This has been a barely suppressed streak in UKIP for a long time - remember Bloom hitting that reporter with his UKIP brochure as it only had white faces on it?
Yes, I thought the reporter was being racist to point it out. To your other point, why does UKIP welcome non-whites? There seems plenty of minorities in UKIP, even one of their spokesmen, Wolfe (sp?), is of mixed race.s2art said:

Yes, I thought the reporter was being racist to point it out. To your other point, why does UKIP welcome non-whites? There seems plenty of minorities in UKIP, even one of their spokesmen, Wolfe (sp?), is of mixed race.Funny in that article where Farage begs not be called a racist party.......from now on....its almost as if he's sweeping some unpleasant past under the carpet.

Dunno. Certainly there have been a few very vocal leavers, but I got the impression that at least some joined and then left as a smear tactic, based on their previous allegiances they didnt seem likely kippers.
I think you're giving far too much credit to those who left, to suggest that it was part of some grand cunning plan .Also one of the things that UKIP trumpeted was the fact that they were drawing support from across the political spectrum so I'm not sure why previous allegiances would make you suspect they were plants?
