Now we know why this daft woman was sacked on the spot. If only UKIP had checked her out more carefully, they wouldn't be left with egg on faces now.
But how many people like here are left in the UKIP ranks ?

[naomi24]

I can't see any reference to her comments being relevant to her past history. What should they have checked?

[Zacs-Master]

UKIP are desperate for people to represent them at any level. If they introduced some sort of in depth screenins ( which is what I think you're suggesting) they may have no one left!

[mikey4444]

Its quite clear naomi. This woman should never have got past the "Are you a Loony" test, that Farage has told us so many times, is now in place. It wouldn't have been difficult to check if she was a racist, although she could have lied of course. But Farage has done the right thing and he did it quickly, which I give him credit for (!)

[mikey4444]

Zacs...we crossed in the post. Farage has told us many times that they have introduced a test, to filter people out, like this daft woman. But it seems to have failed this time.

See was a a Conservative Councillor. The warning signs were there :-)

As I said.....
There is no 'are you a loony' test as it would probably result in a party with one person in it. Some might say that by definition no one should pass such a test by default of them wanting to be in UKIP. Catch 22 scenario and all that.

Plenty, mikey is the answer to how many ijiuts there are, all the loony wing of the Tories once, wit the Hamiltons for example, but rest assured that by the time the election comes around, it will be just Farage standing there alone, like the figurehead of the nude in bed on the Good Ship Venus, oops read that as the Good Ship Britannia. All the ijiuts will have been fired by him.

After all UKIP stands for 'Unique King in Parliament....' though some would say the K = Klutz.

// "I don't know whether it's karma from a previous life //

That's what it will be.

Poor UKIP. Not only do they have to check their members, but now they have to check their previous lives.

[naomi24]

//she could have lied of course. //

Then how could they have been expected to check her and assess her accurately?

[mikey4444]

LOL DTC !

[Zacs-Master]

Over a year ago Farage promised to “professionalise” the organisation in the run up to the European elections.
In an interview with The Times Mr Farage said the party would not tolerate any more embarrassment in the run up to the May 22 MEP elections.
Mmm.

[mikey4444]

The difficulty is for Farage is that his Party attracts loony-tunes similar to this daft woman, like moths to a flame. I have made this comment before but I will make it again.......keeping control of UKIP must be akin to herding cats.

Farage has all my sympathy.

[-Talbot-]

She is refreshingly honest!

[Zacs-Master]

Or stubborn and anachronistic, depending on your viewpoint.

[mikey4444]

Or daft perhaps ?

[Zacs-Master]

'Daft' is a bit unspecific and colloquial.

[mikey4444]

Oh...all right then Zacs...stupid then !

[Gromit]

Perhaps she is still vexed because one of her slaves ran away in a previous life.

[anotheoldgit]

I wonder how many in the Labour party would be left if they operated a screening method?

Reds under the bed and all that.
