In the article, this minor youth member states that she is leaving the party because of

"In reality, however, the direction in which the party is going is terrifying: Ukip has descended into a form of racist populism that I cannot bring myself to vote for. This week I decided to leave the party and I will abstain from voting in the upcoming European elections. I urge other Ukip supporters to do the same."

But she does not explain why she thinks that, what evidence supports this view other than her own prejudice.

She also adds: "The former Ukip supporter said she had been alarmed by a recent party poster which featured a large finger pointing at the camera next to the words: "26m people in Europe are looking for work. And whose jobs are they after?

Thandi writes: "The … poster epitomises where the party is going wrong. This anti-immigrant campaign undermines Ukip's claim not to be a racist party. They are turning the election into a game of 'us' and 'them'. Well, I am with 'them'."

Again she does not state any evidence to support her claim not does she say why she thinks that the immigrants will take UK jobs.

Smacks of bollocks to me.

she is not claiming it, UKIP are in their poster
