Comedian Carson signs backs UKIP
Belfast-born comedian Frank Carson has joined the Euro-sceptic UK Independence Party which seeks Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.
Mr Carson, who now lives in Blackpool, said he took the decision because he was "disgusted with the way politics has gone".
"We need to get out of the EU and ditch the human rights legislation," he said.
The UKIP was founded in 1993 and has nine members sitting in the European Parliament.
"I'm fed up with all the other political parties and think it's time for a change, and so do many others."
Party chairman Paul Nuttall said he was delighted that Mr Carson had joined the UKIP.
"He is an excellent comedian, but he has a very serious point," he said.
UKIP's support is at 15% - with the Lib Dems on 19%, Labour on 20% and the Conservatives on 29%, according to the YouGov survey.
