UKIP Candidate condemns rally against freedom of speech

I am offended by George Galloway suggesting that ‘For the sake of unity in our society, we have to demand from our Government the protection of our prophets’. What Mr Galloway is suggesting is to outlaw criticism of certain groups and religions; you can’t pick and choose with freedom of speech, you either have it or you don’t.
I am offended by Labour Deputy Leader Imran Hussain when he says ‘Let’s have freedom of speech, not freedom to openly insult’, it is the same thing. Freedom of speech is the right to insult.
Even though I am offended by our Respect and Labour parties anti freedom rhetoric I defend their right to speak freely, let us remember that without freedom of speech these people would not be afforded the right to express their views at all.
For them to suggest freedom of speech should be restricted in certain circumstances is not only wrong it is dangerous for our democracy and our communities.

UKIP accuses Labour Councillor of disrespecting the victims of the Paris shooting

On Monday evening Bradford Councillor Khadim Hussain published a video on his public Facebook page suggesting that the Paris shooting was a hoax (see below).  A distressed member of the public had forwarded the post to UKIP and asked them to help deal with this issue.

Officials in UKIP Bradford were horrified that the day after Frances day of mourning where over 3 million people rallied in solidarity with the victims, we saw a elected Bradford Councillor post such a disrespectful video on his public Facebook page.

UKIP Chairman Jason Smith says: “While it is Mr Hussains right to believe in wild conspiracy theories, I personally find this totally disrespectful just a day after France’s day of mourning, Mr Hussain should remember that as an elected official his job is to serve the people not disrespect them.

I believe our leader Nigel Farage was right when he suggested we have a fifth column in the UK that is utterly opposed to our values, it seems that fifth column may well include at least one Bradford Labour Councillor.

I call on Labour leader David Green to discipline his Councillor.”

HnH's 'intimidated' Bradford man is anti-UKIP Twitter troll

Sir, Peter Finan questions “the kind of people UKIP attract” (T&A 2/12).

Sir, Peter Finan questions “the kind of people UKIP attract” (T&A 2/12).

Mr Finan tries, quick badly I think, to link UKIP with the far right, when in reality you cannot become a member of UKIP if you have been a member of any extremist group, far right or left. No other party has such a clear stance on extremism and the Labour Party actually fields a number of former BNP candidates around the country!
The irony is the article Mr Finan refers to also announces mass defections in Bradford to UKIP of activists who are from a diverse range of backgrounds including black African, Asian and Eastern European.
Only one party in Bradford truly stands against extremism from both sides and that party is UKIP and in 2015 we will unveil the most diverse range of candidates in the district!

Recruits a boost to party's diversity

Many of the new recruits are from minority backgrounds, including Eastern European, and UKIP’s Bradford chairman Jason Smith said that reflected the party’s stance of giving a voice to all communities.
