UKIP candid Geoffrey Clark calls for disabled foetuses to be aborted

Some may say this a step too far even for a extreme right wing nutjob but removing the emotional attachement is there anything wrong with wanting to improve the gene pool? Surely this can only be advantageous for all humans in the long run?

And euthanasia for the over-80s and the deportation of 'riff-raff.'

This isn't UKIP policy, it's taken from the personal blog of one of their candidates who has been suspended from the party. :)

Spot on, and as titles should reflect the content of a thread I've changed it. This is a quote from the link posted by the OP:

 

'UKIP reject the abhorrent views expressed in the personal manifesto of Mr Geoffrey Clark'.

This debate has been had on another thread. It should be pointed out though that UKIP initially supported Clark until the outrage got too much. Jeffrey Shaw was also defending him till I pointed out that by that time UKIP had done a u-turn and denounced Clark.

 

Why UKIP attracts nutters like this is another debate.

Are there any figures on how many foetuses are aborted when Downs is detected? It does happen and the option is made known for anyone pregnant with a higher risk (weight and age).

Er, no- but I defended his right (and yours!) to hold opinions from which I dissent.

Democracy, you see.

Like attracts like hence why the party is just full of bitter nutjobs.

You defended his right to express those opinions. Anyone can hold any opinion they want. When public candidates express the views he did and get support from fellow UKIP members then that is wrong.

The BNP always used to use that line 'I'm defending their right to free speech' but would never use their right to free speech and condem their vile opinions.

Democracy is OK as long as it doesn't conflict with your views.

I think UKIP would be doing their party a favour if they aborted Geoffrey Clark before he becomes even more of a loose cannon
