Hey@TiceRichard the correct answer is.. "thats a awful thing to have said, I certainly do not agree with such language getting used, we will investigate it"

Richard Tice refuses to condemn a Reform representative who said:
“we should melt Nigerians down to fill in our potholes” on @bbclaurak
Reform have no policies. They thrive on hatred, fear and division.
Sickening. #bbclaurak

Straight out of the Trump playbook most of our journalists fail to push back with these deflections https://t.co/1syf3Pai0W

Wow wow wow. Richard Tice is a bloody disgrace.
Councillor Glen Gibbins stated that Nigerians should be melted down to fill the potholes.
Richard Tice totally dismissed Laura Kuenssberg's questions on Gibbins racist rhetoric. Absolutely appalling.#BBCLauraK #GlenGibbins pic.twitter.com/EwuScG0S8f

They claim they have a vetting process.
Their vetting process is just asking whether they are racist or not. if its a yes they pass the vetting if they say they aren't they fail.

When Tice tried to paint reports of the interview as false, Twitter’s best Nigel Farage parody account stepped in.
Lies.
You literally refused to condemn the comments then after saying you condemn anything that is wrong or inappropriate you were asked if that included those comments and you still wouldn't answer: simple. pic.twitter.com/7AAbOxI0BE

Stable doors and horses galloping into the distance spring to mind.
It would have been nice for the media to have asked all these candidate-related questions of Reform *before* the elections, but they were far too focused on the Greens of course. https://t.co/GYMjqFmRl6
