It's all right for the middle classes, the MSPs; it's great for them to have cheap nannies and gardeners and cleaners. But it's not very lovely for the ordinary working class man trying to get on in the world who finds his job has gone and his wage being compressed because so many people are coming in. That's why you'll find most Ukip support comes from working class and lower middle class people – not that we believe in class in Ukip. Those people are feeling the pressure and have been let down by the traditional parties
