Damm, UK politics sure sound relaxing compared to ours.

We don't care about our country as much and most.

The UKIP manifesto was released earlier and its got some decent stuff on it.

Reducing net migration to zero within five years
A ban on the wearing of face coverings in public places
An extra £11bn every year for the NHS and social care by 2022
A rise in the threshold for paying income tax to £13,500
A cut in taxes for middle earners
Cut VAT on household bills
Axe tuition fees for science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine
Provide up to 100,000 new homes for younger people every year
Maintain the triple lock on pensions which sees them rise by rise by the higher of prices, average earnings or 2.5%

I can see it appealing to a few people.

So if a couple thousand foreign professionals from all over the world (Chad, Oman, Sweden, Guatemala, etc.), with all of their papers in order and primed to contribute to the British economy, tried to immigrate, you couldn't do that without a couple thousand people leaving? How would that work? Voluntarily?
By lottery? By skin color? Recency in the country?

It's a dog whistle. Potential UKIP voters see that, think "good, no more Indians/Somalis/Turks/whatever". But if you wrap such ideas in other domestic policies that mirror liberal positions, you don't seem so harmful. I'll give it to UKIP, they position themselves well. Fortunately for the Brits, UKIP's candidates reveal their true (disgust for) colors too often.

They have no chance of getting a single MP so it's utterly irrelevant. There is a time and a place for UKIP and it's not now.

Not to mention anything supported by a BLM member has to be fallacy

The media perpetuated their pro eu narrative just as much as the leavers promoted their anti eu narrative (why else was it said that Brexit didn't have a chance) by the mainstream

The guy speaking doesn't seem to realise how big of a task leaving the EU is, it wont happen this early as the majority of leave voters understand, not to mention we haven't even left the EU yet in the first place

Last time I checked it was May 2017, not March 2019

Pretty much agree with the above.

I'll add that if you voted to leave based on things like "more funding for..." then you can't really complain about those things not happening because we haven't even left yet. I'm not saying those things will happen and I'm personally not interested in whatever wealth distribution schemes were used by either side, I voted because I didn't want to be part of the Union.
