Thread Name: BS: Theresa May's new year message
Subject: RE: BS: Therasa May's new year message
Just for once try not to be so bloody stupid, Keith. UKIP is a one-trick pony party with the single express aim of getting us out of the EU. Any argument will do and they are unscrupulously non-picky in the arguments they garner. Immigration is out of control. Foreigners are stealing our jobs. Foreigners drive wages down. Foreigners are living on benefits. Foreigners are taking over our towns, villages and shops. Muslim terrorists are hiding amongst foreigners coming over our borders. The EU is taking £350 million of what should be NHS money. All lies. Xenophobic soundbite arguments spiced with lies and exaggeration are the time-honoured way of duping working-class people into voting for you. The National Front tried it, the BNP tried it and UKIP Is making rather more of a success of it. You tell working people that all the problems of the country are caused by the people in the tier below you. Racism staring you in the face but Keith can't see it.

As for the poster, it said that we need to get out of the EU to take back control of our borders. But the photo didn't show any EU citizens exercising their right to come here. The poster depicted REFUGEES, mostly with dark skin. Looking Muslim. We have a policy of taking just 20,000 refugees over five years. That is nothing to do with the EU and it is TOTALLY under our control. The message of the poster was that we must get out of the EU unless we want to be swamped by hordes of people who look like Muslims. It was a false, racist message and Farage stood proudly in front of it. He knew exactly what he was doing. But, of course, Keith, doesn't see any of this. He simply wants to put "their side of the story." Ignore the lies, the immorality, the opportunism, the racism. Just defend one of the nastiest men the politics of this country has ever seen.
