Nigel Farage and his family have been chased out of a pub in Greater London and had their car attacked by childish, Left-wing thugs demonstrating against the UK Independence Party (Ukip)
The Ukip leader labelled the demonstrators, who were dressed as migrants and breastfeeding mothers, “scum” this afternoon and said his two children had yet to return after the family got split amid the hostility at the Queen's Head pub in the pretty village of Downe in the London Borough of Bromley, right on the southeastern edge of the capital.
Mr Farage said his children were so scared they had to hide from the protesters and criticised them for using force to make their point.
Dozens of demonstrators initially went into the George and Dragon, where Mr Farage has previously been pictured having a drink, before realising he was in the other pub nearby.
Downe, which is now near the London/Kent border, is where Charles Darwin lived from 1842 until his death in 1882 when the village was in Kent.
This is not the first time an anti-democratic Left-wing rent-a-mob has hounded Mr Farage. In May 2013, he was hounded by a group of Scottish nationalist thugs in Edinburgh.

Nigel Farage and his family have been chased out of a pub in London and had their car attacked by protesters demonstrating against the UK Independence Party (Ukip).
The Ukip leader labelled the demonstrators “scum” on Sunday afternoon and said his two children had yet to return after the family got split amid the hostility.
Mr Farage said his children were so scared they had to hide from the protesters and criticised them for using force to make their point.

The protestors, who dressed as migrants and breastfeeding mothers to express their opposition to Ukip, sent messages to journalists boasting of jumping on Mr Farage’s car bonnet.
Dozens of demonstrators initially went into the George and Dragon, where Mr Farage has previously been pictured having a drink, before realising he was in the other pub nearby.
The protestors claimed to have gone into the Queen's Head, chased the Farages out and then jumped on the Ukip leader's car bonnet as he drove away.
Mr Farage is understood to have been with his wife and two younger children at the Queen's Head in Downe when the incident took place.
Mr Farage's children with current wife Kirsten are Victoria and Isabelle, thought to be aged 15 and 10 respectively. He also has two grown up children from his previous marriage.

"I hope these 'demonstrators' are proud of themselves,” Mr Farage said afterwards.
"My children were so scared by their behaviour that they ran away to hide. At the time of writing this a relative has gone to look for them, and they are not yet at home. These people are scum."
Staff at the Queen's Head refused to comment on the episode, while the George & Dragon said protesters had initially claimed they were there for a birthday party.
Protest organiser and HIV activist Dan Glass said the group was in fancy dress and included “migrants, HIV activists, gay people, disabled people and breastfeeding mums”.
“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 onto immigrants they have let the bankers off the hook,” Mr Glass said, justifying the group’s actions.
“That is why so many diverse communities have taken our cultures to the heart of where they exist - Nigel Farage's local pub. We will not succumb to their prejudice. We will create the world we want to live in. A world beyond UKIP.”

Ukip is understood to have requested taxpayer-funded security for Mr Farage during the election campaign amid fears that he is regularly being targeted by protesters.
