Liverpool football club is cursed by God for ‘promoting’ homosexuality, a far-right politician has claimed.

Paul Rimmer, a former UKIP candidate and current English Democrat, has claimed the soccer team is on a losing streak for supporting local Pride events.

‘From the Bible, Sodomy defiles a Nation. Those who promote it will be punished & vomited out of the Land. Lev.18.23,’ he posted on Facebook this week.

‘In 2012 Liverpool FC sponsored the City’s Gay Pride Parade. Unless they repent they will be under a continual curse.’

When it was pointed out to the politician, who intends to stand for Liverpool Mayor in 2016, that Leviticus 18.23 refers to ‘you shall not lie with any animal’, he ignored it to quote more scripture.

‘Liverpool were amazing last year, but the title was denied them,’ Rimmer said.

‘Everyone knows homosexuality is wrong, but now we have to pretend its nice & normal and anyone who points out it’s a perversion is evil. This is a deep moral & spiritual sickness in our nation.’

In subsequent posts, he accused the BBC of being ‘totally unpatriotic, anti-Christian and anti-white’, worshipping ‘sodomy and blackness’, pushing ‘pro-Muslim propaganda’ and called feminists ‘feminazis’.

Garry Millar, chairman of the Michael Causer Foundation, set up in memory of the murdered gay teen, condemned Rimmer’s ‘bigoted views’.

‘It’s easy for headline grabbers to equate lacklustre football results, floods and swarms of rainbow-coloured locusts to who loves who. Their views must not be explained away as an expression of free speech,’ he said to Liverpool Echo.

‘People are not born ignorant, bigoted and hateful. Perhaps it’s a phase this supposed man of faith is going through but if he’s not sure I’ll introduce him to the parents of a young man killed due to hatred and bigotry.

‘I can also introduce him to thousands of loving, accepting and wonderful straight people who don’t give a hoot who sleeps with who, or what their color is, or whether they are rich or poor or their religion, or what neighborhood they are from.

‘Liverpool and the UK has no time for hatred.’

Two years ago, Rimmer was arrested after arguing with a police officer about the force’s decision to fly the rainbow flag on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.

He later said he intended to sue the force, claiming they were not supposed to ‘discriminate in favor of particular groups’.
