The following letter was published in the Yorkshire Post on 27 November 2013.
YORKSHIRE tycoon Paul Sykes has pledged to do "whatever it takes" to ensure that anti-Brussels Ukip tops the poll in 2014 (Tom Richmond, Yorkshire Post, November 23).
Mr Sykes, one of Britain's wealthiest businessmen, gave Ukip £1.5m in 2004.
It is not clear what he hopes to achieve, since it is obvious to anyone who gives it a little thought that
Ukip will never be in a position to take the UK out of the EU.
The peripheral Celtic countries will not allow it.
As an Englishman he should throw his weight behind the English Democrats, who with their policy of seeking independence for England from both the EU and the UK have a real policy for taking England, (freed from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) out of the EU.
