I’m at Ukip conference, where of course you can buy Nigel Farage condoms.

Following the revelation, Labour MP David Lammy said:
It's usually the condom on the 🛎🔚 not the other way round.https://t.co/PK8TI5QBNT

The weirdest stuff at the UKIP conference
Farage condoms are not the only troubling sight at the UKIP conference. The following looks remarkably like homophobic literature dressed up as ‘health concerns’:

And anyone thinking that would be right. The book tackles topics such as “why homosexuality is a public health issue”, and “the ‘born gay’ myth”.
It doesn’t get any more woke looking at UKIP’s policy agenda. Leader Gerard Batten has suggested Muslim-only prisons and security screenings, among other policies against what he calls the “death cult” of Islam.
Meanwhile, Twitter user TechnicallyRon mocked-up a UKIP conference schedule:

UKIP seems to be fading more and more into the fringes. The party is desperate to remain relevant. But it’s unlikely Farage condoms are going to help revive UKIP… or anyone’s sex life.
