Not quite.

This type of things happens to politicians all over the world, and as much has we all agree its not a nice thing to do, its the kind of thing Farage can expect from now on. Welcome to the limelight Mr Farage you are now truly in the spotlight.

Not really, politicians shouldn't expect to come under attack when out with their wife and kids. When was the last time this happened to a British politician?

When was the last time a party as openly foul as UKIP were anything more than a minor annoyance in UK politics?

You are right they should not expect this but people have the right to protest when and where they want. As I pointed out politicians all over the globe have to deal with similar protests. Did you laugh or did you have a similar view when George W Bush had a protestors shoes thrown at him. I laughed and I bet you did too. If Mr Farage doesn't like it then he can always get out of politics.

People have a right to PEACEFUL protest. People also have a right to enjoy time with their family away from work. You can attack me all you want if I'm at work (a la Bush) but don't ever confuse private and public lives.

There is a huge difference in one man throwing shoes at a politician who is at work and a mob accosting a man out for a quiet lunch with his family. If I had been there, I swear to God I would be in a cell now and a few of the ugly misfits would have teeth missing.

Mob law is no law.
