I had some years ago worked relatively closely with Malcolm Wood on
various Sovereignty & Constitutional issues - not least of which was
The
Magna Carta Society petition to The
House of Lords & subsequently to
Her Majesty The Queen.
The picture above shows Ashley Moat, who went on to be elected as a UKIP
MEP and then sadly to prison for an historic technical offence when
bankrupted by
John Major's
toadying to The EU! Barry, Lord Ashbourne as a direct descendent of one
of The barons who signed the original Magna Carta of 1215 Malcolm Wood
and I participated at The House of Lords as you can see for more details

Malcolm Wood was also an active supporter and participant in a number of
The Huntsman Political weekends which I ran from time to time.
Subsequently sadly Malcolm felt it expedient to vaulte face for the sake
of his income and actively campaign against me with baseless lies but
it must have been hard for him to let truth get in the way of his income
stream which clearly he enjoyed as he continued to work long past
rational retirement age.
Malcolm and his wife Jenny held well paid jobs in the corrupt leadership
structure of UKIP where their funded loyalty was sadly uncritical of
the antics of the leadership, which I believe to be the key to UKIP's
failure to achieve anything of note towards the aim to Leave-The-EU but a
great deal to butter the bread of a small clique and honey coat it to
boot!
Malcolm & Jenny held a series of posts at the Salisbury branch level
and went on to be the South West regional organiser for the party leader
Roger Knapman
during UKIP's most popular period with undoubtedly the greatest
successes and growth - sadly not maintained after roger Knapman's
departure and although Malcolm remained as SW Regional Organiser for
UKIP it was at the next election that he and Jenny switched to the
direct employ, managing the office of of one of the less relevant UKIP
MEPs, William Dartmouth.
During the 2010 election Malcolm took the position of Campaign Manager
for Nigel Farage and many will remember the debacle when Nigel came 3rd.
in a two horse race with a risible percentage when one considers
neither Labour nor the LibDims stood in the seat!
Malcolm did at least, at times, try to bring a degree of professionalism
to The Party which is largely absent and his chairing of UKIP meetings
was often competent if not balanced! One need only consider his
chairmanship of The SW Regional Committee as it duplicitously engineered
the departure of Dr. Eric Edmond or the collusion in the corruption of
Hugh Williams now of UKIP NEC.
Notoriously after the SW Regional Committee deselected Gawain Towler as a
candidate in the light of the public comments regarding his obscene and
lewd behaviour with his daughter, Malcolm Wood did nothing to uphold
the committee decision when Nigel Farage set aside all concepts of
decency and democracy and arbitrarily reappointed Towler!
Although not a man I
personally had a great deal of respect for, one can only feel sorry for
his wife Jenny their children and Grandchildren ,who are left behind,
when Malcolm could have been expected to spend his retirement with them,
in health and comfort, for some considerable years to come.
