A UKIP candidate has been deselected over his ‘nutty’ election flyer and ‘disgusting’ online comments, in which he suggested some people were ‘intended by nature’ to be slaves.

...in which he listed his two big issues as ‘old people’ and 'breastfeeding'.

In the flyer, he described women's 'real work' as 'that of the child-bearer and nurturer', saying everything else was 'inconsequential froth'.

Farage defends Ukip member over 'joke' comments

Nigel Farage has defended a party member who reportedly suggested that Muslims should have multiple wives to claim more benefits and that women should not go out to work.

Ukip's administrative manager David Challice placed an advert in the Exeter Express and Echo newspaper in 2009 claiming he had found a polygamy "money-spinner" for "cash-strapped Moslems".

He also reportedly made disparaging comments about Greek and Turkish drivers in his book, but party leader Farage dismissed them as "a joke".

Farage said people were "sick to death" of the level of political correctness in the UK, adding that some Ukip members "push the boundaries of debate because they believe in free speech".
