I have followed the "WilkyWays" on and off for a few years. I don't actively like every single one of these vloggers that I follow - I might disagree with them on some things, find them mildly irritating but still keep an eye on what they are up to when flicking through social media.

I was bored the other night and decided to google to see what the Dad actually did as there are sometimes references to his job/travel etc. I assumed he was high up in the business world. Turns out he is in fucking UKIP.

UKIP is everything I despise.

Disclaimer - I know this is not really a major problem. I am just generally chit chatting about it. I feel a bit like I want to shudder as I have been watching them and thinking how nice they come across and turns out he (maybe her too) have revolting views and are pals with Nigel.

and that asking whether or not she should watch wasn't exactly an interesting AIBU if she was looking for something to do

I didn't realise you were arbiter of what classes as interesting on MN.

OP clearly said she's been ill and was looking for conversation. Why be SO unnecessarily twattish?

I don't know who they are but if you had to go and look up what he did it doesn't seem like they're up front about it or standing by it particularly. So they are aware it would go down poorly and hurt their popularity (read ad revenue) so just keep their horrible opinions on the DL.
That makes them twice as crap. Happy to make money from BME views before they herd them onto the boat home.
I can disagree with views but still respect what people are trying to do and, as much as a few clicks ever do, can happily continue to support them, no possible way I'd support these people who would happily destroy my family to rid the country of the people they have been recorded as calling n*ggers. UKIP pretend they aren't the BNP, they're just not very good at it.
