It was only reading the latest issue of Freedom Today, the journal of the Freedom Association, that I was sorry to learn that Roger Helmer MEP recently stepped down as its Honorary Chairman "on doctor's orders".
He had served in that role since April 2007, during which time the TFA - under the energetic directorship of Simon Richards - has grown and been thriving as a campaigning organisation.
Simon said:
"It was with great regret that we accepted Roger's resignation and I would like to thank him for the superb work he has done on our behalf. It has been an immense pleasure to work with a man so committed to freedom in so many areas."
Roger is replaced as Hon Chairman by Professor Tim Congdon, who was last year defeated for the UKIP leadership, although he will remain on the TFA Council.
