I can't believe this..what next from the ukip tories

A candidate for the Ukip leadership has called for ex-members of the BNP and the English Defence League to be allowed to sign up to the party. Raheem Kassam, a former aide to Nigel Farage, said the blanket ban on far-right activists joining Ukip should be scrapped and membership granted if they had renounced their views.
