You know those idiot protesters that harassed and intimidated Farage and his family in the pub recently? Well Britain First decided to show them it wasn't on by, erm, harassing and intimidating them.
What a bunch of tossers on both sides.

Sticking this on the end of their little video is especially unpleasant though

"Left wing traitors be warned. Patriots will not be intimidated any more. If you want to harass patriots, we will fight back with all means at our disposal."

At what point does heckling, or just disagreeing vocally, become harassment for these people? Pretty early on I would think.

ETA: having just read Britain First's "policies" webpage (will now have to scour shamefully the hard drive) I'm now less surprised by that video. Bunch of ultra right wing thuggish thickos.

This is unfortunately where this sort of stuff leads, down this road lies anarchy and intolerance.

The Police should jump on both sets and throw the book at them, if not how long before we see Political violence on the scale we see in some countries in Europe?
Quite right. I'm sure Farage does not want anything to do with these people.

problem is the Police seem unwilling to step in when UKIP get targeted, this then just encourages the others to step in.

UKIP and Farage have made it quite clear they don't want to be associated with Britain First - even the Huff Post reports it's unwanted attention:

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/10/29/britain...

The same goes for the EDL http://news.stv.tv/north/229874-ukip-leader-nigel-...

These intolerant aggressive individuals and their unpleasant behaviour are not wanted by UKIP. Unfortunately there seems to be no evidence that Cameron/conservatives, Milliband/Labour and Clegg/Libs have any problem with the equally unpleasant behaviour of the groups who try to intimidate/assault Farage and threaten/vandalise UKIP members and property.

So whilst you can be quite sure Farage doesn't support this behaviour, the other main political parties are effectively endorsing it by failure to speak out.

this is possibly the most important election for 50 years, yet all we have is trivia and cheap smears.

FFS there is serious st going on both at home and overseas, between ISIS and Russia, Iran, the deficit, the EU expansion and militarisation, etc etc.

yet the loons are out in force going on about Gays, HIV, Breast feeding, etc etc.

It's a sure sign of the level of debate and hatred of what Farage/UKIP stand for... or maybe just a bit of childish fun!

Farage says he'll restrict immigration. So does Cameron and Milliband. Only Farage gets called racist for doing so - why? Because we know the others won't actually do anything... same with referendums and renegotiation etc.

This is why if you have to draw a cock with Nigel's head, it is a mighty spunking one - it gets the job done head held high!

If you were to draw Cameron it would be flaccid, weak and useless but easily manipulated by Merkel! biggrin

You might to calm down a bit there before you explode. The election isn't for another 40-something days during which time we'll all hear more than enough serious analysis of all the party positions. In fact we'll be sick to death of them.

If you're a UKIP supporter the above site is a bit of free publicity for UKIP and you know what they say about publicity.

If you're not a UKIP supporter it's a chance to draw silly pictures, which isn't the worst thing in the world.

I agree with Guam,

But Brenflys to suggest that the conservatives condone in ay way this sort of crap is to betray a very short memory. They have been the subject of this sort of attack from the extreme left for decades.

I agree that in this case Farage was more vulnerable because he did not have so much security, but it is not or the Govt to allocate such security, but the police. We deliberately in this country try and restrict political interference in policing. And rightly so in my view. Where politics have got involved with policing I am sure you will agree it hasn't generally been for the better.

Let them carry on Farage seems to be dominating the headlines at the moment while Dave and Ed squabble like petulant school kids in the background as for Clogg, lol, Joey Essex stole his show.

I tried and can't find any evidence of Cameron/Clegg or Milliband condemning the attacks/intimidation on Farage/UKIP. Labour and Conservative MPs tweeted about how funny it was. None were reprimanded publicly if at all.

The fact the conservatives have been the target of this sort of intimidation previously, but don't speak out because it's UKIP makes it worse in my opinion.

Politicising the Police to a greater extent seemed to gather pace under Labour and the introduction of PCCs and direct entry higher management officers by the Conservatives has furthered that goal. The Home Secretary calls the shots and I think they are risking creating a martyr out of Farage because of pettiness or hatred.

I've heard it all now.
Watching Sky news after the Chuka Umunna interview, cut to Mr Farage and his crew and their (only policy) immigration banners, cut to interviews with locals and supporter says: 'there's too many immigrants, and there's going to be more and more because they're having children'.

Despite the use of "they" in the article, para 2 makes it clear that the cyber bullying has come from one person.

Who has done, err, nothing.

So yes, whilst online harassment or whatever you want to call it isn't pleasant, so far this appears to be work of a sole nutter with a keyboard and an internet connection, and appears unlikely to escalate further.

And if you decide to pursue a career as a Brietbart (ie hardcore nutjob website) columnist, perhaps you shouldn't be surprised if you attact some attention from the hardcore nutjobs at the other end of the spectrum. One lot is like catnip to the other, and vice versa.

Hardly Crime of the Century though.

It sounds like some "grassroots" UKIP supporters would like to see immigrants sterilsed. Stay classy, UKIP grassroots supporters!

I'll spell it out for you, slowly.
She seems to think that children born here to immigrant parents are immigrants. There, wasn't too difficult was it?
Seems to be the typical ill educated response from most prospective UKIP voters.

Unfortunately the typical conservative/labour/lib response has been to belittle UKIP voters concerns, or accuse them of being idiots or racists. Whilst clumsily put, if this persons concerns are about the volume of immigration and the ability of infrastructure to cope with the rate of increase in population, then the fact immigrant groups tend to have higher birth rates will actually add to the problem.

I'm a good case in point with an immigrant family background and five kids of my own. When my dad arrived the country was short of unskilled Labour, now it appears we have a surplus, but no ability to reduce immigration from within the EU... unless the country becomes unattractive. Can the country cope with 300000 net migration - if so why do Labour tell Northern working class voters they'll reduce it and the conservatives say it will be reduced to the tens of thousands?
