The rise and rise of UKIP...

I can imagine a large amount of UKIP voters thinking "but why was she sacked?!" 

They might actually lose support by ditching this kind of voice.

They are already losing support big time. Labour and the Tories have both made big gains at the expense of UKIP and the Lib Dems recently and for the first time in 3 years, UKIPs support has fallen below 10%.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/generalelection/has-the-ukip-bubble-burst-new-poll-shows-big-gains-for-labour-and-tories-at-expense-of-lib-dems-and-nigel-farages-party-10041358.html

Net migration up to 298,000.

Unless you vote for Nigel a Pole will have your job inside 12 months and you'll be begging in the streets outside the Macron.

No point - it would be a wasted vote. With less than 10% of the vote and falling, UKIP will never have any power to do anything so why waste your vote on a no-hoper? It's like shitting on your own doorstep as a protest.

What a load of shit again. If everyone voted UKIP (as I think they will) Nigel will be PM.

Go on then. Tell us how everyone is suddenly going to start voting for that twat when currently the UKIP vote is plummeting.

Why don't you admit the truth? You're out of touch and UKIP have been found out.

Until UKIP provide a complete manifesto outlining their intended proposals and aims they are unlikely to take all that many seats.

haha.

"exit polls suggest a 100% vote share for UKIP 0% for everyone else. The whole house is now UKIP with a majority of 650."

I think a lot of people are like you, full of anti-UKIP sentiments in public for fear of being branded racist, but when you're alone inside that booth you'll put a tick next to UKIP.

I don't think every voter in the country is a closet racist Nat.

It's not racist to want to keep foreigners out of the UK.

She's right.

She's a xenophobe - there's a difference.

I hate everyone equally.

They're all right coming into the country but they can't be let on to the trains.

.

Turns out that the majority of them are from non-EU countries and include an increased number of affluent Chinese, Russina and Arab students who are paying £25k+ p.a. to study here and Aussies/Kiwis who are being actively recruited to fill the massive shortage in qualified paramedics.

So how would leaving Europe change that? And what about all the money and services we'd lose?

So how do you define a "foreigner"?

I mean technically, we are all foreigners or at least descended from them. Personally I'm descended from the Normans on one side of the family (yes- royalty I know) and the Scots on the other.

Whittam is an Irish name so should you be sent back because your ancestors fled the Potato Famine and came over here stealing our canal-digging jobs?

Anyone living outside of Preston.

They'd be English, my dear.   Only Prestonians, Welsh, Tykes, Scottish, Manx and Irish are foreigners!

I hadn't realised you were so in favour of a multicultural Britain - well done!

Ethnic groups are obviously not a problem seeing as Preston has less "White British" people than the national average.

As the census tells us:

Preston is a diverse city, although the majority of the non-indigenous people are South Asians, in particular Indians. The ethnic makeup of Preston based on the 2011 census is as follows (With average for England in brackets): 75.8% White British (79.8%), 0.8% White Irish (1.0%), 3.5% Other White (4.6%). 2.3% Mixed Race (2.2%). 10.3% Indian (2.6%), 3.2% Pakistani (2.1%), 0.3% Bangladeshi (0.8%), 0.9% Other Asian (1.5%). 0.6% Black Caribbean (1.1%), 0.5% Black African (1.8%), 0.1% Other Black (0.5%). 0.9% Chinese (0.7%), 0.4% Arab (0.4%) and 0.3% other (0.6%).
