Voice of Wales’ homophobic rant ‘endorsed by UKIP councillor’

A former Independent councillor who defected to Ukip has been accused of endorsing a vile homophobic Facebook rant by the notorious far right channel that calls itself the Voice of Wales.

Stan Robinson, who was Ukip’s candidate in Llanelli in last year’s general election, and convicted fraudster Dan Morgan jointly run the Voice of Wales video channel.

In a Facebook post, Voice of Wales reproduced a photograph of window displays in Swansea city centre, advertising the city’s Pride festival, together with text which reads: “Remember I recently said about there being zero effort by anyone to celebrate VE Day in Swansea …

“This is today, all new pride crap plastered everywhere. Lloyds Bank, M&S, Slug & Lettuce and more!

“They will go above and beyond to celebrate degeneracy whilst ignoring our hero’s [sic].

“Pride is one of the seven deadly sins.

“Men can’t be women, you perverts.”

‘Hate speech’

One of the people who commented under the post was Llanelli town councillor Amanda Carter. Elected as an Independent in 2022, she soon switched to Ukip, resisting calls from Labour to resign and fight a by-election.

Her comment under the Voice of Wales rant was: “Hopefully this will end soon. We have had Pride all year.”

A Llanelli Labour source, who did not want to be named because of the fear of recriminations, said: “This is the sort of hate speech riddled with prejudice and bigotry we have come to expect from the Voice of Wales.

“Free speech is all very well, but when it is inciting people to hate minorities because of their sexual orientation it is completely unacceptable and has to be called out. In my view, these are certainly not the kind of statements that should be made by people who aspire to elected office. We should be striving for social cohesion, not trying to incite people to hate others who are different from them.

“As for Voice of Wales’ claim that VE Day was ignored in Swansea, this is clearly untrue.There was no shortage of events in Swansea to commemorate the heroism of those who fought against fascism in World War Two, including a swell-attended service at St Mary’s Church in Swansea, which also involved a procession through the city centre which I know was greatly appreciated by veterans, their families and the general public. The suggestion that this and other events did not occur is an example of the kind of misinformation and fake news associated with Voice of Wales.

“Equally there were well-attended events in Llanelli, including in Dafen, as well as a ceremony where flags were raised at Llenelli Town Hall. We can do without the lies of Voice of Wales.”

‘Unacceptable’

The source said Cllr Carter’s Facebook comment was also unacceptable.

“While the words she used were not in themselves as vile as those used by Voice of Wales, my interpretation of what she said certainly amounted to an endorsement of Voice of Wales’ hateful take on a festival which provides support and enjoyment to many people.”

The anti-fascist campaign group Hope Not Hate’s latest report on UKIP states: “The UK Independence Party, better known as UKIP, is a far-right party that played a leading role in pushing for the UK to leave the European Union. Founded in 1993 as a single-issue Eurosceptic campaign group, the party began to perform well in local and national elections under the leadership of Nigel Farage, and it was UKIP’s growing popularity in the years leading up to the 2015 general election that prompted then-Prime Minister David Cameron to promise a referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU if given another term.

“However, the party has since faced a catastrophic fall in fortunes, with its vote share and income dwindling to the point of oblivion. It faced relentless infighting and ten changes of leadership between the resignation of Nigel Farage in 2016 and the election of leader Neil Hamilton in 2021. In January last year, Hamilton stepped down and Lois Perry, a climate sceptic campaigner, briefly took over. She resigned after 34 days, citing a bad case of pneumonia (and has since re-emerged as director of the British offshoot of the Heritage Foundation, an American climate denial pressure group).

“Nicholas Tenconi, the head of Turning Point UK, is now UKIP’s leader. In a podcast in January 2025, he admitted being sentenced for a fight outside a nightclub. A media report from his 2011 court case mentions Tenconi punched a victim in an apparent drunken argument over a cigarette, which led to the victim being kicked on the ground. Tenconi avoided jail and was fined and ordered to complete 240 hours of unpaid work. “My debt to society is paid,” Tenconi told a podcaster.

“UKIP entered 24 candidates at the general election, almost half the 43 it put up in 2019. They included Voice of Wales‘s co-founder Stan Robinson, who has previously called for a journalist to be castrated with a ‘rusty blade”.

“All but one lost their deposits. UKIP also performed badly in the local elections, putting forward just 16 candidates, including the conspiracy theorist Leo Robinson, who has told his followers to prepare for war with ‘death jab agents’.”

Farage has gone home – to France – the original place of his surname where they speak ‘foreign’ not English which is what he deplores. He boasts of getting rid of the BNP by giving them somewhere to go – Reform UK (previously Brexit party). Safe yes? NO! Pardon the analogy but his politically unaborted baby – UKIP – is still standing candidates which is a convenient reminder of what HE is about. Hate not hope. Good work lads. You will do the most in taking this fraud down. If he does not go back and eradicate it, it will… Read more »

Farage conveniently missing a chance to ask the PM a question but knowing he would have had his backside handed him on a plate and shown up for the fraud he is.

Even if it is a thin deal.

Rumour has it that this week he’s skipping the Commons and sunning himself in southern France.

You missed Patriotic Alternative and Mark Collett’s cunning plan to infiltrate Reform.

And not even HARD CORE; https://whocanivotefor.co.uk/person/6704/janice-elizabeth-mackay is UKIP’s closest to a pinup now lingerie model & 34-day Leader, Lois Perry, fled. Only Mackay of the 24 last July retained the deposit. The announced Reform candidate in Stone (S.Staffs) stepped down with under an hour to spare, saying Vote Tory. By some miracle, Mackay from hundreds of miles away in Hamilton, Scotland managed to submit all the paperwork, signatures, pay the money etc. The Lord works in mysterious ways!

UKIP’s ugly head rears up again. While Stan’s partner convicted fraudster Dan ‘Vow’ Morgan has more sense than to stand again for pubic election, his Self-Appointed Master, the Rogue Builder with five criminal convictions and a record for dishonesty stretching back more than a decade, doesn’t. For just a hop skip and splash away from Wales, the name “WALKER, BEN (UKIP)” has appeared on ballot papers for a by-election in Severn Ward, Stroud on June 11th! Walker, UKIP’s Forever Chairperson, was the blackguard exposed by a NATION.CYMRU investigation when he fraudulently became a Magistrate/JP by falsifying, both in writing and… Read more »

Voice of Wales? More like a stain on Wales. We shouldn’t be giving this pair of losers any coverage in the media.

Besides convicted rogue Walker and convicted hooligan Benito Tenconi, whose remarkable avoidances of jail you reported, UKIP has at least one more convicted crim on its Board, a Richard Inman. Tommy Robinson would have felt right at home, but after its vertically- & follicly-challenged Leader bottled the Runcorn By, the griftaholic serial jailbird sure won’t be hitching his star to the busted UKIP wagon! Alleged money-launderer “Pastor” Rikki Doolan, Yaxley-Lennon’s religious mentor, last week publicly quit UKIP.

There’s two other Robinsons close to UKIP’s Corto Incel – it’s a Robinson Affair! “Father” Calvin Robinson, UKIP’s Lead “Spokes Person” not on Bicycles but on Everything, has recently been defrocked for the fourth or fifth time as he grifts from microchurch to microchurch. He’s now deleted all UKIP “badging” from his begging-bowl socmedia. Then there’s Stan Robinson, UKIP Spokes Person for Whales, whose English is as toe-curling as his Welsh — he approved the use of a “rust blade”, not a rusty one, on Adam Boulton.

Love is love, but I would question whether they’re capable of feeling emotion.

Amanda ‘last year in office’ Carter and Dan ‘scams’ Morgan, though not the sharpest knives in any drawer, are like scalpels next to duffer STAN ROBERTSON_____ All that hard graft by him, for years, touting this party, but Stan STILL hasn’t figured out UKIP exists for two and only two reasons______ To aid the Conservatives_____ To enrich the lying scumbag who runs it_____. Stan is so dumb it is truly funny!
