Channel 4 was last night accused of anti-democratic ´fear-mongering´ for airing a controversial drama about what life would be like with Nigel Farage as Prime Minister.

UKIP: The First Hundreds Days painted a highly-critical vision of Britain under UKIP rule, including a country divided by race riots, mass unemployment and a crashing economy.

Channel 4 said it ordered the drama - which lampooned UKIP, its leaders and its supporters - as a way of engaging people in politics in the run-up to the May General Election.

"Channel 4 said it ordered the drama - which lampooned UKIP, its leaders and its supporters - as a way of engaging people in politics in the run-up to the May General Election."

Yeah, right. It was a hit job designed to influence the election in a very specific way, not just to "engage people in politics."

Right up there with other propaganda gems like “Der Ewige Jude”.

They could have just as easily made this one -

LABOUR: The First Hundreds Days painted a highly-critical vision of Britain under Labour rule, including a country divided by race riots, mass unemployment and a crashing economy.

Same words...:^)

UKIP is the party of the working people and small business while the Conservative and Labour parties are the parties of the elites and special interests who want cheap labor and subservience to the European Union.......

Meanwhile, if they had made ISLAM: the first hundred days, about an Islamic party taking power, there would have been executions for racism.

The only way UKIP will cause any of that is if the vote split allows Labour to win. **** you channel 4.
