Former youth leader accuses Ukip of hypocrisy
The former leader of Ukip's youth wing, Oliver Neville, has accused the party of hypocrisy after its MEP Godfrey Bloom appeared to get away lightly for his comments on "bongo bongo land".
Mr Neville was fired by the party leadership after expressing his own views on gay marriage in a radio interview, and believes it was because his opinion was at odds with the party's socially conservative agenda.
He told ITV News: "There is a very big difference between the type of punishments you get depending on who you are and who you know".
