Nigel Farage would axe 'much of' race discrimination laws

[The Don]

“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.

However you spin it, Farage wants to allow racism and discrimination in the workplace.

No, you are spinning it as though he wants black people and brown people to be turned away from pubs and shops. Absurd and hysterical.

He's clearly said he'd scrap the current anti-discrimination laws such as the Racial Relations bill as those acts make discrimination on the grounds of nationality illegal. Polls show that the British public support discrimination based on nationality: just like Australia have it. Australians first.

A poll last month for Channel 5 found that 67 percent of respondents thought that employers should give priority to British people when recruiting for jobs. Just 20 percent of those asked thought that employers should not give priority to British people and 12 percent didn’t know.

Would you not agree with him also that racism is such a non-issue in this country that strict laws on racial discrimination are now redundant?

Institute for Economic Affairs Director-General backs Farage

Comment after comment on all the news sites are in support of Farage so this little media drama has failed.

And it's interesting how you haven't responded to my point on how British workers are having their job chances ruined by mass immigration.

In the video he even says he doesn't want to abolish the race relation laws, he just wants to relax the employment laws. I might not agree with everything the he and the party say's and do but I believe British people, as in people living in this country, regardless of race, religion, colour etc. should be favoured over people from overseas.

In Australia don't you need specific skills to actually become a citizen? We need something like that - Basically allowing the people needed such as doctor's and so on and only allowing others if they are needed e.g. the employer hasn't got enough british workers and needs extra.

To me what Farage in a sense is doing, is trying to remove the political correctness that ruins the country. I feel politicians are often too scared of their own shadow.

"We're not racist, we just want to let people discriminate based on race"



This comment chain made me laugh, it's so accurate.

"It's outrageous how the media keep misrepresenting Nigel Farage by broadcasting what he says."

"It's truly despicable how they quote him precisely. Incredibly misleading."

Interviewer: "So, in UKIP Land there would be no law against discrimination on the grounds of nationality. Would there be a law against discrimination upon the grounds of race or colour?"
Farage: "No... You know, we are colour blind. We as a party are colour blind"

"I really wish they'd stop reporting UKIPs insane policies and focus more on Nigel having a laugh with the lads in the pub."

Watch the video in my link, He clearly says that under ukip there would be no laws preventing discrimination on the grounds of race or colour. There's nothing 'pc' about rejecting job candidates on the basis of their skin, that's straight up racism.

Indeed, it's people like Akeam who can't debate properly and who show the racism card every 5 minutes who ruin and want to stifile discussion in this country.

A little story on what you've just written, my Aunty hired a Spanish student as a nanny for the children as she and my Uncle were working a lot. The Spanish nanny remarked to my Aunty that she couldn't believe how employers in this country wouldn't break the law and discriminate in favour of British workers over foreign workers as back in her native Spain she said that was exactly what Spanish employers did and that it was right that they did. I agree 100% with her as did my Aunty.
