Lib Dems select Greg Judge to take on quite possibly Ukip’s worst candidate
I know it’s a tough call, but George Hargreaves currently has it in the race to be Ukip’s worst Parliamentary candidate with his extreme and nasty views – such as wanting the NHS to refuse to treat people with AIDS – mixed in with the eccentric and offensive – such as believing Manchester United sponsors Satanism.
Even more best wishes than usual to Greg Judge who has been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate to face him in Coventry South:
Am pleased to announce that I am now the @CovLibDems Parliamentary Candidate for #CoventrySouth. Part of the @LibDems team in #Coventry

UPDATE: Weirdly (though I guess it’s good), Ukip now are backtracking on having George Hargreaves as a candidate, though in doing so are making blanket denials that don’t tally with what their own members were told previously:
@PaulBrandITV I've checked & I can confirm the Rev George Hargreaves is not a UKIP candidate. Dragons everywhere can relax 🙂

@Irkheart embarrassing for @UKIP if they've now backtracked after ousting local candidate. Smacks of disorganisation.

Despite, too, what their previous, ousted, candidate said:
@allanandrews @TheSimonGilbert Will say more soon? Stunned at being asked to stand aside, but have agreed..
