00:10small boats, more scum entering the UK, I hope your family get robbed, beaten or attacked.

00:15Edward Oakenful, your candidate for Darbyshire Dales, who says importing sub-Saharan Africans

00:21would dilute the IQ of the country.

00:23Your candidate, Robert Lomas, Barnsley North, who says – and these are difficult words

00:29to say – black people of Britain should get up off their lazy arses and stop acting

00:34like savages.

01:11guy yesterday.

01:12And the reason is very clear.

01:13Well, hang on.
