How can so many agree with such xenophobia?

Today finds me very concerned indeed. Last night we saw nick clegg absolutely trounce Nigel Farage: cleggs arguments were more sound, more logical; the statistics he produced were not plucked from thin air, like farage’s. Yet according to the polls, as much as 68% say Farage won. Of course, that poll would have been made up of those motivated to watch the debate, those interested in such matters. I’m sure most sensible people would have ignored it, distaining Farage as the lying xenophobe he proved himself to be last night. Yet it remains that most people who watched were taken in by the nonsense he was spewing, and that,, to a guy who loves multicultural society and who has wit enough to see what this man has to say as the anachronistic nonsense it is, is very worrying indeed.
