How many times can UKIP leadership disown the bollocks its representatives spout?

The 'best' one so far is their Commonwealth Spokesman ....... served seven years in a UK prison for kidnapping a Pakistani politician, then claimed political asylum when released because his life would be at risk if he went back home! Of course he was allowed to stay.

kidnap

UKIP say he's now defected to the Tories grin

There wouldn't be much left of Ukip if they disowned everyone who spouted bollocks, Penstemmon.

The 'Commonwealth Spokesman' was probably their 'token immigrant'! I believe he was previously in the Tory party before he joined UKIP and has now returned to the fold - and been accepted!

Brilliant. I think all men should sign a code of conduct that promises they will not be violent or denigrate women in any way. That will sort em.

Re the token - he should start a club with the good Baroness, she who sits on the cabinet without actually having a job.
