Has Cameron Been Proved Right About UKIP?

Some years back, David Cameron famously described UKIP members as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists".

After the star of a UKIP TV ad was suspended for saying Islam is evil and Africans should kill themselves, and a party official said "cash-strapped Moslems should have multiple wives", has the PM eventually been proved right?

Amid the latest spate of UKIP racism and sexism scandals, I'm told that some senior Tories are now claiming "the one good thing about UKIP is that it's cleansed our party of the loonies".

David Challice, a UKIP official and activist in the West Country, mocked Islamic law and attacked "the lunacy of muliculturalism" in an advert placed in the Exeter Express and Echo newspaper.

He has also described the Greeks as "vile" and said women should not go out to work, though he says it was a joke. Hilarious!

Nigel Farage says Andre Lampitt's remarks, including claiming Ed Miliband is "not a real Brit" and was "only born here", were repellent and has suspended him as a UKIP candidate only days after he appeared in an election broadcast.

He still got his nomination papers in just in time, however, and will still be a candidate in Merton, south London.

But the party is standing by Mr Challice. Poisoned Challice? Not according to UKIP.

A spokesman said: "UKIP is not a party that believes in public debate and conversation being stifled by an obsession with political correctness.

"So the threshold for which the mere expression of opinion merits disciplinary action should be set high.

"That threshold was quite obviously breached in yesterday's furore but it is has certainly not been today."

The joke about his wife went like this: "Since the snow came back all she's done is look through the window. If it gets any worse I'll have to let her back in again." Boom, boom!

It has also emerged that a "British builder" in a UKIP poster accusing EU workers of taking UK jobs is an Irish actor, Dave O'Rourke from Dublin, who migrated to this country.

And UKIP has also had to defend its European manifesto after it featured a woman called Lizzy Vaid pledging to vote for the party, without mentioning she is an assistant to Mr Farage and UKIP's events manager.

A party becoming accident-prone? Looks like it, but I doubt Mr Farage and the UKIP high command mind very much.

After all, here we are talking about them and not the Conservatives, Labour or Lib Dems.

Will potential UKIP voters be scared off? Probably not.

Many will no doubt believe that being insulted by Mr Cameron is a badge of honour and be more, rather than less, tempted to vote UKIP on May 22.
