Mmmmm. It flies in the face of all the ignorant 'all Brexiteers are racist' mob, doesn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Let’s not forget that the first UKIP manifesto called for privatisation of the NHS until someone told them that they might be able to get votes in poor white working class areas.

Some of them have been read by thousands of the public as many have been printed in the national newspapers and I must add there were quite a few good comments written on some of them.
