LEN Bayne's suggestion in his that UKIP is dead in Fenland could not be further from the truth.

Mr Baynes may have felt life in UKIP being a little uncomfortable recently because his best friend - Tom Wise MEP has had the Whip Withdrawn and has been forced to sit as an Independent MEP.

This is because UKIP does not tolerate fraud - EU fraud is the whole point of what our Party is opposed to.

Since Mr Baynes could not see this, his departure from UKIP is probably a case of jumping before the members pushed him.

It is not the best of starts for Mr Bayne's new Party which was launched in the East of England by Peter Cole - Paid office manager for Tom Wise - Independent MEP who is currently on bail for fraud.
