Been a lot on the TV about various UKIPper being "racist".

Xenophobia does seem to be the core of what little policy they have, so
it would be surprising if they did not attract racists.

I really didn't have you pegged as as ignorant as that, Colin.

On both statements

Given that UKIP seemingly refuse to publish a manifesto to replace the
"drivel" they stood behind in 2010, it's really only fair to go by the
pronouncements of their candidates and representatives to attempt to
divine what policies they have - other, of course, than refusing a
referendum on EU membership.

And, you have to admit, when those pronouncements apparently come from
people unsure whether Dudley is "a black country" or in _the_ black
country, it's difficult to be particularly impressed...
