In 1999 Roger Helmer was elected as the Conservative MEP for the East Midlands. He is now a member of the UK Independence Party. He has worked with several multinational companies including Procter & Gamble, National Semiconductor, Reader's Digest, Tootal Group/ Coats Viyella, and Guinness PLC. Roger has spent more than 10 years living and working abroad, mainly in south-east Asia. Roger has sat on two European Parliament committees - Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy; and Employment and Social Affairs. He is also a member of the ASEAN delegation. Roger's candid opinions on the defence of the British nation state and the protection of its sovereignty provide a strong voice for the EU-sceptic cause in the 'heart of darkness'.
