They have had 9 candidates removed so far for using overtely offensive and racist language
They use language like being "swamped" and "invaded"
They have no real policy apart from get out of the EU and stop immigration
They play on peoples fear of immigration and exploit areas of mixed communities to get votes - classic racist party tactic
They talk about the effect immigration has had on "british culture" - another scaremongering far right strategy
I could go on but most of the above is probably far too appealing for many of you on here and might have the reverse effect!
Oh, and check out this astonishing bit of "harmless fun"

What's racist about wanting to take control of our own country again from a bunch of overpaid looney liberals from Europe? Stop embarrassing yourself again on here
all well and good, but still not sure why this is on a "coventry city general chat" board
I think that we learnt the other day in court that personal opinion is not the same as policy. And as you say these people have been removed, surely if they are racist they would not have only remained their opinions would have been adopted as policy. You've countered your own weak argument there.
Immigration has had an effect on British culture, mostly positive. But it would be wrong not to debate it.
Quality.the educated philosopher on here,yet the troll on gmk.
UKIP are a bunch of establishment, right-wing nutters no doubt. The idea that what we need is a privately educated banker representing the people is frankly ludicrous!
However, people are hurting. It's not immigration, it's 30 years of trying to turn the working class in this country into low wage slaves to compete with China and refusal to support basic services like schools and housing.
No-one gives a fuck about Ahmed next door if you've got a decent job, somewhere to live and well funded services. This shit only appears when government fail in their job of looking after the people of their country. Immigration needs looking at, the EU needs looking at, however we will be far worse outside the EU. Farage would have you with no protection, working for pennies an hour.
The major parties need to stop this "anyone who says that there is a British culture is racist" crap. Most people just don't buy it. It's the same problem with the feminists and "rape culture", what may start out as a valid point in some cases becomes a tired cliche that offends people and shuts down discussion. When you shut down discussion you hand the debate to the crazies.
Agree with a lot of that - unfortunately the agenda is not being set by those who want to debate services, housing, NHS etc and you have to ask why
So neither of you can explain why you consider them racist but as you can use this spin to try and belittle someone with an opposing view you'll spout it anyway.
You've convinced me. I'm sorry for ever considering voting for them. Wow, you two are geniuses in the debating stakes. I'm not surprised everyone is pro sisu and anti council with the debating skills you two possess.
It's got its knockers, but...Page 3 before I saw it was 2014.
Hard right to hard left, doesn't do things by halves our Tone.The Tonester perhaps you’d like to explain why you voted UKIP
I’m sure the rumours you swallowed a gallon of Nigels semen is an urban myth
Be mature now Tony
The Tonester once loved big nige
Rumour is he’s on taking pints soon
