The English Defence League has thrown its support behind the UK Independence Party, according to a message posted to their Facebook page, over their mutual stances on immigration and hatred of Islam.

Fascists, the lot of them:

Is there a management summary?

Interesting that 43% of those who would strongly consider voting UKIP don't think that Nigel Farrage talks a lot of sense.

No they're not. The EDL might endorse UKIP, but UKIP is opposed to the EDL.
Indeed if you try to join UKIP you will find you are prohibited from doing so if you have ever been a member of the EDL or other right-wing nationalist parties.

UKIP is a right-wing libertarian party, keen on protecting individuals' freedom from state control, not promoting that.

Kind of:

UKIP said in response that their rules explicitly exclude EDL activists from membership of UKIP. But they didn't say they didn't want votes from EDL sympathisers, nor have they said anything official on their website or Twitter account to distance themselves from the EDL endorsement.

Jesus Christ, only an absolute idiot would think that there as any reverse endorsement or connection above individual voting intention from UKIP to the EDL.

An absolute idiot I say. Screaming about something being there will not make it exist.

Hm, well, I'd find it somewhat worrying if my party of choice was officially endorsed by fascists like the EDL...
