The Ukip leader and his family were reportedly chased out of the pub and had to dive into a car, with protestors clinging to the bonnet as they drove off. 

A group of protestors dressed as migrants, HIV activists, gay people, disabled people and breastfeeding mums had gathered outside the Queen's Head in Downe, Kent, today to confront Mr Farage. 

After initially heading to the wrong pub, where Mr Farage had previously been pictured drinking, the protestors burst into the watering hole where the party leader was having lunch with his wife and two children and hounded them out. 

Mr Farage said afterwards: "I hope these 'demonstrators' are proud of themselves. 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."

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.

Protest organiser Dan Glass said that 80 people had "invaded" the pub in protest at Mr Farage's party. 

Mr Glass said: "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.

"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."

Staff at the Queen's Head refused to comment on the episode. 

The nearby George & Dragon - which was originally targeted by the protestors - said the group had initially claimed they were there for a birthday party.
