"Extreme right-wing UKIP" - BBC Turkish


DB has come across a tweet from the BBC's Turkish feed . It concerns UKIP:


DB is quite right about that. In every translation I've tried, the phrase "aşırı sağcı UKIP" means "extreme right-wing UKIP" ('aşırı' being the word that translates as 'extreme'). 

Why is the BBC telling its Turkish audience that UKIP is "extreme right-wing"?

  2. Power unto truth. Corrupted.
