Your definitive guide to UKIP’s racists, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, anti-Semites, paedophiles, animal abusers, and violent bullies.

The 2015 General Election has come and gone, with a slight Tory majority giving us five more years of David Cameron. Despite an enormous pre-election campaign and an unabated media spotlight, UKIP have lost one of their incumbent MPs, Mark Reckless, and party leader Nigel Farage failed to win his constituency seat of South Thanet. He has since stepped down. The party currently has only one MP in Clacton, Douglas Carswell, the same number of MPs as the Green Party.

This post will serve as a reminder that UKIP ran a vicious, vile, and loathsome election campaign with bigots the likes of which we haven’t seen since the BNP and the National Front. Indeed, some of UKIP’s candidates had ties to these parties. I will periodically update this post if and when more UKIP creatures emerge from the swamp to spout their hateful views.

Angry Meditations claims no responsibility for the atrocious spelling and poor grammar of the people quoted in this list.
