When the mask slips

I heard on the radio news that the UKIP candidate in tomorrow's Rochester by-election (an election necessitated by his own defection from the Tories) was in favour of EU migrants being told to leave the country if the UK leaves the organisation. Leaving aside that it would be an economic disaster for Britain to 'opt out' of Europe, the story gives the lie to UKIP's frequent claims not to be racist or xenophobic - frankly, xenophobia is the central plank of everything they stand for, the attitude that all of the UK's problems are the fault of 'Johnny Foreigner'. And the saddest thing is that such an attitude, and the demagoguery that has always gone with it, is what has convinced so many of the 'sheeple' to vote for them of late. What those dupes will largely be unaware of, and probably wouldn't care about if they did know, are some of UKIP's other policies - I found this article when I was checking the radio report online before launching into this post. Legalise handguns, have an 'American-style' health system, and admire Putin? Anyone espousing such stupidity should be a candidate for a psychiatric institution, not elected office. Farage and his scum should be nothing more than a joke, along the lines of the Monster Raving Loony Party. It speaks volumes about the political illiteracy of British voters that they're anything but at present.

Love & best wishes to all
