More UKIP woes

[Eddie Strohacker]

I wonder at what point do we collectively accept that this is what UKIP is. From Godfrey Bloom to Roger Helmer to this woman, it's a berth for racists, misogynists & xenophobes. All the protestations, all the denials all fly in the face of a never ending drip drip of revelations. If you support these people, then you own this.

But, remember, UKIP had NOTHING to do with Brexit, and NOBODY who voted leave was a racist.

Watching the collapse of UKIP on here is an amazing feeling. Especially because of the number of UKIP fanboys there was on here. 70%?, 80%?. Can't be far off

No-one has claimed either of the above - are you this dishonest in your day job?

Most of us long since did.

<awaits denials and play-downs from usual suspects>
I believe the phrase that used to be used was "fellow travellers".

Let's face it, there's a sizable end of the Tory party who didn't have the balls to admit their true home was UKIP, for fear of their seats. (My MP is a prime example).
Then there's a sizable end of UKIP who don't have the balls to admit their true home is BNP/EDL.

Remember who Bolton beat to become leader of UKIP? Anne-Marie Waters, the woman who founded Pegida UK with Tommy Robinson.

Of course there are some racists that voted leave.
Just as there are some racists among remain voters

Thing is, if no-one had told me Meghan Markle was black I wouldn't have known. At a guess she looks Spanish, or wherever Selma Hayak is from.

Literally no-one gives a fk, and if they do they are a .

List of people who care either way:

• Racists

Yes, far-right nationalism is a long way from being exclusive to the UK.

Racism isn't exclusive to right wing parties.

Well, if they do end up having to invite Trump, I can see the seating plan for dinner having him on a table at the far end of the room, right next to the door for the bogs.

The extremes of both wings are just as unpleasant as each other, but racism on the far left is less entrenched - and certainly a lot less widespread currently.

Best place for him, imo.

I can well believe some were too stupid to tick their intended box.
