Excerpt:
A UKIP candidate is today being investigated by party chiefs over a string of comments left on Facebook.
Liz Mahon, who is standing for the party in Garrison ward, Preston Council, made posts hailing Enoch Powell, criticising Nigel Farage for paying tribute to Nelson Mandela and calling halal food 'sick evil satanic'.
The politician made a number of her posts on the Facebook pages of the far-right English Defence League and Britain First parties.
