What attitude, and acting like what? Please try to make sense.
Farage doesnt come across as someone who has an attitude problem, he is polite for one, unlike the people who came at him. Note that having policies you don't agree with is not a good definition of an attitude problem.
I take it you haven't seen him speak in the
EU Parliament then? He's like a petulant child, insulting and throwing personal insults at anyone he disagrees with. That's hardly statesman like behaviour.
In other UKIP news, one councillor lasted a whole 12 days before being forced to
resign over racist comments. This means the council will have to pay thousands for another election. Also the Sunday Mirror has discovered various other councillors making racist comments.
Nigel Farage’s UKIP party is still riddled with racism... despite his claim of a crackdown.
A Sunday Mirror investigation has discovered sickening rants on the Facebook pages of party officials.
Details of their vitriol emerged only days after Eric Kitson quit as a councillor in Stourbridge, Worcs, after we exposed his internet slurs against Muslims and Jews.
Last month Farage claimed “a huge amount of time and money” had been spent researching the backgrounds of council candidates.
He said: “Our membership is up nearly 50 per cent, and inevitably we are going to have one or two teething problems.”
But today we can reveal his members’ latest hate-fuelled postings.
Ukip’s leader of Lincs Council Chris Pain, the party’s East Midlands regional chairman, wrote: “Have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in ‘illegal immigrants’, and add just a few more letters, it spells, ‘Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking ********* and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-********, raghead ******** with you.’”
Mr Pain has also objected to foreign doctors working in the NHS.
Last May he posted a story about a Hungarian medic who bungled an operation on a four-year-old boy in Manchester, and wrote: “We don’t want them taking all the jobs in the local community and we certainly don’t want them working in our hospitals!”
Peter Entwistle, party chairman in Bury, Greater Manchester, labelled President Barack Obama a Muslim, writing: “I bet he’s a closet ‘Imam’ as well!
"If I ever see him on a Greyhound bus wearing a rucksack, I’m getting off!!”
The party’s deputy chairman in Scotland, Misty Thackeray, “liked” a Facebook group claiming “paedophilia is part of Islamic tradition”.
He also praised far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders, a self-confessed “hater of Islam”.
Recommending Mr Wilders’ new book, he said: “Geert is great ...(peace be upon him.. lol) ..!”
Meanwhile Tiggs Keywood-Wainwright, a Ukip councillor in Boston, Lincs, complained about mosques being built in “quintessentially English” Cambridge. “Is nowhere sacred for the Brits in Britain any more?” she wrote.
“Bottom line is we have too many muslims in this country!”
Mr Pain said the comments on his Facebook pages were “not my original posts or writings”, claiming his account had been hacked.
Mr Entwistle laughed when confronted about his President Obama bus comments, saying: “I don’t think I’d be the only one getting off.”
Mr Thackeray refused to comment on “this ridiculous nonsense”. He said Mr Wilders was a “legally, democratically-elected politician”.
Ms Keywood-Wainwright admitted she “probably” regretted some of her remarks.
She claimed she meant there were too many Muslims “in certain areas”, adding: “My GPs are all Muslims and I have no problem with them at all.
"One of them is extremely nice and very, very good at her job.”
Farage described demonstrators who besieged him in Edinburgh on Thursday as “fascist scum”.
He also slammed the phone down on a BBC interviewer questioning him about Scots issues.
