UKIP Yorkshire MEP to be sued for slander by 3 Labour MPs

As I have frequently opined its the low quality of Farage’s chosen candidates that will be UKIP’s undoing on 7th May. Hence the story in the Scunthorpe Telegraph, “Jane Collins is being sued by three Labour MPs over remarks made about the child abuse scandal in Rotherham. ” The three Labour MPs suing are Healey, Barron & Champion who said in a joint statement, : “It is sickening that UKIP could use such an important issue for party political point scoring, and we will challenge these defamatory accusations through every means available to prove they are untrue and to stop UKIP exploiting the terrible abuse for their own political gain.”

The Yorkshire Post, also running the story report, “Ms Collins, who is standing as Ukip’s candidate in Rotherham in the General Election, declined to comment.
