You left out our ex Lib dem leader in Kingston.
However, its time to decide what racism is, and whether people other than
English white persons can be it.
I know some people who were born here who are black feel that some other
black or non white folk, use what is described as 'the race card' to
frighten officials into giving them preferential treatment.
Now OK so I've played the Blind card a few times myself, but I do feel
that there as many non whites who feel everyone not their race or culture
are out to get them and act like they are the enemy, as there are the other
way around.
What some people need is a non threatening discussion over all this so we
can see the wood for the trees. Bringing up wrongdoings by various people
who should have known better is not helpful, and often not even relevant to
this discussion.

Been a lot on the TV about various UKIPper being "racist".
How about the other parties?
As media scrutiny on UKIP's candidates, members and donors intensifies,
the party has released a list of councillors and candidates from other
parties who have found themselves in various scandals yet have been
ignored by the mainstream media.
The list includes a Conservative who stole £150,000 from a pensioner with
Alzheimers, a former Conservative councillor found guilty of child sex
crimes, a Labour candidate who is a convicted fraudster, and a Liberal
Democrat councillor convicted of 'racially aggravated assault'.
The councillors and candidates named by the party a

John Morgan, Conservative councillor on Vale of White Horse District
Council : Convicted of stealing £150,000 from Beryl Gittens, who had
alzheimers, between 2004 and 2012.
Danny Mayzes, Conservative councillor on Tendring District Council:
Tweeted that the film Machete, which figures violent vigilantes patrolling
the US/Mexico border, showed how to deal with immigration.
David Whittaker, former Conservative councillor on Isle of Wight
Council:"Found guilty of two charges of causing or inciting a child to
engage in sexual activity, sexual activity with a child, and engaging in
sexual activity while in the presence of a child."
Dr Peter Moseley, Conservative candidate for South Kesteven District
Council: Formerly an activist in the hard right British National Party,
selected to contest a safe Conservative seat.
Nilgun Canver, Labour councillor on Haringey Borough Council: A former

railway station pub. Has resigned the Lib Dem whip and now sits as an
independent.
Ajit Atwal, Liberal Democrat councillor on Derby City Council: Refused
to resign after posting a picture on Twitter posing with an AK-47 rifle.

Media scrutiny on UKIP has intensified this week following numerous
allegations relating to the behaviour of various candidates and party
activists.
In a statement accompanying the list, the party says:

"UKIP thanks to the national media, all other political parties and
various trade union- and government-funded lobby groups for the immense
amount of work they have put in, to undertake the Stasi-style 'scrutiny'
of the Facebook pages and Twitter feeds of UKIP's 2,200 local election
candidates - a substantial task which must be costing someone a bundle -
and assures them that every offensive remark reported to us will be
considered seriously by our National Executive Committee's disciplinary
committee."
