'UKIP MEP defects to the Tories: Shock as former business spokesman says party is 'pointless' and 'racist'... as Farage's PR chief admits: 'We are a party for bigots'
Wow. Did not expect that!

OK... I lied. Our media running true to poor form as usual.

A Nation excelling at getting far too many things quite simply wrong.

Good riddance it seems we don't want problems like Rotherham in UKIP.

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/01/24/ukip-me...

A statement on UKIP’s website says: “Mr Bashir has been informed of the specifics of the investigations which include unanswered financial and employment questions, interference with UKIP candidate selection processes and a continued affiliation with Mujeeb Bhutto, despite the party’s protests against Mr Bhutto’s involvement with Mr Bashir or UKIP.”

Mujeeb Bhutto is a former UKIP activist who was revealed to be the former leader of a Pakistani kidnapping gang.

Conservatives are welcome to him.

I seem to remember NF being asked if UKIP were racist and his response was "We're not racist. Amjad? Where's Amjad?", as if he was some kind of "anti-racist" badge biggrin
can you provide the link for your so called 'quote' as google cannot.

"We're not racist. Amjad? Where's Amjad?",
I can't find the video (that I too have seen), but Faragr's words are transcribed in this article.
Ah OK, managed to penetrate the Telegraph paywall.
The sketch writer article does seem to say that but NOT as 'some kind of "anti-racist" badge ' but perhaps because he was, as the sketch writer says, 'the only non white face I spotted ...on stage'

Please drop the pejorative racist language.
pejorative ? well, I mean to express disapproval.

racist? what the hell do you mean?

do you think saying 'please' excuses the rest?
I'm Romani. You know this and decide to throw slurs around.

Are you tired? Kippers seem to get a bit racist when they're sleepy or on pain killers or whatever. The mask slips and they say what they really mean.

What a remarkable coincidence that UKIP should become aware/concerned about all these things at the same time.
For example the employment issue presumably relates to his restauant. They've had 6 months to investigate that. Whereas the candidate selction process was this week, so they've investigated that quickly - though failed to notice that Bashir isn't actually mentioned in the e-mails.

And the Bhutto thing goes back a year.

Yet they all come to a head this week. Amazing coincidence

You seem very clued up on this more so the average reader.

But who cares you are welcome to him his presence in the party most certainly put off some potential supporters.

Just redressing the bias shown by the repeated bias of a few Kippers in repeating the UKIP position which does seem to have more than a few holes, and getting more since that is the first time they have said he was expelled for all of those things. UKIP and Farage are not showing any interest in filling those holes so I am getting more suspicious.

And Jogon. the only info on this I have comes from the BBC, google and what has been posted here (noticeably by Steve350s link to those e-mails which are incredibly interesting).

well, not exactly

you say 'What a remarkable coincidence that UKIP should become aware/concerned about all these things at the same time. '
But this isn't true. It was not at the same time was it.

I don't have any extra inside information on the circumstances, however, a couple of points that suggest ukip may be telling the truth and one that's negative.

Conservatives and BBC both reporting that this was pre planned defection, however Bashirs Cameron bashing tweets (posted as little as two days ago now) were only being deleted in the early hours of this morning as UKIP started retweeting them. Seems to suggest this wasn't a coordinated effort. Secondly Bashirs interview with BBC5live got cancelled by Conservative Central Office this morning. If they were absolutely thrilled and not opportunistic yesterday they should be milking it for all its worth.

The extra information about the accusations from UKIPS is quite negative for me because it suggests that they are terrified of calling out a bad candidate from an ethnic minority... we've had this before with Winston and the lady candidate who made false claims about sexual harassment. Ukip need to be honest and make equality count, this reinforces the need for them to ensure that positive discrimination doesn't embaress them.

Exactly - why would accusations of financial irregularity and possible interference in hustings put anyone off a party with the conservatives track record of duck pond MPs and disgraced ministers who get a cooling off period before being welcomed back to the fold!

More insults and zero apologies. Imagine my surprise.

You treat people as you find them?

So if I was black you'd call me a ?
Indian and you'd call me a ?
Chinese and you'd call me a chinky?
Jewish and you'd call me a Yid?

You're a bigoted prick. I've reported your posts and it's up to the mods how you're dealt with now.

you are now upsetting me.
I said I had no idea of your forbears and it makes no difference as I don't care about such things, only about what you write

I rather suspect the mods will be dealing with you rather than me.

Maybe if you had looked up "Fellow traveller" like it was suggested. Here, I did the hard work for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellow_traveller

We have a woooshh parrot on PH, I think you're doing a good job on being the PH parrot that spouts "racist" every time you speak.
