There is to be a cross-party campaign to brand UKIP as a racist party, along the lines of the National Front an BNP, after it leads the EU election polls. It is led by a former Labour immigration minister, no less.

How pathetic can these politicians get?

I have to tell them it will not work. To call UKIP racist is to call all those who will vote for it "racists" as well. The ordinary man and woman have become sick to death of being labelled racists, bigots and xenophobes every time they say something not in accord with the chattering classes' views on certain subjects. There is a general hardening of peoples' acceptance of PCness and they have become immune to the insults.

By all means attack UKIP's (lack of) policies, but try crawling out of the gutter to do so.

Smear by association; "UKIP/ BNP UKIP/ BNP..".

It's typical of the scummy people who run our mainstream parties. If you can't win the argument, start smearing, insulting, shouting down and outright lying; and get your mates in the media to do the same.

What a rotten shower they are.

I am not racist I just don`t want them here.

One of my work colleagues was moaning about how much of a strain these 'immigrants' put on our health service.

Really??? What more than the poor eating, obese, heavy drinking, smoking, rubbish eating, couch potato Brits? I doubt it


Sorry off topic

No prob Shell, we do it all the time.

By sheer weight of numbers her observation is correct. You cannot import more than a million people over a decade and expect none of them to ever get ill. You have to provide the facilities and staff to cope with the increase.

Now, if she is blaming the strain on the Labour and Coalition governments for allowing that level of immigration, and then not providing the facilities, she is right.

If she is blaming the immigrants, personally, then she is wrong.

I hope (suspect) that she is trying to do the former and it has come out as the latter, as is often the case.

I think it's very interesting that a cross-party committee has now been formed in order "enlighten" us about Ukip, something the media has been doing for the last few months with absolutely no effect on their polling figures.

Shows how desperate the main parties are in the light of hemorrhaging support. It's said the LibDems could be totally wiped out in the May elections.

I note all the scandalous statements and accusations being made about Farage and his party, stupid Cons Libs And Labour all idiots! show me any of the parties who are not inundated with crooks, liars,pocket liners and then we have the perverts well hidden and protected when caught out. I intend voting UKIP and would not be surprised if the leaders haven't had plants, supposed supporters who are radical racists joining UKIP "for a price" with the intention of destroying Farage and his party.
"Politics is a filthy corrupt business." So I play dirty and vote UKIP.

UKIP have some vile people, closet fascists IMHO

Ok so they have suspended him from the party, but UKIP seems to attract such people I understand that the electorate want a change, we all do, but people really need to think about what they might be voting in....................

UKIP can't be any worse than the politicians we have had to endure over the last twenty years.

This country needs a radical change of government.

I fully understand where you're coming from, Kaz, and I do agree that Ukip does seem to have its share of nutters, but (personal view) I'd rather vote for them than any of the three major parties, who also have their fair share of nutters - and proven cheats and fraudsters.

I don't think you will find any "group of people" without at least some of their number holding daft points of view.

VV excluded, of course ....
