dear united kingdom,

hi.

disclosure: all my information about ukip comes from a comedian*

(*except for all the shit i've spent the last week researching)

you guys know what ukip is doing? they're slobbering on a copy of the karl rove playbook. the difference is that karl rove had five thousand square miles of exploitable religious bumpkins to bank votes with. ukip's been forced to default to racism because there's literally no other problem with which to divide the uk population that won't just result in a speedy legal solution, no ukips required.

the goal is to over-radicalize their base in order to compel as many of them to the polls as possible. the idea is to play the percents. it's probably not going to work as well as they'd like because another part of the karl rove election strategy is to count on seventy percent of the electorate voluntarily disenfranchising themselves, and while that's been historically true of the american electorate, uk voter turnout generally runs significantly higher.

and regret to inform, but you're already in for about twenty years of race relations issues because of this. if i were you, i would nip these guys in the bud because they will continue to mess up your country (and probably a couple of the countries near you). why do you think you keep seeing daily fail headlines like "americans refuse to breathe because they think the 'x' in the word 'oxygen' looks like devil horns"? the karl rove election strategy fucked our country all up socially, and we may not be able to keep all our pluribuses unum in the aftermath.

also, you realize that germany and a bunch of other countries are (probably) going to start pulling out of trade deals with you if ukip gains any real political traction. nobody in europe is going to do business with Potential Hitler. just sayin'.

if you don't want to go back into civil warfare, you need to keep the ukips away from your government.  seriously, just for pragmatism's sake, because your little flerp of islands right there is nowhere near big enough to keep you guys from having to fight over it.  like i said... the game is rigged for five thousand square miles of cornfields and ignorance that you no has.

these guys are "don't even wrap your fish in it" bad news.

if you can't see the video because of country restrictions, i apologize for not being able to transfer my right to watch american public broadcasting onto you.  this video deals with how karl rove got george bush elected governor of texas in the eighties using the "divide and conquer" strategy with tort reform ("judicial activism").  he used the same strategy to get w. elected president using religion as the dividing point, and the ukips are doing the exact same thing with race and immigration.
