It is no wonder she is happy to be sitting on a Union Jack sofa with views like that. I'm just surprised she is not with someone form a even more right wing party. I sure they could have a lovely conservation about their views on Europe, immigration and foreigners taking away jobs from the British after making a comment like that.
Of course after being caught out she did apologise saying "It was poor judgement and naivety on my part rather than words spoken with any malice.". And the went on to say "I am devastated that I have caused hurt and apologise profusely to both Mr and Mrs Munday.".
The thing is she agreed to the interview and being miked up. She was even told she was being recorded. Clearly that comment slipped out by accident and shows her true thinking rather than that she would like to portray to the press. It probably what she thinks in private, but it does show the sort of people you can get joining UKIP and getting into positions of power.
This wasn't the first time she has been in trouble in the press back in May during the elections she was photographed making signs to a group of protesters. One of the protesters, at the time, said she had made personal remarks their size and when they said she would publish them Janice Atkinson replied ‘I don’t care where you f***ing post this, just f**k off!’. At the time she was the parties press advisor.
In a statement a UKIP spokesman said: "Janice has apologised for the words she used." before going on to say "UKIP in no way condones the use of language that may reflect prejudice or cause offence and we sincerely hope this matter can be resolved privately.".
Hopefully they do something about it public and keep racialism out of politics and read her the riot act. Such behavior is completely unacceptable.
