Ukip councillor: immigration ‘overload’ has made UK racist.
It's the gift that keeps giving.
"The Ukip leadership has moved to distance the party from remarks by one of its councillors claiming an “overload” of immigrants had turned Britain into a racist country.
Trevor Shonk, who represents Ukip on Kent county council and Ramsgate town council, blamed Labour and the Conservatives for allowing in more immigrants than the country could cope with.
“The two main parties that have been running this country have made the country racist because of the influx that we have had,” he told BBC Radio 4’s The World at One."

That too. Austerity would have been bad enough with the population we already had, without adding more and more economic migrants of all types to our numbers, whether they be black, white, yellow or purple.

I don't like the green ones though. there's something not right about them. they need looking at.

Re: Ukip councillor: immigration ‘overload’ has made UK racist.
If we can't have a system which only allows the ones we really want and need (points system, Australian style), then we must at lest be better at filtering out the complete undesirables, and not letting them slip through the net until they can scream "Human rights" because they now have a family.
It would, of course, be fair if we faced similar rules from other countries - in fact, it's a far more sensible solution than the current EU insanity!
The EU is too broken to fix, and will never give us back enough sovereignty - if our leaders ever have the backbone to stand up for the "red lines", then we will have to leave the EU.

Well I have no issues with immigration..I just hate the way we lose those who are the best of our citizens to emigration..

The Ukip leadership distanced itself from his comments. Suzanne Evans, the party’s deputy chairwoman, denied that the UK was a racist place.
“I think Britain is actually a very accommodating country and I don’t think by any stretch of the imagination can be termed racist,” she said.

So what, I'm telling you what I think.
The influx of immigrants, I believe, has changed people's attitudes for the worse.
May not have made them "racist" as that is a very strong word, but I would say more intolerant.
Which is why he has a point.

Re: Ukip councillor: immigration ‘overload’ has made UK racist.
I would agree with you that a section of society feel that way - it is reflected in this forum.
