Derek Bennett, who apparently holds the post of chairman of Walsall UKIP, persists with his diabolical and pathetic crusade against the European Union and Malta's political decision that was democratically taken by the citizens of these islands through a referendum and eventually endorsed by a general election.
He knows all this as he had tried his utmost to scare the Maltese electorate at the time, with a number of fables and spin. Despite his more than obvious obsession and efforts he had failed miserably then. Nevertheless he still continues with his old hobby horse!
Not surprisingly he has now criticised Malta's formal application to join the eurozone and predicts the usual doom, simply because of a change in currency. Conveniently he forgets that the euro is the strongest currency in the world and offers a number of advantages to the local economy.
Mr Bennett, whose party advocates withdrawal from the EU, even goes at length to criticise the slogan chosen by the EU to mark the 50th anniversary of its existence instead of focusing his attention on the serious problems currently facing the UKIP, especially with the discontent about Nigel Farage's leadership, or the accusation by the disabled Jack Biggs, 65, who claims that the UKIP dumped him as a council candidate simply because he "has false knees".
Shouldn't he be disturbed by the story appearing in a serious broadsheet regarding a pending split within the party as three of the UKIP's 10 MEPs are on the verge of walking out of the beleaguered organisation?
Instead of indulging in his usual pet hate scribbles, Mr Bennett should be contemplating on the current serious accusation by the UK Electoral Commission of his party breaking the law by accepting an "impermissible" donation by a retired bookmaker, a certain Alan Brown, who claims that he has given the party more than £1 million in recent years.
Unfortunately, the correspondent from the Midlands has still to understand that our administrators are more than capable of managing our affairs and political policies. Otherwise, he would not continue with his trivial but boring contributions.
Mr Bennett should heed my previous advice and give us a break and make space.
