Default OT UKIP

Been a lot on the TV about various UKIPper being "racist".
How about the other parties?
As media scrutiny on UKIP's candidates, members and donors intensifies,
the party has released a list of councillors and candidates from other
parties who have found themselves in various scandals yet have been ignored
by the mainstream media.
The list includes a Conservative who stole £150,000 from a pensioner with
Alzheimers, a former Conservative councillor found guilty of child sex
crimes, a Labour candidate who is a convicted fraudster, and a Liberal
Democrat councillor convicted of 'racially aggravated assault'.
The councillors and candidates named by the party a

John Morgan, Conservative councillor on Vale of White Horse District
Council : Convicted of stealing £150,000 from Beryl Gittens, who had
alzheimers, between 2004 and 2012.
Danny Mayzes, Conservative councillor on Tendring District Council:
Tweeted that the film Machete, which figures violent vigilantes patrolling
the US/Mexico border, showed how to deal with immigration.
David Whittaker, former Conservative councillor on Isle of Wight
Council:"Found guilty of two charges of causing or inciting a child to
engage in sexual activity, sexual activity with a child, and engaging in
sexual activity while in the presence of a child."
Dr Peter Moseley, Conservative candidate for South Kesteven District
Council: Formerly an activist in the hard right British National Party,
selected to contest a safe Conservative seat.
Nilgun Canver, Labour councillor on Haringey Borough Council: A former
cabinet member on Haringey Borough Council who was convicted of lying to the
police over a car crash involving her son.
Yogalingam Dayanamby, Labour candidate for Harrow Borough
Council:Convicted of defrauding the council to which he is seeking election.
Stephen Fenwick, former Liberal Democrat (now independent) councillor on
Sutton Borough Council: Convicted of "racially aggravated assault" in a
railway station pub. Has resigned the Lib Dem whip and now sits as an
independent.
Ajit Atwal, Liberal Democrat councillor on Derby City Council: Refused
to resign after posting a picture on Twitter posing with an AK-47 rifle.

Media scrutiny on UKIP has intensified this week following numerous
allegations relating to the behaviour of various candidates and party
activists.
In a statement accompanying the list, the party says:

"UKIP thanks to the national media, all other political parties and
various trade union- and government-funded lobby groups for the immense
amount of work they have put in, to undertake the Stasi-style 'scrutiny' of
the Facebook pages and Twitter feeds of UKIP's 2,200 local election
candidates - a substantial task which must be costing someone a bundle - and
assures them that every offensive remark reported to us will be considered
seriously by our National Executive Committee's disciplinary committee."
