Subject: RE: BS: Theresa May's new year message
The Ukip leader has been criticised by members from all the other main UK political parties this weekend after he said in a car-crash interview on LBC Radio that he would feel "uncomfortable" if a Romanian family moved in next door to him. THAT IS RACIST.
The copy paste gives facts, Farage said Grimsby used to be a great place, statements like Grimsby used to be a great place are reactionary, and appeal not to just dissatisfied fishermen but to racists, because of his views on immigration, if he said Grimsby used to be a great place before the fishing industry was destroyed, that would be acceptable.
But he attempts to use nostalgic and nationalistic rhetoric which at the same time appeals to racists as does his views on immigration, and the fact he stated previously about being uncomfortable about Romanians.
