Here's the same story from the Northern Echo.
Notice how Ross Kemp,husband of the Editor of The World,makes another appearance.
Football Clubs Lend Their Support To Keep Out Bnp (from The Northern Echo)

Thanks for that link. It says:

Surely everyone already knows that the BNP leadership are Holocaust deniers?

That's why it is of key importance that a new anti-immigration pro-British right-wing party should emerge that is not tainted by such things.

UKIP is moving in the right direction, but it needs vision to transform it from a one-issue party to a great national patriotic movement.

ANGLO-STAFFS

Moving in the right direction? Yes.
But it need to stop pretending it is a UK party and build on its ENGLISH roots. Any following it does have is in England.

I expect the UKIP results in Wales to be very poor.
If there are any over 8% they will be very good, but very few.

But good luck to UKIP and all other English Party candidates.

Just so long as it includes the Afro – English, Indian – English, Chinese – English, and so on.

Anything less would be racist, disgusting, and WRONG.

Calm down Bear, don't get your fleas jumping.
I meant English in a geographic as opposed to racial or mixed racial sense.

But even if they were welcomed to join, I do not know how strong non Ethnic-English support would be for an English independence party.

In some Independence circles it is mooted that if 'Britain' is broken then 'British' responsibilities to the ex Empire are broken.
I have also heard this from some Asian friends, or rather from older members of their families who were not born here. They argue that they can become ‘British’ because Britain is an invented country whereas England is a nation.

Bear,just for the record,UKIP already has members and supporters from all those countries you mention,as well as some others.

After all bear,it was you who said the English were mongrels.

Mikeuk

One of many reasons why I would never support the BNP is their exclusion of non-whites from membership.

Membership of a patriotic movement should be open, not only to British citizens of all colours and creeds, but also to foreigners who share our ideals.

But why should any of this concern you, Bear?

You're in favour of an 'inevitable' united Europe.

Englishdan

there are many ethnic members in the EDP. My concern with UKIP is its title. When Scotland are rushing away from the UK at a rate of knots, what will The UK in UKIP be left to represent

Hartlepool

The "UK" in UKIP, represents, "The United Kingdom of Great Britain,Northern Ireland and Wales",this includes England,NI,Scotland and Wales.
