UK Councillor blames floods on gay marriage laws

UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has launched a clearout of “extremist, nasty or barmy” views from the party after one Councillor blamed recent flooding on the passing of gay marriage laws.
David Silvester, a Henley-on-Thames Councillor who defected to Ukip from the Conservatives, said he had warned Prime Minister David Cameron of “disaster” if gay marriages were allowed.
