I don't think all UKIP supporters are racist, and it's not just the anti-immigration sentiment that turns me off them. I also don't like their environmental policies with supporting shale gas and fracking. They've also expressed anti-gay views and as a gay man, that affects me.
I feel it's a slippery slope too. It'll start with seemingly "soft" anti-immigration sentiment and could snowball into other things. That's what I'm worried about and I think a lot of people feel that way. UKIP are already bold about their views before we've even voted them in, imagine what they could be like if we give them power? No thanks. I wouldn't want to see my family or friends deported, and yes I do think they'd go that far.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
