Ukip Leader Nigel Farage Admits His Party Has 'Some Idiots'
He's been hit by an egg while out canvassing, called a w*****r live on BBC News, and labelled a coward by political commentators, when he decided not to fight for a seat in Westminister at the next General Election.
But at the end of a long week, Farage has not lost any appetite for public engagement.
As he launched Ukip's billboard campaign for the Euro-elections against the backdrop of the cliffs of Dover, Farage said that Ukip has "some idiots".
The party leader was responding to reports that Harry Perry, who is standing for the party in Offerton, Stockport, expressed extremist views on Twitter.
Farage said the remarks made by a council election candidate were "entirely inconsistent" with being a member of the party.
But Mr Farage claimed the media's reporting of what goes wrong in his party is "completely disproportionate".
He also defended Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson over the n-word row, saying it was "just typical Clarkson".
On Mr Perry's Twitter account, @harryperry15, he calls for Pakistan to be "nuked", dubs David Cameron a "gay-loving nutcase",
Muslims "devil's kids" and homosexuality an "abomination before god", the Manchester Evening News reported.

What I find interesting with UKIP being good to their word and ousting candidates with intolerant views, is will this affect support of the intolerant people who have flocked to them?
Will they become dissatisfied because UKIP openly gets rid of them?
