'The biggest racism I've seen in British politics is happening north of the border'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

UKIP leader Nigel Farage says the “biggest racism I've seen in British politics is happening north of the border with the SNP". Farage was responding to questions about racism within his own party, after 28% of UKIP supporters surveyed in a YouGov opinion poll said they had “racist” views. "Some of the anti-English hatred is reaching a truly astonishing level” said Farage. “I would think that if the BBC is worried about racism that’s where they ought to be looking” he added. The SNP have described Farage’s comments as "disgraceful". This clip is from 5 live Drive 28 April 2015.
