Farage and UKIP deny they are against multiculturalism.

But they do claim they want control of their borders.

Claiming the one isn't the same as the other might just be sophistry.

There's this movement now that advises you not to say you're against multiculturalism. You say you're for culturalism.



As to UKIP not being right wing, I don't know, maybe not. To be honest I'm never sure exactly what right wing is depending on the time and place. I do know I hear people from the UK who think they are right wing talking about voting UKIP this time as the alternative that has a chance. They're disgusted with Cameron and don't think he's on their side. He claims to be Conservative, doesn't he?

CCGA, are you from the UK? Would you know what happened in the Tower Hamlets election?

[ccga3359]

I'm from UK but been here since '79. Interesting thing I heard about Tower Hamlets is that the ballot form was folded in such way as to hide UKIP's check box without unfolding it completely. I'm pretty sure UKIP didn't win any seats in TH though

This is what I found in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... reelection

Yeah I saw the folding ballots thing. Also they were campaigning and intimidating at the entrances to the polls.

Damn that crook, eh? And it looks like he won again, does it? Damn.

Oh well...thanks.

Still an ongoing investigation though, thanks to Eric Pickles, a conservative I do like.

Didn't take long.



Here's a nice article about the 3rd world politics in the middle of London.

It's easy to win when the ballot paper looks like this..
