UKIP have cancelled their Freepost address after disgruntled members of the public sent them FAECES in the post.

UKIP Bexley tweeted a memo which read: "You may be aware that there have been incidents of inapproriate mail items being sent to a UKIP Freepost address. This includes items which are prohibited (such as blood/human faeces) and present a health and safety risk both to you and our Royal Mail colleagues.

"The Freepost address for UKIP has been cancelled."

Freepost allows someone to send mail without a stamp because the recipient pays the postage.

Earlier this week UKIP opponents returned flyers to a Freepost address, while others sent heavier - and more expensive - items including BRICKS.

Some even tried to convince gullible UKIP supporters that Nigel Farage wanted the bricks to build a wall in Dover to keep migrating Romanians at bay.

And one tweeter said he wasn't going to stop at one brick.

One thoughtful voter decided it must be thirsty work shifting all those bricks and sent the party eight litres of water.

Another voter sent a weighty Dostoevsky novel using the service complete with Farage's face taped over the picture of "The Idiot."
