Just look at the other thread on this subject. I've re-read the lyrics and they are not very poetic or intelligent, but I can't find anything racist in them. This seems to be an hysterical reaction from the p.c. brigade which has panicked a 'celeb' ( have heard of him, but that's all). It will now probably top the charts 'What fun!'.
It will certainly gain major downloads,pulling a record never hurt anyones sales ,Mike Read is a very wealthy man without this song.
I note he did write a Musical based on the life of Noel Coward that was also Pulled after the 1st night after critics panned the show and also only 2 tickets were sold for the 2nd night,in a Theatre that had 466 seats .

Not even George Osborne knows
When we’re in power and we engage
There will be no tax on minimum wage
Our leaders committed a cardinal sin
Open the borders let them all come in
Illegal immigrants in every town
Stand up and be counted Blair and Brown
Chorus:
Oh yes when we take charge
And the new Prime Minister is Farage
We can trade with the world again
When Nigel is at number 10
The British People have been let down
That’s why UKIP is making ground
From Crewe to Cleethorpes to Outer Hendon
They don’t believe Cameron’s referendum
Coalition could be a fact
With any party we could make a pact
Stop telling lies about us too
And we’ll stop telling the truth about you
[Chorus]
Though our pension scheme is in a mess
We need money for the NHS
With Jean-Claude Juncker we’re giving away
55 million every day
Oh what a farce, he won the vote
This is my favourite Juncker quote
He looked the reporters straight in the eyes
“When things get serious it’s time to lie”
[Chorus]
The EU live in wonderland
Tried to ban bent bananas and British jam
We don’t want jam the EU way
Jam yesterday, tomorrow and never today
The daily polls suggest somehow
UKIP are the third party now
In the Euro elections we were so immersed
We weren’t the third party, we were the first
[Chorus]
When the government’s sitting on the fence
UKIP policies make more sense
Get out of Europe, is our target
Common wealth and not common market
Other parties please take note
UKIP is not a protest vote
So mark your cross and by word of mouth
Tell them what to do in Thanet South
[chorus]
With the EU we must be on our mettle
They want to change our lawnmowers and our kettles
Our hairdryers, smartphones and vacuum cleaners
But UKIP is wise to their misdemeanours
Farage he likes his fags and beer
But there’s one thing I want to get clear
Now I like Nigel he’s a friend of mine
He appears on Dimbleby on Question Time
[chorus]
The other parties will count the costings
In Eastleigh, Thurrock and Bow they’re lost in
Labour and Tories shaking in their boots
When UKIP kick them up the grassroots
Meanwhile down on Clacton-on-Sea
UKIP are making history
Douglas Carswell is quite adamant
Will be the first MP in parliament
Not even George Osborne knows
When we’re in power and we engage
There will be no tax on minimum wage
Our leaders committed a cardinal sin
Open the borders let them all come in
Illegal immigrants in every town
Stand up and be counted Blair and Brown

Talking about 'calypso' anyone remember this?
http://
Don't remember any one claiming it was racist , but then it was in 1962!

I seem to remember that Mike Reid also did a Calypso song for the Tories a decade or so ago. I don't remeber that being pulled. Two questions therefore occur.
1. How long before the same theme and tune is in support of yet another political party?
2. How come Calypso Kippers are racist but Calypso Conservatives are not?
