However, the rhetoric the party uses encourages and legitimises racist behaviour like my friend experienced. <br /><br />You also have to ask why those two men seemed to think voting UKIP was a way to get rid of native born British citizens of South Asian heritage like my friend. That's clearly not UKIP party policy, but the anti foreigner rhetoric the party uses obviously gives that impression to some people. <br /><br />My view is that Mr Farage doesn't bother to correct such impressions because they may bring BNP/EDL inclined voters to UKIP and if that means more votes, he isn't concerned about the impact of it on other people.
