UKIP Hull appeal for support after billboards vandalised

Anti-democracy campaigners in Hull have vandalised a UKIP billboard within hours of it being put up.

Pain has been thrown on the billboard which was paid for using money raised by members and supporters in Hull. Most of the paint has been thrown over a picture of candidate Sergi Singh which could point to it being racially motivated.

UKIP Hull are trying to raise £5,000 to replace the billboards that have been vandalised. You can donate through the GoFundMe website.

UKIP narrowly misses out on North East seat

UKIP has narrowly missed out on a seat in the North East of England euroregion.

The results were as follows:

Labour 25%
Tory 20%
Lib Dem 18%
UKIP 15%
BNP 9%

There are only 3 seats in the North East of England so the LibLabCon get one each.

An interesting prediction is the BBC saying the Tories will top the poll in Wales and that UKIP may get the fourth seat at the expense of Plaid Cymru.

UKIP is polling joint 1st with Labour in Hull.
