UKIP suspends leader's girlfriend for sending racist text messages about Meghan Markle

UKIP has suspended its leader's girlfriend over a series of racist text messages she apparently sent about Prince Harry's fiancee Meghan Markle.

Jo Marney, who is currently in a relationship with UKIP leader Henry Bolton, said Markle would "taint" the Royal Family and had a "tiny brain," in messages published by The Mail On Sunday.

She also described Markel as a "negro" and said that black people were ugly.

Marney has apologised for the remarks but insisted they had been taken out of context. Bolton has so far refused to comment.

Marney sent the messages around three weeks before she entered a relationship with the current UKIP leader, the Mail On Sunday adds.

Unsurprising....racists in UKIP?!?!?! Heh. Not even dog whistles at this stage. As they become less and less relevant the racism becomes more and more overt.....

A 25-year-old glamour model dating the leader of Ukip described Grenfell Tower as a “nest of illegal immigrants” and branded Harvey Weinstein's accusers “whingeing little divas” in a series of inflammatory social media posts.
...
On her Facebook account, the former music journalist from Kent described the decision to offer permanent residency to survivors of the Grenfell fire in west London as disgusting. “That entire tower was a nest of illegal immigrants of all varieties,” she said. “That’s why they can’t identify most of them. Meanwhile, British families wait on the council housing list for years.
