/// Mr Farage was due to cut the ribbon on the campaign office of Ukip's general election candidate Jane Collins, but his team said he was not coming out on police advice. ///

Why at the advice of the police, must any political party member, for their own safety be 'holed' up in their offices?

Surely the police's job is to remove any threat, why wasn't this done in this case?

/// It follows his outspoken criticism of the way the grooming scandal in the town had been handled by the local council, but the Labour party accused him of trying to use child abuse to score political points. ///

That is rich coming from the Labour party or any party if it comes to that, don't they all use certain matters so as to score political points?

Apologies for duplicating this story.

Seems like Labour are incapable of running any sort of election campaign with a straight bat. We have the corrupt ballot rigging in Tower Hamlets supported by Red Ken and Galloway, albeit, ex Labour. Now we have the bully boy tactics of the Trades Union and Socialist Coalition (usual suspects) in Rotherham. Do we really want this party to run our government?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sorry. The "allegations" of corrupt ballot rigging in Tower Hamlets.

I sincerely hope so retrocop, and that this joker doesn't damage Labour's vote..I don't exactly rate Milibannd, but definitively over Cameron and even more over this Muppet.

I am urprised the police said
no sorry we suggest you don't go there

not really what they are paid for

Imagine what the reaction would have been if it had been a Muslim councillor 'holed' up in his office because there was an EDL mob, preventing him from coming outside?
