UKIP sells out the UK!

August 25, 2004 10:30 AM

The UK Independence Party yesterday stunned all those that voted for them in the European and Local Elections in June by selling out the UK's bid for the 2012 Olympics and backing Paris.

Members of UKIP, who advocate immediate withdrawal from the European Union, unfurled a huge banner outside London's city hall with "Paris 2012 Candidate City" written above the Olympic rings. London, Paris, Madrid, Moscow and New York City are the five cities accepted as candidates to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. The winner will be decided by the International Olympic Committee in July 2005.
