Ukip Candidate Quits, Accuses Nigel Farage's Party Of 'Open Racism' Empty Ukip Candidate Quits, Accuses Nigel Farage's Party Of 'Open Racism'

Ukip has been plunged into turmoil after two parliamentary candidates were suspended and one quit within hours.
Detectives were brought in to investigate an allegation of fraud following the suspension of Ukip MEP Janice Atkinson over claims that a member of staff attempted to overcharge EU expenses.
Ukip also suspended Stephen Howd, its Scunthorpe Westminster hopeful, while an investigation is carried out into an "alleged incident" at his workplace.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Stanley quit as the general election candidate for Westmorland and Lonsdale claiming there was "open racism and sanctimonious bullying" within the party.
David Cameron claimed it was "just the latest in a whole set of catastrophic blunders, disasters, missteps by this party".
The Kent and Essex serious crime directorate is reviewing the fraud allegation linked to Ms Atkinson.
Officers acted after the Sun newspaper reported that a staff member obtained an invoice from a restaurant for a sum more than three times the actual cost of an event, apparently with the intention of claiming it back from Brussels funds.
A Kent Police spokesman said: "The allegation is being reviewed and the investigation is ongoing."
The owner of the restaurant that hosted the function said he blew the whistle when he became aware that taxpayers' money might be at stake, not that of a private donor.

The trouble is, the people that are going to vote UKIP - I mean the serious "die hards", are not going to care that the party might contain racism....?
