Letters to the Editor
I WOULD like to thank all those that stayed committed to Ukip in the face of an onslaught to diminish the party.
We, like the other smaller parties, suffer from lack of resources and financial support but nevertheless we get out there with our loyal and dedicated supporters.
Ukip is relevant and necessary for a healthy democracy. So thank you to all who decided to back Ukip and myself in particular in Redcar.
Chris Gallacher, Chairman and PPC, Ukip, Redcar
