What exactly are the UKIP policies?

Do UKIP members remember the Referendum Party? Also led by a slightly strange person, James Goldsmith:

Ukip MEP calls for British Muslims to sign a special code of conduct



So much for Nigel Farage's crack-down on 'Walter Mitty' party members: Ukip MEP calls for British Muslims to sign a special code of conduct - UK Politics - UK - The Independent

A Ukip MEP was last night made to clarify his remarks after it emerged that he had called for British Muslims to sign a special code of conduct that would reject violence and “re-examine and address the meaning and application” of the Qur’an.


Gerard Batten, a member of the party’s executive council, told said yesterday that he stood by a five-written “charter of Muslim understanding”, written in 2006. He said he could not see why “any reasonable, normal person” would object to signing it.
Asked whether he still believed Muslims should sign the charter, Batten told The Guardian: “I don't suppose the pope would disagree with it or the archbishop of Canterbury or anybody else. So why should they feel aggrieved that they might be asked to sign.
“They don't have to. If they don't believe in those five points, they don't have to sign it.”

Kick out the darkies and cloth-heads, put the unemployed into the workhouse, abolish the BBC (giving the licence fee money instead to the Daily Mail), and making it illegal to buy anything other than British-made products.

Oops I was getting confused with the BNP.

But not all THAT confused.....

Yes, the MM seems to be going into overdrive with stories detailing the cranky outpourings of various UKIP apparatchiks.

Fair enough, but let's have a bit more on sleaze balls like Denis MacShane et al who are CONVICTED criminals and have defrauded the public purse while, all along, moralising to justify the swingeing taxes imposed by the party to which they belong.

There really should be a lot more anger about this, there really should.

A pointless exercise.
Any muslim who was also a terrorist would be happy to sign it, because to him, deceiving the enemy is a legitimate tactic of warfare.

So in this case you'll be happy to agree that a UKIP MEP is proposing to waste taxpayers' money?

On this issue - yes.

Most famously he referred to places that receive foreign aid as "bongo bongo land"

Very good point. The establishment cover up for their own. Did Chris Hume not walk out of jail straight into a high paying job with an energy firm? I guess criminal background check are not required when your one of 'Da boys'
