According to this & an article in the Daily Mail, they got a poll boost out of last night's performance, with allegedly thousands of people applying to join. Given what was said, I certainly can't see any way this could be about the fear of immigration.
That isn't good. But i wouldn't worry. Whilst they may have gained thousands of new members, the many thousands of people that were indifferent before but now hate them will go uncounted. In other words if they have had 3000 requests to join im sure there also have 10 times that amount that now hate them. Its just that new members are quantifiable whlist new haters aren't.
