'The biggest racism I've seen in British politics is happening north of the border'
UKIP leader Nigel Farage says the βbiggest racism I've seen in British politics is happening north of the border with the SNP".
Farage was responding to questions about racism within his own party, after 28% of UKIP supporters surveyed in a YouGov opinion poll said they had βracistβ views.
"Some of the anti-English hatred is reaching a truly astonishing levelβ said Farage.
βI would think that if the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ is worried about racism thatβs where they ought to be lookingβ he added.
The SNP have described Farageβs comments as "disgraceful".
