UKIP have called upon emergency procedures to suspend Councillor David Silvester following remarks made to the media over the weekend. The South East Chairman Roger Bird has stated: We cannot have any individual using the UKIP banner to promote their controversial personal beliefs which are not shared by the Party. Everyone is entitled to their own religious ideology which is central to a free and fair society. Councillor Silvesters views are his own and in no way reflect the Partys position. Indeed Councillor Silvester himself has clearly stated this. However, Councillor Silvester has today acted contrary to Party requests and continued to court the media in order to promote his own personal beliefs. This has caused significant offence to many people and goes against the core principles of UKIP. It is not fair on the many thousands of hard working members of UKIP to have one person take attention away from their efforts and successes by promoting their own controversial views despite being requested not to do so.
