COMPUTERS can be highly dangerous in the wrong hands - especially if the person sitting behind it is fond of UKIP.

John White, who stood for Nigel Farage's men at the 2010 general election for Mid-Worcestershire, made unwanted national headlines this week for sending Sir Peter Luff a racist email about murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence's mum.

But The Source can reveal it wasn't the first time Mr White, who lives in Evesham, has attempted to put the world to rights by emailing Luffy.

A few years ago he was actually a paid up member of the Conservative Party, and contacted our knighthood-sporting MP to ask him for his views on Europe.

Mr White found himself so disgusted with Sir Peter's proudly pro-European stance, he decided to immediately withdraw his membership from the Tories and join UKIP in protest, paving the way for a bumbling political journey to this week's embarrassing revelations.

The Source can also reveal that Mr White, who has let his UKIP membership lapse, was even a paid-up member of the Labour Party before joining the Tories.

As far as I'm aware, this makes him the first political turncoat in Worcestershire to complete a hat-trick of parties, although we have plenty of 'single switchers' around.

With a record like this, would he like to stand for Worcester City Council?

* TALKING of the city council, something spooky has been going on.

Rather alarmingly, an in-house report to the council's audit committee this week said when it comes to the staff payroll, there is a "risk" over the "accuracy of the establishment".

When eagle-eyed Labour politician Jo Hodges asked what this meant in plain English, Andy Bromage, one of the council's finance experts said due to some kind of oversight there was a "high risk" the payroll could inadvertently shovel money to staff that have already left, which he amusingly dubbed "ghost employees".

Happily, The Source can report that this hasn't yet happened, and after finding the anomaly out, it now surely won't.

No wonder these council jobs are so sought after.

* HAVE you ever wondered what Lord Faulkner of Worcester and the rest of his lovable fellow peers do all week when not laughing at terrible commons legislation?

The answer is probably eating after Anton Edelmann, head chef at that super-privileged hangout The Savoy for 21 years, was drafted in to spruce up the House of Lords menu this week.

The Source has been given an insight into some of the food Mr Edelmann serves up including crab tortellini with cauliflower puree, quail salad with foie gras and king prawns with mango.

How the other half live eh. Never mind - you're only paying for this.
