Businesses should be allowed to turn women, gay or black people and refuse them service, a Ukip councillor has claimed.
Donna Edmunds, who is also standing for election to the European Parliament, claimed firms should not be ‘forced to serve or sell to anyone’, but today expressed ‘regret’ at her remarks.
It comes just days after Nigel Farage claimed his party’s candidates were of a ‘quality and calibre’ Ukip could be proud of.
Miss Edmunds, an MEP candidate for the South East and a Lewes district councillor, posted the comments on an internet forum.
She had been asked whether she supported remarks made by Henley-on-Thames Ukip councillor David Silvester who said the floods this winter had been caused by the Government’s support for gay marriage.
The mother of one claimed she did not agree with her party colleague but said business owners should be allowed to refuse service to anyone they wanted to for any reason, the paper said.
She said ‘I believe that all business owners, Christian, Muslim, gay, straight, should be allowed to withhold their services from whomever they choose whenever they choose.
‘It’s their business. Why should they be forced to serve or sell to anyone?’
She later told reporters: ‘Business owners should be free to turn people away for whatever reason they choose – be they gay, black, or a woman.
‘I would not condone their actions, and would not shop in such a place. In fact, many people would probably choose not to shop there.
‘However, I am a libertarian and do not think the government should legislate against such things.’
James Ledward, editor of GScene Gay Magazine, described her views as ‘horrendous’. He said: ‘I’m flabbergasted. There is no place for views like this in 2014.’
