Farage will revel in taking part and will outperform everyone I think.

Somebody on here mentioned that Cameron kept mentioning the economy. All you will get from Farage is the EU and immigration.What are their policies on the economy, NHS,Education, Law and Order etc etc ? Will they stand up to intense scrutiny ? Will Farage be their lone spokesman in the election campaign or will they dare to unleash some of the others other than their current two MPs Carswell and Reckless? Fascinating !

I'm sure Farage will do just fine speaking about the economy. After all, being a former stockbroker he does have some first-hand experience on the matter as opposed to the others who are just career politicians.

Oh dear.




Oh dear indeed.


Yep.

So are there any specific examples of ethnic minorities playing the race card?

There plenty that you can google; however the two that rankle me the most are:

1 From a lecturer at Brixton college, albeit a few years ago, you can't be racist if you are black due to the oppression [sic slavery] by the white man. Sorry but no.

2 A recent personal one was my 6 year old son was told by a boy that they could not be friends because he is white. That was pretty difficult to explain as concepts like racism and truly evil don't exist in his world.

I hate people who discriminate grrrr!

Ok I'm gonna set two rules.

1) Anecdotal evidence doesn't count. Anyone can make up a story so unless you have actual evidence I'm sorry I don't believe you. No one has ever won an argument by making up a story

2) I've asked the question, don't insult me by asking me to do the googling for you. If you have evidence, show me. It's a very simple request.

So again... Any evidence from anyone that entire ethnic minorities have played the race card? A 'lecturer from Brixton College' is not an ethnic minority

Farage wasn't a "stockbroker" (though his father was), he was a commodities trader. This basically involves betting on the future prices of various commodities; he tended to specialise in metals. Trading involves very much a gambler's mindset, and Farage apparently made some good bets and some bad ones, making and losing large sums for his employers.

Working as a commodities trader confers no first-hand, second hand or even third hand experience of running a nations economy.

The gambler's instinct has continued right up to the current election campaign. Farage has pledged that if he doesn't get elected as an MP in May he will resign as UKIP leader. He's put all his chips on red, and if black comes up he'll be gone, and so will UKIP.

Wishful thinking Mr Balls.

When Nige steps to one side, Douglas Carswell will lead UKiP. Carswell would be an excellent leader who would offer natural progression from Nige.

You obviously like to get a boner from thinking that UKIP will all be over soon. It won't. Politics is only going to get more fragmented over the next few years and parties like UKiP and, unfortunately, the Greens, will be around for a while.

So in other words, you won't accept any amount of evidence but you will play little games of pedantry to resist the need to back pedal as long as possible.

Have fun with that.

Trevor Phillips hit the nail on the head in this programme.

He might have said these things to blunt UKIP's popularity just before the election but they are none the less true.

The only part of the program that did make me smile was Les Ferdinand telling us what a tough time he has had trying to get a managers job because he is black.
Er, Les, the team who pays you handsomely has a black manager. Maybe it's just you mate.
The President of the United States is black FFS.
He got there because he is smart, hard working and popular. Being black wasn't a problem for him was it.

I'm not back peddling I've been quite clear.

To quote you actually

"Ethnic minorities play the race card constantly for self interest purposes"

You've managed to show me one article where one person played the race card in 2011. Forgive me for not being convinced that 'ethnic minorities' 'constantly' play the race card.

Showing one person playing the race card is no more evidence that ethnic minorities play the race card than me calling white people racists and posting a link of Nick Griffin being racist

It's a simple question and not a pedantic one so I don't know why you're struggling with it. Did you mean that occasionally one or two people who are from ethnic minorities may play the race card or did you mean what you said?

I remember the Gurkhas playing the race card ganging up and upsetting the government demanding an increase on their paltry ethnic minority based pensions. How very dare they.
