Two members of the UKIP attend a protest organized by a far-right group.<\/p>\n
Two members of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) have attended a protest organized by a far-right group, raising more questions about UKIP\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s links to racsist groups.\n<\/p>\n
Vanessa Crichton, the chairman of Ukip\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s west London branch, and Cliff Dixon, chairman of the Hillingdon branch, attended an anti-European Union (EU) protest which was arranged by a far-right group called the British Patriots Society (BPS).\n<\/p>\n
The BPS, which was set up by a former member of UKIP Sara Roocroft, is known to have strong connections with the racist English Defence League (EDL).\n<\/p>\n
According to the reports, the BPS has posted messages online warning of a conflict with the Muslim community in retaliation for the London attack, in which British soldier Lee Rigby was beheaded by two assailants.\n<\/p>\n
Earlier in February, British Conservative cabinet minister Ken Clarke accused UKIP of being racist, saying that they have no positive policies and are merely “against” immigrants and foreigners.\n<\/p>\n
