Post Is Ukip a party of bigots? - New Statesman

An interesting article which looks at UKIP and it's loveable band of "eccentrics".

It may be but I would imagine that the Tories have enough of their own bigots.

Some are biggots. Some just don't like paying benifits to people who've never paid taxes. They (rightly or wrongly) see leaving the EU as a way to stop that (or at least reduce it. They can't boot out scroungers born here).

There are bigots on all sides. I've met as many left wing loonies as right wing loonies. It's just UKIP seems to be a place where lots of them gather together :lol:

The article lays it on a bit thick, but I always assumed that UKIP was facism hiding behind a generic, catch-all, gripe list anyway.

They might be a tad racist or bigoted but they as a group are not as extreme as some Tories or the BNP.
