mj.scuba Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 UKIP are not the new BNP in terms of policies but the left will treat them like they're the BNP now that the BNP dont seem to be a going concern any more. It's quite predictable, the better UKIP do, the more the left will try to characterise them as BNP wannabes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It's quite predictable, the better UKIP do, the more the left will try to characterise them as BNP wannabes. Not at all, most people on the left identified them as the BNP-lite long ago before they ever had any success. It's not a deliberate tactic to smear them, it's just honestly how we see them.

Green Web Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Aha! The expected answer from a contributor who is regularly verbally chastised on this forum. I doubt if you understand the word 'Debate', so far you have posted illogical,unfounded and spurious statements about UKIP & BNP policies none of which you have backed up with any solid evidence to justify your ludicrous posts. All viewpoints are valid in a democracy however,it is no good posting any old rubbish that cannot be verified and a lesson I think you need to learn is to distinguish opinion from prejudice. Opinions are backed by facts. Now where were we.............................?? Oh dear is that the best you can do? I thought you might be able to learn from your mistakes. Seems a gave you more credit than what I should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Web Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 But there were more BNP ex voters turned to Labour than UKIP. Look at Maltby, formerly BNP, now Labour... I think UKIP have you worried and you're just mud slinging... Not everything revolves around Maltby, its a pretty pointless place. UKIP still managed to get a significant increase in the vote share, where the traditionally the BNP always used to do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Sidney Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Can someone, so we can put this to bed, please provide any evidence that the policies of UKIP are the same as those of the BNP? A link to a manifesto or an interview with the leadership or anything really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A link to a manifesto or an interview with the leadership or anything really... I don't think anyone's claiming that they do have the same policies are they. The suggestion appears to be that the supporters of both parties share a similar mindset albeit expressed less foecibly within UKIP than the BNP. Anyways you never got around to answering my questions - which opinion are you claiming is the only one that's acceptable and what happeneed 'last time'?

The left are frothing because Nigel Farage is a charasmatic guy that has appeal with some sections of the working class; he seems to get a round of applause every time he opens his mouth on Question time when he's on.
