People are pointing out an obvious problem with this anti-EU Ukip leaflet

A piece of EU referendum campaign literature distributed by Ukip is making the rounds on the internet for, well, entirely Ukip-esque reasons.

The campaign literature in support of West Worthing candidate in next month's local elections, Trevor England, lists a few reasons to vote leave in June, including:

Let's get our democracy back

Stop mass immigration

Let's have controlled immigration

Stop building massive wind farms

And then:

Let’s invest in sustainable energy

Oh dear.

While the sustainability of wind farms - and wisdom of subsidies - is a hot topic, Twitter users reacted accordingly to the jarring slip up.

This is not the first time Ukip has had an interesting interpretation of renewable energy.

Last year, Ukip candidate for Lincolnshire posed the following question in a Cleethorpe debate:

What happens when renewable energy runs out?

Well.
