Nigel Farage has defended the use of a racist term used by a UKIP candidate – who had to resign after his bigoted comments were uncovered.

Kerry Smith, the party’s candidate in target seat South Basildon and East Thurrock, had been caught using homophobic and racist language in a phone call, and resigned as PPC on Sunday night. In a statement, he said that he wanted “to see the real issues discussed that touch the lives of people” – but did not appear to offer an apology.

Now UKIP leader Nigel Farage has appeared to go one step further by defending some of the terms used by Smith. On his LBC radio show this morning, Farage was asked about Smith’s use of the word “chinky” to describe a Chinese woman. Farage replied:

“If you and your mates were going out for a Chinese, what would you call it?”

Just a reminder about what Nigel Farage says about UKIP being a racist party:
