I think it was a feature on some models of Action Man too
Voters in rural England are turning to the UK Independence Party because it is the only party that has woken up to the threat to the countryside from developers, the outgoing head of the National Trust has said.
aah yes, Mr Reckless has been outspoken about aspects of this. Altho only in a rather inconsistent manner, you'll be surprised to learnSome sense from UKIP? I feel faint.
Of course, they can say anything as they're not going to be put to the test.
One eyed refers to kret's appreciation that UKIP voters have one reason for voting UKIP; i.e. they are being racist. I'm pointing out that this singular explanation lacks depth perception (and carries with it potential risks), in a way which is analogous with having one eye; which is a physical fact. Swivel eyed loons is a bit more of a pejorative, value judgement.

It's certainly not personal from ba, re you, every single person on the boards who has ever read your contributions agrees that you are fucking shit.
Indeed not, I'm certain there are a myriad of different reasons why people are voting for them. In my experience, however, I haven't conversed with anyone who has much more to say than "foreigners/immigration/swamped etc etc".I didnt see kret say there was one reason for voting ukip, racism. Could someone dig it out? It would be a daft thing to say.

He has said that he has been subjected to"viscious racist " abuse by ukip supporters. Just imagine. Why would that be?And now Chuka Ummana is taking them on. It's good to see Labour on the attack.
Kret:
Thing is, being an ordinary drone, me - I talk to people (outside of the internet) and any UKIP supporter I've talked to isn't too pushed about the NHS, maternity leave, etc. It always, in my experience, is about immigration, "coloureds" (I kid you not) and jobs for "English people".Their words not mine.

The most spectacular far-right victories in May’s elections were, of course, in Britain and France, during which the French Front National positioned itself to the left of the Socialist party on public ownership, Ukip turned to left-behind Labour voters, and both parties – of course – rejected any notion of universal European values.

Why would they feel "swamped"?
The esteemed left wing playwright David Edgar compares UKIP to the French FN and describes them as 'far right', not sure about this, again it will just get voters backs up, those who read the article anyway.
Racism's the only reason I can see.
Why else would anyone object to cultural diversity?

Any hes talked to. His experience.
Probably cos he's black and they're racist. WHAT IS YOUR POINT?
This discuess
I promise you I've talked to a lot more UKIP voters than you have. And the reasons are very, very different.
One of my favourites was "Yeah, I know UKIP are just posh tory bastards but so are Labour so what does it matter?".
Is it ok to say some UKIP supporters might be racist now?

Nobody said it wasn't ok. What people are saying is that we're fucking bored to tears of you and krtek and dwyer repeating the same old shit, again and again. If we were in a pub and you kept repeating the same sentence over and over and over, eventually someone would lose it and punch you. Why do you think its ok on this thread?
Ah, the thinly veiled threat of violence in order to shut down any and all dissent.
This country has become so racist it's taken for granted now. Fucking hell.
Bang on time again.
