Okay, I have one major gripe with what you said. You make an assumption that Pat Condell is making sweeping generalisations about muslims. Islam? Arguable. But muslims? I've never seen Pat dissing ordinary muslims, he's always made his arguments towards ISLAM as a religion. If you can find me a specific incident of Pat generalising muslims then be my guest and post it here. Otherwise I've always been under the impression that Pat has had beef with Islam, not necessarily the everyday person who might believe it. Sure he probably thinks they're brainwashed nitwits, but then again, I do too. So bite me

Yes I've watched Pat's videos, and to be perfectly honest I find a lot of what he's saying right.
The video's you posted are of some guy ranting on about UKIP. So what? Because Pat supports them (didn't really know nor care) it somehow makes him a complete hypocrite? All that this guy's video's centres round are his assertions of questionable things which people have said in the party from about 20 years ago, and things in their manifesto which he is interpreting in his own bizarre fashion.
According to his logic anyone who supports a political party which has made mistakes, or is in some way interpreted to be 'bad' then they are a hypocrite? Well what about all the labor and conservative voters? Are you telling me their manifesto's and their people are free from controversy?
The whole UKIP thing is besides the point as to why I watch Pat Condell anyway. And as far as I'm concerned is besides the point of his videos. I wouldn't actually give a shit if the guy supported the BNP. If what he was saying in his videos was something I agree with, then I would agree with it regardless of the political parties he supports, or the past which the man has. His videos are very much centred around religion yes, but that's what he likes to talk about. And that's why people watch them. The fact that Pat supports UKIP is irrelevant.
