MEPostie?

The Sri Lankan post master sacked for refusing to serve customers at his Nottingham post office who wouldn't speak English has joined UKIP and is standing in the upcoming EU elections for the party.

Deva Kumarasiri was sacked for publicising his policy and insisting that immigrants should speak English and integrate with society. The decision was criticised by East Midlands UKIP MEP, Derek Clark, at the time. Nigel Farage invited Deva to London for a meeting, following which he joined the party and announced his decision to stand for election for UKIP.
