Another UKIP gaffe
Despite attempts by Nigel Farage to try and change the image of UKIP there is no escaping the loose cannons in his party. The latest is a UKIP County Councillor in Cambridgeshire, who really seems to know how to win friends and influence people.
Gordon Gillick told a council meeting that the reason poor, badly educated people are fat is because they like being fat:
“The people we describe as obese, thick, badly educated, whichever way you like to phrase it... they enjoy being 25 stone, they’re not discontent, they’re just a burden on the state,” the Cambridge News reports him saying.
He then appeared to contradict himself by blaming unemployment on competition from East European migrants who were willing to live in their cars or “14 to a house”.
It is almost as if they are trying to undermine poor Nigel.

In view of his condemnation of East European migrants who are willing to live “14 to a house”, I hope that Cllr Gordon Gillick will be remorseless in his condemnation of UKIP MEP Nathan Gill who "provided 'bunkhouse' accommodation for employees and others who had migrated from eastern Europe.'
