Nigel Farage’s UKIP are widely regarded to have been the big winners of the recent local council elections around England and Wales. Their anti-Europe and anti-immigration stance is not, however, shared by all of the British populace, and there is a protest campaign to get British Sea Power’s Waving Flags into the charts.

The campaign Facebook page states:

The success and subsequent media coverage of UKIP this past week sends out the message, wrongly, that Britain is Little England…. closed, unwelcoming, distrusting of newcomers. It doesn’t help that politicians from other parties are falling over themselves to match UKIP’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.

So let us get the wonderful pro-Immigrant British Sea Power Song ‘Waving Flags’ into the chart again to counter this impression.
