Selecting this candidate takes the party backward not forward.

Alan Craig has recently been selected as the UKIP Greater London Assembly candidate for South West London. He is an outspoken homophobe who has addressed 'gay cure' meetings. We believe that selecting him as a candidate undermines the progress we as a party have made in broadening our appeal. While we support Mr Craig's right to free speech, we believe it is inappropriate for UKIP to appear to endorse his offensive views by approving him as a GLA candidate. His appointment undermines the work of hard-working gay candidates like London Mayoral candidate Peter Whittle and others. We call on the UKIP Leader Nigel Farage and the NEC to urgently review Mr Craig's suitability as a candidate.

Alan Craig may or may not be an ordinary and decent man. I do not know. But, if he is on record as being outspokenly homophobic, then he is contrary to UKIP's oft times statement against homophobia and should be removed if only to protect the reputation of the Party.

This goes to show that the big cheeses at UKIP are still failing to get a grip on candidate selection; can't that party learn basic lessons, like not having racists and homophobes as candidates, especially those who have hit the press formally for the same! come on UKIP sort it out!

I am not a UKIP supporter, and nothing that bunch does really surprises me any more, but this just takes the biscuit; i mean next this Craig guy will be blaming the recent bad weather on the gays, like his fellow party members did a couple of years back. Sort it out.!
