It's a simplistic and over used comparison, I know, though their (far) right-wing, nationalistic and xenophobic rhetoric ensures the comparisons validity. Even if you took all that with a pinch of salt, maybe it's the media misrepresenting them; the words straight from their mouths can't be misunderstood and suggest that there is indeed something fishy about Ukip. I'm sure, or rather I really hope, that like the graffiti artist responsible for these alterations, the majority of folk in Britain can see through their narrow minded little Britain of an imaginary period narrative (a mix of the Darling Buds of May, imperial colonialism and Dads army) and down the real path which Ukip policies would lead us. Or, maybe they can't; after all, xenophobia is very popular at the moment, it's this seasons black.
