The coverage of his rally was fair enough, I suppose, but some of those commenting were simply vile.
It is wholly unacceptable to wildly brand the man as a racist trying to manipulate the truth into something totally different. The dishonesty of that is the customary dishonesty of the left.

I may not know enough about the BP - and I probably never shall having retired from all active politics on the 24/6/2016 - but I do know pretty much all that there is to know about the Ukip phenomenon when Farage was in charge - and afterwards.
1) Racism was not permitted and got you the boot as did previous membership of racist parties.
2) Blacks, Jews and Moslems all played a role in the party and worked hand in glove with Nigel. These groups had elected candidates, had positions of authority and addressed conferences - I know because I was slap bang in the middle of it all. Indeed, I recall dining with a Moslem guy who was an election candidate one of a number.
3) Nigel was married to a German lady.
4) He mixed freely and happily with all races and I know that he numbers quite a few amongst his friends.
I despise wild charges of racism against anyone who does not toe a totally leftist line on immigration.
