UKIP: Angry God Causes Twitterstorm

David Silvester, a UKIP councillor for Henley on Thames has claimed that he warned David Cameron that allowing gay couples to marry would lead to flooding and that the Prime Minister ignored him.

Mr Silvester defected to UKIP from the Conservatives in 2012 in opposition to same-sex marriage.

Now in a letter to his local newspaper, the Henley Standard, following flooding in parts of the UK over Christmas and the new year, Mr Silvester has put the blame on same-sex marriage...

Pink News.

This cutting is currently ripping up the Twittersphere.

Ludicrous and extremely minor politician with obnoxious bigoted views says something ludicrous, bigoted and obnoxious shock!

Can we not just deny old jokes like this the oxygen of publicity?

Ideally by putting a plastic bag over their heads.
