GSS, the report on the Grimsby speech by the undergraduate student contains no examples of racism or xenophobia.

If I have missed something, please highlight it.

Here is the concluding sentence,

"Hence, the speech can be considered to be successful since it convinces the audience that the sole problem of British politics is its lack of sovereignty and UKIP can provide the solution to make Grimsby a thriving fishing town again."

Perfectly legitimate.

From his opening paragraph,
" It can be argued that this problem is the overarching theme on Farage's agenda since, in his view, it is the root for the sinking fishing industry in Grimsby because of the Common Fisheries Policy, Great Britain's declining living conditions due to the Open Door Policy and the British debt due to the European Union membership."

Reasonable and legitimate non-racist arguments.

Near the end.
" This can be exemplified by his view that controlling the borders of the United Kingdom "immigration once again becomes a positive in our country and not a negative"[9].

So we see he is not anti-immigration, just concerned that the level is too high. That is the view of all the main parties.

Show me where the racism and xenophobia are reported Dick.
