Phillip Collins: I was suspended until investigation. The press office jumped the gun. I have been misrepresented by certain media which only used a small part of what I said. You should see my phone; I’ve had loads of messages of support from complete strangers. I’ve been getting phone calls in the night, emails from people I don’t know…[We read a couple of Collins’ phone messages together]

I haven't, it's only what people told me because I've been on the TV and I've been on the radio. More importantly, UKIP have not suspended me, they've re-instated me.How has that worked?
I'm a committee member…I didn't write the follow-up reports, but I've seen them. It says you won't be able to run in May.
They have said that I can stand next May. UKIP have apologised to me because the press office panicked.In that case, could you clear up your views on the UK’s immigration policy for us?
It’s like trying to fit a pint and half of milk into a pint glass – it won’t fit. We haven’t got enough housing or schooling, and we’re shutting places down now because we can’t afford it. There are three million unemployed people and there are jobs for everyone if a certain number of immigrants went home.Some of your potential voters in Bristol are going to be EU nationals. Does that worry you?
It doesn’t bother me at all. I’m here to represent the people of Bristol and the British community. I’m not here to represent everybody. I’m here to represent the large majority of British people that don’t want any more people coming to this country.

I believe in the May election we will win an awful lot more seats than people expect. People need to stand up and be outspoken and not be scared of what people say. A lot of British people don’t say what they want to say because they’re frightened; they don’t feel they have free speech any more. There’s nothing wrong with it. I have nothing against any person of any nationality, race or colour. I’ve got nothing against Muslims, Sikhs; God is God for anyone, whatever form it comes in. But I, as with the majority of the British public, don’t want this country to turn into a [religious] majority country other than Christian.In certain countries women have to clothe up, don’t they? They can’t drink, they can’t do whatever. What you have to remember is that if, in 20, 30 or 40 years' time, Britain becomes a Muslim majority country, they’ll make British Christians dress up and make us do what they do in their countries. I have a UKIP DVD that says within 30 years this will be a Muslim country.

The vast majority of British people believe that David Cameron said if he gets re-elected in 2017 there will be a referendum. That is not what he said; he said that [we’ll have a referendum] under the provision that he doesn’t get the things he wants from the EU. We don’t know at this stage whether he wants a horse pasty or a packet of crisps. No way would Cameron openly give a referendum, it’s a carrot to get people to vote for them.

No.You’ve never voted Conservative?
I have many, many years ago, maybe 20 years ago. Having got into politics in the last three years, I’ve realised that they [all the political parties] are all pretty mainstream now.Can you see a situation where they go more to the right?
All the parties have got on the bandwagon of Europe. All the parties are saying about immigration, they have to because UKIP are doing so well.Do you think that will undermine UKIP?
