Is This Proof Of What Some People Have Suspected For A Long Time?

...according to Nigel Farage, his party has attracted a lot of BNP voters.

Is this something to brag about?

I don't think he's being criticised for the moustache. People are just finding it funny (and have connected it to another politician who stepped down and suddenly grew facial hair (Miliband).

But I think that most people recognise that he's only grown facial fuzz as a tribute to his political hero:

Couldn't have a better role model, at least what they have both forecast has come true.

But tell me as a none white, do you also think that refugee photo was racist, and would it have been more acceptable if all the migrants had been white?

Nothing new there then, many find this person, also with facial hair, funny.

It's non, not 'none'.

Yes - I thought that refugee poster was dog whistle racism, designed to appeal to BNP voters.

SP....( 13:47)....too bloody right...... Of course it was racist.....the dog whistle message was quite clear....if you vote to stay than more brown people will join this huge queue....(the queue that was from one Baltic country to another, not at Dover )

If the poster is really racism, then someone will be prosecuted, or not ;)

Thank you for that correction, you are so clever, never had a problem with Predictive text yourself?

Care to explain you and mikey seem to have a problem with the colour of those in the photograph, as I previously put, would it have been racist if it portrayed a great number of pale skinned migrants?

Or perhaps it originally did, and UKIP carried out a photo shop job on it?

Now that would have been racist.

Do you honestly think N.F. has caused a lot of ill feeling for the refugees? I don't think that's the case, I'm sure it's each and every Gov caused the problem, in my opinion for what's it worth by seeing that the Refugees are looked after better than the people of the UK, I'll expect the Criticism.

No need to swear mikey, it was not racist only to those with over sensitive feelings.

Don't talk so silly, nothing at all to do with 'Brown People' It was highlighting the folly of the EU's open door policy, and it made no mention of Dover.

By the way it is a wonder your mate sp hasn't pointed out that, it is "THEN more brown" people and not "THAN more brown people", you know what a stickler for correctness he is?

[sp1814]

Why do you need an explanation. You asked me whether I thought it was racist, and I told you.

Seems obvious to me.

The poster didn't feature white migrants at all. However, Romanians, Pole and the other Eastern Europeans that UKIP have been talking about are not brown-skinned.

They left those out of the poster.

Racism.
