Europe lurches to the Right

big grooming scandal in Bristol going down, lots of somali men being sentenced for preying on homeless and vulnerable teenage girls in bristol

I don't seem to remember any outcry over the homeless teenagers in bristol, or the vulnerable ones the state can only afford to check on once every five months

That's presumably ok. But if they get raped by a muslim then suddenly everyone gives a shit

this country

This new wave of conservatives to gain power in Europe freaks me out.
Nigel Farage is dangerous. I acctually for 5 minutes got swayed by him. He talks so well, comes across incredibly strong, when was the last time we had an alpha male Prime Minister? he has a real Vladimir Putin esque masculine charisma about him its infectous. Marine LePen is having a different but simillar effect on the French.
But yeah this over the top vilification of a big chunk of our population worries me. A lot needs to be done and Its not constructive at all.

You really think so?

His, and his party's policies seem to be about enriching the UK's abilities to self-govern, as opposed to siphoning off control to Brussels. I don't find anything odd about that. Conservative, yes, but nothing out of the ordinary. I don't believe they've made any racist remarks. I have, however, heard many critics condemn UKIP, and Farage of xenophobia, and racism with the age-old platitude: "selective immigration policies = racism."

Nah he is too much, he is too right wing for the UK at the moment. Him leading would cause a lot of friction and create a toxic atmosphere. there have been a few people associated with the UKIP party making fucking stupid racist, homophobic remarks on twitter or caught out making them. Its somewhat alarming. I respect conservatives but not bigots. the party attracts the wrong people.
i find the party regressive. I think he would isolate us, also prior to 2008 recession didnt the economy increase as a result of Labours relaxed immigration laws? Bigger population equals bigger workforce. I think the 2 million Polish and eastern Europeans who arrived here since 2004 have been a real good thing for us.
i dont agree with Brussels having control over us either, but i dont think it would be wise to cut all ties with the EU. Something about being unified with 500 Million people, the strength in numbers aspect of the EU appeals to me.
