      Farage voters like him because he’s racist.

      That’s why his weak and pathetic excuses work. They want to be told it’s OK to be racist.

      That’s why they get so cross at people who call them racist as a criticism. That threatens their whole thing. If they don’t get away with the racism they lose all their power and influence.
