The other week I revealed that Peter Baden had resigned as chairman of UKIP Corby and East Northants. See LINK
It has now emerged that Don Ransom - Derek Clark’s regional organiser - has been appointed their new branch chairman by UKIP HQ. In an astonishing display of arrogance this was done without anyone at UKIP HQ bothering to consult the committee of that branch!
Needless to say they are outraged and have refused to accept him as their chairman.
I should also add that last year Ransom (pictured above with Steve Allison) was reported to the Police for assaulting Ian Gilman - a UKIP member and former East Midlands MEP candidate.
Mr Gilman’s statement now forms part of a file that has been passed to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Derek Clark is under investigation by OLAF - the EU’s anti-fraud office.
Derek Clark OLAF Case Number: D/007/033/04.09.08
Derek Clark OLAF Investigation Number: DD/FD-D2008.A1/7133/OF/2008/0240
Is Derek Clark - a man accused of fraud - the sort of person you want representing Great Britain for another five years?
