Vote Ukip: Get A Homophobic Racist

Via Hope Not Hate.

Though their delve through his Twitter account reveals the charming Mr Harris is far more concerned about 'fucking Muslims'.

Update: He later told The Independent; "I’m absolutely disgusted. My account has been hacked – again. You know what Facebook is like.

"I wouldn’t say anything about gay people because I have a gay son. I’ve got lots of Asian friends. I never said any of this."

It's not unpossible.

BNP/UKIP: Gay Bigots Left Reeling After Finding Out Their Bigoted Parties Are Riddled With Bigots

There has never been many openly gay members of the BNP, probably due to the huge amount of hatred and homophobia that exists within the BNP.
However, in recent years one gay BNP activist has emerged as a kind of unofficial spokesman for the small gay community within the British National Party.
Joshua Wren from Swansea has never hidden his sexuality from his fellow bigots in the BNP but now it seems the hatred directed towards him and the gay community has reached a point where even he can no longer stay within the party.
We have obtained a copy of a letter he penned yesterday to the BNP membership department announcing his immediate resignation from the party.
I reproduce the text in full [here]...

Ukip youth leader Olly Neville sacked for supporting gay marriage 

The leader of Ukip’s youth organisation has been stripped of his post by the party leadership, after expressing his support for gay marriage on national radio.

Olly Neville, who was appointed as chairman of Young Independence (YI) at the end of last year, was told by the party’s chairman that comments in support of gay marriage were “completely at odds with the party’s policy” and risked “seriously setting back the party’s current growth”...

The Independent.

As ever there's clearly more to this than meets the eye, but less than you can see.
Internecine party feuds are rarely about what they're said to be about. *
But anyway, I don't want to sound like a bigot, but I think anyone called "Joshua" or "Olly" sounds like a posh twat who should be taken out and shot.

* Edit: Apparently Olly is quite mad. Here's a piece he wrote called I Agree With Nick Griffin.

Update: Another right-wing careerist gayer wades in. Oh, give us guns.

Pastor Terry Jones: The Wrong Kind Of Bigot

Bigoted nutter magnet, the English Defence League, claim they have now withdrawn their invitation to bigoted American Christian nutter, pastor Terry Jones, to speak at a rally in Luton.
'A far-right group has shelved plans for the US preacher who ­threatened to burn copies of the Koran to speak at their rally – as he is “too racist and homophobic”' according to the Mirror.
Fagburn is loving that "too..."
It seems to be an invention of the Mirror though, and the "homophobic and racist" quote that appears in most papers today, such as The Guardian, does not appear in the EDL's public statement on their website.
The relevant passage is a bit less direct; "...we still have some reservations about Pastor Jones and we do not agree with all of his opinions or indeed all he stands for.
"The EDL is extremely proud of its diverse support base including it’s primary base of geographical divisions from all across England encompassing much ethnic diversity. In addition we have specific divisions drawn from groups particularly threatened by encroaching Sharia: a Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) Division [There is no evidence of such a "division" existing - Fagburn]; a Jewish Division and recently a Pakistani Christian Division. The EDL also enjoys the active participation and support of many former members of the Armed Forces. In light of our strong commitment to these groups and some of the Pastor’s statements and associations, we feel it inappropriate to offer Pastor Terry Jones an invitation to attend an EDL demonstration."
The admirable anti-fascist group Hope Not Hate point out; "Of course this is all complete nonsense. The original EDL posting last week claimed they were “proud to announce” his visit. In interviews over the weekend it was clear that Pastor Jones knew very little about the EDL and that he had accepted their invitation to come over.
"In truth, the EDL was forced to backtrack because the media took up our campaign and shone the spotlight onto his cranky and extremist views. Under pressure from some of its own members, the EDL leadership eventually realised that the crazy Pastor was even too extreme for them and would quickly become an embarrassment."
And if the EDL think you're embarrassing...
