UKIP has cancelled its freepost address after receiving packages containing blood and faeces.
Nigel Farage's party, which is currently leading the polls for the European elections later this month, has been inundated with packages from hostile voters.
As previously reported by the Echo a Newton Abbot address for UKIP was bombarded with unwanted mail as disgruntled voters send discarded flyers, parcels and even housebricks to the UKIP Freepost mailbox.
And earlier this week a bomb disposal team was called in to deal with two suspicious packages containing faeces that were destined for an address in Devon.
Staff at the Royal Mail sorting centre in Peterborough sounded the alarm at around noon on Thursday after messages attached to the parcels raised concern.
The packages were immediately isolated and the police and bomb disposal unit alerted.
Ordnance experts X-rayed the packages which were found to contain excrement.
Senior staff then disposed of both parcels, which had been addressed to South Devon.
UKIP has since confirmed that the Freepost address had been cancelled.
UKIP Bexley tweeted a memo which read: "You may be aware that there have been incidents of inapproriate mail items being sent to a UKIP Freepost address. This includes items which are prohibited (such as blood/human faeces) and present a health and safety risk both to you and our Royal Mail colleagues.
"The Freepost address for UKIP has been cancelled."
Freepost allows someone to send mail without a stamp because the recipient pays the postage.
The news comes as a Devon Ukip roadside sign has been vandalised with the word "racists".
The billboard, on a grass verge on the busy A-road between Trerulefoot and Polbathic has been emblazoned with the slur in grey spray paint.
It's thought the message has been daubed at some point over the bank holiday weekend.
Plymouth UKIP chairman David Salmon said: "It's disgraceful. Totally totally undemocratic. Total moronic idiots."
