Ukip has unveiled a man who sent a “rape” tweet to a Labour MP and a comedian who trained his dog to do a Nazi salute as its star candidates for the European elections.
Ahhh. Great, the day just gets better 😟🤔. I need a drink !
You must remember Nigel Farage created this party and all their racist policies. Now he washes his hands from them , Such a Numpty 🙄
How worried main stream media and many politicians are if this is the level of coverage UKIP gets. I saw someone call everyone who supports Robinson right wing thugs. Whom he thought he was to label people like that only magnified the fact he can't understand stereotyping yet!
'rape tweet' is a deliberately poor way to characterise it. I'm glad you folk are becoming irrelevant when you spread so much party propaganda.
The mainstream going after a pro-brexit party with half baked slurs. Who'd have seen this coming? Context is everything.
TelePolitics Has this become the United Kingdom Idiots Party? Certainly looks that way
Look like a bunch of thugs 🤔
Comment was stupid but the MP in question jessphillips was making light of male suicide
Yikes!!!
One section of the Better Together UK scottishlabour ScotTories scotlibdems Scots were tagged to be part of in their UNION
This is why nobody trusts the media. Shock horror smear headine with no context. Fortunately we have social media these days to see what is actually taking place.
That is an out and out lie. He said he wouldn't rape that women
Idiot
A poor tweet, in poor taste, manipulated by this rag..as usual. . Avoid newspapers. .
The Telegraph exposing themselves as fake news to anyone who knows the context to the Jess/Sargon story. If Jess Phillips decided to laugh at male suicide victims in my face I'd be going all out to insult her as much as I could, no holding back, She is utter scum.
A tweet 3 years ago and a dog giving a salute. Wow journalism at its propaganda best. How awful much more important than an undemocratic Parliament working against the will of the people. Lazy journalism.
Shame on you you know there's much more to these two than your smear. Their subscribers know it too and they know you know it. You have now become part of the problem-stifling free speech & alternative opinion.Glad I don't subscribe and now enjoying the the fade....
Good to see balanced reporting from MSM. Just like they introduce Yvette Cooper as a house flipping expenses fraudster.
Gerard what r u doing sinking to the level of Labour these days for candidates?!!!
Dancing for your masters
Not going for the snowflake vote
no context? journalism at its finest
That's great. I love these guys. Would take them over ms May, any day!
It's bash UKIP like you did the BNP time! History repeating...
It was an anti rape tweet, and a pug doing a Nazi salute is bloody hilarious. When are you going to return to being journalists instead of political activists? FakeNews nosenseofhumour
Oh
This is a pathetic smear and I can't wait to cheer layoffs at the Telegraph.

He told her he wouldn't rape her. How the fuck is that a threat to rape her? It's the exact opposite.
Umm... 🙋♀️ why is rape in quotation marks?
Umm... why is rape in quotation marks?
This is another article where they’ve done their best to reduce context and generate click bait.
ELEC COMM WHO IS FUNDING THIS FUNNY FARM PARTY
So saying 'I wouldn't even rape you' isn't a rape tweet? Are you actually serious? And why have you not condemned such a filthy remark?
Such biased reporting and I don't even vote UKIP.
Telegraph doing the PR dirty work of CCHQ?
Just voted UKIP in the locals. Postal votes off now
A conservative newspaper feeling threatened.
What on earth is a 'rape tweet'?
The Telegraph = European Fake News.
Freddie Starr making a come back? 🤣🤣
Jesus Christ!!!! Register to vote now ppl. Don’t let apathy win again. It will be to our detriment!
😂😂 apparently, saying ‘I wouldn’t rape you Jess Phillips’ is a rape tweet. I’m not a UKIP voter but got to say that it’s ridiculous. If I say ‘I’m not going to murder anyone’ on twitter, does that make it a murder tweet?
So I guess he is a ex Tory.
Don't worry theyre only toy Nazi lowlife and it's all only a joke really.
UKIP are bonkers then.
Whilst I don't agree with what the man did, this is actually a false accusation. He didn't send a rape tweet he sent a non rape tweet. I believe the lady actually mentioned rape as well didn't she.
They are over unfortunately.
😂😂 they will defiantly get elected no one takes Europe seriously 😑
Give this lot a swerve
It seems GerardBattenMEP is hell-bent on destroying UKIP, just like _HenryBolton before him.
So this is what the scrapings of the bottom of a barrel look like. I've often wondered.
Still more credibility than labour and conservative 🤣🤣
UKIP is now a hate group with supporters that openly call for terrorism and murder. Should be banned like any other
The unsightly facial hair is reason enough to avoid these grotesque people.
Want to elaborate on that rape tweet? Because both you and I know that’s out of context don’t we, Telegraph. And the nazi dog, mute point, like you said, he’s a god damn comedian!
Insert missing context here....
I wouldn't even buy the Telegraph. According to dimwits, I just threatened to buy the Telegraph.
Fake news media, you really need to grow up. This is your idea of 'news'? Or just more hate against UKIP and people who want out of the EU 4th Reich?
They pass for intellectuals on the right.
Facebook should ban them as well.
