Anti-democracy protesters attack UKIP supporter

A UKIP supporter in Bournemouth has been attacked by anti-democracy protesters who he disturbed trying to vandalise his UKIP poster for the second time.

Mark Smith disturbed five men at around 11pm yesterday and after an exchange of words they drove off in two cars. They returned shortly afterwards and when he confronted them again he was punched in the face and kicked around the floor.

If you have any information on the violent scum who would kick a 49 year old man around his garden for stopping them causing criminal damage on his property then Dorset Police would like to hear from you.

Labour councillor in Bournemouth refuses to help UKIP supporter

A formal complaint has been lodged with Bournemouth Borough Council after a Labour councillor refused to help a resident because they are a UKIP supporter.

Cllr Ben Grower responded to an email from a resident telling him that because he supports a "racist" party he wasn't to contact him again and would delete any future emails. Councillors are required to represent all constituents regardless of their political persuasion and refusing to do so is not only a breach of a council's code of conduct but a common law offence of misconduct in public office.

A public officer acting as such wilfully neglects to perform his duty and/or wilfully misconducts himself to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public's trust in the office holder without reasonable excuse or justification

Warrant issued for Conservative ex-councillor

Bournemouth Magistrates Court have issued a warrant for the arrest of a former Conservative councillor who is being pursued by the DWP for alleged benefit fraud.

As a councillor she was earning £9,290 in basic allowances and an extra £1,764 in special responsibility allowances for being on the licensing committee but the DWP say she was claiming benefits that she wasn't entitled to at the same time.

Anniina Davie resigned her seat last February and is believed to have returned to her native Finland. Theresa May is no doubt drafting an EU Arrest Warrant right now to bring this fugitive Tory to justice.
