Graham Wood writes: Have just heard this very sad news after being out of the UK for several weeks.  I join with all others who have expressed their sadness at the passing of this stalwart and dedicated patriot.  She, and her SOS will be greatly missed, as well as her always cheerful and realistic approach to the worst of news from the evil empire.  May we emulate her fine example, and continue to fight for the cause close to her heart  and ours - the return of freedom to our people.

John Gouriet writes: The news of Pam Barden's death as a result of a coronary thrombosis peacefully in her sleep on 12th September at the comparatively early age of 71, following as it has on the heels of Bob Sims's equally youthful demise, will be a shock to all who knew her and those who didn't but who share her devotion to her country and the cause of freedom.  Pam was one of those rare and indefatigable people who feared naught and did much. She laboured night and day to spread the ghastly truth about the European Union, on public platforms far and wide as well as through her newsletter 'SOS' (Save our Sovereignty) which we coined in the wake of Blair's first victory in 1997. She marshalled and published numerous facts that the authorities would rather have concealed. She invariably called a spade by its name. Pam will be much missed, but her example and courage will live on and remain an inspiration to all of us as we continue to fight for the restoration of our birthright of liberty.

Anne Palmer writes: I am so very sorry to learn of the death of Pam Barden, she was a real feisty fighter.  I only met her once and listened to her passionate speech on the Regions at a UKIP meeting.  She was a lovely inspiring lady and her knowledge on her subject of Regions of the European Union was vast.  I too received her "Save our Sovereignty" newsletter and she was on my list for sending out any information that might have been of use to her.  I count myself lucky to have met her and fortunate indeed to have seen in her the determination to give her all to the truth, and to tell that truth to as many people that she came across.  To meet such a very special person, as indeed she was, is a privilege I shall treasure and she certainly made my life all the richer for having met her.  She will be greatly missed by many people.

Derek Bennett writes: During the long history of the British Isles, from time to time a fearless woman has risen to defend this land at times of need.  Bodecia, rose to fight the Romans, Queen Elizabeth I defended us against the Spanish and helped to make the nation a global power.  In later years ordinary women have risen to fight for what they believed in such as Emily Pankhurst who helped women to get the vote, Mary Whitehouse who stood resolute against the decline in broadcasting standards and even Margaret Thatcher who became Britain's first woman Prime Minister.  One such woman who rose was the well known and much respected stalwart campaigner against EU federalism and domination was Pam Barden.  A normal mum who was the sort of lady you would expect to see shopping in the supermarket, whose extraordinary talents surprised many who heard her speak for the first time.  When she spoke at public meetings and rallies, she could stir an audience as effectively as any professional politician.  Her speeches were a revaluation.  They were always factual, full of information and entertaining despite the underlying anger she obviously felt and kept under control regarding the outrage being inflicted upon the UK by the EU and its Quisling supporters.  As a past UKIP conference organiser it was my privilege to invite Pam to speak at one of our conferences in the Motor Cycle Museum in Birmingham, she received a standing ovation.  Because of her loss, she will not just leave a hole in our campaign, she will leave a chasm which will be impossible to fill.
