That Bonehill fella is horrific, I followed what happened to Jack Monroe yesterday and it's shameful. Obviously I don't agree with a lot of her politics but she seems a really good person - fuck, even if she was a cunt she wouldn't deserve what people were saying to her.

Ukip Candidate Geoffrey Caton Called Gay People 'Arse Bandits', Denies Homophobia

A Ukip parliamentary candidate has insisted he is not homophobic, despite using the phrase "arse bandit" to refer to gay people.

In July 2013, Geoffrey Caton, who is seeking election in Wallasey on May 7, posted criticism on Facebook of the Liverpool Pride event.
 
"Liverpool pride August 3rd being an arse bandit nothing to be proud of," he wrote. Caton also posted a picture depicting same-sex marriage as a "sin".

Caton told the Liverpool Echo today that he was not homophobic but that the comment was wrong.

He said: "We are living in modern times now, times change I realise that. We have to move on with the times, I have now, and since then whatever I said obviously wasn’t right then and it’s not right now and I fully believe in being fully inclusive."

Morrissey: I nearly voted for Ukip. I like Nigel Farage a great deal

The Smiths frontman's latest outburst is not quite as bad as the time he lambasted the 'blustering jingoism' of the Olympics; or when he called the Chinese a 'subspecies'

Former Smiths frontman Morrissey has revealed that he toyed with the idea of voting for the UK Independent Party.

During an interview with Loaded, the singer said he admired the party's leader, Nigel Farage.

"I nearly voted for Ukip. I like Nigel Farage a great deal," he said.

"His views are quite logical – especially where Europe is concerned, although it was plain daft of him to applaud the lavish expense of the royal wedding at a time when working-class England were told to cut-back, shut-up and get stuffed."

But this is relatively tame stuff for the miserable Mancunian, who frequently makes headlines with acts of throwaway controversy.

Here are some of his Greatest (or rather, Worst) Hits:

  • Songs like "Suffer Little Children", which caused consternation for its mention of the Moors murderers' victims; Bengali in Platforms, which expressed strong views on immigration; English Blood Irish Heart, which saw the singer express his views on the national flag.
  • Defending Argentina's claim to the Falkland Islands
  • Talking about the Jimmy Savile abuse investigation, saying: "2013 enlightenment can’t be applied to dark and dim nights of 1972, otherwise every singer who ever slept with a 14-year-old would suddenly be behind bars – and that would take a lot of bars."
  • Describing the Chinese people as "subspecies," because of their treatment of animals.
  • Wrapping himself in the union flag while on stage in Finsbury Park, north London in 1992. The NME accused Morrissey of "flirting with disaster."
  • Telling Q Magazine that he didn't "really think, for instance, black people and white people will ever really get on or like each other."
  • Morrissey didn't quite get into the spirit of things at London 2012 saying: "I am unable to watch the Olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. Has England ever been quite so foul with patriotism?"

Using the learner response handsets in school today (like a Blackberry that sends the kids' answers to the class computer up on the smart board) in a spelling lesson, I asked the (year 6) kids to spell 'fascist' and waited for their answers. Several misspellings and a couple of corrects, but my favourites were the two kids who sent in UKIP. Ten years old and they can fucking see it.

I know a worrying amount of people who are voting ukip. One lad I know, the labour candidate knocked round and said "who are you voting for" and he said "im voting ukip" he said the guy looked a bit shocked and then said "any chance of persuading you to vote labour" he said "no there's to many bloody foreigners on this street" the labour guy just said "well as long as you don't vote tory"

 

He's a good lad and to be fair he actually is the only english person on his street, he's convinced himself it's probably the same on every stree or will bet. I've tried to convince him ukip are a joke but he's having none of it, he sees what he sees and that's enough for him. The labour guy though, Jesus Christ, principles out the window. At least my mate is slighty retarded.

He'll just have to hope that less ignorant people look after his interests for him then. Some people do need saving from themselves.
