As would I. I certainly don't, do you? You seem to be buying everything Farage is feeding you.
I don't disagree on this point, and I don't think I have once. I simply said I would be concerned rather than blithely laughing it off.
Of course you don't have too, but you seem to be one of the few that are actually interested in discussing the subject rather than espousing soundbites etc, it would be interesting to know what you think, that's all.

But not you... Right?
You're very well informed and intelligent and have the ability to vote for the "correct" party
There is no "correct" party, that is wholly subjective to what you value in society. You can however, objectively show what someone is saying is factually incorrect or misleading through being informed on a subject.
I would be much more comfortable comparing Blair to Hitler, than I would Farage. I mean after all he was largely responsible (with his buddy Bush) for initiating 2 wars that have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, not to mention absolutely ruining an entire country (Iraq). Oh and who was it under Cameron's command who wanted war in Syria too?
It was actually Farage who came out against any more wars. He even called for Syrian refugees to be allowed into the UK

It wouldn't be new if your sources of information were not limited to the Daily Mail.

No they weren't but my point stands anyway, I was talking about justified concern.
Well you obviously didn't even bother reading my posts, because I clearly stated I wasn't voting UKIP, or anyone else for that matter
I don't have an agenda.that's the post of the year
Now we all know you have a agenda and thanks for pointing it out
I'm simply pointing out that for a party to be significantly more racist or criminal you need to compare against the base.
The reason why people attribute racism to UKIP is due to the fact a larger proportion of UKIP voters hold racist attitudes (which I've said before, is hardly surprising that a party which is in favour of reducing/stopping immigration will garner support from people with racist sentiments).
If you actually believe posting a list of 10 dodgy Lib-Dems (when in reality we can post a like of 10 of every party) makes them worse than the rest then it highlights a fundamental lack of understanding of the basics of comparisons.
I'm actually genuinely interested if you could please, not trolling, just not sure who I'm voting for yet.
I do hope you weren't one of the posters decrying UKIP for dodgy statistics because the document you have linked covers only 7 health systems and puts us almost last for "Long, healthy, productive lives" and last for "patient centred care".
Awesome! Now the majority of UKIP voters are racist!
BTW there's absolutely nothing racist about wanting to reduce immigration and put tighter controls on it. That's a perfectly normal policy that a large number of other countries take very seriously in order to preserve their economy/culture/general well being.
It's very apparent people don't even know the meaning of words they throw about all the time
The worse point about UKIP though is that its leader has actually excused the unacceptable behaviour of its members. e.e Farage excused Helmers comments that homosexuality is unacceptable due to him being 70yrs old... wut???
Now if that was a professional party, and not some old boys club from down the pub, then he would have been sacked/resigned for those comments. Not UKIP though, they think such comments seem acceptable.
Informed about what exactly?
Right apologies. There's too much nonsense and reciprocal crap in this thread to keep track half the time.

That isn't what he said. He said that they had a larger proportion of racist voters than other parties.
