"#ThanetRigged: Thanet South 'Fraud' Probe In Seat Where Nigel Farage Was Defeated In The General Election
...
Police are looking into an allegation of electoral fraud in Thanet South, the seat which Ukip's Nigel Farage failed to win on Thursday night.

Mr Farage lost out in the General Election to the Conservatives' Craig Mackinlay who racked up 18,838 votes to Mr Farage's 16,026.

Claims of suspicious behaviour surfaced following a lengthy delay in declaring the seat's results at Margate's Winter Gardens."

This story seems something about nothing? Kent Police (yehaa!) are investigating a fraud but think it's all alright really?

Farage said he would resign and he did. He didn't say for how long he would resign, and when the party implored him to continue, he decided he would once again put his own wishes second and put serving the people first.

'Investigating fraud,' but 'no electoral fraud', hmmmm.

I know, its the Fraud Squad investigating Farage's cast iron pledge to resign if he lost.

"They won't LET me resign" ... from the the ex City man who stated "I'm a man of my word"......what a pussy.

Nothing to do with me. I'm not even on twitter, so this is the first I have heard of it.

Are you 'fessing up Claig?

Apparently not UKIP's complaint, I wonder who's?
