| Here is a balanced article from the excellent 'Hope Not Hate' site, from my standpoint, I do feel that there is much to cause concern regarding UKIP, at the least, they don't seem to be vetting their enrollees and I have heard Farage being very unfair to my faith, even when confronted with facts, he would not budge http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/ukip/oppose |

I suppose it depends on how you define "rascist". The "racist" card can be used very much like the "anti-semitic" card.
There are certainly a lot of "moderate" people in this nation who do not like to see large parts of the country changeing because of ethnic/cultural/religious reasons. Not specifically because they "hate" people from those groups. A lot will stem back to the first and second world wars where are nation fought to keep out the german jack boot from this "green and plesant land" Large influxes of people from other nations seems to some to be an insult for what our parents fought and died to prevent. The change to being hugely cosmopolitan is not easy for some and they have the right to defend politically what they believe in. Suggesting that UKIP might secretly be racist could work in their favour numerically
