I am sure "OcUK brands customers as racist" is not the message they want out there.
Yes to both, i've read that the the flyers had nothing to do with UKIP and members are puzzled where they came from. And this is not the first time either. There were fake flyers at the Douglas Carswell by-election as well
While the renaming is funny and accurate
Guys let's not drag "the business" into this. I do actually appreciate these forums and it'd be a shame if the business suffered as a result of what is a bit of ultimately harmless banter by a right-on mod.
As usual you're exaggerating. It's been well documented that there just as much or more horrible people in the Tories or Labour, particularly Labour.
Why do you think these debates improved our democratic process?
I remember them as nothing more than grandstanding, showboating and an awful lot of shouting and arguing with very little of substance, and a crossover from American Politics that I'd rather well do without.
Who is the pathetic left wing looney liberal Labour fool that changed UKip to Racists?
Still boy if you ask me![]()
From a business point of view, branding 137 potential customers as racists is not the best move.
Has the PR department taken the day off?
OCUK has never cared about their image that much. OCUK was widely known as tech support for BNP. Just put racism and OCUK into Google and see what other people think. So someone labeling the UKIP voters as racist is hardly going to damage OCUK's reputation, in fact it might lead to more sales if people realize OCUK have moved on.
Where is this documentation.
No one is deny there aren't racists and homophobes in all parties, the problem with UKIP it is the propensity and severity. Barely a week goes by without a UKIP candidate in the papers due to racists remarks, while with Labour and Toires it is once or twice a year. Moreover, UKIP attracts a far higher number of racists and xenophobes than other parties.
I don't consider UKIP a racist party because of their policies, I consider them racist because of the members and candidates.
A Comres poll for ITV found that forty-four per cent of voters told pollsters that Ukip are a "racist party" with just 36% disagreeing. This is up twelve points from last April and follows a series of revelations about racist views held by party members. Just last week the BBC revealed footage of a Ukip councillor Nigel Farage's constituency, speaking about her dislike of people with "negroid features".
Similar revelations over the past year appear to have damaged perceptions of the party with 37% of all voters now describing Ukip as "nasty," more than any other party.
Not surprised by how you've been sucked in by the media propaganda. In the meantime the PIE scandal is hardly talked about but is a 100's of times more serious then some old biddy having a bit of old fashioned views

Or the Libdems covering for Pedo MP's

Individual anecdotes don't make data.
I see the mods are quite all of a sudden too, not surprised they are in hiding after the backlash, even anti-kippers think the name change is childish

Individual anecdotes don't make data. No one has denied there aren't nasty people in other parties. It is the frequency and persistence of racists and homophones in the UKIP party and supports that leads to their reputation and is why non of the other major parties have such a reputation.
The best you could do is find some news events form last year, while I just have to look last week, or the week before, or the week before that to find multiple accounts of prevalent racism in UKIP.
