Homosexuals in all areas undermining marriage: UKIP Shipping Forecast returns

Homosexuals in all areas undermining marriage: UKIP Shipping Forecast returns

A new 'UKIP Shipping Forecast' has been released, mocking some of the party's homophobic candidates.

Actor, author and Dalek operator Nicholas Pegg originally recorded a spoof of the Radio 4 Shipping Forecast  last year, after  then-UKIP councillor David Silvester claimed that same-sex marriage caused flooding.
The original clip went viral, receiving over 300,000 hits - and now Mr Pegg has revived the format to poke fun at the party again.


The new forecast references married MEP Roger Helmer - who was caught by a tabloid visiting a "sleazy" massage parlour  after claiming homosexuality was not a lifestyle "worthy of equal respect".

Also mocked is the  party's U-turn on plans to select former Christian party leader George Hargreaves , who claims gays should "repent and turn to Christ".

UKIP reinstated their original candidate in Coventry South last month - after reportedly asking him to stand aside in favour of Mr Hargreaves.

Yesterday, UKIP MEP Janice Atkinson announced that a UKIP government would “not be having a Minister for Women and Equalities”, to rapturous applause from party members.
It is unclear whether the plans mean the party would also entirely abolish the Government Equalities Office – which is responsible for policy on women, sexual orientation and transgender equality.
