Just as they are the ONLY political party to have a fully costed sound and legitimate Manifesto.

It's the fact that the were the ONLY party to leave anything about LGBT rights out of their manifesto.

You should, you'd be excellent.

I don't understand how anybody can actually take a long hard look at what UKIP want to achieve and not consider it as worrying. Their views ARE bigoted. Do you honestly believe that the most terrible thing going on in this country is that people are coming over here from different countries for work? You are aware of what is actually happening in a lot of these countries? The reasons they want to escape? Their motives aren't as sinister as you'd like to believe.
These "bloody foreigners" are taking the jobs that the British don't want. Factory work, land work - things that a lot of Brits see as beneath them. How the hell the UK can be so terrified of political correctness and not offending anybody when UKIP is a serious contender for government is beguiling to say the least.

Lol so they are homophobic for something not in their manifesto?

Brilliant

The issues are far, far, more complex and deeper than that Rob, but 'each to their own' and as always I respect your right to your view.

So you believe that homosexuality is a special interest group? Like caravanners?

UKIP candiate John Lyndon Sullivan said that "poofters" should be shot
John Kearney said that gay people are "prisoners who need freedom"
UKIP donor Demetri Marchessin says that gay people are incapable of fidelity
Iain McLaughlin says it was a tragedy that Section 28 was repealed
UKIP MEP Roger Helmer says it's ok to be homophobic if you're over 70, and that being gay's "abnormal and undesirable"
Julia Gasper says gay people should be sectioned under the Mental Health Act
David Silvester says gay marriage causes floods
Sam Fletcher is "baffled by the acceptance of homosexuality"

Just a few.

Labour.

Oh and the added fact that all of these people still are in power.

Thats great but where is this in the manifesto?

Every large party has eejits if u care to look

So does this forum apparently. You've just been told twice that LGBT rights aren't mentioned in their manifesto.

That must be the ones hurling false accusations and failing miserably to back them up?

You could be right

False accusations? Such as?

If posting a (not even comprehensive) list of some of the homophobic things UKIP candidates have said over the past couple of years isn't proof of anything then god help us all.

:clap1:

(and before anyone points out that UKIP have got a gay MEP - yes, they do. Who's a massive racist and opposes same-sex marriage)

Oh and I'll just leave this here.

and i will leave this from march 2014


:hehe:

Yes, it can't possibly be a homophobic party if it was calling for same sex marriages to be banned as one of its policies just a year ago.

oh and I have noticed that no party has mentioned anything about Gingers or short people


smh

what is the world coming to?

that is right, you cant

Think the thing with Ukip is that their policies themselves aren't actually racist or that prejudiced and I don't think Farage is either. He generally seems the libertarian type who really doesn't give a toss about peoples race, sexuality etc. The problem is that up until very recently they were just part of the irrelevant right wing loony fringe. Look at their manifesto in 2010 and its a load of nonsense, even Farage admits it was 'drivel'. But because that's the sort of party Ukip were for so long they attracted a lot of dodgy characters and they weren't too bothered about how questionable their supporters were because nobody cared about Ukip at that stage. But now that means the ones who are highest up in the party are those who naturally have been there the longest and were attracted to the Ukip of pre-2010, and they're a big embarrassment to Farage. It's why for all the talk about Ukip being 'anti-establishment' and 'something different' they've had to moderate themselves massively and move closer to the political centre in order to have any legitimacy.

When hell freezes over.

also a lot of Ukip supporters grew up with things like homosexuality being a criminal offence.
