English Conservatives Are Proving The Right's Racist

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has battled to contain a string of revelations about the views held by some of his candidates.

Last week he pledged to weed out ‘eccentric’ candidates who have ‘skeletons in their cupboards’, and said everyone who wanted to stand as an MP or an MEP would have to sign a charter to prove they are not extremists.

As a result all new candidates now have to make a written declaration that they have ‘never engaged in, advocated or condoned racist, violent, criminal or anti- democratic activity’.
