Today, following on from announcing their intention to ban the controversial muslim  Burkha, Nigel Farage announced UKIP’s intention to ban the traditional Scottish kilt !

Interviewed on Scottish Television earlier today Mr Farage, ex leader of UKIP, stated the Party’s aims:-

” Scottish men have been forced by their wives to wear this ridiculous garment for decades. It is completely ludicrous that men in one part of the United Kingdom are obliged to wear this skirt in the bitter cold of winter whereas their Souhern counterparts are under no such obligation…..”

“If elected UKIP will ban the wearing of the Scottish kilt in all parts of the United Kingdom…”

The comments caused outrage in Scotland and is likely to be debated in the Scottish parliament next week.

A recent Mori poll gave UKIP 0.017 % of the U.K vote.
