She said that her remarks had been "taken out of context"

Her remarks went like this ::::::"Ms Markle would "taint" the Royal Family, that she had a "tiny brain" and that black people were ugly"

Just what kind of context would those remarks have been acceptable then ?

Naomi....I am accusing Farage of nothing.

This woman should have been properly investigated at the time of her joining UKIP.

But instead of that, its present Leader has started up a relationship with a racist. So Bolton himself should be asked to explain whether it was a good idea in the first place.

What this issue shows, is the complete inability of UKIP to get things right. Once again, the Party is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Mikey, why mention Farage then? This has nothing to do with him.

As I said, other political parties, Labour in particular, have similar problems.... wouldn't you agree?
Question Author
Yes, of course other Parties have their problems, but UKIP has been mired in controversy of this sort for many years.

But they show that they have still not lanced the boil of racism amongst its ranks.
Mikey, if they are so inherently racist, how come the former leader is married to a foreigner, as is/was the current leader?
Name calling is easy. From all sorts of view positions it seems.

I notice that as yet, no one, has answered the question that I asked ::::::

"Just what kind of context would those remarks have been acceptable then ?"
I doubt anyone thinks racist comments are acceptable. The responses here are more around her actions not being worth our consideration.
Mikey, I think we all took the question as being rhetorical as the only logical answer in ‘none’.
Is not ‘in’.
Mikey, I'll answer it. I'm fed up with all the hissy fits thrown because someone has said something deemed objectionable. I couldn't really care less what anyone says and frankly I'd rather it be said openly and challenged than forced, by political correctness, to fester secretly.

Funny really how the extent of the hissy fit depends upon the speaker. Prince Phillip can make the most outrageous of comments, for example - and everyone smiles indulgently - and that's not because of his age. He's been doing it all his life.
Geez oh, prince Philip has entered the discussion now by Naomi . . lol
anneasquith, and your objection is what exactly? If it's that I posted it you've proven the point I was making, so thank you for that.
Looking at the email conversation, I can’t see how her remarks were taken out of context. They were completely within context.

The sad fact is that for some people’s Ms Markle will never be acceptable to them. Meghan’s problem (in their eyes) is that she is both biracial, and American. She is unable to change these facts, so winning these people over it’s going to be a hell of a difficult job.

By the way, I don’t think there is any way for UKIP to weed out every racist in the party. All they can do is ban people who have been members of a far right parties. They already have that policy in place.
Sidebar - according to the article, Henry Bolton is the fifth UKIP leader in a span of only 18 months.

That floored me.

I had no idea that the turnover was that large. Apart from Paul Nuttall, I couldn’t name any others.

Strange the BBC reporting on a news story originally exposed by the so called Racist, Right-wing, false news rag The Sunday Wail.
Some only held the reins in an acting role though. Not that some of the rest lasted long anyway.
Question Author
OG...its unlikely that the present Leader will last very long....what are the chances on Farage becoming Leader for a 4th time !
"I notice that as yet, no one, has answered the question that I asked ::::::"

They may just be waiting for an update on Japgate. :-)
