If we agreed a pact with UKIP, we would own their pain - and
their problems  By Paul Goodman Follow Paul on Twitter  A UKIP-
related story has made a splash this morning.  Here's another
that can easily be imagined on the front page of the Guardian or
the Independent, before being highlighted the whole day long on
the BBC, from Today to Newsnight.  Maggie Chapman, a UKIP
election agent, has tweeted what supporters might call light-
hearted observations, and opponents - plus a very large number
of people who are neither - would call racist jokes. 
"EastEnders is just so unrealistic," one of them reads.  "A Paki
family planning to actually go home."  There are more, including
one playing on the verbal similarity beween Shiite - as in
Shiite Muslims - and the swear word for excrement.  My point is
not that UKIP is a racist party.
