Lol at calling Ukip racists . Why u mad that some ppl want strict control on immigration into the country?
Britain already has pretty strict immigration control.
UKIP, assisted by sections of the right wing British press, have done a great job of making immigration
the issue dominating political discussion. The main parties are taking on UKIP on their terms. Why, for example, have Labour not made a bigger deal about just how Thatcherite the rest of their policies are?
UKIP's xenophobic policies work because large swathes of the British population are, unfortunately, xenophobic. That's the reason these weekly "scandals" exposed by the press are not hurting their popularity. Farage revealing he wouldn't want Romanians moving next door because anybody who would potentially vote UKIP doesn't want Romanian neighbours either.
