A UKIP parliamentary hopeful has been suspended as a candidate over a leaflet calling for welfare claimants to be banned from driving to free up space on the roads. Lynton Yates sent out a campaign flyer suggesting people on benefits “could really catch a bus”. Is this the quality of candidate Ukip aim to put up at the election? I hope the people of Wales are not fooled by Ukip’s description of itself as the “people party”, as we will sleepwalk into a Tory/Ukip government if not.
