There, ladies and gentleman, the the reason UKIP are going nowhere fast.
To the younger members I say this. You are spot on and your feelings are more in tune with the general public. Yes the public see immigration as an issue, but they a more frightened at old men frothing at the mouth about the issue.
I had to put up with people gobbing in my face because of some to the leaflets UKIP put out. Don't worry I was told, we know what we are doing. Then we lost heavily again.
Since then the rhetoric has been turned up even more and was a major reason why I had to leave. I want a party that recognises immigration as an issue, but doesn't rant on like a bunch of nutters.

I also have had to put up with abuse and accusations of racism by association. I find it increasingly difficult to defend the party when they present me with evidence such as some of the posts made here and I don't know what I can do about that. It seems that some members have an intention of destroying this party's future which is a real shame. When will they realise that by going for the BNP vote, they are losing everyone elses? Let those who wish blame all of our problems on immigrants join the BNP and lets capture a more intelligent audience and move this party forward.
