From the Daily Mail:
'I'm not racist', says UKIP candidate: Election hopeful, 22, caught on camera making alleged Nazi salute
Alex Wood, 22, is standing in council elections in Somerset
Claims account was hacked and denies making racist comments
Pictures emerged clenching knife between teeth in front of Union Flag
Denied making Nazi salute and comments that Africans 'lived in mud huts'
UKIP leader Nigel Farage admits it 'doesn't look very pretty'
Refers to 'coloured people' in radio interview rejecting claims of racism
Investigation into candidate who said exercise can 'prevent' homosexuality
A UK Independence Party election candidate has been suspended from the party after being caught on camera apparently making a Nazi salute – bringing further scandal to the party ahead of Thursday’s local elections.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage admitted the latest revelations about members 'doesn't look very pretty' as he was again forced on to the back foot over the failure to vet people standing in this week's local elections.
The latest photo to emerge is of Alex Wood, candidate for Blackmore Vale in Somerset, which was posted on Facebook, along with racist comments. In another picture, part of a series of images, the 22-year-old clenches a knife between his teeth against a backdrop of the Union Flag.
UKIP said Mr Wood's party membership 'was suspended pending the police investigation' after pictures and comments emerged online.
Comments saying that Africans ‘lived in mud huts’ and ‘kill each other’ also appeared under his name on the Facebook page, but he told the Mail last night that he ‘categorically denies’ posting them.
He said: ‘My account has been hijacked – by that I mean someone, somehow, has gained access to my Facebook and posted personal pictures of me without me knowing.
'Claims that I am a racist are categorically untrue and all comments of a racist nature on Facebook were not posted by me.’
A string of revelations about UKIP candidates have dogged the party ahead of Thursday's elections.
It also emerged that John Sullivan, a UKIP candidate in Gloucestershire, is alleged to have made the homophobic comments on Facebook.
He is said to have claimed that regular exercise 'prevents' children from 'becoming' gay.
*****************************************************
Why are Nazis such bad liars? His account was hacked? He was reaching for a camera? Who would believe that garbage?
Huffo has quotes that remove all doubt, we're hoping for screencaptures from Facebook users soon:
**************************
According to the Daily Mirror, one comment attributed to Wood said people should vote Ukip to stop the UK "ending up like Africa or some third world trash can".
Another message read: "I mean just look at the mud huts they live in and how they all kill each other. It’s quite barbaric."
The 22-year-old has claimed his Facebook account was "hijacked". Ukip have suspended Wood "pending the police investigation".
***************************
Okay, we'll make a deal with Wood: if the police can confirm his Facebook account was hacked and he didn't make those comments, we'll remove this:

No you're not. For instance, if someone was saying that they aren't racist, but they are annoyed/jealous/inquisitive and then states a Demographic FACT based on real statistics, then that isn't racist.
An example might be:
"I'm not racist but, it annoys me that so many immigrants are coming to this country."
How is that different to:
"I'm not in a hurry, but it annoys me that so many people are so slow in the supermarket"
They are both facts. They are both annoying to certain groups of people. They are not discriminating someone based on their race.

How easy is it to manipulate and image without even touching it merely by the suggestion that it represents something else?
Very easy - all you need are words and gullible minds.
How easy is it to hack a faceache account?
Very easy - I could demonstrate it to any of you in under 10 minutes.
Mud sticks, as do the easy accusations of racism designed to damage political careers.
It is very sad to see professional[sic] left leaning liberals indulge in this kind of school yard propaganda - yet very common also.
... and who benefits?
Obviously a government that took a beating at the polls and is desperate not to allow a representative democratic vote on the important issue of whether we continue to allow an un-elected committee of euro technocrats to interfere in our democratic processes.
Irritant
