Did the electoral fraud allegation over Nuttal's home address get settled or is that still looming too? How have such a shambolic organisation as ukip proven so disruptive?
Lying about Hillsborough on Merseyside would be electoral death which is presumably why he's never made anything of it before and this has only cropped up now he's spreading his wings and is desperate for publicity.
Where do ukip keep finding them, they must be running out of rocks to turn over.

But perhaps not quite so viscerally.
Still, it's an odd thing to decide to lie about wherever one is campaigning. Perhaps there's a grain of truth in there somewhere but a few self aggrandising embellishments and some carelessness caught on camera has left him trapped, forced to lie or admit a very toxic foolishness. He'll still have a home and life in Merseyside when this is all done so there's really not much in it for him if he were to own up to even that relatively small (theoretical, who knows what the truth is) transgression, perhaps brazening it out is his only real option.

I do not support UKIP at all (I'm also a Remainer!), but the media are blatantly loving a bit of UKIP bashing at the moment. Look at the last 3 paragraphs of this BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38972214 . I haven't heard anyone planning a women's rights march against Gareth Snell? This would be a major story in its own right if the comments had been made by a UKIP MP.
Another odd decision is picking a candidate who is vocally against Brexit in a highly pro-Brexit area. It's as though Labour are actively trying to lose?

I agree that being a bullshitter should really exclude people from leadership roles.
However, as the whole of brexit seems to have come about due to liberal amounts of BS being spouted, with Farage and his ilk positively thriving when steaming heaps of the stuff are pouring forth from every orifice, and now the "leader of the free world" is demonstrably the biggest bullshitter you could possibly imagine, who will happily claim that black is white, and two plus two equals the biggest crowd to ever watch an inauguration, etc.
So unfortunately, I have to at least consider the possibility that being a massive, unrelenting, shameless, egotistical bullshit merchant isn't just a desirable leadership quality, its more of a prerequisite for the job!!

Her website is a rabbit hole into which you'll wish you'd never entered.
.....add to that the comments in the Stoke Sentinel - makes me want to live on the moon.

Crikey! Maybe Trump's not so bad after all.
Item 55 in the manifesto might give us a bit of insight - "Psychiatrists and Mental Health workers will have a higher IQ than the patients they pretend to be superior to."
