UKIP's new leader has told Sky News the UK should 'look into' whether to ban people handing out the Koran in public. More on this story here:
He said:"It's important to analyse why people behave the way they do - if religions or cults are actually encouraging people to do bad things then we should be able to talk about that and look at it carefully and actually see if there's a solution to stop people just answering the demands or the commands to go and be violent."UKIP finished last in this month's Brecon and Radnorshire by-election, with the party gaining fewer votes than the Monster Raving Loony Party.
"The primary reason why UKIP has done badly, electorally, since 2016 is because we actually forced the other parties to deliver our policy - Brexit.Mr Braine is reported to have made similar comments about the Koran at a recent hustings event for UKIP members. The newspaper also reported Mr Braine branded Islam an"alien ideology" and suggested there were areas of the UK where"you're simply not welcome" as a non-Islamic person.
"Virulent Islamophobia was not a successful tactic under the previous UKIP leadership, and will not be this time. Our nation knows better."
