Today's hate figure Peter Bucklitsch has now deleted his entire Twitter account, which means we can add cowardice to the charges.

While it is no surprise to find a Ukip candidate holding such views, Bucklitsch has been a member of two other parties.

In the 2010 general election he was the Liberal Democrat candidate for South Thanet, and he was a Crowborough town councillor for the party before that.

When Bucklitsch stood for Ukip in Wimbledon in 2015 voters were told  that he joined UKIP in 2013 after leaving the Lib Dems over the issue of university tuition fees.

What they were not told was that he fought and lost another Crowborough town council seat for the Conservatives in the mean time.
