UKIP leader Nigel Farage admits it 'doesn't look very pretty'

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:
