UKIP LEADER HENRY Bolton has said he has split from his girlfriend after she allegedly made racist comments about Meghan Markle.
Jo Marney is said to have written texts saying that “black American” Markle would “taint the royal family, and her marriage to Prince Harry would pave the way for a “black king”.
In a statement to the Daily Mail apologising, Marney said she was “absolutely devastated by the messages that [she] sent and the distress [she] caused anyone by those messages”.
They were unnecessary. They were reckless and they were overly exaggerated purely for effect.
Speaking to the BBC today, Bolton said his relationship with Marney was “obviously quite incompatible” with his role as party leader.
“We have together made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end,” he said.
She is utterly distraught and close to breakdown over all of this. She never intended any of these messages to be made public. They were made some time ago and indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some context to them which in time will be revealed.
The messages were said to have been sent before Bolton and Marney began their relationship.
The 54-year-old, recently-elected UKIP leader also said that 25-year-old model had been suspended from the party over the comments.
This web summit crowd sound like an arrogant pack of smug w@nkers tbh.
So do you
I take it you’ll be off to Portugal next year then.
Good one Del.
Is there a way to block stories about the Web Summit appearing on my news feed?
So true, Cosgrave’s spin to get free publicity again.
Why would you invite a virus, too a web summit?
I think fine Gael know they have to keep enda away from the spotlight and prying media before the election because he’s bound to make a fool of himself again at some stage.

Priorities I think?
In September, the indo’s front page was all about senior FG saying that we would see less of him leading up to the election. They obviously know that he is a liability but, with the verbal bucket-shuffling he’s been doing, i’d say they’d like to put him down now.

Im glad, i might attend now
Spot on
The invite arrived last Friday, didn’t give him much notice did they? He should tell them he’s busy washing his hair that day.
Or in discussions with the security services about surrounding the banks and ATM’s?
Now now Kerry, you know that was a dream he had and is just a bit confused about fact or fiction?
I’m sure they’ll release all of the emails in a spectaculary unprofessional manner to make themselves seem better.
Paddy Cosgrave is a pox.
Enda Kenny isn’t?
The Web summit is turning into another garath brooks type of fiasco, enough is enough it’s gone to Lisbon grand, no one really cares if Kenny was invited or not, more he said she said crap
Do the orgainsers of this web summit believe hotels in Lisbon will be any cheaper than Dublin? Deluded if so.
All you need, is the weather.
Yes but as per Paddy Cosgraves usual requirements more than likely Enda will have to buy a ticket :-)
“Sorry lads, I’d love to attend, but I’m busy reconfiguring the large hadron collider with this fella I bumped into in Narnia.”
Nah, he’ll be on manouvers with the army that week.
ATM watch?
It’s like being invited to dinner at your girlfriend’s house who you just bent over backwards for, after she has announced she’d having a fling with a guy she met in Ibiza and moving over there to live with him.
@ Supernova: Good. I can picture him at a talk about cloud computing remarking about how its always overcast in Castlebar.
Haha, he’d ramble on about how the entire summit is under attack from the hacker group lizard squad. Send in the army!!
Why can’t Enda grow some balls and appear on Vincent Browne? Thats where we all want to see the clown make an ass of himself.
Need to be GM balls then Ivor…
You mean Angela Merkel’s ear-rings
Funny place for her to have ears and earring lol.
I’m sure they’ll manage away fine without him. And i think he should buy a ticket like everybody else if he wants his photo opp, as thats all he’s gonna be there for.
Merkel and Draghi might buy hm a ticket. They might see it as another opportunity for him to make a threatening statement about capital controls aimed at the portugese, like when he was in madrid, when they used him to warn the portugese that if they don’t sign up to eu inposed austerity, the money supply to portugal will dry up.
In fairness opening a email can be a difficult task. Possibly beyond Enda….
Has to remain under lock and key. Accident waiting to happen. FG won’t release him..
I’m sure his busy schedule will involve a lot of dithering and indecision and trying to think up some more badly thought out tall tales.
Fcukin nerds.
Nerds invented sex toys and computer games lol.
Sulking in the corner, what a leader lol.
Why don’t you give it a rest slow boy your three and four year old tales of disaster are as stale as your ideas.
Insults rather than having a debate, I do not think I an even a year on the journal…
I think you need to educate yourself on what is happening rather than believing all the nonsense from this government. Because we are in a mess and the only ones who can’t see it are those who are F.G. / Labour supporters…
If you want a debate then go ahead but Ireland is in a mess as the unemployment figures are 400,000 but over 70,000 are on so called schemes like scambridge etc…
I could go into a debate with you but after seeing your twitter profile with 4 photos of Hitler on them, I see you are just a troll looking to pick on someone… Have a nice life…
Oh, thank God ! He’d probably declare war on China or Russia or something. He can’t be trusted in public…
a calculated snub showing a stupid degree of arrogance
Weird.
I came in here looking for news…
Your car is on fire, that is news lol.
I think Portugal will be a flop. there was a synergy to Dublin – lot of US tech companies already here. made sense for a lot of executives to travel and tie it in with a visit to their European headquarters. Ridiculous state of affairs that this is moving given our dependence and national “brand” associated with US tech. A combination of a greedy promoter and foolish government that has come to this.
Enda did the right thing by not attending their web Summit, after they dumped Dublin for Lisbon.
“Come into my parlour” said the spider to the fly…
AAAAhhhh Enda please go lets see if you can put both feet into your big mouth, You might need the army to stand around you in case there is a problem, but then they might be standing at all the ATM machines to keep fthe foreign beggar’s from sitting under or beside them. Would you just go somewhere out of this country & take the rest of your cronies with you.
Whatever,im outa here.
Whatever
have your say
