 NEW UKIP councillor in Worcestershire has sparked fury amid allegations he unleashed a series of racist abuse online.

Eric Kitson, who won a seat in Stourport just 11 days ago, is facing the sack today over a whole raft of anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish Facebook posts.

Among the most shocking is a cartoon of a Muslim being spit-roasted on a fire fuelled by copies of the Koran.

In one comment he said in reference to Muslim women: “Hang um all first then ask questions later.”

 

A raft of anti-Jewish remarks have also appeared on his Facebook site, and in a separate post he has called for the repatriation of “six million migrants and refugees”.

There was also false claims posted on his site that the Rothschild banking dynasty had controlled Nazi Germany's leader Adolf Hitler.

His Facebook page has also called for Muslim women to be hanged, suggested Islam is "a cancer" that should be eradicated "with nuclear weapons" and expressed support for BNP boss Nick Griffin by 'liking' him.

His site also called for the world to "unite against Islam" and supports the far-right English Defence League.

The pages have been re-published on a website called Stand for Peace, which has condemned his actions.

 

His Facebook page has now been deleted, but the Stand for Peace website still carries large volumes of his vile posts, some of them dating back to 2012.

A complaint has been made to an inspector at West Mercia Police this afternoon, who has asked to see a file of his Facebook posts.

The Muslim community has called the rants "sickening" and a petition is being circulated around mosques tonight calling for his removal.

Councillor Adrian Hardman, the leader of Worcestershire County Council, said: "This looks like criminal activity because he's inciting racial hatred - he should do the honourable thing and resign because he has brought shame on the county."

The attacks are currently being investigated by UKIP HQ in London, and have been condemned as “disgusting” by senior figures atWorcestershire County Council this morning.

 

Councillor Kitson has only just been through training for being an elected politician, and is one of four UKIP members to have just been elected to the authority for the first time ever.

If he is removed from his position it would be the shortest spell any elected politician has ever had in County Hall - and would trigger a by-election.

A UKIP spokesman told the Worcester News: “The party is looking into it because we need to find out exactly what has gone on here.

“We don’t want to dismiss him outright until we investigate it.

“Our understanding is that he has offered to resign over it, but we need to establish what’s happened.

“A conversation will be taking place and if we find out he has behaved inappropriately, he would have to go."

Councillor Peter McDonald, leader of Worcestershire’s Labour group, said: “These remarks are disgusting and it brings the whole office of being a councillor into disrepute.

 

“It’s a terrible mess, he has let himself down, the council down, and the voters who elected him in down - they did not vote for this.

"It's terribly sad and pretty shocking what he has done - this man is now an elected councillor."

The authority has already had one request for the Standards Committee to investigate, and has released a statement in the last few minutes.

Simon Mallinson, head of legal and democratic services, said: "Whilst we would avoid commenting on any individual case at this stage, elected members are expected to comply with the council's code of conduct when they act in their role as county councillors.

"Any complaint that this code has been breached when acting in such a role will be carefully considered."

Coun Kitson has yet to respond to calls from the press, but Wyre Forest's UKIP branch has confirmed he is under investigation.

Neil Jukes, the chairman, said: "He is under investigation and we will be taking it very seriously.

"I must admit, I was totally unaware of this and when he became a candidate, like all the rest we asked him to sign a form declaring he had no skeletons in the closet and had nothing which would cause us any embarrassment.

"We will have to wait and see."

 

Muslim Mumshad Ahmed, a former county councillor, said: "I am sickened and disgusted by this, I cannot believe the hatred he is creating.

"I will be taking a petition around mosques tonight to get people to sign it, this man is doing something very dangerous - when a Koran was burned there was riots around the world.

"I cannot see why he's done this."

Meanwhile, Councillor Simon Geraghty, deputy leader of the county council, has called it "heinous".

"You find youself lost for words," he said.

"It's absolutely dreadful and he clearly is not the right person to be a councillor with those views."

Can see things like that happening often. Always going to get numpties joining up. Same way the EDL started off as a good idea and turned into a Football Hooligan parade. UKIP FTW still, better than having Anti-British people in power.

but how was the EDL ever a good idea?

From what I knew it was just a group set up to oppose Sharia Law and Extremism. Which to me is a good idea. Good idea, but when you get hooligans turning up just shouting abuse etc then it becomes pointless.

Nigel Farage blasts 'fascist' protesters after Edinburgh confrontation

UKIP leader Nigel Farage faced a hostile crowd during a trip to Edinburgh

 

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has described protesters who besieged him in an Edinburgh pub as "fascist scum".

Mr Farage had to be escorted from the Canons' Gait pub in a police van after angry confrontations on Thursday.

He told BBC Scotland the incident was deeply racist and displayed a total hatred of the English.

Mr Farage called on Scottish National Party leader Alex Salmond to condemn the behaviour. The SNP said the UKIP leader had "lost the plot".

Mr Farage was in Edinburgh to launch his party's Scottish campaign following recent electoral gains in England.

 

Police said two men had been arrested following the protest.

Speaking to the Good Morning Scotland programme, Mr Farage said: "If this is the face of Scottish nationalism, it's a pretty ugly picture."

He added: "The anger, the hatred, the shouting, the snarling, the swearing was all linked in to a desire for the Union Jack to be burnt."

The UKIP leader said the demonstrators did not represent Scotland and dismissed suggestions his party was an irrelevance north of the border.

"The fact that 50 yobbo fascist scum turn up and aren't prepared to listen to the debate, I absolutely refuse to believe is representative of Scottish public opinion," Mr Farage said.

Condemnation call

He said he had heard before that some parts of Scottish nationalism were "akin to fascism" but "yesterday I saw it face-to-face".

Mr Farage also told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that the protesters were "filled with a total and utter hatred of the English".

Nigel Farage: "From the start, all the way though that interview, it was insulting"

"For some reason the British media has never talked about the excesses of Scottish nationalism and how deeply unpleasant they can be," he said.

Mr Farage did not suggest this was anything to do with the SNP as a party.

But he added: "These people were supporters of Scottish nationalism, virulently opposed to the English, all sorts of suggestions as to what we could do with the Union Jack and I would like to hear Alex Salmond come out and condemn this sort of behaviour. I challenge him today to do that."

He said: "If anybody from UKIP says anything on Facebook that is in any way homophobic or mildly racist you guys jump down my throat and demand I condemn them and expel them from the party, which of course I do. It is about time Scottish nationalism was put under the same level of scrutiny."

An SNP spokesman said: "Anyone who heard the interview with Nigel Farage on BBC this morning would have thought he has completely lost the plot.

"He accused the BBC of hatred when under pressure and panicked during an interview. Nothing he says can be treated with a shred of credibility and his partners in the No campaign should be embarrassed about his behaviour."

'Politics of fear'

A spokesman for the Radical Independence Campaign, who helped organise the demonstration in Edinburgh, said there had been "no anti-English protest".

He added: "For Farage to make such a claim is risible: it is UKIP who are stoking division.

"This was about challenging someone whose party has been spouting racist, sexist and homophobic bile and gone unchallenged for months.

"Everyone who opposes the politics of fear and division should unite against UKIP - whether you live in Scotland or England."

John Martin, president of the Edinburgh College Students' Association, which also took part in the protest, said: "We organised yesterday's protest against Farage out of a belief that UKIP's policies are fundamentally rotten.

"Their headline five-year immigration freeze is not only completely disconnected from reality, but is a policy that neither the people of Scotland nor the rest of the United Kingdom would stomach.

"His regressive and repugnant ideology is not far removed from that of the BNP - just dressed in a better-fitting suit."

Good publicity for UKIP. Well done Scotland. It's funny how 1 Sided the hate is between Scotland and England.

Not really, history!

But it is a bad example for Scotland not all Scottish people have held onto that chip on their shoulders.

 

For the most part it is just banter

 

But yh, you can't blame them as john has said
