I’m not racist but… (Picture: BBC)

A Ukip councillor has been kicked out of the party after saying she had a problem with ‘negroes’.

Despite describing her dislike for those with ‘negroid features’, Rozanne Duncan insists she is not racist.

UKIP tops list of Britain’s ‘most hated brands’She was a prominent member of Ukip in Thanet south – the seat where Nigel Farage is running for Parliament and made the comment while being filmed by the BBC.

She said: ‘The only people that I do have problems with are negroes, and I don’t know why. ‘I don’t know whether there’s something in my psyche, or whether it’s karma from a previous life, but I really do have a problem with people with negroid features. ‘A friend of mine said “what would you do if I invited you to dinner and put you next to one?” I said I wouldn’t be there. Simple as that.’

When challenged on her view, she added: ‘I was born in the late 40s early 50s when especially down in Thanet, there weren’t any. I wasn’t brought up with them. ‘Now, that’s no justification at all. It doesn’t answer the question “why is she like that with them and not anybody else?”. Really bizarre.’

What’s even more bizarre, however, is how she looks just like Mel B’s character in Bo Selecta.

She was expelled in December, but her views have been made public for the first time ahead of the documentary Meet the Ukippers on BBC Two at 10pm today.

Responding to her expulsion, Ms Duncan claimed there had been a ‘hidden agenda’ against her and she felt ‘betrayed’.

‘I still honestly believe that what I said was never at any time racist or derogatory,’ she said.

‘I used the word “negroes” as you would do Asians, Chinese, Muslims, Jews. It’s a description, it’s not an insult – in the same way as you would say “what do you mean by Jewish? Well, they belong to a community, they have got a certain faith, they have usually got noses that have got a bit of a curve to them, married women – if they are orthodox Jews – wear wigs”. It’s description.’

She added: ‘I don’t regret saying it. I don’t regret anything, that’s the truth.’

The same documentary also featured the local Ukip chairman Martyn Heale attempting to draw a line under his past membership of the far-right National Front, by saying: ‘I was never a member of the Gestapo’.

Mr Heale hit out at the media attention over his brief membership of the National Front in the past.

He told the programme he was not aware the organisation was ‘as extreme as they said’ and left after a little over a year.

‘For Christ’s sake, I was never a member of the Gestapo. I was not a member of the Stasi, I never served a term of imprisonment in my life.

‘I was a f***ing member of the Conservative Party for 22 years, I was a member of the National Front for one year and two months. Why don’t they just let it go?’

Meet the Ukippers is on BBC Two at 10pm on Sunday, February 22.
