faith and that you have no knowledge or reason to believe that Private Registration Domain or the content found at any associated IP address infringes upon or conflicts with the legal rights of any third party, including, without limitation, any third party's copyrights, patents, trademarks or trade names. You also warrant that neither the Private Registration Services nor Private Registration Domain(s) will be used in connection with any illegal or morally objectionable activity (including, without limitation, as defined below in section 6), or, in connection with the transmission of unsolicited commercial email ("spam").
   
   
6. REGISTER.COM'S SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SERVICE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
   
   You understand and agree that the Register.com has the absolute right and power, in its sole discretion and without any liability to you whatsoever, to immediately suspend or terminate the Private Registration Services, display your Personal Whois Data in the Whois record or disclose the Personal Whois Data to resolve any threatened or actual third party claims arising out of your use of the Private Registration Domain(s), or take any other action which Register.com deems necessary in the event of the following:

   • If it comes to a Register.com's attention that you are alleged to be using the Private Registration Services for purposes of engaging in, participating in, sponsoring or hiding your involvement in illegal or morally objectionable activities, including but not limited to, activities which are designed, intended to or otherwise: (i) appeal primarily to prurient interests; (ii) defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass; (iii) violate state or federal laws of the United States and/or foreign territories; (iv) involve hate crimes, terrorism or child pornography; (v) are tortious, vulgar, obscene, invasive of a third party's privacy, race, ethnicity, or are otherwise objectionable; (vi) impersonate the identity of a third party; (vii) harm minors in any way; or (viii) relate to or transmit viruses, Trojan Horses, access codes, backdoors, worms, time bombs or any other code, routine, mechanism, device or item that corrupts, damages, impairs, interferes with, intercepts or misappropriates any software, hardware, firmware, network, system, data or personally identifiable information,
   
   In the event Register.com takes any of the actions set forth above or in the event you elect to cancel the Private Registration Services for any reason, Register.com will not refund any fees paid by you for the Private Registration Services.

The plot thickens!

Which newspaper or organisation would be interested this. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is there nothing in the USA?

Is there an angle which McCain could exploit? My feeling (in the absence of information I put it no better than that) is that most Republicans can see how useless the EU is and how important EU Members (ie Germany and France) are defaulting on their NATO commitments in Afghanistan, and do not relish the prospect of Lil' ol Engerland being swallowed in the EU's maw!

Here, the best bet seems to be the Mail.

Chip, I have contacts in a number of papers and will be sorting something out tomorrow.
[Rep]

Thank you Aardvark and every one else.

It could be very interesting.

Monitor UKIPwatch. The last post was 30th January. We need to look for the next update that matches this list:

(ii) defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, or harass

That will be the opportunity to 'out' UKIPwatch to register.com
[Rep]

I think they have chickened out. Nothing for 7 days.
[Rep]

They also watch here - we're nicknamed 'Loonies Letterbox'. If they think we're about to hit them then they might bottle it. Don't think they'll be able to stick with domaindiscreet for too long if everyone knows who they are anyway.
[Rep]

They are back on board with an article yesterday. Mumbo Jumbo speak.
