Some twat has just reported my blog as abusive. Would people share in groups as I cant. Thanks. During the Tory 2005 election campaign billboards were used that read: “It isn’t racist to talk about immigration.” That phrase is now the mantra of UKIP supporters, and is used as the platform to launch populist rhetoric founded on social divisions, Social Darwinism and established hierarchy. More than half of UKIP’s support in the European elections came from disenchanted Conservative voters, a poll commissioned by Lord Ashcroft found. It was the Conservatives that created the opportunity for UKIP to join mainstream political conversation. The Conservatives started the process of politically scapegoating minority groups to justify austerity cuts that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable citizens. The rise in racism is paralleled with a rise in disability hate crime, which is now at it’s highest since records began. kittysjones.wordpress/2014/05/28/ukip-conservativism-and-the-racist-race-to-the-bottom/
