poontang Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Farage really needs to get this typelon lunacy in check. Let's the party down. I think it says more about Farage and UKIP that they don't censure him. He has every right to air his religious views, and that's what they are, nothing to do with politics. As I said before I'll wager there are plenty of others, of all parties, with similar views who hide in the shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKIP's official position is that it supports same-sex civil partnerships but opposes same-sex marriages. However, a spokesperson for the party said: "If the media are expecting UKIP to either condemn or condone someone's personal religious views they will get absolutely no response. "Whether Jain or Sikh or Buddhist or Sufi or Zoroastrian or Jewish or Muslim or Baptist or Hindu or Catholic or Ba'Hai or Animist or any other mainstream, or minor religion or movement, we are taught as a tolerant society to accept a diversity of ideologies. "Freedom to individual thought and expression is a central tenet of any open minded and democratic country. "It is quite evident that this is not the party's belief but the councillor's own, and he is more than entitled to express independent thought despite whether or not other people may deem it standard or correct. "That is what makes the United Kingdom such a wonderful, proud, diverse and free country." KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chacotawas Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Well, well, it's come to it when believing in what's in The Bible- the Good Book- makes you a figure of fun (or maybe a suicide bomber). Where's Henry when a fellow man of faith needs him? The point about freedom of speech is a good one. We may well judge the man to be a bit of a nutter- we having recognised religion as the ludicrous nonsense it clearly is- but we must support his right to speak his mind. Meantime, however, let's not forget the reality of the loss of free speech in this country due to the power of the PC brigade and the threat of Muslim violence.
