Sir - I have just read an email sent out by UKIP West Midlands Office .

It seems that those people running the office are deluding themselves and also misleading their own members . In the email they say that they are on the threshold of winning a third West Midlands MEP . The fact is they do not have a single West Midland MEP . Mike Nattrass and Nickie Sinclare both resigned from UKIP because of the behaviour of Nigel Farage .

Just over a year ago I resigned as Chairman of the Worcester and District branch of UKIP when I realised that the party members were being deceived into believing that Farage was fighting for them , he is not , he is fighting for himself . The vast majority of UKIP members are excellent people but I feel sorry for them because they are being taken in by the Farage hype . These people should ask themselves why is it that so many UKIP councillors and candidates are resigning from that party . The reason is that they have seen through the Farage/UKIP smokescreen and are now joining An Independence from Europe , a party led by Mike Nattress MEP a most determined anti EU spokesman and someone that can be trusted .

The Worcester News has now informed us of yet another UKIP Councillor resigning from that party , namely Worcestershire County Councillor Martin Jenkins . I am pleased that he has seen the light
