It's just a bloody weird term to use isn't it?
The Hitler thing was, I think (from what I remember of the article) a little overdone as it's sounded like someone commending Hitlers style of presentation rather than the substance.
Correct. It was a daft thing to do (because they should have known they'd get jumped on) but there was no praise of Hitler's views.The Hitler thing was, I think (from what I remember of the article) a little overdone as it's sounded like someone commending Hitlers style of presentation rather than the substance.

That there may be some unaware racists in the party doent make the party itself racist, otherwise all parties are probably racist. Hadnt heard that phrase before mind you, thought it was 'Ying Tong' (pace Spike).
I belive ting tong was a character in a recent comedy sketch show. ( didn't watch it closely just scanned it) I'm guessing the character was a mail order bride.So she might have been offensive for a different reason rather than being outright racist

What no ones trying to defend her? Come on kippers.
What bugs me is the mealy mouthed apology, at least that barking mad "bongo bongo land" guy was man enough to stand by his own ridiculousness. I thought UKIP was about straight talking and common sense, not bowing to PC gone mad, speaking the truth to power through the vernacular of the common man?
Or is the truth of the situation that the common man is a lot more sophisticated, nuanced and sensitive that your average UKIP member?

Or were!
Take Aidan Burley for one.
Bit different remarking on the oratory skills of Hitler as opposed to dressing up as one of his henchmen and making sieg heil salutes, eh? And in France of all places!
Still, at least he's gone. But just to prove you can argue the same for all parties and their members/candidates as said.
