Like I said, they're not the BNP, I still think they're damn awful. In my opinion. You don't think they are.
Quote:Let's not play dumb, the insinuation is that people who want to leave the EU are as bad as people in these parties who are racist and bigoted. That's the only reason the BNP has been brought up here.
The similarity for me, is that nowadays even unintelligent racists seem to not take the BNP seriously anymore. However, pretty much all the racists I have spoken to in the last few years support UKIP.
In my own personal experience, not all UKIP supporters are racist, but pretty much all the politically active racists I have spoken to are UKIP supporters.
Quote:Whether someone supports UKIP, the BNP or the Monster Raving Loony party, the reasons to leave the EU are not invalidated by anyone else's notions that these parties may or may not be bags of shit.
True. I said I don't think we should leave the EU and gave my reasons for that. I also said that I hate UKIP. I didn't say that reasons to leave the EU are invalidated by my hatred of UKIP or BNP or any other party.
Quote:Funnily enough, you can agree with a point of view held by a person and it doesn't mean you agree with everything else they say. Same goes for political parties.
Yes I agree but it's not "funnily enough" at all, I'm not an idiot, I'm not playing dumb and I didn't say any of the things that you're saying I said. You can say all you want what you think is being insinuated, it doesn't make it true.
