Friendly reminder that the US does not have a monopoly of religious nutjobs in politics.
David Cameron is at fault for the hurricane-force winds and flooding that affected Britain over Christmas, a Ukip councillor for Henley-on-Thames has declared.

Mr Silvester argues that Cameron's support for the Marriage (Same Sex) Act, which passed into law in 2013, was an "act contrary to the Gospel" that has triggered the extreme weather and caused travel disruption, in a letter published in the Henley Standard. He further warns that "disease, pestilence and war" may "beset" Britain in the wake of the legislation.

"The scriptures make it abundantly clear that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters such as storms, disease, pestilence and war." Mr Cameron's concern for flooded-out homeowners was insincere, said Mr Silvester: "Now, even as Cameron sheds crocodile tears on behalf of destitute flooded homeowners, playing at advocate against the very local councils he has made cash-strapped, it is his fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods."

Mr Silvester continued: "He has arrogantly acted against the Gospel that once made Britain "great" and the lesson surely to be learned is that no man or men, however powerful, can mess with Almighty God with impunity and get away with it for everything a nation does is weighed on the scaled of divine approval or disapproval."

"Since the passage of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, the nation has been beset by serious storms and floods. One recent one caused the worst flooding for 60 years. The Christmas floods were the worst for 127 years. Is this just global warming or is there something more serious at work?"

Mr Silvester quit the Tory party for Ukip in 2013 describing the marriage act as "the straw that broke the camel's back", and forced him out of the Tory party. Mr Silvester had previously been disappointed by Cameron’s stance on a European referendum and the High Speed 2 Rail link. It's a decision he also chronicled in the letters section of the Henley Standard.

UKIP member being homophobic? You don't say!
 
So what are all the countries with gay marriage that haven't had floods doing right?

Also we had flooding last year, before it was legalised. It's almost like it's a regular weather pattern.

That just means the gays were getting married in secret! How far does the rot spread!?

In other news, UKIP continues UKIP.
 
For any non UK gaffers, this guy has basically zero power. His party doesn't have a single seat in Parliament. They are basically a shitty protest vote in less important elections (European/Local) and usually gain power through low turnout; though this power is basically inconsequential.
 
For those who aren't aware, the U.K. has two racist parties. You have the B.N.P., your working man's racist party, fighting for the rights of the white proletarian against the Muslim bourgeois, and you have U.K.I.P., your snob's racist party, struggling to ensure the noble countenance of the English nation in the face of foreign barbarism. The former is basically inconsequential these days, the latter has been trying to take itself up-market and is now a protest vote for people who think the Conservatives aren't Conservative enough. An analogy would be voting for a Tea Party candidate separately from a Republican candidate.

Why does their website need to specify they're "non-racist"?

For fucks sake.

Next he'll tell us that the influx of people from TPLACs is a direct cause of cats peeing in peoples tea.
 
UKIP, the party for little Englander "not-racists" who deny global warming, are against equal marriage, want a flat rate of tax and a freeze on immigration and for whom any mention of the European Court of Human Rights gets their blood boiling. "Political correctness gone mad" is their war cry, Daily Mail the newspaper of choice.

They are the Conservative Party but without the flimsy mask.
 
Saddest thing is they're currently projected to be the second largest party Britain has in the European Parliament after the European elections because nobody gives a monkey's about Europe. I know they don't actually influence anything of any importance there, but it still makes me cringe thinking that's the impression we're giving off to the rest of Europe.
 
Like most homophobes, he probably fantasises constantly about dicks, huge bags full of dick. Come out of the closet Mr Silvester, the weather is fine!

Don't worry, the rest of Europe has their fair share of populist right wingers.

Like Timo "I'm catholic christian, by definition I can't be racist" Soini from Finnish "the Finns" -party. And they're about to win big time in the European Parliament elections for the same reasons.

Don't worry, your prime minster is taking care of that.

According to this nice fellow, Britain should perhaps first abolish being a "Christian nation" and then approve of gay marriage, no? That would certainly please him.
 
UKIP is some kind of fascinating psychological experiment into what happens when a small political party with controversial opinions gets briefly shoved into the spotlight and somehow manages to totally self destruct their own image.

Top tip: Denying you have certain views unprovoked only makes people think you have them even more.
 
He's right. If your going to have gay marriage then you need to sacrifice an extra 77 virgins to Cthulu lest he spreads the leviathans wrath on ye.

This post is a perfect summary. They should put the top bit on their leaflets.

Because they are, honestly UKIP is on the same level as BNP.

No, they are not. Stop being so hyperbolic. UKIP wants to end mass immigration whilst the BNP wants to pay anyone of foreign descent to leave.

I don't support UKIP, but I have my own reasons. But they aren't 'racists' in the same way as Labour aren't socialist or Conservative aren't thatcherites.

If you don't think there's a racial element to the overwhelming majority of UKIP's membership's policy positions then I think you're being a tad naïve.

I don't know if you know this or not, but nimbus clouds hate the gays.

Let's not be complacent. The next election could go one of two ways. They may syphon off hard right votes from the tories thereby weakening them against labour, or they may be so successful peddling their miserable schtick that the conservatives enter into coalition with them.
 
People are idiotic and obviously know nothing of history to connect storms, floods, earthquakes, disease outbreaks, wars etc. to some kind of sign. It's not as if these things are new phenomena. Was what the message when Pompeii happened? The Aleppo Earthquake? The Black Plague?
