That pretty well everyone – myself not excluded – recoiled at his actions, does not belie the accuracy of Breivik's research and analysis in his 'manifesto', which is in line with most scholarship in respect of both Political Correctness and Islam.
It is clear that the mass of ordinary people are considered with utter contempt by the government-media-education uber-class across the Western world; this as the result of 'cultural Marxism'. So we are, in effect, 'at war' within our societies over PC, as Breivik claims.
At great length, he goes on to develop an argument that amounts to Breivik's massacre being regrettable, but that he kind of had a point. His heart was in the right place.
UKIP announced last month that their "Target 28" campaign, intended to run canidates in every Sheffield ward had been a success. Their website now has a blank space next to Dore & Totley. However, Moxon's deselection will have come too late to take his name off the ballot, so voters will still be able to select Moxon should they wish to. Last time UKIP put a candidate up in Dore in 2010, Elizabeth Arnott drew a grand total of 880 votes, putting her in fourth place.
Where it gets a little more interesting is that since his deselection, there's been something of a to-and-fro between Moxon and his party. The sticking point is the statement UKIP made to explain why they were dumping him:
“We note that Steve Moxon has not condoned the actions of the maniac Brievik. However he has made a number of remarks on subjects such as the Brievik manifesto and Islam that are at odds with UKIP policy and perspective."
As sacking statements go, it seems pretty fair. UKIP make absolutely clear that they don't think Moxon approves of the cold blooded murder of 77 people, but they note that agreeing with Breivik on any level is not good for business.
Moxon's response was that he had been "happily suspended," and to argue that despite the statement to the contrary, UKIP agreed with him really.
The statement put out by the UKIP Sheffield and National Organiser, Jonathan Arnott, is, however, not as Jonathan read to and agreed with me. Jonathan stated to me that the issues were "outside the orbit" of the party's politics. That is very different to "remarks ... at odds with UKIP policy". UKIP has no disagreement with me on anything, so far as I'm aware; and certainly no disagreement on any topic has been put to me. The Party hardly could have such a disagreement unless it wants to disagree with the weight of published scholarship, and clearly it is hardly likely to engage in such illogical foolishness; and the Party is determinedly anti-PC in any case.
See, his case revolves around the concept of political correctness. Too long have we lived in a world where it's unacceptable to state agreement with a man's social policies just because he's a murdered. I mean, just because someone has such contempt for human life that he killed dozens of innocent teenagers, that doesn't mean that his stance on immigration will be similarly cold, ruthless and inhumane. And another thing, that Mein Kampf was a bloody good read, I don't care what the author did with the rest of his career.
And so on.
There are no winners in this story, but the biggest loser is the credibility of UKIP's vetting procedure. Prior to joining the party, Moxon worked for the Home Office in Sheffield. He achieved minor notoriety in 2004 after blowing the whistle on immigration fast tracking at the department. Since then, he has written The Great Immigration Scandal on the same subject, followed by The Woman Racket, "a serious scientific investigation into one of the key myths of our age that women are oppressed by the patriarchal traditions of Western societies."
Announcing Moxon's candidacy less than a month ago, General Secretary Jonathan Arnott said: "We are delighted to welcome Steve Moxon, a man prepared to stand up for his beliefs, to our team of candidates for this year's Council elections."
UKIP claim to have been unaware of Moxon's blogpost, despite it having been published months before his selection. A spokesman said it would have taken an "inordinate amount of time" to read everything Moxon had written before his selection.
But considering how proud they were to be considering someone as famously outspoken as Moxon, you'd think they'd have taken the time.
Perhaps they were so keen to bag a minor celebrity candidate that they feared what they would find if they looked.
