Ukip can hardly come out with explicitly racist statements, Fred, but, as your excellent post demonstrates, they do allow the plethora of lies and half-truths about immigrants, peddled by the right, to stand and do their dirty, fearmongering work. You won't find many Ukip candidates explaining things your way, the right way. That's what's wrong and that's what's racist, I think. Iron fists behind velvet gloves do it for Ukip.
