It truly beggars the mind that people could post something like that on social media in this day and age. How utterly thick would you have to be to hold such an opinion in the first place, still less to broadcast it to the nation?
Leaving that aside bigmo, he will no longer be allowed to stand for UKIP, or represent them in any way. It's not like the UKIP National Executive have just said 'boys will be boys' or some such and allowed him to remain in the party. UKIP are still the only party who have any plans to restrict immigration, and still the only party who wish to remove the millstone that is the EU from around our necks. If these aims are dear to your heart, then removing your support from the only party that espouses them can not be the way forward imo. |

UKIP only do well because Farage stands about amongst the wooden career politicians. However, the majority of UKIP candidates do not stand up to scrutiny. Fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists is putting in mildly. Anyone who thinks big business and the establishment will allow the UK to restrict immigration to the levels UKIP want and allow the UK to leave the EU is probably better off running a cake stall. It will not be allowed to happen and I await the u-turns from the Tories, their financial backers and the Tory press with great relish. The British people are going to be squeezed until the pips squeak!

btw, the accusation that anyone against UKIP is somehow a supporter of paedophilia is not just limited to internet forum nutters. It was also used by UKIP candidates during the election.

Stranger place Britain he is expected to resign for his comments yet Cameron and Co stand back and do nothing, while another 330000 come here. Yet he keeps his job?

Labours likely new leader hasnt got a good record on acting against paedophiles in his own constituency. worrying for a potential PM although to be fair theres plenty else to worry about in his case.

'potential' PM - should be in VERY small font. He won't be.

Dotchinite, that incident in Islington never seemed to do much harm to the career of Margaret Hodge, who was director of Children's Services at the time in the borough.

Indeed facts even a small chance an idiot that wants to adopt zimbabwes monetary policy could be PM should cause any sane person worry.

jed.davison the problem I'm having with them and it's been niggling away for a long time is the amount of nutters they seem to allow to get in the party.
Every time there's a headline like that they must lose thousands of potential votes.For all the decent ones in the party most will remember this nutter even though they've got rid of him. |

Bigmo, of course they attract nutters, all parties do. For confirmation of this, look at the amount of people who will vote for Jeremy Corbyn to be Labour Leader. While it may be distasteful to read about the off antediluvian fruitcake who represents UKIP, they don't represent a clear and present danger to Great Britain in the same way that Corbyn does.
What you should remember however, is that despite the national press - left and right - attacking them from all sides, relentlessly, in the build-up to the General Election, they still attracted 4m votes. Only the vagaries of the system stopped them from gaining a sizeable Commons presence. I don't believe this kind of incident costs them anywhere near as many votes as the trampling of the democratic wishes of the Greek people, the continuing rise in net migration figures and the chaos at Calais and the inability, in fact unwillingness, of our Government to do anything about it gains them. |

Bigmo,do wakeup and understand that these sensationalist stories are planted by the big 2 parties to marginalise and discredit UKIP in the run up to the EU referendum by which time they hope to have a free run at the Yes vote. I have heard similar views expressed by some in my local workmens club,unpleasant but often spoken more in frustration at our politicians ineptitude to address immigration mubers than a true sentiment.
