Reply to: People vote UKIP because they cannot send emails

May I suggest that this might also have something to do with it?

I think the link is too small and fiddly for them to click on.

She suggested the "educated, cultured and young" in the capital were less likely to vote for Ukip

Because they are less likely to be racist or sexist.

Even the Ukip admit it, up to a point:

A Ukip councillor has blamed London's "more media-savvy and educated" population for the party's lack of success in the capital as local election results indicate an emerging geographical split in the party's popularity.

...

Suzanne Evans, a former Tory Merton councillor who defected to Ukip but lost her seat, told the BBC: "[In London, voters] are more likely, I think, to have read some of the negative press that's been about us, and I think they'd be more likely to believe it, whereas people outside of London have, I think, been fairly cynical about the media campaign and the campaign that the other parties have waged against us."

She suggested the "educated, cultured and young" in the capital were less likely to vote for Ukip, and claimed the party was unlike the "metropolitan elite" in being able to understand the "heartache" felt by the rest of England.

In other words, ah **** it, I can't be bothered...work it out for yourselves

School admissions: 4,000 pupils left with no primary place - Telegraph

Anyone who complains about this is dumb.

Anyone who thinks this is due to uncontrolled immigration is a dumb racist.

Says who?

What makes the liberal left 'elite'?

Qualification depends on how many servants you have?

That Facebook page has some real racism but it is the elite liberal left, rather then the right, who foment it with their total contempt for real concerns.

Well there you go - they CAN use the internet but have no idea about HOW to use it. A similar level of tech-savvy to elderly relatives.

Holy crap!!! eek

That isn't really a page from the UKIP facebook is it??!?! It looks more like something from the EDL or BNP!!! Gotta so I am truly shocked at that. Not just at what they are saying but the fact they are willing to say it on Facebook where their friends and family can see it. I can see why UKIP get a bad name but surely UKIP are not all about this? I can see why people are willing to slate of the UKIP voters and why when I joke about voting for them my friends are horrified. Genuinely surprised at that.

Apparently, it's the elite liberal left's fault that they're such *****. I thought people on the right were for taking personal responsibility for actions, not for blaming society.

They are Internet savvy, just look at the Ukip Facebook page

Anyway, the fact a few well-edicated IT contractors vote UKIP neither validates nor invalidates the claim that in general UKIP voters are self-interested dumb racists.

You did that on purpose did you you little tinker!

[d000hg]

I always thought many UKIP supporters were just doing the protest vote about a topic they feel strongly know nothing about.

Andrew Marr introduced him as "one of Ed Miliband's strongest supporters". So obviously that's code for "first in line to stab his friend in the back".

Condsidering he thought it was fair game to stab his own brother in the back, he really deserves a night of the long knives
