http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40902796

Stoking the fire i would say.

Jimbuna 08-12-17 07:48 AM

The beginning of the fallout.

Quote:

A senior UKIP MEP has resigned as deputy whip in the European Parliament over support within the party for an anti-Islam campaigner.
Anne Marie Waters, who founded the Sharia Watch pressure group and has called Islam "evil", has been allowed to stand in UKIP's leadership election.
Mike Hookem said he was not prepared to "turn a blind eye" to extremism.

STEED 08-12-17 04:16 PM

^Nah, what UKIP has gone though and still here amazes even me.

Britain needs second Brexit vote to halt ‘unparalleled act of self-harm’, says David Miliband
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/poli...-a3610441.html

I will say the Government has cocked it up wasting a year and in house fighting but we have voted and we voted out. So we have to do a Northern Ireland, first vote out no good re-run second vote in job done! NO NO NO....

The country will not take another "Old Etonian" pill. And anyhow he is only leadership material for the upper crust only and not the rest of us.

Haven't spoken to David for almost three years now since he went to live in the US but I'd be really interested in listening to his viewpoint on the matter.

Nigel Farage warns party could be ‘finished’ after far-right anti-Islam campaigner is approved to stand in leadership election
