Rather bizarre few minutes on BBC Daily Politics…Amjad Bashir, UKIP’s spokesman on Small Business (a Yorkshireman with a Pakistani background) being assured by Jo Coburn and two other white people that Tory Grandee Lord Heseltine was right in saying there was a substantial “racist” element within his party. Mr Bashir pointed out that he, unlike Heseltine and the three of them, had experienced being the target of racism but never in UKIP. Indeed he had been warmly received when he spoke at UKIP’s recent conference and was on the party’s short list of potential MEPs.
You could see the patronising look in their eyes……they had already filed him under “Uncle Tom”
After all a bunch of white middle class media pundits always know better…
