Ukip MP Douglas Carswell calls on his party to be 'inclusive' and stop making racist remarks about

immigrants.

Nigel Farage was at the centre of controversy last night after Ukip’s second most powerful politician said the party must stop making racist remarks about immigrants.

Douglas Carswell, Ukip’s first elected MP said: ‘Dislike of foreigners is not merely offensive, but absurd.’

Clacton MP Mr Carswell is the first senior Ukip politician to admit, in effect, that some of the party’s members are racist.

His comments will be seen by some as criticism of Mr Farage, who defended Ukip parliamentary candidate Kerry Smith after he was sacked earlier this month for referring to a ‘Chinky bird’ and ‘pooftahs’ in abusive and obscene phone calls.

Good luck with that UKIP. When your party is based on nativism it's mighty hard to keep the racists out.

1. UKIP are an obsessively anti-immigrant party

Their party literature focus's obsessively on immigration, and the party appeals primarily to Alf Garnett wannabe's who base their vote on who is going to kick immigrants the most. And what's more, it's those people who propelled Carswell to his recent by-election victory.

Once upon a time UKIP would say that they wanted to get out of the EU because of national sovereignty issues. Nowadays they will tell you that it's mainly so they can impose a harsh immigration policy.
