Thread Name: Folk Singers who are Politically Conservative
Subject: RE: Folk Singers who are Politically Conservative
"I don't think there is anything neo-fascist about the views of UKIP, considering that all other major parties have adopted them."
Taking politicians as a yardstick is hardly a reliable judge of anything.
What makes Ukip what they are is the fact that they have nothing to offer other than mistrust of foreigners and a 'fortress Britain' approach.
Unlike other political parties, their main ploy is the race card, even though they, like the BNP have taken steps to clean up their act.
Basically they are no different than Powell's 'Rivers of Blood'
As I said last time we were here, the last 'Socialists' to play the race card in the way Ukip is, was Moseley and his Blackshirts.
The only way you will ever convince me of your claim to Socialism is when you explain exactly what you mean by Socialism - in half a century I've never come across a Socialist expressing the views you have - on race, on humanitarianism, (even on "liberalism" which you appear to detest)
As fort your attitude on homosexuality.... beyond belief - even beyond the views of those now being expressed by the most reactionary clergymen.
