Gareth Bennett,Bluebird author, UKIP candidate and racist

Fri Mar 18, 2016 1:45 pm

Bennett is the main UKIP candidate on the list for the area which includes Cardiff. He's also author of three books on the Bluebirds. He has made comments blaming immigrants from the east of Europe for litter problems in the city. These are blatantly racist allegations, as littering is carried out by people from all backgrounds. As a fellow Bluebird I'm appalled that any of our fans should hold such views, but UKIP candidates have a long record of this....remember Bloom and his 'Bongo - bingo land' and Farage making a crazy claim that 29 million Romanians and Bulgarians were about to arrive in Britain? Maybe Bennett would be better off joining the English scrum, where racism seems to be condoned.

He's against mass immigration and so am I. That's our opinions, deal with it.

Maybe he referred to them as litter.....littering our streets....we should have stopped migration to the UK a long time back.....so many bring so little but take so much......my opinion and they get my vote.. :ayatollah: ...owww I'm not a racist just a realist....

Mass immigration, eh? So does that include stopping the 1.8 million Britons who have moved to other EU countries from going there?
Bennett is using typical Kipper tactics of scaremongering and it is pathetic.
Most of our communities in south Wales were actually built on immigration and today our Health Service, along with other sectors would collapse without the invaluable role played by recent immigrants.
Our problems are caused by a system which totally favours the rich and destroys the poor. Rich people like Farage and Hamilton whose hero is Thatcher.

Most Brit's don't live of the state they move to ,also what ukip are saying is that we should have controlled immigration ,anyone who doesn't think that we should control the people coming into are country must be an idiot !

Get real then, immigration makes more money for this country than costs and the large percentage immigrants here are more educated than the British nationals.

Although before you start firing comments at me like 'leftie', I agree the borders should definitely be tightened (but not closed). However, UKIP are a bunch of second rate politicians that consistently embarrass themselves voted for by even bigger idiots.

Out of interest, what books has he wrote about Cardiff City?

Re: Gareth Bennett,Bluebird author, UKIP candidate and racis

Fri Mar 18, 2016 7:01 pm

He looked a bit of a strange one on the BBC news earlier....

If the story is so toxic I never understand why the lefties get their knickers in such a twist.


UKIP have done their job, they are pretty insignificant now.

Most of the poison UKIP come out with is simply not in the remit of the Welsh Assembly .
Hatred towards anyone not born here is what UKIP seem good at .

Come June and the referendum results in a IN vote with leave them pretty redundant .

A posh boys BNP .

That's the main problem. Plenty of people don't know what they're voting for; what is actually devolved to Welsh Government; and how this links to the EU referendum.
