that 264+ sheep were killed due to neglect, cruelty, starvation and lambs drowning in mud and the countrside was littered with 119 carcasses just abandoned to rot in one of Ukip’s prime target constituencies can hardly be seen as Ukip’s fault.
However that Ukip’s vetting procedure for their parliamentary candidates failed to pick up the facty that their candidate was living in such horrific squalor on his farm is very clearly Ukip’s fault!
Ex-UKIP candidate David Evans jailed for animal cruelty

A farmer who was set to stand as a UKIP candidate in Cornwall has been jailed for four months for animal cruelty.
David Evans, from Week St Mary, near Bude, was also banned from keeping sheep and ordered to pay costs of £714.
At Bodmin Magistrates’ Court, he admitted six charges of causing suffering and improperly storing carcasses.
Animal welfare officers described conditions at Evans’ 40-acre holding as the worst they had seen.
On 6 February, inspectors found 145 sheep in such a poor condition that they had to be put to sleep.

They also found 119 carcasses in various states of decay scattered across the farm.
The court heard Evans had ignored help and advice by both Cornwall Council and The Animal and Plant Health Agency in 2012.
After Thursday’s hearing, Jonathan McCulloch, who investigated the case, said: “In 15 years as an animal health inspector, this case is by far the worst I have ever experienced.
“Dead sheep were scattered across the farm, new born lambs had died after getting stuck in mud.
“Mr Evans had done very little to ensure the safety of his sheep.”

In October, when the case came to light, Evans was de-selected as the UKIP candidate for Camborne and Redruth, a marginal parliamentary seat held by the Conservatives.
Conservative MP George Eustice won the seat by 66 votes more than the closest Liberal Democrat rival in 2010.
UKIP views the constituency as key to the party’s electoral performance in 2015.
Evans has previously told BBC News he was “disappointed but not surprised” to be de-selected.
He said he felt he had not had a chance to tell his side of the story.

“The practice of sport is a human right!. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.” –Olympic Charter
There are times when it is reasonable to believe ‘Sport’ is not so much a right but an obligation by diktat!
However boring you may find sport: there are many who derive great vicarious pleasure from watching it – Particularly Women’s Beach Volleyball & Women’s Gymnastics; some even enjoy being a part of a baying mob at football games!
