Nigel Farage calls Scottish Protesters Fascist Scum

Having been escorted away from Scottish nationalist protesters in the back of a riot van yesterday, Nigel Farage took to the Today programme this morning to describe those who harangued him in an Edinburgh pub as:“fascist scum filled with total and utter hatred of the English” 

Despite a string of UKIP candidates exposed as racists and homophobes, Farage had the brass neck to complain that some facets of Scottish nationalism were “deeply unpleasant”.

True to form, one of UKIP’s own candidates has been on hand to call the Scots “tartan turds” and demand that one London-based Scot should “go home”.
