Recently, some volunteers from a political party were caught on camera making some highly inflammatory remarks. One of them, who was out canvassing for Nigel Farage in Clacton, Essex, was recorded using a racial slur to describe Rishi Sunak, the UK's first prime minister of color. This incident has caused quite a stir, especially with the upcoming General Election.
The undercover footage, captured by Channel 4, also shows the same volunteer, Andrew Parker, making other offensive comments. He suggested using asylum seekers crossing the English Channel as "target practice" and even went as far as saying "just shoot them." These remarks have sparked outrage and have led to both volunteers being dropped from their roles. Farage has been quick to distance himself from these comments, stating that they do not reflect his own views.
In other news, the gambling scandal surrounding the General Election has taken another unexpected turn. Politicians and police are now being investigated for allegedly placing bets on the date of the election. It seems like the drama surrounding this election just keeps on unfolding.
