Why would I read my post? I wrote it?
Damn... why don't you read it as you're clearly having difficulty grasping what I was saying.
Perhaps if there's an adult around, ask them for help... OK?
Or you're simply being a troll.
That's not open door though is it? open door gives the impression that literally anyone can enter the country from any other country from throughout the world.

Please explain your statement.
Are you trying to say there hasn't been an 'open door immigration policy'?
Rather than just say something is 'nonsense' please explain exactly how and / or why it is nonsense.
All you seem to be doing is spouting empty political rhetoric and dogma with zero substance to support your claim that all UKIP supporters are 'racist' and that UKIP itself is 'an inch away from being a Nazi Party'.
Show exactly how UKIP compares to Nazi's.
Why?
Is the EU such a sacred entity that it is above criticism?
Why can't people express their dislike and distrust of the EU?
Whether you like it or not there is growing concern over the UK's continued membership of the EU and many, many people would like to see a full and open public debate on the merits and drawbacks of EU membership followed by a legally binding referendum on the subject.
What exactly is wrong with that?
And that Sir says far more about you than it does anyone else.
What gives you or anyone else the right to set the political agenda?
Why is your opinion any more valuable or noteworthy than those who you arrogantly deem 'ignorant' and 'hateful'?
It seems to me that you are the one who seeks to impose your values on others and limit peoples right to free speech etc.
I put it to you that you are the one who is the very embodiment of the term 'BIGOT'.

Why are you deliberately ignoring what i wrote about the specific immigration under discussion?
Namely EU immigration, not general immigration from anywhere in the world.
We are, and UKIP are predominately focused on unfettered immigration from throughout the Eurozone, as in reagrd the EU rules of freedom of movement from within the EU nations.
Nobody during this thread has mentioned immigration from literally anywhere in the world.
This is due to the vast differences in immigration policy between the two...Worldwide immigration into the UK is governed by a set of domestically produced rules and criteria for would-be immigrants wanting to come here to study, work and reside.
People applying to do that, from outside of the EU, have to fulfil certain, and in comparison to EU immigration policies, fairly rigorous criteria before either being granted a Visa to come here, or being refused one on the grounds of not fulfilling the criteria.
Such criteria include among other things...skills that are in demand here in Britain, that there is a shortage of domestically and we can make use of. Students can also apply to study in our Universities. If applicant immigrants are judged to be of little value to our country, society and way of life here, or are assessed to be little more than a strain or drain on our limited resources, we will refuse entry and deny the application to come.
The difference between general world wide immigration and immigration into Britain from the Eurozone is stark, in fact the two are polar opposites in terms of our powers of veto...we can either reject or admit immigrants from anywhere outside of the Eurozone at our discretion, based upon our domestically produced criteria for entry...whereas we have no power to decline immigrants from the EU, who may come here at their own discretion, regardless of skills they may or may not have, regardless of whether or not they are deemed to enhance or detract from our country's general quality and well being.
World immigration, is literally a world away from European immigration, and i'm not talking geographically.
To confuse the two and lump them into the same argument is completely disingenuous and misleading.
You mean the far-right and nationalist party that runs xenophobic campaigns designed to win votes by whipping up animosity against foreigners living and working and contributing to this country?
That strawman needs trimming. I said 'denigrate membership in the EU as a matter of course' as whenever anything even slightly related to the EU is mentioned to UKIP/BNP members it's seen as the devil.
Unsurprisingly, coming from a UKIP defender/supporter/member it actually means a lot less than you might think.
Hey if you ever find me attempting to remove people or kick them out of the country, city, village or even an online forum, if you ever hear me attempting to silence anyone ever.....then sure you can call me that.....but you never will.
So you can keep your projection thank you very much...

Sure UKIP are a vile and offensive and bigoted party... and many of their members & candidates are too.

Do you really think the vast majority of UKIP members know the differences between the two? do you really think they care?

Concern over this country's immigration policy is not limited to 'White' people.
I personally know quite a few Black and Asians who are equally concerned - are they racially motivated?

Sorry, any attempt to liken UKIP to the Nazi Party is sensationalist nonsense.
Compare the policies and manifesto's of both.
The reality is that for many the EU does indeed represent the devil incarnate.
But you are levelling an accusation that you yourself are guilty of - whenever anything even slightly related to UKIP is mentioned to you it's seen as the devil.
You appear exceptionally reluctant to recognise that many, many people dislike and distrust the EU - that is an undeniable FACT.
And more and more British people wish to have a debate and democratic vote on continued membership of the EU.
That has absolutely nothing to do with left wing / right wing dogmatic bollocks and everything to do with wanting to have a democratic say on who governs us.
The fact that you are quite comfortable about labelling and stereotyping literally thousands and thousands of people actually does speak volumes about you.
Your insistence that ALL UKIP supporters are racists fly's in the face of the widely documented fact that they all aren't.
Yes, the woman highlighted in the OP is racist and has quite rightly been dismissed from the party - but she is not representative of ALL UKIP's membership and supporters.
Concern over this country's immigration policy is not limited to 'White' people.
I personally know quite a few Black and Asians who are equally concerned - are they racially motivated?
But you are openly intolerant and contemptuous of anyone who has an opinion different from your own - the definition of a bigot.
Personally I think Farage is a complete twat and I no more trust him than I trust Cameron / Miliband / Clegg et al - but I recognise that he strikes a chord with an increasing number of people because he is forcing to the forefront two issues that are of major concern to the British people, issues which have been disdainfully ignored by the established parties who continue to treat the electorate with aloof contempt.

Why is it you think you have some sort of supernatural power to get into the heads of everyone who may vote UKIP?
What's worse is that you assume that anyone voting UKIP is too stupid to understand the nuances at play here. I'd hazard a guess and say if any of them are like myself, they have a damned site better handle on things than you seem to.
Both parties are far-right and nationalist parties that run xenophobic campaigns designed to win votes by whipping up animosity against foreigners living and working and contributing in their respective countries are they not?...
For the reasons mentioned above yes, and not because the daily mirror/mail/express told me that the EU is going to force me to only eat bananas that have the correct curvature amongst other such nonsense.
You did just quote me as saying that I most people consider the EU to be the devil didn't you? why would you make such an inane statement like that? 'exceptionally reluctant' lol
For you personally maybe, but you're being quite naive or dishonest if you think that the vast majority of people dislike the EU due to the the apparent control the European commission actually has in the UK.
It's a red herring and UKIP is just another gathering call to those that voted/supported the BNP and other such parties.
The UK has come a long way over the last few decades but racism is still rife even in urban cities and especially in the more rural areas.
Widely documented fact? lol were they merely asking UKippers if they were racists?
I disagree, and I suggest that the only reason she was expelled is because the wider public were made aware and so they had no choice.
Why would you assume that racism is limited to only white people? (seems kinda racist)
Contemptuous yes, extremely so. Intolerant of racists and xenophobic people? also a yes.
Of all the issues the UK faces at the moment, the non-threat of the demonic EU is merely a smokescreen fueled by peoples ignorance and prejudices.
And if you think any party led by a man like Farage won't 'continue to treat the electorate with aloof contempt' then you're incredibly naive.
Buy hey, he drinks a pint of beer like us normals.....

I'm sure you would, and if I were to also hazard a guess I'd say that a great many Ukippers were very similar to yourself in that they'd support any kind of far right BNP type party (as your facebook page indicates....).
