But I expect Mr Farage will just say that it is a one off and isn't very important. This is just a few days after Sanya-Jeet Thandi, a rising student star of Ukip's youth organisation denounced him as a racist and quit the party.

Incidentally, how do our resident UKIP supporters feel about Sanya Jeet Thandi? She was one of the leaders of UKIP's youth wing, spoke at their conference, and was hailed as a rising star by Farage. Now she has turned her back on the party on the grounds that she things large numbers of racists have gotten into the party....

NJ.....I acknowledge that we need a debate on this subject, and I am not supporting unfettered immigration by any means. The difficulty with that debate, especially about Europe, is that any discussion quickly turns to warm beer, cricket and wasn't the Queen Mum wonderful. Any adult debate is soon lost in hyperbole about bent cucumbers, and "health and safety gone mad" My point is that this, together with getting out of the EEC are UKIP's only policies. Or, more accurately, the only policies that the approx. 15% of potential voters Polled that say they are UKIP supporters claim any familiarity with. Farage brings up the subject of foreigners in Britain at every opportunity. Have you seen SP's post of 14:25 today ? How on earth do UKIP expect to be treated like a mature political party, when that sort of things happens ?

I still maintain that if they were to concentrate on sorting out their chaotic party structure, they wouldn't be treated with the ridicule that they are facing now. Nobody, apart from Kromo has responded to the point of my post regarding Ms Thandi. Doesn't anyone find it even a tiny bit inconsistent that this lady resigned 48 hours after appearing on primetime TV, extolling the virtues of UKIP ? Why she joined such an openly racist party ( her words, not mine ) in the first place is beyond my understanding.

I'm not interested in warm beer or the Queen Mum, Mikey. I'm interested in controlling the number and type of people that arrive to settle in the UK. No other party has any proposals to tackle the unfettered immigration that the UK is enduring because no other party will do anything to alter the status quo with the free movement principle enshrined in the EU.

It is no use saying that we need all the workers that come here. WHatever benefits they may brink (And that has never been properly quantified) the downside is that the country cannot cope with the number of people it has at the moment and half a million more each year is simply unsustainable.

Whatever Mr Cameron's rhetoric this will not change. Free movement is quoted as the second most important achievement that the EU has managed. (Top of the list is, of course, the single currency. With that being their finest achievement the remainder of the list is somewhat of an anti-climax).

That is why UKIP are posing the threat you mention.

I have nothing to add here I fear NJ, to what I have already said.

A vote for UKIP is a wasted vote, as they will never be in a position to make any difference in Westminster. Maybe in a few years time perhaps but not anytime soon, as they are a shambles and their only purpose in life is a protest vote. You and others may wish it was otherwise but that is the situation, take it or leave it.

Svejk...UKIP have a very long way to go indeed, before they can even think of producing politicians of the like of my avatar, which is something that I am sure you will agree with ! The Party has to grow up first. But it is showing no signs of so doing.

At the moment they remind me of those tiresome little boys in "Mr Drew's School for Boys".....petulant, childish and completely undisciplined.

I repeat, UKIP will not form the Government of Britain post the May 2015 General Election.

Any comments to make on the gist of my post, regarding Ms Thandi Svejk ?
