UKIP candidate Dr Gasper: PinkNews readers ‘should be sectioned under Mental Health Act’

UKIP candidate Dr Gasper: PinkNews readers ‘should be sectioned under Mental Health Act’

Outspoken UKIP city council candidate Dr Julia Gasper has said today that PinkNews.co.uk readers have made ‘hysterical accusations of being a murderer’ against her, and that most should be involuntarily committed for psychiatric treatment.

Dr Gasper said she saw similarities between her situation and that of Salman Rushdie, whose 1988 work The Satanic Verses led the Ayatollah of Iran, a country which executes gays, to put a fatwa out for his own execution.

The UKIP candidate for Oxford City’s Quarry and Risinghurst ward had written that gay people needed to stop “complaining about persecution” and start expressing “gratitude” to straight people, on whom they are reliant to be born.
