Nigel Farage would axe 'much of' race discrimination laws

[Okeanos]

British parliamentary democracy and sovereignty survived hundreds of years of attempted invasions, we will defeat a paper bureaucracy. No doubt about it.

Okay, but in 10 years' time when nothing at all has changed and UKIP has disappeared off the political radar, remember that I told you so.

Sure thing.

You lot told us ten years ago we were going to join the Euro and it was inevitable. If it wasn't for Business for Sterling, Ukip, the Referendum Party and Tory and Labour backbenchers then we would have joined as the EU, main parties and media wanted us to. We've beaten you before and we'll do it again.

Absolutely bonkers, although I can't say i'm surprised about anything UKIP says or does at this point. I guess Farage and co would like to bring back the lovely discrimination that was rampant in the 50's and 60's.

Yeah... except that isn't what he advocates though is it.

You know very well he said that employers should be free to discriminate and pick British workers (of all colours) over foreign workers. Perfectly fair.

No, here's what he said.

Phillips asks: “In Ukip-land there would be no law against discrimination on the grounds of nationality. Would there be a law against discrimination on the grounds or race or colour?”
“No,” Nigel Farage responds.

Farage wants employers to be able to racially discriminate.

Because the act can be used for nationality rather than race, I personally would simply amend the act.

But you are confused. Abolishing or amending a law doesn't mean endorsing the potential consequences of doing so. I wouldn't want smoking made illegal for instance, yet do I endorse smoking? No, I think it is stupid. I didn't support going into Iraq... but did I endorse the Saddam Hussein Ba'ath regime? No. Do I believe drugs like cannabis should always be illegal? No, but I think you are stupid if you take any drugs like that. It's the same sort of warped argument I always get when I oppose any EU law that "oh you must support overfishing or chemicals in our food then" erm no, just there's other principles at stake/ways of doing things.

Until you can understand that difference, then don't bother replying. If you can, then sound.

Ah so he may not want racism he only wants to allow people the choice to be racist, I see.

Well no he's actually saying people should be allowed to discriminate in favour of British workers of all colours, which is quite anti-racist really.

Actions speak louder than words. Wanting to abolish anti-discrimination and anti-racism laws means he wants people to be able to freely discriminate when employing people. If that's what you and farage want then more for you, but I certainly don't want to have my job opportunities hampered due to the colour of my skin.

[...]

"Nigel Farage wants British jobs for Black and White British workers"
And the left-wing response to this is:
"Farage doesn't want British jobs to go to Asians"

Sums it up to a teet.

but I certainly don't want to have my job opportunities hampered due to the colour of my skin.

Ah, interesting. But it's okay to ruin the job opportunites and wage rates through your open EU mass immigration, isn't it?
