UKIP man faces suspension
over Twitter comments
2 May 2014 Last updated at 15:54
A UKIP local election candidate who
tweeted "Islam is evil" and that
homosexuality was an "abomination before
God" faces suspension from the party.
UKIP said it had started disciplinary
proceedings against Harry Perry, who is
standing for election in Stockport.
A UKIP spokesman said the party did not
condone or share his "crackpot" views.
The tweets came to light after Mr Perry sent
private messages to a Lib Dem candidate on
Facebook.
Lisa Smart, who is the Lib Dem general
election candidate in Hazel Grove, received
the two messages in March, before Mr Perry
had been adopted as a UKIP candidate in
the Labour-held Stockport Council ward of
Offerton for this month's local elections.
'Divisive'
The messages, which have been seen by the
BBC, talk about how the mainstream
political parties want to change the UK's
culture "without the permission from the
white indigenous population", and add:
"Don't you know, Lisa, that God hates
homosexuality, you cannot be a Christian
and support the gay issue."
Ms Smart told BBC News: "He came to me
on my public-facing Facebook page and sent
me a private message. It took me by
surprise and I was disgusted to receive that
message, in this day and age, from
somebody who is wanting to represent the
people of Offerton.
"I think the message is dangerous and
divisive."
Mr Perry came fourth in the ward election
in 2012, with 349 votes. He describes
himself on his Twitter profile as "interested
in politics and religion and what is
happening to our country in respect to
multiculturalism".
'Disappointed'
In response to a message from another
Twitter user, in October 2013, saying: "I
support the enforcement of Sharia as law
anywhere in the world," Mr Perry replied:
"Wake up to the fact that Islam is evil."
In another post, Mr Perry says: "God himself
hates Islam."
Noel Matthews, UKIP's regional organiser
for the north-west of England, said Mr
Perry's alleged comments were being
investigated by party chairman Steve
Crowther and he was likely to be suspended.
"We don't hold these views and we don't
support the crackpot statements that he has
made," said Mr Matthews.
He said the party was "disappointed that a
handful of our members have come out with
these statements".
The rapid expansion of UKIP had meant that
it had been a "victim of its own success", he
added, because "some people have escaped
the vetting process, such as it stands, in the
various regions".
The BBC has not been able to reach Mr
Perry for a response.
It seems a requirement to have one of these on their cv.
