A candidate for new centrist party Change UK has been forced to resign the same day as the party’s campaign launch, after he caused a race row with comments about “Romanian pickpockets”.
Ali Sadjady,
a former Tory who was standing for the European parliament elections in London, was accused of joining in “hate speech” against EU citizens.
In a series of controversial tweets he had said he was tempted to support Brexit if it stopped Romanian pickpockets coming to the UK, and suggested that advocates of a second referendum did not “believe in democracy”.
They never change their spots, whether they desert the sinking Tory ship for UKIP, Change UK or Farage's mob.
