UKIP MP number 2 coming up.

[Guinness Boy]

But immigration to the UK from outside the EU is already controlled via a points based system - you never hear the 'racist' accusation about that.

Sorry you must be mistaken. According to [MENTION=5729]sir albion[/MENTION] they're all on the sausage, sat round in 10 bedroom mansions watching the Punjabi version of Jeremy Kyle and pissing themselves with laughter at their cleverness.

UKIP are promising to ratchet up the controls on immigration from Europe. Do you imagine that they don't aspire to do the same with Commonwealth immigration and other immigration from outside Europe?

Good, let's hope so.

 

[daveinprague]

They can promise whatever they like.

Thats a brave UAF member to attend an EDL meeting for a start...wouldnt mind seeing that video, you have a link?.

no i dont have a link,if i come across it again i shall let you know

 

[Lord Bracknell]

... Yes, there is an element of racism involved ...

Obviously. The question that arises is whether this realisation will sweep UKIP to power or - as has happened previously with UK political parties founded on racism - the bubble will burst.

Just to pick up your point about percentages.It all depends on where you live in the country,some places haven't been touched that much by immigration, whilst other towns and cities have been.
Let's take a look at Sussex.
The 5 largest towns are Brighton and Hove,Crawley,Worthing,Eastbourne and Hastings.

Brighton has 89% White British.
Crawley has 72% White British.
Worthing has 94% white British.
Eastbourne has 94% white British.
Hastings has 94% white British.

I live in Crawley and over the last 5 years you can see the change in the town.Its not in my head and I'm not imagining it.
It's there everyday for all to see.
So for me in my town 28% of people living here are ethnic or immigrants.

Having you got any figures for Mid Sussex - it's a veritable multicultural melting pot so I hear

Mid Sussex has a 9% ethnic population.

Labour MP for Islington South (what a surprise) Emily Thornberry being predictably snobbish

Yes, love. That's a working class person and attitudes like yours are why they don't vote for your lot any more.

What did she say about that picture?

Just that. There's no need to be coy, the implication is very clear as all the responses to it indicate.

I guess you see what you want to see. I see a house with a, van and some flags - A bit naff for me, but each to their own. You've concluded that it's a working class person that isn't voting Labour and that somehow makes Thornberry a snob.

Yup. Labour MP randomly taking photos of a by-election that UKIP are likely to win and it just so happens to be one of a house with white van and St George flags outside. No intent or slur intended. No sirree.

Dear oh dear, I'm concluding along with just about everybody else except for you that it's bleeding obvious why she posted that photo. Sometimes you just have to accept that some MPs are twats and some Labour MPs are dreadful snobs instead of pretending otherwise.

Tell me why you think she posted that photo then.

 

[Buzzer]

Snobbery. A slur on who she thinks votes Tory or UKIP. Seriously - you're fooling no-one with this line of defence. It is blindingly obvious what she means by it. You're being deliberately and extremely obtuse.

I think you're making yourself look rather silly here.

People that play the race card too often devalue its' true meaning. Sadly when UKIP are involved the mindless hoard use it as a default setting. This in turn indicates their lack of knowledge on the subject they are attempting to patronise potential UKIP voters on.

On a positive note there are no Palace flags on display.

Mind sharing the link? Somehow I doubt places Like Haywards Heath are 10% ethnic.

I think the funniest part of the Rochester by-election is Britain First backing the Rillington Place lookalike, despite having a candidate.
