UKIP have an absolutely astonishing excuse to why one of their activists ‘blacked up’
Jack Jardine, who is standing for UKIP in Scotland, says party activist Jack Neill was the victim of “false accusations” of racism after pictures of him ‘blacked up’ appeared on Facebook, reports The Herald.
Defending Neill – who calls himself “Union Jack” on social media – Jardine said he was “being bullied by the media” and that it was all an unfortunate misunderstanding.
“Although I don’t condone any kind of ‘blacking up’ it was evidently not what was going on in Mr Neill’s facebook posts.
“Mr Neill suffers from acne frequently and as a result often wears facial masks to treat his skin.”
So repeat after me, “He’s not a racist, he’s a spotty boy”. Some commentators wanted to know more about Neill’s unique beauty regime.
While another took issue with another heinous act committed in the photos.
