That's the lamest and most weirdest thing I have heard this year.
I wonder what your views are.
I bet they're:
1. Raicst
2. Homophobic
3. Sexist
and much more that people like you support and thinking it will integrate and become compatible with modern day life and living.
You're the worst Bigot here
Bigot (noun): a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his own opinions
You shortened and took that definition out of context several times now, why don't you quote the full sentence for us, reading it together with us will help you understand it. Go on.
I thought I was on your ignore list.
"
"1. a person who is intolerant of any ideas other than his or her own, esp on religion, politics, or race
[C16: from Old French: name applied contemptuously to the Normans by the French, of obscure origin]"
" person who is extremely intolerant of another's creed, belief, or opinion.
[1590–1600; < Middle French]"
but put me back on ignore...PLEASE

You know you've hit bottom of the barrel when you start rolling out the dictionary quotes.
i'm no big fan of ukip or farage but you are taking the views of a few ukip nutcases and they aren't representative. Farage has criticised those views and sacked a number of ukip member who have those views.
It also has to be said that both the conservatives and labour have there fair share of crazy nutcases with extreme views also.
We need a sensible discussion of ukip, concerns people have and why they felt the need to vote for ukip. Simply insulting them based on unofficial viewpoints doesn't help anybody.
I thought I was on your ignore list.
You are mixing up your adversaries. I never threatened to ignore your posts and spent unreasonable amount of time to patiently discuss things with you.
Now, the dictionary definition of bigot you kept using against other posters, the one that you quoted as "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his own opinions" there were part to it that you omitted and the full definition was as follows: "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance".
So you see, you could only use that definition the way you needed it to, after you were willing to overlook and omit half of the original context.
Ironically it isn't unlike what UKIP does in their manifesto....

Citation needed on all three accusations.
Sexist: In the press conference on Sky News this afternoon they showed women UKIP MEPs as well as men.
Racist: In the interview with Adam Bolton last night Nick Griffin said "the BNP are the only true racists, votes will come back to us once people realise that UKIP aren't racist" and indeed Nigel Farage has said that UKIP would allow controlled immigration (on points tariffs etc) of workers from all countries/races/colours.
Homophobic: UKIP appear to have a LGBT community within their party https://twitter.com/ukiplgbt https://www.facebook.com/UkipLgbt
Presenting the argument "I have women/black/gay friends, therefore I'm not sexist/racist/homophobic" means you don't understand what it means to be sexist/racist/homophobic.
Nigel would be worried if Romanian men moved next door which is xenophobic - close enough to racism. UKIP doesn't support gay marriage, which is homophobic. I forgot what their sexist remarks/positions are, maybe someone else knows them.

An openly gay UKIP MEP has been elected for the first time ever, David Coburn.

Was impossible for me to claim anything back for being 6 hours late due to a technical fault.
A friend who was 24 hours late it seemed also impossible, last we spoke he was going to a small claims court.
This was only last October, so unless its improved since then I don't have much faith.

I believe Godfrey Bloom has had something to say on the issue, he claims it was a joke but he did call women who admitted not to cleaning behind their fridges "*****" and said words to the effect that you'd have to be mad to employ a woman of child-bearing age. I don't know the truth of his intent and it would perhaps be unfair to judge the whole party on this one chap but whether we like it or not politics now has a lot to do with how things can be interpreted and presented. Mr Bloom leaves quite a lot to be desired in that department.
Although I did read there was a query raised about whether he had given false information to the electoral commission about his address on his nomination papers so that could be a question to answer.

Homophobia, noun: An extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality.
Not supporting the redefinition of marriage does not make someone homophobic. Especially when we've already got legislation for Civil Partnerships. (But a policy of "all gays should be stoned to death" would have course be homophobic). To be homophobic someone must have in their heart a true hate of gays, but if they accept them for who they are and only disagree with the 'issue' of marriage, that makes them either a traditionalist or very religious.
IIRC anyways wasn't Farage's comments more along the lines of "Its not the job of government to define marriage" … "if we want to change something so traditional there should be a referendum (especially when it wasn't in the manifestos at the last election)" … and "what happens if the Euro Human Rights forces a religious institution to hold a ceremony when a gay couple has done it just to troll them despite there being a perfectly good registry office next door".

Are people really THAT dumb as to believe this is correct? It doesn't matter what % of the UK voted. If they didn't vote, you can't assume they wouldn't have voted UKIP.
LOL. Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever read on here.

Not quite sure that a whole party can be judged on the comments/views of one individual member. Unless of course that one member is the leader and the party make all their MPs vote their way rather than giving them a free vote.
Especially when they disciplined him by withdrawing the party whip from him.
