Yes but you missed my point, I'm not saying I accept 50 plussers to be like that but can

but I give them a little more benefit of the doubt due to the fact they grew up in a time where ukip values were more widely accepted and relevant. If you dig deep into the ethos of the ukip party, it pretty much boils down to one main ideology, which is 'change sucks' they hate change to britain, they want a Britain from 1955 with cobbold streets and bakerys called Jones and son and a local green grocers that picks you out some nice plums for afters. They call it the identity of Britain but what they fail to understand is, being British is all about advancement, all about change which is why we have for a very long time been a country who has been at the forefront of progression. Sometimes that progression has been done in ways that have been extremely unsavoury but that's history. I love being British and proud of it, I'm proud of our history even the ugly parts, we are who we are and I wouldn't want to be any other nationality.
