Oh no, UKIP members showing there true colours yet again
Ukip has suspended one of its parliamentary candidates just two days before the general election after a video emerged in which he appears to threaten to shoot his Tory rival.
In a secret recording made as part of an investigation by the Mirror, Robert Blay, who was standing in North East Hampshire, was shown declaring that he "absolutely loathes" Conservative candidate Ranil Jayawardena.
Ukip has now apologised to Mr Jayawardena for Mr Blay's "abhorrent" remarks.
In the video, Blay said:
If he is I will personally put a bullet between his eyes.
If this lad turns up to be our Prime Minister, I will personally put a bullet in him. That’s how strong I feel about it.
I won’t have this f***** as our Prime Minister. I absolutely loathe him.
He also goes on to claim Mr Jayawardena was not "British enough" to stand for MP as his family only moved to the UK in the 70s, and said of the constituency - widely considered a safe Tory seat: "I've always said in my constituency you could put a monkey out there with a blue rosette on and it would win."
What a clown
