Croydon North’s UKIP candidate branded Croydon an ‘absolute disgusting mess’, and ‘still a dump’, after he came third in last night’s General Election.
Winston McKenzie, who scored 2,899 votes, said that Croydon North needs better communication that focuses on its young people and more proportionate funding throughout the area.
He said: “There are kids sleeping in the streets with no food and no housing, no money. And yet there are people coming into the country being looked after.
“To talk about that type of thing doesn’t make you a racist. I’m a black immigrant and I’m proud!”
Mr McKenzie argued that the young people of Croydon are turning to crime and could only be saved if politicians speak to them on their level, something he said other candidates are incapable of.
“The one thing I will do that the other parties can’t do is communicate.
“They need to get their finger out. I want to know where taxes are going and why are they cutting back on everything. It’s despicable. I will never let go of that.”
The UKIP candidate added that he was feeling ‘fantastic’ because he increased his votes on last year and he will be going on holiday to celebrate.
