Ukip is trying to attract Welsh voters but is having an absolute nightmare with the Welsh language

Nigel Farage's promised "Purple Revolution" may have failed to materialise in last year's general election, but that isn't stopping Ukip from trying to make gains in the local elections across the country in May 2016.

One of the pro-Brexit party's top priority areas is Wales, where voter concerns over immigration are high, even though immigration levels are some of the lowest in the UK.

The party is hosting its annual spring conference in Llandudno next month, and posted an ad on Monday featuring the "Welcome to Wales" road sign that greets drivers at the border:

When Deans asked the party for comment, a spokesperson responded to his request with the Latin phrase, "to err is human":
