Dave,
You claimed that Farage said he would "axe much of race discrimination law" and you were not telling the truth.

The truth is he was only discussing employment law.
Like any country, and like Gordon Brown and Corbyn, he thinks that British nationals (all races) should be given preference over non-British nationals.

That is not racist and not "nitpicking" Dave.
There can be no dispute over what he said because he said it on camera to Ch.4.

You all avoided these questions;
If UKIP's aims and views as laid out in its manifesto contains no racism, in what sense can it be said to be racist?
Why do you all say it is?
Is it not just political rivals attempting to smear because they have nothing else to say?

UKIP points out that current immigration policy is racist because it discriminates against non-Europeans.
They propose a colour blind level playing field for all countries and races.

Dave, when you state things that are not true, I am entitled to ask where they came from.
I have never claimed or asserted that you imagined them. I just asked the question. Did you?

"You claimed that Farage said,
he would axe much of race discrimination law
He never did."
Ukip would scrap laws designed to stop racial discrimination in the workplace, leader Nigel Farage has said.
The Ukip leader said existing laws were out of date and that British society had moved on, making the discrimination laws redundant.
Farage called it "ludicrous" that employers could not favour a British national for a role over a foreigner.
Speaking in a Channel 4 documentary to be broadcast next week, Farage said: "I think the employer should be much freer to make decisions on who she or he employs.
"I think the situation that we now have, where an employer is not allowed to choose between a British-born person and somebody from Poland, is a ludicrous state of affairs.

"I would argue that the law does need changing, and that if an employer wishes to choose, or you can use the word 'discriminate' if you want to, but wishes to choose to employ a British-born person, they should be allowed to do so."
Critics of Farage's idea said scrapping racial laws in the workplace would set Britain back decades.
Responding to the comments, Downing Street suggested Farage was "wrong and desperate for attention", while Labour MP and potential London mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan said: "When my parents moved to London they frequently saw signs saying 'no blacks, no dogs, no Irish'.
"What UKIP is suggesting would take us back to those days."

Dave, Corbyn spoke recently of banning exclusive advertising of jobs abroad, so he also believes, " there should be a presumption for British employers in favour of them employing British people as opposed to somebody from Poland."

So, are they all racists Dave, or are your accusations of racism just baseless bollocks?

Dave,
You claimed that Farage said,

He never did.
According to your link he was accused only of saying, "UKIP would scrap much of the legislation designed to prevent racial discrimination in work" which is not "much of race discrimination law."
He did not even say that either.

From your link,
"Mr Farage told the BBC his remarks, recorded last autumn, had been "wilfully misinterpreted", saying he was talking about nationality not race.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme he said he was making the point that employers should be able to discriminate in favour of British workers.
"I didn't mention race at all. There was no part of that interview which I ever said it at all.
"What I said was that I do believe there should be a presumption for British employers in favour of them employing British people as opposed to somebody from Poland. That is exactly what I said," he added"

"British Jobs for British workers."
That was the last Labour Prime Minister, not Farage.
Either they are both racists or neither are.
Which is it Dave?

Either way your original claim was false according to your own link.

Jim, I'm sorry to spoil your illusion, but the "public" now have rights and a large number of them make full use of these rights to get as much as they can.

There are dozens of examples that I could quote, as a friend works in the "care industry"

One disabled person a few months ago received full social funding to erect a substantial access ramp to his front door. The cost was over £10,000, but on completion of the work the "customer" complained that the ramping must be continued right round the house to aloe separate access to the back door.....he threatened action on alleged discrimination when the funding was refused....and almost immediately the ramp was extended at a further cost of £25,000.

The cost to the taxpayer of care for the elderly is colossal...due in no small part to the lack of any sort of responsibility by family members.....let the social take care of it.

If Theresa May ever posted to threads like this she'd be firmly in the Keith/Teribus axis' camp. Deny, deny, deny. She denied that the immigration promise had been a promise when she was Home Secretary once the government had failed to keep it by approximately tenfold. She denied the fiasco over border controls. Now she's denying the crisis in the NHS. We haven't even had a flu outbreak this winter - God help us if we do get one. Privatisation driven by ideology, under-investment, lack of training of doctors and nurses, staggering short-sightedness, GP services a shambles, waiting times rocketing, bed-blocking due to lack of decent care services, thousands of patients waiting for hours or days on trolleys. They inherited an NHS in good nick in 2010. Now it's going down the pan, fast. Yesterday they were blaming GPs for not working every hour God sends. You couldn't make it up. Except that they do.

Dave, of your 3 facts,
Saying he would be uncomfortable living next to Romanians
Using a poster of immigrants in the same way Nazi Germany portrayed Jews
Saying he would axe much of race discrimination law


The first was only introduced in the last couple of days. Farage gave entirely rational and non-racist reasons for it which you all ignore, obviously.

The third is entirely new! Please tell us about it.

The second is the poster. UKIP is first and foremost an anti-EU Party.
At that time the greatest EU crisis was the turmoil on the borders caused by its incompetent handling of the migrant crisis.
That is the context that you ignore and pretend did not exist.
In that context the poster is a perfectly reasonable way to highlight the problem and just used an off the shelf news image such as we were seeing every day at the time.

Your outrage is purely manufactured.
You have acknowledged that the views, values and aims of UKIP as laid out in its manifesto contains no racism, so;

1. In what sense is it racist?
2. How can you tell?

I suppose it all means that "I never ever mean a single word I ever post - judging by the codswallop I post if I ever actually did believe it I'd have been sectioned years ago." Etcetera. The thing is, Teribus, and I hate to use that grossly-overused word "ironic," but it's ironic you can even dream of castigating anyone else for being boorish then post that incredibly, well, BOORISH post. You seem to have that old-man bitter thing about never seeing the light side of anything and serially getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. So I've changed my mind. I'm setting my 93-year-old dad on you after all. Send me your postcode, please.
