Nigel Farage forced to defend himself against violent ‘rent-a-mob’ protesters in Australia

Speaking to Sky News Australia, the former Ukip leader condemned violent protesters harassing Conservative politicians and forcing them to protect themselves with 24/7 security teams. 

, who was in Perth Town Hall on the first leg of his Australian tour on Saturday, was heckled by protesters outside the venue after his speech. 

But the right-wing politician dismantled the basis of his protesters’ complaints as one of the arguments put forward against him was the way the Australian Government had been dealing with aboriginal people’s rights.

He said:  “I’ve had to live nearly 25 years – particularly when I was absolutely at the frontline of national elections and the Brexit campaign – I’ve had to live with security around me the whole time.

“At times it was 24/7 security. They’ve even started attacking the houses of Conservative figures.

“At some point in time, surely, law and enforcement has got to say this is ridiculous.

“I did see a specimen last night of your Australian protesters outside the meeting in Perth Town Hall.

“And just to show you how rational and logical these people are, one of their big protest complaints was the way aboriginal rights had been dealt with.

“As if somehow I’m now guilty for what’s happened to the aborigines when I’ve got clearly nothing to do with it.

“It’s rent-a-mob, it’s anarchistic, it’s anti-democratic.

“People have a right to protest, but people do not have a right to stop other people speaking in a free society.”

During his speech in the Australian townhall, the British MEP insisted on how much Australia will benefit from Britain’s departure from the EU.

He said: “They were all lining up, even Australian politicians, saying that Britain should not vote for Brexit, which struck me as being completely and utterly bizarre.

“Because if there was one repercussion for the world, it is that it will benefit from Brexit.

“We reversed what we did to you in the common market and that will enable us to have closer relations with Britain, Australia and the wider English-speaking world.”

Mr Farage also took the opportunity to praise Donald Trump claiming the US President branded him his “friend for life”.

He said: “I like Trump.

“On that stage in Mississippi, when I came off the podium and shook his hand, he said ‘you will be my friend for life’ and, do you know what, I believe him.”
