I AM deeply offended by the lack of an apology from UKIP’s Cllr Paul Richardson following the comments reported in The Bolton News yesterday.

Just because you put “only joking” after a statement doesn’t protect it from being sexist, racist or anything else.

Sadly Cllr Richardson has shown his true colours. UKIP is not the new party of people.

It is, as we have seen across the UK, full of sexist, misogynistic dinosaurs who belong in the stone ages.

I credit the local chair of Bolton for asking him to apologise, but will you now take action following him saying “tough” to your request?

Show Bolton whether UKIP is what you claim it to be by taking action against Cllr Richardson and his comments. Or are you happy to let this continue?
