Plan B Forum

In its first two days, a parody UKIP account - inspired by a UKIP councillor's comments linking flooding with gay marriage - has amassed more than 80,000 followers.

By any standards, the rise of the @UkipWeather Twitter account is pretty remarkable. The spoof account has tweeted just 16 times since it was set up on Saturday, but has gathered more than 80,000 followers. That's more than double the number of followers of the official @UKIP Twitter account. The Twitter account was inspired by comments made by UKIP councillor David Silvester - now suspended - who blamed recent flooding in the UK on the government's decision to legalise gay marriage.

UKIP has suspended an Oxfordshire councillor after he blamed recent flooding on the government's decision to legalise gay marriage.

In a letter to his local paper, David Silvester said he had warned the PM the legislation would result in "disaster".

He said David Cameron had acted "arrogantly against the Gospel".

In the letter to the Henley Standard he wrote: "The scriptures make it abundantly clear that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters such as storms, disease, pestilence and war."

He added: "I wrote to David Cameron in April 2012 to warn him that disasters would accompany the passage of his same-sex marriage bill.

"But he went ahead despite a 600,000-signature petition by concerned Christians and more than half of his own parliamentary party saying that he should not do so.

"It is his fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods."

He went on to say that no man, however powerful "can mess with Almighty God with impunity and get away with it".

UKIP leader Nigel Farage said he was entitled to his "strong Baptist view of the world", but had defied a request not to do further media interviews.

Mr Farage said: "So we suspended him, quite rightly."

BETROTHED homosexuals are to use their magical flood-creating powers to bring new life to desert regions.

Gay people in civil partnerships, who have been granted the power to summon rainstorms from the heavens by God and UKIP, plan to use it benevolently.

Nathan Muir, who saw storm clouds forming as he kissed his husband on their wedding day, said: “We’re honeymooning in Sub-Saharan Africa so that we can bring the waters of gayness to its parched landscape.

“If one small kiss summons a full-on pea souper imagine what fully penetrative gay intercourse could do.”

He added: “A lot of people think God dislikes homosexuals, but if that’s so why did he give us supernatural powers?

“Apparently he destroyed Sodom by sending loads of fire and brimstone, but those things are very useful in the right amounts.

“If Sodom’s level of gay sex had been just a fraction lower it would’ve been kept snugly warm. The moral is that God’s fine with moderate amounts of gay sex.”

Homosexuals are being welcomed in drought-prone regions, with Australia’s Irri-GAY-Tion chain of honeymoon hotels in the Outback paying couples $2,500 a night.

And in Africa, gay marriages are the new craze among farmers keen to provide for their families.

Ethiopian Abdu Gobena said: “They say homosexuality is an abomination in God’s sight, but on the other hand walking seven miles a day for drinking water sucks pretty hard too.”
