Clean EUkip up NOW make UKIP electable!

Hi,
The report by Matthew Goodwin and Professor Jocelyn Evans, ‘From voting to violence?
Far right extremism in Britain,’ is available to read in full CLICK HERE.
The report was launched at an event hosted by Chatham House on 08-Mar-2012 CLICK HERE
Although Prof. Goodwin is reported to have said:
‘Ukip supporters had been included as a “control group” for comparison with far-right organisations as it was to the right of the Conservatives’. “Ukip is not an extreme or violent organisation but it is useful to see what its supporters think in comparison to supporters of other groups,”
Which rather contradicts his own executive summary on some parts!
Below is an executive summary of the findings on The BNP & UKIP relative to Muslims, a more colourful rather light weight report on The BNP can also be viewed if you CLICK HERE :
The report points to attitudes among the memberships of the BNP and UK Independence Party towards Muslims finding that “large majorities of both BNP and UKIP supporters appear absolutely convinced that Islam poses a serious danger to the West.”
On attitudes in the BNP towards violence the report concludes that there is“clear evidence of an inner core of activists who are both expecting, and endorse, violence.”
From the report’s executive summary:
“While BNP and UKIP supporters in our sample exhibit distinct profiles, they are driven by a similar set of concerns. Foremost, BNP and UKIP supporters are concerned about immigration. Despite a global financial crisis and economic stagnation, in their eyes immigration is the most important issue facing Britain. Following their second issue of concern (the economy), both groups identifyMuslims in British society as the third most important issue facing the country (an option that is not routinely given in standard surveys).
“Both groups also express high levels of anxiety over Islam, and its religious institutions. Both BNP and UKIP supporters would feel bothered by the presence of a mosque in their local community, but again to a much higher degree amongst BNP supporters. Such views appear to stem from the way in which large majorities of both the BNP and UKIP supporters view Islam as a serious danger to the West. Over three quarters
of BNP supporters and almost two thirds of UKIP supporters strongly disagree that Islam does not pose a threat to the West. In fact, less than one out of every ten BNP and UKIP supporter in our sample endorsed the suggestion that Islam does not pose a serious danger to the West. In short, large majorities of both BNP and UKIP supporters appear absolutely convinced that Islam poses a serious danger to the West.
“A key difference between supporters of the extreme and radical right-wing is theintensity of their feelings about immigration and Islam. BNP supporters in our sample are overwhelmingly concerned about immigration and Muslims, and almost to the exclusion of other issues.
“Large numbers of BNP and UKIP supporters in our sample endorse the view that violence between different ethnic, racial and religious groups in Britain is largely inevitable, but with much stronger agreement amongst the BNP group.
“Beyond preparing for conflict, we also find evidence of support within the BNP sample for armed conflict, when defending the British way of life, with twice as many BNP supporters as UKIP endorsing this as always or sometimes justifiable. Similarly, twice the proportion of BNP supporters than their UKIP counterparts in our sample agreed violence may be needed to protect their group from threats.
“Within the BNP group, there is clear evidence of an inner core of activists who are both expecting, and endorse, violence. By disaggregating supporters into five distinct types, from core to periphery, those at the core of the BNP are far more likely than the more peripheral party’s supporters to expect and endorse violence.
“While we cannot compare these findings with a sample of the national population, they suggest that large majorities of the BNP and UKIP supporters in our sample are expecting relations between different groups to deteriorate into violence. BNP supporters are most likely to consider the strategy of preparing for group conflict justifiable with almost half the sample of BNP supporters considering this always or sometimes justifiable, compared to less than a third of UKIP supporters. Much greater endorsement of violence never being justifiable is evident amongst UKIP supporters.”
You will of course be aware from postings and his public performances that though Gerard Batten is associated with, what many consider to be extremist white supremacist groups, he has published anti Islamic material that would seem to encourage racial hatred based upon his own superstitions and his antipathy for Islam – a position, it is reasonable to speculate, that may well be influenced by his Filipino wife who having been brought up in a Country of extremist support on both sides of the religious divide be that the catholicism of Cardinal Sin or that of muslim fundamentalism.
Those interested in, what I consider to be highly divisive and splenetic views, as promoted by Gerard Batten and his dubious associates may be interested in his odious propositions on the issue backed seemingly by his superstitions of ‘My God is better than your God’ standards of behaviour to prop up one superstition versus another – We can consider the forthright opinions of UKIP’s leadership in more detail but for Gerard Batten’s grubby little musings CLICK HERE & his difficulties with The Courts are alluded to HERE though I have recently been unofficially informed that he has obtained some kind of gag order to suppress the facts and it is not permitted to discuss what happened INSIDE any of his various Court appearances and machinations! (Good job I didn’t then! Though how anyone would know when it is a matter of open discussion in The EU?)
It will be noted that UKIP condoned by their inactivity and continued associations the support of the vile racist extremist Anders Breivik CLICK HERE. It would seem however that UKIP’s inclusion in this odious group of EU extremists has more to do with the personal enrichment of a small clique than any kind of political expedience and in UKIP it would clearly not be a moral, ethical or intellectual stance of any patriotic gravitas!
