Climb down off your high horse for a minute... and look at some of the things people have said on this forum about people on the right. If you want to talk about petty name-calling, UKIP have been called everything on here including Nazis and Fascists. By that thinking, everyone on the left is a Communist? I don't support UKIP, but I support absolutely their right to have a conversation about closing the borders of our already overcrowded island. That doesn't make me a racist, but some people would claim I am just by saying that and therefore attempting to shut down any rational discussion about immigration. On this very thread UKIP supporters have been called a whole host of names. Where are your posts criticising them?

I don't hear many kids in primary school calling people lefties, incidentally.
