English Democrats' homophobic slur against Nikki Sinclaire MEP

Just when you thought the English Democrats couldn't get any lower, they pull this out of the bag ...


I have no time for Nikki Sinclaire as a person or a politician because of the awful, selfish way she behaved during her final spat with UKIP but this sort of attack on someone because of their sexuality is disgusting. There's enough prejudice in society against homosexuals and transsexuals without a political party stirring up homophobic sentiment. It seems that the English Democrats aren't just racist but they're homophobic as well - and they're asking for 1.2m votes in the EU elections next year!

I have reported this picture twice to Facebook but they've refused to take it down (although their moral compass did lead them to suspend my Facebook account for 24 hours a month or so ago because someone objected to me saying that unemployed people should do community service for their benefits - something that weeks later is announced as government policy). I have sent the details to Nikki Sinclaire so that she can take whatever action she deems necessary.

I'm a Leicester Tigers fan - so I'm double offended!
Are you sure this is an attack on her "sexuality"? Surely it is just a joke about her appearance - 6 ft 4" and very powerfully built. Many people have often wondered whether she is really a man.

She's trans-gender.
I think she has often said she is not transgender.

Trans-sexual then.

Far better that people do not get over sensitive about these things and as no one has said anything about her sexuality in the picture portrayed, then it would be best just to ignore it. It presumably is the ED's idea of a joke which probably just suggests that they are not a serious party.
I also question whether someone who goes on about "homophobia" is an asset to a libertarian party.
The libertarian position surely is that people are free to choose their own lifestyle in their own private lives but also others are free to disagree with that choice particularly if it spills over into the public realm.

Good answer - common sense! there is too much offence-taking these days, especially by the ever-touchy LGBT brigade.
Even the heteros are now going around snooping into supposed homophobia. Stuff that! Far more important things to worry about.
Did you know that several very active UKIP members have been expelled or demoted in the past year because of these constant complaints about "homophobia"? Douglas Denny is the most recent victim - he made himself unpopular with the LGBT faction by writing in a private message that he would never interfere with their freedom although he thought what homosexuals do was "disgusting" . The LGBT group sent his message to a newspaper who printed only the second half of the sentence and made a big hoo-ha. Next thing you know - Douglas Denny pushed off the NEC without any election.

Yes, interesting! --- If UKIP carry on with this nonsense, they will destroy themselves by alienating their core supporters. One of the problems is that politics is not a family friendly occupation so that homosexuals tend to have both overt and covert hyper-representation amongst the inner core of activists.
It's not just for that reason. The militants have infiltrated all the political parties because they want power. And they are getting it. Meanwhile most people are too apathetic to join a political party.
The militants will do harm wherever they take over. Look at Gregory Evans - another LGBT fanatic who left doing all the damage he possibly could to UKIP. He may have been a deliberate plant, of course. They want power and control. In the EU they call the tune, it's ridiculous.

Alas, I have nothing to say.
