Anti-UKIP protesters have invaded a pub in south London where party leader Nigel Farage was having lunch.

Mr Farage was in the Queen's Head in Downe with his wife and two younger children at the time.

Demonstrators first went to the George & Dragon, believing it to be Mr Farage's local, before they found him.

They said they chased the family out of the pub and jumped on the politician's car bonnet as he drove away. Mr Farage later branded them "scum".

Mr Farage, who is standing in Kent's Thanet South constituency in May's general election, said: "I hope these 'demonstrators' are proud of themselves. My children were so scared by their behaviour that they ran away to hide.

"... A relative has gone to look for them, and they are not yet at home. These people are scum."

Mr Farage's children aged 15 and 10 were understood to have later been found.

Protest organiser Dan Glass said the group was in fancy dress to stage "a cabaret of diversity" and included migrants, HIV activists, gay people, disabled people and breastfeeding mothers.

He said about 100 people took part, and added: "UKIP are a con. They pretend to be anti-establishment but this couldn't be further from the truth.

"By wrongfully shifting the blame for the economic crisis on to immigrants they have let the bankers off the hook."

He said that was why the "diverse communities" had taken their cultures to Mr Farage's local pub.

Staff at the Queen's Head refused to comment. The George & Dragon said protesters had initially claimed they were there for a birthday party.

Can't stand Farage but protesters like this annoy me more, in what way is this a legitimate protest. Wonder who will garner more sympathy; the baying mob aggressively attacking anyone they disagree with or the bloke who is taking his family down the local pub for a Sunday roast. Know who I'd rather have in my town

Bunch of morons. They're just going to make him look sympathetic.

Livia · 22-03-2015, 04:38 PM

Like MTVN, I'm not a fan of Farage, but this is disgusting.

smudgie · 22-03-2015, 04:40 PM

Scumbags.
They may not like his policies etc, but his family are off limits.
As said above, moronic behaviour.

Kizzy · 22-03-2015, 04:43 PM

Shocking! I know he's a twonk but this crosses a line

JoshBB · 22-03-2015, 05:05 PM

****ing idiots

i hate farage but this was bad for so many reasons:

1) let him enjoy a day out with his family
2) he is entitled to a private life
3) his family are not him
4) this will more than likely get him sympathy and possibly votes

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.

He didn't bank on that happening to him I bet.

Being serious of course they shouldn't go around attacking his family, but the protesters have a point when he lets Bankers off the hook for causing the recession.
