'The acronym ANTI comes from four defining characteristics. First they are ‘Angry’ about the political system. They are tired of broken promises and political parties ready to surrender solemn pledges as soon as they are in office.
Last year’s expenses crisis wasn’t the beginning of their disdain for MPs, but it did confirm their low view of parliament and politics.
Secondly, they feel ‘Neglected’ financially, and because of this are much more pessimistic about their future than the average Briton.
They are the pound-stretching class. They have to watch every penny. They worry about keeping their jobs. They resent their taxes going to undeserving causes or being used to bail out Ireland and rich bankers.
The third characteristic of the ANTI voter is ‘Traditionalism’. They hold traditional views about crime, drugs, family values and national pride. They worry their country is changing too fast and not for the better.
Finally, and most importantly, the ANTI voter is opposed to large-scale ‘Immigration’.
The worry about immigration isn’t about race, except for a small minority. It is about pressure on the housing stock. It’s about competition for scarce jobs.
It’s about children trying to learn in schools where English isn’t the first language for many of the class.
When questioned, 89 per cent of these ANTIs said they would be more likely to vote for a party that promised to be tougher on immigration; 85 per cent said they would be more likely to vote for a party that promised to take back powers from Europe; 81 per cent said they would be more likely to vote for a party that promised to crack down on crime.
Moreover, 94 per cent of BNP voters and 91 per cent of UKIP voters agreed with the statement that ‘Britain is no longer a fair country that rewards its people based on merit’.'

ANTI has not only been reported in the Daily Mail but is driven by them.
I've come to realise that its whole raison d'etre is to alienate people, put the fear of god into them about the state of the world, rouse anger and then offer up a scapegoat.
Current scapegoats include; 'Benefit Scroungers' - in all honesty they probably number in the high hundred, not millions.
'Immigrants' - well some of them look different and follow a different god.
'Speed cameras' - they can't descriminate between tax payers and scroungers
'NICE' - This is just purely ignorance. Jounalists shouldn't write about things they don't really understand, especially when it comes to health matters. they can do more harm than good.
The list goes on...
