Ukip struggle to get their message across in Sleaford by-election

Here we go again. As Paul Nuttall tries to prove that Ukip is a professional party on the path to electoral success, he may wish to have a word with his party’s campaigns team.

With Ukip fielding a candidate in the Sleaford and North Hykeham by-election, Nigel Farage headed there today to do some broadcast in support of his party. Alas, the campaign banner he stood behind had a glaring error. It read ‘Hykenham’ rather than ‘Hykeham’.

In future, Mr S suspects it’s worth double checking the spelling of the constituency before printing the campaign merchandise.
