Is this true? Its hitting the international media
Breitbart
UK Telegraph
Needless to say not yet mentioned in Guardian
What has happened to British reputation for free speech and respect for others opinions?
These animals should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves behaving like pre-adolescents. There is a time and a place for everything and the time and place is not a guy having a quiet Sunday lunch with his family.
It appears to be no longer safe to express differing opinions. If these "low-lives" dont like Farage or UKIP they shouldnt vote for them that is the purpose of the election.
Poor Britain!!!

His party's free speech includes things like saying Salmond & Sturgeon should be strung from lamp-posts, disabled children should be euthanised He courts and creates this type of publicity, I wouldn't believe anything he says in the slightest

International report www.breitbart.com/Farage is a rabble rouser, unfortunately ( for him anyways) the roused rabble doesn't always agree with him............... He fancies himself as a bit of a mixture of Enoch Powell and Oswald Moseley

Yeah he probably does. My own feelings are that whoever wins your election the result is going to be a disaster. No my point being IF the reports are true any low-lives that frighten 2 young kids to such an extent that they flee in absolute terror of their lives deserve a good kicking. I asked if the reports were true as I didnt believe that would happen in England but the sources were reputable This may be interesting James Delingpole in Breibart www.breitbart.com/london/2015/03/23/as-farage-has-just-been-reminded-theres-no-fascist-like-a-liberal-fascist/

Regarding farage's supporters suggesting sturgeon and salmon should be strung up, well, I do not think farage would say that, his supporters would, some anyway, however all parties have supporters who talk utter rubbish. Mind you if it was said that to string up any muslim MP There would be hell to pay and arrests made. Showing again the different way law is interpretated to suit POLITICIANS. and PC TWUNTS.

It was the new MEP for UKIP IN Scotland who said it, Farage condoned it by not even slapping the wrist of the wanker, when it was complained about

As I wrote farage did not say it. He is the bogeyman for all four main parties now, yet there are plenty in the other parties that are every bit as bad and worse. He has a lot of support from people fed up with the EU and those who live in areas where they are now the white settlers. These people are neither racist, islamophobic nor bad people, they just feel that the main parties do not represent them and they feel betrayed, therefore they PROTEST by voting for U KIP. Some of the U KIP ARE racist and hate every coloured person regardless of religion, however they are I would suggest in the minority. I have written this before, I recently had to visit some English towns that are predominately muslim and I spoke to a number of people over a period of time and realised a lot of them are very, very concerned and I realised we in Scotland were very lucky at the tiny number of muslims living up here, as down south they are exceptionally voiciferous demanding sharia law and refusing white people to pass areas with alcohol if a mosque was in the area. A huge amount of work by both sides is needed if serious violence is to be avoided as it felt like constant tension in some areas, in fact with the Policeman I was with we were assured there were areas we should not visit. All this is being ignored by the media, downplaying it for political reasons. Burying their head in the sand blaming each other and meanwhile both sides are getting less and less tolerant of each other. Sad.

It doesn't sit well with me that anyone thinks it's a great idea to terrorise a family seemingly off-duty in that way. In my view, no child should have to be accountable for their parent's (albeit inflammatory) views. That said though. Nigel Farage is no political ingenue. Just perhaps he counted on making political capital out of exposing his family in public when others, especially in the heat of election campaigns, might have been a little more considerate for their welfare? I feel hellish sorry for his children. On so many levels.

The thing is I look at it from an Antipodean angle.
Our pollies are left alone when "off-duty" Howard used to go for a 3 mile walk every morning when at home (Kirribilli on the harbour) and was never accosted by demonstrators and didnt expect to be. Same with "celebrities" they are largely ignored when "off-duty" So it seems to us to be extremely nasty when that happens probably more so than to you.
PS When Howard was in Vienna on some conference or othere he was out for his morning walk when he ran into a bunch of Oz School girls on a trip. He stopped to chat to them and was instantly surrounded by them with no nastiness just pleasantness all round however he did turn down the offer of a cherry from one of the girls
Totally different slant on life than in UK

Everything is SO much better, and SO fucking exemplary in Australia. Zzzzzz.. Maybe because your pollies come in various shades of vanilla. Hereabouts we challenge extreme views, such as Farage's. He and his ilk are dangerous nutjobs. Doesn't it strike you as odd, Oz, that the press are tipped off about his every movement, on duty and off? And conveniently pitch up to cover the shit he brings upon himself and his largely innocent family? Or should we be appeasing him, like *we* did the Hitler regime in the 30s, do you think? The guy puts himself out there with his extreme views: he's up for all the publicity he can get and is not above putting his own kin in the firing line. I imagine that reports of his kids *fleeing in terror* are just perhaps a tad exaggerated. Somehow. But call me cynical.

No not better ....different. No better, no worse just different. Our lifestyle suits us and yours suits you I see UK as an observer. It is an alien country to me and I find it fascinating seeing the differences and they are many now. Some things I think are fantastic others, to me, are dreadful but thats the same everywhere not just UK. and frankly apart from the "human interest" I dont give a damn for any of your politics or politicians. UK is no longer important to us . I am just saddened that a once great country seems to be deteriorating but of course my opinion comes from reading the "wrong" newspapers so dismount using a step ladder and relax I wont discuss Oz politics at moment other than to say I have just voted and polls close at 6 so will be watching for results to see which Vanilla party has won

A 'once-great country'? That implies a terminal decline that bears no resemblance to how things are in Scotland. Perhaps you mean the UK--- or more specifically successive post-war Westminster governments and the tiny elite that hold all the power and wealth? "A once-great country?" Are you lamenting the loss of Empire or what? Are we talking the historical arrogance of the UK in Imperial times where *we ruled* by imposing our values on countries all over the world--trampling other cultures underfoot in the relentless pursuit of profit and power? Are we talking the UKE's ever-ready willingness to send our young people in the forces to meddle in other people's wars as cannon fodder, just to protect rich people's assets that they and theirs will never share in? Listen up. Scotland is just NOT INTERESTED in being a world power, Oz. That's best left to the Little Englanders. In the main, we just want to live in and contribute to an equitable, fair society where our work ethic is key and properly rewarded, and where the very able majority willingly take care of those vulnerable, sick and less able. And when we're talking immigrants, remind me . What proportion of the Australian population of 20 million are just that since the 1890s.
