Fears of UKIP turning Nazi

UKIP risks becoming a Nazi party if it picks the “wrong” leader to succeed Paul Nuttall, one of the contenders warned.

Former army officer Henry Bolton appeared to be taking a swipe at Anne Marie Waters, who has denounced Islam as “evil”.

He said targeting one group was reminiscent of tactics adopted by fascists.

Mr Bolton added: “The last thing UKIP needs is to become the UK Nazi Party.

“With wrong leadership, we could see a swing away from our values.”
