Paul Nuttall, UKIP’s caretaker leader, has upset the Westminster apple cart by demanding a recount of votes in the Stoke by election.
“I want to check the name on each and every ballot paper cast last night.” A red faced Nuttall declared. “I know I wrote me name on mine. We can knock this dodgy business on the head by checking the ballots to see who actually voted.”
Nuttall became suspicious about electoral fraud in the midlands battleground after hearing reports that Russian hackers were targeting the seat.
“Lots of people about with funny accents. Barely understood some of them round ‘ere.” Nuttall tweeted early Thursday. “I know my people have been voting all week. Have yours?”
Asked if it wasn’t UKIP’s campaign habit of reminding the people of Stoke they are only 72 on UKIP’s target list?
Oh, and his habit of talking complete and utter bollocks, that were the reasons for his failure? Mr. Nuttall wasn’t having it.
“I tell it like I see it.” Mr. Nuttall replied. “I’m bloody relieved I don’t have to move here.”
Mr. Nuttall added to the controversy by demanding to know how many Mohammeds had voted in Stoke?
“I bet it’s all one fella.” He suggested. “That could easily account for why that Corbyn won.”
It seems unlikely that his call for a recount is gaining any traction.
Stoke’s returning officer, asked for comment. suggested Mr. Nuttall might want to scrub his internet history completely clean and start a new identity?
Just have another go Paul.
People do it all the time.
Just don’t lie so fucking much with the new you and maybe don’t encourage racism?
Might broaden the appeal. Worth a shot?
But it is worth reflecting on the fact that the second largest vote in Stoke was for a man now shown to talk almost exclusively with his ass. And what that says about England today?
Very possibly though Stoke has escaped the current fad of politics focused on personality with the election of Mr. Snell.
