Ukip candidate suspended for threatening to 'put a bullet in' Tory rival

A Ukip parliamentary candidate has been suspended after saying he would shoot his Tory rival if he ever became prime minister. In an expletive-laden rant, Robert Blay said the Conservative party’s candidate in North East Hampshire, Ranil Jayawardena, was “not British enough to be in our parliament” and accused him of timing the birth of his child to coincide with the general election.

In the footage, Blay is heard to express his frustration with suggestions that Jayawardena has a bright political career ahead of him and especially at the possibility that he could rise to be Britain’s first prime minister of Asian descent. “If he is, I will personally put a bullet between his eyes,” says Blay. “If this lad turns up to be our prime minister, I will personally put a bullet in him. That’s how strong I feel about it. I won’t have this fucker as our prime minister. I absolutely loathe him,” he said. He went on express grievances about Jayawardena’s father, who migrated to Britain from Sri Lanka.
