UKIP candidate in sausage rolls bribery case
UKIP candidate for Southampton Itchen Kim Rose was quizzed by Hampshire Police for bribery after he allegedly handed out sausage rolls at an event.
Rose laid on the pastries along with other snacks at a £2-a-head event at a community centre featuring snooker ace Jimmy White in February, according to media reports.
He was cleared of any wrongdoing earlier this month and told the Daily Echo the incident had been crazy.
“The police have said they are not taking any further action,” he said. “They did warn me about the severity of it and warned me about handing out anything else, especially sausage rolls. Now I will be worried every time I pass a bakery.”
