Ukip leader Paul Nuttall is a lying bastard who will willingly use one of football’s greatest tragedies as a means to influencing voters.
Your racist uncle Steve’s favourite party leader is currently fighting the Stoke-on-Trent by-election and, under intense scrutiny, has massively shot himself in the foot, face, shoulder and balls over remarks made about the Hillsborough disaster back in 2011.
After claiming on his website to have lost “close personal friends” at the Hillsborough in 1989, Nuttall revealed yesterday in an interview with Liverpool’s Radio City News this wasn’t the case.

I haven’t lost anyone who was a close personal friend. It was people who I knew through football and things like that.” [/quote]
The post had appeared on Nuttall’s website although he denies he was involved with publishing it – despite the fact the same quotes included in the article appear in an interview he gave to the BBC back in 2011.
The press officer who published the story offered her resignation to the party yesterday but it was turned down.
Nuttall has also had to defend his position as a Hillsborough survivor in recent days, with a report by The Guardian raising doubts about his attendance. He vehemently denied these allegations in yesterday’s interview.
[quote] “I just want to make it perfectly clear. I was there on that day. I’ve got witnesses, people who will stand up in court and back me 100 per cent.
“It’s cruel and it’s nasty. It’s making out as if my family are lying as well, which is just not fair or right.” [/quote]
Only way Nuttall could be less popular with Scousers is if it turns out he wasn’t at Hillsborough, but having a beer with Kelvin Mackenzie.

It’s hard to take anything Nuttall says seriously because he is such a perennially dodgy git.
He has previously been grilled over his claims of holding a PhD and being a former professional footballer. More recently, Staffordshire police have said they are investigating an allegation of election fraud involving Nuttall, after his nomination papers for the Stoke Central by-election gave an address in the city – at which he subsequently admitted he was not living.

Quite a track record, and, in light of yesterday’s revelation, one that only adds weight to the pretty sound theory that Paul Nuttall is, in fact, a lying bastard. A stupid, tweed-wearing, baldy, deranged lying bastard, who will happily lie about Hillsborough to win votes.
