Reason #983 to vote UKIP?
Election leaflets urging Muslims in Newham to vote for the Conservative Party and claiming the council is run by gays and atheists are being investigated by police.

Look, it's only the betting shops one I find hypocritical (source: the picture embedded in the coverage you posted). All other pledges seem to be reasonably accommodating, and the coverage clearly mentions that -
So what's the problem?
I reckon that 'another leaflet' has been published and circulated by UKIP as a counter-weapon; in order to undercut the Conmen- I mean Consies.
Another leaflet, which may not be from the Conservatives, lists what it calls the Labour Party’s failures in the borough, saying: “In senior council positions, there are seven times more gays and three times less ethnic minorities than the resident population.
So what's the problem?

Imagine the media storm - "UKIP leaflet stating there are too many women and Muslims in Rochdale Council"

The problem is it's homophobic and discriminatory to non-Muslims, Don't forget it's only the local rag reporting it, not some far-right warmongering machine, most of it is as you say on the level. UKIP haven't even mentioned it unlike the Media/Left/Hippies do when the shoe is on the other foot.

Homophobia shouldn't be a big issue here on SN, as the majority here comes across as homophobic, anyway. Supposed investigation of the atheists can't be such a big issue, either. That's because a super-duper logical than a logic atheist would have nothing to hide. But Consies' opportunistic accommodating stance to Muslims may profoundly disturb an average SN poster that may take their love for Muslims as a rejection to non-Muslim. The main thing is: Let's see if this helps UKIP to gain more votes.
I am surprised that the leaflet doesn't involve the objective- "Convert every non-Muslim into Muslim and force them eat Halal". It would have really worked in this current climate.
