Ukip - Start Reading The Last Rites, They're Done
Ukip, after it's Right Wing policies were rejected by 98.2% of the electorate in the last General Election, have come up with a solution to it's 'unelectability'.
They've have officially, intentionally, gone further Far Right. Their 'Interim Manifesto' announcement today has been lifted from a combination of Britain First and BNP equivalents from the last ten years. It will get a smattering of headlines, then we'll all revert back to reality of proper politics.
From the Guardian ...
Let's put this into actual context : Ukip is now too extreme for Nigel Farage. Now there's a line we never thought we'd ever type.
Ukip has proposed Muslim-only prisons, special security screening for Muslim would-be immigrants and a repeal of equalities laws before its annual conference, further indicating the party’s shift to the populist hard right.
As Zelo Street perfectly summed up ...
'Popular', Batten calls it.
Allowing people to spread hatred under cover of “free speech” ?
Doing away with Human Rights?
Segregation of part of the population ?
Demonising that minority of the population as “alien”
Inventing hostile political doctrines to give supporters something to oppose?
Spreading fear of “the other”?
Claiming to be a friend to ordinary hard-working people?
Offering easy and glib solutions to their problems.
What does that sound like?
We call it 'The last coffin nail.'
