Nigel Farage: We must defend Christian heritage
Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | 10:00PM GMT 01 Nov 2013 | Cristina Odone

An Audience With … Nigel Farage features a stage with only a table, a chair, and a bottle of wine as props. Farage thinks it will give him a chance to “explain who I am” and, crucially, to “reach a new audience”. …

“We need a much more muscular defense of our Judeo-Christian heritage. Yes, we’re open to different cultures, but we have to defend our values. That’s the message I want to hear from the Archbishop of Canterbury and from our politicians. Anything less is appeasement of the worst kind.” Yet he speaks not as a defender of the faith—he ventures to church only four or five times a year—but of “our identity”. …

His list of those who will have no place in a UKIP Britain also includes Muslims who speak no English and wear the veil. …

“We have,” he says, “some very mixed values”. These include the “betrayal” of the family. “This has been the most anti-family government we have ever seen. The very fact that they pushed for gay marriage, and thought that it was important at a time when not even Stonewall was campaigning for it, shows you their twisted sense of priorities.” He is “100 percent” supportive of stay-at-home mothers. …

Cristina Odone seems like a sniveling liberal twit.

I don’t like the tone of this article.

Farage has steered clear of such topics in the past. Perhaps he senses good things ahead?

Nor do I. Must be one of the “new Tories” that supported the big gay marriage push. Can’t call the paper the “Torygraph” any more with a tone like that . . .

Hey, when the military is defining Christians as a terrorist group in their training manuals, we have lost. Seems that both Christians and whites are done...

Unfortunately with enough negative training this will become the facts. Only takes time you know...

Christina Odone is a well known Catholic Conservative (American born, she is the daughter/brother of the family that inspired ‘Lorenzo’s Oil). A lot of British Tories are quite hostile to Ukip because they know they have no chance of winning a general election, but are influential enough to siphon off Tory votes and allow Labour to get back in. Letting ‘Red Ed’, a self confessed socialist in to power is a high price to pay for ideological purity.

UKIP picks up Labour voters too, who are hardest hit by mass immigration.

My dream is that Nigel Farage gets elected PM of the UK.

It’s the Tories’ ideological impurity that would allow Labour back in, not UKIP.
