Nick Clegg ‘dismayed’ by Nigel Farage’s rant

Nick Clegg has accused Ukip leader Nigel Farage of using the Paris shooting to make “political points” and to imply British Muslims are “part of the problem”.

Britain’s deputy prime minister hit out after Farage suggested the attack on the offices of a satirical magazine should lead to questions about the UK’s “gross policy of multiculturalism”.

“I am dismayed that Nigel Farage immediately thinks, on the back of the bloody murders that we saw on the streets of Paris, his first reflex is to make political points,” Clegg said during his weekly phone-in on LBC radio.
