Scrapbook has reported before on Nigel Farage’s claimed zero tolerance of bigots within UKIP ranks:

“If anyone from UKIP says anything on Facebook that is in any way homophobic or mildly racist you guys jump down my throat and demand that I condemn them and expel them from the party, which of course I do.”

So what has become of the UKIP official caught red handed sharing a series of racist Facebook posts?

It was all an accident, of course!

“The national party has now had sufficient time to investigate this matter … Their investigation accepts, and I accept, that the posts shared by Gordon Parkin were purely accidental.

This is a man responsible for, errrr, vetting the party’s candidates.
