According to today's FT, "Ms Harman will propose that mainstream parties should not share a platform with BNP candidates and that they should avoid campaigning on issues that stoke sentiment against foreigners."
"This is a ludicrous suggestion" said Nigel Farage, UKIP leader. "This is a European election for goodness sake and it is Europe which determines most of our immigration and asylum policy. If we can't talk about these policies when we're about to elect those who represent us in Europe when on earth can we?
"To get Labour, the Tories and the Lib Dems....or LibLabCon as they're sometimes known....all agreeing not to discuss such things simply reminds us of that old truth, that you can't put a cigarette paper between those parties.
"We do intend to discuss these issues. The only way to defeat the BNP is to talk about the issues that affect people. To shy away from difficult areas is to vacate the ground for the bigots and facists."

Of course they don't want to talk about these things, it would expose the 3 main parties for what they are, EU fanatics who want Britain ruled by a non elected Commission. Leaving MP's to swan around abusing their expenses, and being able to shrug their shoulders and say it them there EU guys who are to blame.
