Unbelievable

I am so shocked by this. Even for UKIP this is an extremely disgusting policy.

UKIP have disowned him. He is also keen on euthanesia for the over 80s. Apparently feels we can't have old folks and the disabled burdening the NHS when it's needed to save twats like him from the inevitable heart attack or dodgy prostate.......

yes I read that too - apparently everyone over 80 should receive a talk about Euthanasia

Fucking knob.

I clicked on his manifesto and when you see the first words, "I am Kentishman" you can tell what kind of "this is MY England" moron you're dealing with.

He's included a pathetic "clarification" to his statement, claiming he doesn't endorse these views, but they're suggested matters for debate in times of hardship.

Am just

and fear

What a loon. Just look at his eyes, not the face of a person with sense!

Where would he draw the line? The royal family have a history of great aunties hidden away in private hospitals - would he be the one to tell them to abort?

The speed at which UKIP leadership sought to distance themselves from this nutjob would have left Usain Bolt in the starting blocks... Can't help thinking there are a few more of his sort nodding in agreement however. Funny lot UKIP

'What a loon. Just look at his eyes, not the face of a person with sense!'

Changeforthrday, the only picture I can see is of the eminently sensible leader of UKIP, NigelFarage, who I think has said that UKIP is now teh third force on British politics. Is it his eyes that you are referring to?

He isn't the man who had these horrible views.

I think the picture of shock reflected in Nigel Farage's eyes may have been when he discovered that Gordon Brown had sold the country's gold at a knockdown price. Many people probably had a similar look of horror on that dark day.

is it too late to abort him

It's not a UKIP policy. It's a leaflet put out by a single branch. Branches make and print their own leaflets without any reference to head office.

I couldnt care less if its a policy that they beamed in from the moon.

UKIP said that he was an excellent candidate. If they can say that after reading his manifesto then it says a lot about what they believe in.

Ah, yes, eugenics - not terribly original and well discredited by our favorite villains, good old Nazis.
"Putting it out for debate" - really??

In shock at this

Claig wtf is that got to do with the price of fish. UKIP party member, representative, elected locale councillor, approved and official spokesperson (Till hurriedly dropped by those who still consider that they might be main stream.) says people with disabilities should be killed along with elderly people.

And what you think selling off the uk gold reserves equates to shock felt by people who heard this policy from a fully authorised UKIP source.??? Have a fucking word with yourself!

Calm down Leithlurker, get a grip, you are losing it bigtime. I have no eugenic racist views at all. I said that they were horrible views.

I am talking about the person shown in the photo, who is not the man with horrible views, but Nigel Farage.

I await your apology after your foulmouthed misplaced rant.

And where is the far side of fuck? Is that where you live?

Very disappointed with UKIP that he made it through as a representative for them, I wonder did they actually ask him his opinions before selection or what it involved? He is vile!!!!!

Yes it makes you wonder if they probed him for his views on anything at all. Also didn't any of them read his personal manifesto? Their checks don't seem very rigorous which doesn't inspire confidence.

Of course you don't, because what you care about is OUTRAGE and any inconvenient 'facts' which might spoil your terrifying sense of rightness are to be ignored.

UKIP said that he was an excellent candidate. If they can say that after reading his manifesto then it says a lot about what they believe in.

It says alot about your tiny grasp of reality that you come to that conclusion.

So what conclusion do you come to, flatpack?

Or would you rather just throw insults around?

Come on guys, it can't be a total shock that someone standing for election for a pretty right-wing party, holds some pretty right-wing views...can it?

No, it comes as a shock that such views are not just still held (bad enough), but publicly aired.

It is entirely one thing for a woman/family to decide that they cannot contiue a pregnancy for whatever reason, quite another to be compelled by legislation to end a pregnancy for whatever reason.

It says alot about your tiny grasp of reality that you come to that conclusion.

Its not my reality - its fact.

At 12.30pm yesterday, after all the newspaper articles had been published and attention drawn to the manifesto, UKIP issued a statement saying that although they views were his own, they still thought he made an excellent candidate for councillor.

What facts am I missing?
