As you probably know, I am mildly pro EU and therefore not a supporter of UKIP, but I am heartily sick of ConDemLab politicians and media commentators constantly referring to UKIP as "racists", "xenophobes" and "Little Englanders" as if those descriptions somehow entitles the user to hold the high ground.
These epithets have been so overused in attempts to stifle debate that they are now meaningless; they are even worn or accepted by some as proof positive that their users have lost the argument - how right they are.
There is plenty of evidence that the wording in the posters is factually wrong, but I am not going to help out explaining it to the boneheads in the main parties who, anyway, deserve a damned good kicking in the polls.
