No, it's more that. I disagreed with Tories about lots of things two years ago, but outright racism is new since UKIP.

I moved to UK in 2006 I've been following UKIP since then. That's 10 years and counting!

Right, but for most of that time they were a hideous joke, like the BNP and the NF. Not any more.

I don't actually disagree but I think they have been obviously heading this way for years

I don't think they have been ok and not overtly racist just more careful with it, still overt though just less power

It may have always been there under the surface; but surfacing it has had catrstrophic impact on public atmosphere.

you are just seeing it now. But to us white people seeing it for first time is painful. We have been telling you.
