UKIP candidate: ‘David Cameron is a gay loving nut case and homosexuality is an abomination’
A UKIP local election candidate who tweeted that homosexuality was an “abomination before God” and that David Cameron is a “gay loving nut case” faces suspension.
Harry Perry made the comments about “abomination” to a Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate on Facebook.
Lisa Smart, the Lib Dem candidate for Hazel Grove, received two messages in March, before Mr Perry had been adopted as a UKIP candidate in the Labour-held Stockport Council ward of Offerton.
The messages, revealed on Friday by the BBC, talk about how the mainstream political parties want to change the UK’s culture “without the permission from the white indigenous population”, and add: “Don’t you know, Lisa, that God hates homosexuality, you cannot be a Christian and support the gay issue.”
Mr Perry described Islam as “evil” on Twitter last October.
In a tweet published in November 2012, Mr Perry described David Cameron as a “gay loving nut case”.
