Ukip has struck a deal with a Polish MEP whose far-right party leader casually uses racial slurs and questions the Holocaust following fears that its grouping in Europe would lose millions of pounds in taxpayers funds. Nigel Farages Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy group recruited an MEP from the Congress of the New Right with the blessing of its controversial leader Janusz Korwin-Mikke, according to reports from Poland. The Polish MEP Robert Iwaszkiewicz is to join the EFDDs ranks as an individual, which will restore the group, a Ukip spokesman said.
The deal means that the EFDD group, set up by Farage, has 25 MEPs from seven countries, which should guarantee that Ukip will maintain about £1m a year in funding. The group received 2.6m (£2.1m) in 2013. Ukip accounts for 53.3% of the group.
In July, he declared in English that the minimum wage should be destroyed and said that four million niggers lost their jobs in the US as a result of President John F Kennedy signing a bill on the minimum wage in 1961. He went on to claim that 20 million young Europeans were being treated as negroes as a result of the minimum wage. He refused to apologise and was fined 10 days of allowances for his comments.
Korwin-Mikke has also called for the vote to be taken away from women, has claimed that the difference between rape and consensual sex is very subtle and said that Adolf Hitler was probably not aware that Jews were being exterminated.

UKIP seems to have worked a deal with the devil in Mr. Korwin-Mikke.

The hate rises continually from their steaming piles of dung put forth by UKIP is disguised as "looking after pensioners", stopping people from claiming "welfare", "being patriotic" very, very similar to the tea party.
