“UKIP candidate’s outburst shows their fear of the Greens” says Keith Taylor MEP.
The Green Party’s MEP for South East England has hit out at UKIP after a member of his party was subjected to an expletive outburst from MEP candidate Janice Atkinson.
Ms Atkinson told Maria Pizzey, a Green Party activist, to ‘F*** off’. Keith Taylor, is representing the same constituency that Ms Atkinson is hoping to be elected to represent.
He said: “It’s becoming increasingly clear that UKIP fear the Greens. They know that we offer hope, where they offer fear and they know we will always stand up against them in debate.
“In this election campaign we’ve see the police called on one of our members who tweeted the truth about UKIP and our campaigners abused by their candidates. When we stand up to them they do their best to shut us down.
“In the run up to these elections UKIP seem to be hell bent on proving to people why they shouldn’t be trusted to represent people. Not only do their current MEPS not show up to Parliament but their candidates are blatantly rude to those who stand against their politics of fear.
“We Greens won’t be shut up by the UKIP bullies and we don’t shy away from exposing the politics of hate they represent.”
Ms Atkinson was not available to comment.
