Dopey UKIP candidate poses in a sick Jimmy Savile mask
A UKIP candidate has posted snaps of himself online as shamed pervert Jimmy
Savile, The Sun can reveal.
Bradley Monk, 19, wore a Savile mask to a Halloween party as the scandal over
the DJ’s paedophile past raged last year.
The politics student is standing in Hampshire County Council seat Winchester
Eastgate tomorrow.
Our revelation of the Facebook photos fuels the growing furore over who UKIP
is allowing to stand.
Leader Nigel Farage has admitted his party is too small to properly vet its
record 1,734 council candidates.
Confronted by The Sun, Monk grovelled last night: “It was meant as a
harmless joke. I’m in no way endorsing Savile — what he did was disgusting.”
Monk joined UKIP in 2011 and the party said he will NOT be axed.
A UKIP spokesman said the teenager wore the mask at a “bad taste party”. He
added: “We don’t condone it but we’re not going to sack him for it.”
Tory MP Robert Halfon last night accused UKIP of becoming the “cry-baby” party.
He added: “If they want to be a real party they have to have the same scrutiny
as the rest of us.”
