No ... I think that's a bit unfair, UKIP have a large number of members from all racial and religious backgrounds. They are a respectable Political Party and to liken them to an out and out racist party is the sort of cheap tactic employed by UKIP's detractors when they have run out of normal political argument/debate.

I agree, Nedusa. I don't have much time for UKIP, but they are mostly made up of educated people and professionals. As much as I don't agree with them, I don't see how they could be likened to the illiterate, ill-educated, slack-jawed knuckle-draggers that make up the BNP. I believe it is possible to have a discussion about immigration without being a fascist yourself.
