KT is aware that local elections are happening soon, this means leaflets being pushed tho letterboxes all over the country, it also means some crazy stuff, stepp forward Local UKIP candidate David Nixon with this :
and the other side :
David Cameron has been wrong on a lot of things, but it seems his comment about "fruitcakes and loonies" is pretty accurate.
KT also wonders how voting for a UKIP Councillor would have an impact on the same sex marriage legislation going through the National Parliament.....

Update : Statment from LGBTQ in
UKIP
"The
LGBTQ in UKIP committee is extremely angry and disappointed by the
comments made by a small number of UKIP local candidates, particularly
David Nixon and John Sullivan.
These candidates, who haven't
been vetted and produce their own campaign literature, have let down the
hundreds of outstanding UKIP candidates who in no way indorse the
comments made, and the Party in general.
Whilst we believe in
freedom of speech, this does not mean UKIP should therefore accommodate
people with obnoxious beliefs such as suggesting LGBTQ people are
inferior or abnormal.
We are informed by the Party that they
are thoroughly investigating each of the cases raised by the media. It
is unlikely these investigations will be concluded before Thursday.
It is our belief that these candidates should have the UKIP whip drawn
from them, and that future candidates are properly vetted and literature
officially approved before being published.
The candidates named above shall be receiving direct correspondence from us in the near future."
