It is over 100 years since a national election has been won by a party other than the Conservatives and Labour.

What's more the UK Independence Party did it by winning seats not just in every region of England but in Wales and Scotland too!

UKIP opinions are the majority - FACT!

Grin at the colour chart. In our family we have a full spectrum of one of those Dulux paint mixing cards.

When I went to school I was the only white child amongst 1000 children. It is people like you who make me very thankful for my diverse upbringing. I could not imagine being in the slightest bit bothered that the majority of people around me had a different skin colour.

squoosh · 27/05/2014 17:56

If the OP is an example of the people UKIP have set loose on the internet to lure people over to the UKIP way of thinking I will rest easy in my non-bigoted bed tonight.

What would happen to humans if we encountered aliens since there are so many intent on looking down on those they don't consider the correct nationality. Just pondering.

Who are you trying to kid squoosh? She almost had your vote there. I saw you wavering. Not your fault of course, OP is very charismatic and persuasive Wink

I have not said anything remotely racist - The only time colour was refered to was when i quoted statistics from the census in 2011 to explain why London results may have differed, seeing as a lot of British people were from different countries. But, like all UKIP threads and discussiions, it get's hijacked with the "Racist" crew, despite, like the UKIP, I have not said ANYTHING that is racist and only quoted facts and figures.

Squoosh - well, yes, but I think we may have all been resting a little too easy and putting too much faith in the intelligence of our fellow country people because, undeniably, enough people did fall for this nonsense to the extent that they actually went and voted for it to ensure that a bunch of UKIP "representatives" will now be being handsomely funded by all of us to do nothing at all except be against everything.

squoosh · 27/05/2014 18:02

She nearly had me at 'ethnical' Fideline!

FidelineandFumblin · 27/05/2014 18:02

BTW Did anyone see this; www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/may/26/ukip-founder-alan-sked-party-become-frankensteins-monster The founder of UKIP says they are racist.

TortoiseUpATreeAgain · 27/05/2014 18:02

"But i mentioned the word English so i must be racist"

No, you insisted that someone is only from England if their parents (and, it emerged, their parents' parents, and their parents' parents' parents, and so forth) are from England. That's what's making you sound racist - your insistence that large swathes of the population aren't really from here.

Aspiringhuman · 27/05/2014 18:03

Try rereading your posts OP. You've said plenty that's racist.

squoosh · 27/05/2014 18:03

I know stealth, you're right and it makes me sick to the pit of my foreign belly. A friend of mine worked in Brussels for a spell, the stories she tells about UKIP MEPs.................

FidelineandFumblin · 27/05/2014 18:04

I have not said ANYTHING that is racist and only quoted facts and figures.

Worried you'll be in trouble with the boss OP?

Send him to us. We'll vouch for what you said.

squoosh · 27/05/2014 18:04

I read that article, fascinating reading.

No. When you said MrsDVs children's Englishness depended on their colour you 1. Said something racist and 2. Referred to colour.

That's when we realised that you were 1. Racist. 2. Thick.

FidelineandFumblin · 27/05/2014 18:07

Oh and (also as per guardian article linked above) Farage is quoted as saying that there is no point worrying about the 'nig nog' vote. Little charmer.

AutumnStar · 27/05/2014 18:08

As a topical aside, I tried to type 'I'm not very technical, I'm afraid' on a Facebook thread to a friend who was having phone problems.

My phone saw fit to change it to 'I'm not very technical, I'm African'.

Bloody racist device.

dawndonnaagain · 27/05/2014 18:10

What's on your passport and you ethnical heritage are not the same thing though are they
Apart from the fact that the made up words are highly amusing, I'm afraid that this I have not said ANYTHING that is racist and only quoted facts and figures. bit of nonsense has me laughing, and all before teatime, too.
So what are your views regarding UKIP and disability OP?

FidelineandFumblin · 27/05/2014 18:11

Correction: Exact quote is "'There's no need to worry about the nigger vote. The nig-nogs will never vote for us.'" Said to a colleague allegedley.

Interesting article.

Autumn I hope you had words with it Grin

dawndonnaagain · 27/05/2014 18:15

Grin LtEve I think I luffs you!

AutumnStar · 27/05/2014 18:25

I did, Fideline Grin. It's banned from voting.

MerryMarigold · 27/05/2014 18:27

I wonder how this OP is going down on netmums Wink.

dawndonnaagain · 27/05/2014 18:31

I do feel that immigration is out of control and can not continue as it is. This is not racism. It would not be classed as racism in any other country.

He was one of 7 (in a class of 30) who had English as a first language - This SERIOUSLY hindered his learning and development.

Being a minority in your own country would not happen, and indeed is not the case, in any other European country.

I live near southall and i am the the only white english person in both my work place and the block i live in

I'm not a racist bigot as you have accused, but as far as immigration is concerned, when is enough enough?

enough is enough or put a policy in place to safeguard this country for future generations

Being English and being British are not the same thing though are they!

That was surely because most of the British people in London are not English

I don't think the doors to our schools/hospitals/housing should be a Euro free for al and i DO think that these should be prioritised for British people who have chipped in over the years

Depends on the colour of their skin? If i had a baby in Jamaica, the baby would still be English and not Jamaican IYSWIM

I am English, and should i have a baby anywhere in the world it would still be English.

What for posting statistics and saying that a child carries the ethnicity from his mother? A British Jamaican would still say they are Jamaican, wouldn't they?

What's on your passport and you ethnical heritage are not the same thing though are they

But you are half from wherever your dad is from though, right? So you are half English half ?

Because if the are black they would have heritige from somewhere else other then english wouldn't they?

But you're not fucking racist?

Deverethemuzzler · 27/05/2014 18:32

But i mentioned the word English so i must be racist

No. You said racist stuff so you must be racist.

HTH

Deverethemuzzler · 27/05/2014 18:33

I think we all know what has 'seriously hindered' the DS's development.
And it aint Tomaz, Hamza, Sofia and Musnah.
