"   One of Ukip&amp;#039;s biggest donors, Demetri Marchessini, has claimed that rape within a marriage cannot exist. &amp;quot;Once a woman accepts, she accepts,&amp;quot; he said, &amp;quot;especially when she makes a vow on her wedding day. &amp;quot;When you get married you promise to look after the other person for the rest of their life. If you make love on Friday and you make love on Sunday, you can&amp;#039;t say Saturday is rape.&amp;quot; Er, NO. First of all, &amp;#039;looking after&amp;#039; someone DOES NOT mean being sexually available to them at all times, but it DOES mean not raping them. And it seems Mr Marchessini has glossed over the issue of consent. If you make love on Friday, Saturday and Sunday \u2013 fine. If you make love on Friday, but are forced, coerced or bullied into it on Saturday, there is a big problem. It&amp;#039;s clear that Mr Marchessini has a bit of a problem with grasping reality. During the same interview he also said that black slaves had a much better life in America than they would have had otherwise, that there is no love between gay people, only lust, and that they are incapable of fidelity, and that women should be banned from wearing trousers because they ought to dress to please men. Just WOW. There&amp;#039;s not much we can say to make Mr Marchessini look any worse than he already does. He seems to believe that women exist for the sole purpose of pleasing men. But we do have the vote, and he might find he&amp;#039;s disappointed with how we use it.
