Here’s what is probably the last selection from Clarence the Farage Labourite. He adds his points on the UKIP is a racist party:
But when like myself, am submerged into the real modern online world through twitter, Facebook and so on……..I come across a large diverse base of support for UKIP. Not only will you find your predominant White middle aged politically engaged supporter, but to my surprise, I am discovering a large base of under 25s voicing support for UKIP, an age bracket that the older parties often consider the lost age because of their lack of interest in politics. That is a great sign for the future. Also, UKIP has a huge immigrant membership and support base. Mostly at first it was the more settled Afro Caribbean population, but in the past 1 year there has been a surge from the Indian Hindu community with numerous members now standing in local council and European elections. a growing number from Islamic community and a rapidly massive movement from recently settled Polish community who within their beliefs see the same threats to democracy as we native Britons do. The UK has had a large Polish community from after WW2 and when Polish citizens where allowed to travel freely throughout the EU. Over 1 million came to the UK. Britain is very popular with the Polish Youth. A now settled integrated community, they share a lot of British customs and beliefs. The Governments attempted scare tactics stating that UKIP would expel all non UK citizens is itself failing because A large section of the recently arrived EU citizens just don’t believe it.
Within my local branch of UKIP, fellow members include 3 Muslims, 4 Indians, 4 Polish, 2 Orthodox Jews and numerous from Afro ancestry.
I can say that I am not initially impressed with the claim: Hey we have this group or that group in our organization. It can be tokenism. But I can be impressed with Clarence’s testimony. I intend to test this supposition through social media involving UKIP. A tweet will go out tonight in re: Testimonies on the genuine diversity of UKIP.
UPDATE: I did send the tweet! And someone asked: Why do you write about UKIP? I will answer that in tonight’s post!
