Sky News is reporting that UKIP has rejected a local election candidate – the candidate is saying he was rejected because he is disabled.
UPDATE: A red-faced Nigel Farage is saying that they stopped him being a “priority” candidate as he couldn’t knock on doors or deliver leaflets, but he’s welcome to stand as a paper candidate. He also claims that the candidate, 65 year old Jack Biggs has attempted to “blackmail” the party.

Reminds me of an elderly Tory teller at the May local elections where I live. Shortly after a family went in to vote she said
“You don’t often see them vote.”
The family consisted of a young black man and his mother and father (the latter, who was blind).
