The stand-up comic was asked to host the PFA Player of the Year Awards and during the award ceremony, Hunter used the ‘N’ word ten times in a minute.

We were totally dismayed that the performance was the exact opposite of our requirement.”

I see that the Professional Football Association Player of The Year Awards ceremony decided it would be fun to invite the African American comic Reginald D Hunter to provide the entertainment at their spectacular annual showpiece event. This inspired move, reminiscent of a decision of the Entertainments Committee of the Wheel Tappers & Shunters Social Club ,-for our worldwide readers, a bygone bigoted comedy scene- resulted in Hunter using the word n****r 10 times in the first minute of his act.

I like Twitter and I spend an inordinate amount of time on it, as any visit to my timeline can testify - it’s my secret guilty pleasure.

A Ukip candidate – Anna-Marie Crampton, who has been a contributor on a website, has been suspended from the party for remarks attributed to her which claim that:

Only the Zionists could sacrifice their own in the gas chambers."

It is claimed she went on to write that:
