I might agree if UKIP was only garnering votes from frustrated Tories, but it a appears large numbers of Labour voters in the North of England are also prepared to give their support to Mr Farage.

Unregulated immigration from Eastern Europe has decimated the British working class....it has become obvious that the playing field is heavily tilted in favour of immigrants......and more importantly those who benefit from their basic living conditions and poor wages.

This state of affairs did not happen by accident, but was engineered by the Capitalist system in an attempt to make this country "competitive" (code for profitable to a few)

Always remember Blair's immortal words "immigration will make the UK competitive in the global market place".
Blair was leader of the Labour Party at that time.
I vowed never ever to vote Labour again.
