#ThingsElliottSays has heard from several senior UKIP sources that there is great discontent within UKIP for the stupid comments Cllr Sam Fletcher has made about adultery, women and gay people. Sources have said that as a result of this Sam Fletcher is soon to be kicked out by the Yorkshire Party.
One source said to #ThingsElliottSays that he was "not sure how serious Samuel meant for these comments to be taken seriously. However, I deplore any homophobic comments of any kind, indeed, if these comments were meant to be taken of any seriousness, he ought to keep those opinions (or irritations) to himself, especially being in an elected position as he is."

So far Rob Comley, the YI Chair, has described Sam's comments as "unsavoury" and a UKIP spokesman has said “The party is concerned by what it has seen and is currently investigating". Looks like Cllr Fletcher has made a lot of friends out of #FletcherGate.

ReplyDeleteI'm baffled by his hair line...
ReplyDeleteIs that real hair on the side of his head or a bit of stuck on carpet?
ReplyDeleteWill ThingsElliotSays be apologising for this article now, seven months on?
ReplyDeleteI have never had an apology for this article. The headline is complete and utter rubbish - is now and always has been.
I actually said at the time in a Tweet that no one had suggested I was to be "kicked out" of UKIP, and no one ever has suggested that to this day.
I would actually be interested to know who the source of this inaccurate information was.
