A guest speaker lined up to speak at a Kent UKIP meeting tonight is at the centre of a race row today after launching into a racist tirade yesterday on Facebook.

Steve Barratt, who represents the Thanet Fisherman's Association and is a aredent UKIP supporter posted the offensive messages yesterday in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo shootings that killed 12 people.

Barratt has been invited to speak at the meeting organised by UKIP MEP Janice Atkinson.

Writing on his Facebook page he wrote: "Who cares about the prophet?" and referred to the suspects as "rag heads" telling them "if you don't like our western culture to fuck off back to where you came from" and that because "you didn't like living in a third world shit hole so you decided to be unhappy in the west".

Janice Atkinson and UKIP has so far failed to withdraw the invite for Steve Barratt or condemn his behaviour.
