Rozanne Duncan, a one-time party activist in the Kent constituency Ukip leader Nigel Farage is contesting in the general election, reacts bitterly to her explusion in a BBC documentary last night.

In Meet The Ukippers, she is heard for the first time making the remarks that led to her expulsion in December.

She was kicked out as soon as the party hierarchy were aware of her comments recorded for the fly-on-the-wall documentary where was she filmed telling a Ukip press officer: “I have to watch my tongue because I can be very outspoken and it goes against the grain to be careful what I’m saying.”

Declaring she is “absolutely no way I’m a racist”, she adds: “The only people I do have problems with are negroes. And I don’t know why.

“I don’t know whether there is something in my psyche or whether it’s karma from a previous life or whether something happened to me as a very, very young person and I’ve drawn a veil over it - because that sometimes happens, doesn’t it?

“But I really do have a problem with people with negroid features.”

Responding to her expulsion, Ms Duncan claimed there had been a “hidden agenda” against her and she felt “betrayed”.

The BBC Two documentary also features local Ukip chairman Martyn Heale attempting to draw a line under his past membership of the National Front, by saying: “I was never a member of the Gestapo”.

Mr Heale hits out at the attention over his brief membership of the National Front in the past, adding: “I was a f***ing member of the Conservative Party for 22 years, I was a member of the National Front for one year and two months. Why don’t they just let it go?."
