It seems bizarre to be having a debate to offer anyone membership regardless of who it is. Generally someone will apply to join or may be asked discreetly.
What this really is about is debating the true nature of UKIP: under Batten they are already going down the EDL path: they will not poll 4 million votes again that way.

It could be interesting to see how 'Tommy' gets on in the real world, where he can be held to account for his views and actions by people who know what they are talking about - not the brain-dead football-chanting yobs who make up the core of his support, and simply like banding together, making noise, shouting racial abuse at British citizens, and hitting police officers because it's their idea of a good day out.
YMB - // AH, have you actually listened to what he says? //
Yes I have.
// Much of it resonates with the man on the street, it's just the thuggish following that stops him. //
Resonating with the man on the street does not make him right - it wasn't right when Hitler did it, it's not right now.
Pushing the buttons of the great unwashed does not take a huge amount of skill - but maintaining the façade that you genuinely have something worthwhile to say, is a different matter.
'Tommy's' appeal to the frightened uneducated mass who see him as some sort of gifted saviour pointing out the obvious has a limited time span - I suspect his days as a rabble rouser are limited.

And here we go again, I am superior to thou so my view stands yours does not is what you are saying.
"Resonating with the man on the street does not make him right"
The man on the street tends to be the majority. I take iyt from your statement you are not a fan of democracy.
Trying to link the man on the street to Hitler really crashes any credibility you had.

Yes you did say that. it was a direct copy of what you wrote at 13:26. I sometimes wonder whether you 'sleep write' or just don't actually think about what you're putting. Robinson resonates with a minority of those 'on the street'. they can't be called the majority. And you therefore can't use that to counter AH's post. It's completely nonsensical.
