UKIP would axe "much of" law that prevents racial discrimination in work place

UKIP really want to make it hard for anybody to argue against anybody who claims they're an explicitly racist party.

I can't understand this, this is political absurdity? What possible good reason would there be for reintroducing race discrimination to the United Kingdom's workplaces? Is it even worth the sort of votes this will attract?

Misleading OP:

Mr Farage told the BBC his remarks, recorded last autumn, had been "wilfully misinterpreted", saying he was talking about nationality not race.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme he said he was making the point that employers should be able to discriminate in favour of British workers.
"I didn't mention race at all. There was no part of that interview which I ever said it at all.

I guess we can close this thread now.

You sound like you're surprised! UKIP are full of loons, but unlike the Conservatives don't have the PR know-how to keep them from opening their big dumb mouths.

Regardless of that statement, Farage has said he would remove legislation that prevents racial discrimination in the work place, the thread is accurate.

So what is the prime race in UKIP? You cannot be racist if you don't believe in a superior race first.

[Boyar Son]

Good.

[mongrel]

Good.

You , and indeed UKIP, have not thought this through, have you . Abolishing the Equality Act would allow big business to ignore British citizens altogether and recruit direct from Poland etc. Unless of course that is what you meant.

They certainly beleive in a superior nationality.

White, western European natives I would guess.

You said the E-word!

I assume that does not include Germanic groups then.

Who decides who they hire? Me? Government?

did you hear Hamilton's interview on Five Live? it was like something from Bird and Fortune.

[Admiral Piett]

Why couldn't they just stick with their economic platform? They were having a decent run as party growing in popularity but these social views are more laughable than the Tea Party.

Here's hoping that UKIP continue to destroy themselves More of the same please Nigel.

Well considering the English are a partially Germanic group, if not be lineage at least by language and culture it would be kind of hypocritical to not include them, but what do I know.

As much as I dislike the UKIP policies, I cannot help but like Farage. Passionate, charismatic and all the rest. Could use someone like him in a better party.

No? Do you have any link?

There are a very finite amount of hardcore racists, but perhaps enough to bump him up a couple of % in the polls if he attracts them all.

Employers do within certian legal limits. Given what I have said it is fairly obvious why those limits are applied. You can't have whole sections of society denied the opportunity of work, or indeed everyone if business were so minded to replace us all with East Europeans. I am surprised you don't find that self-evident.

A fact: Farge employs his German wife as his secretary over a British one.

I see your point and why you disagree with Farage on this, but I simply stand by my point that companies should hire who they want to work for them. It might be nepotism, it might not be. But it isn't my place to decide who works where.

If there are a shortage of jobs then that simply means the company doesn't need that many employees, they cannot afford them, OR there is an opportunity for those with the courage, to employ these out of work men and women by creating a certain business. This is a whole 'nother post so I'll just leave it at that.

I see no point in trying to convince each other, as we threw our most basic arguments at each other and still disagreed. So I'll just keep observing the thread.

Anyone who recalls the Bristol Omnibus Company colour bar, imposed by racist trade unionists* will know exactly why the general public should be concerned when employers adopt racist practices .

* There was a labour shortage at the time , and black bus drivers and conductors were ubiquitous elsewhere.

I don't think it's Germans (or French, Dutch, Scandas) that UKIP and Farage are concerned about.
