A man who was in the pub, invaded by anti-UKIP protesters while Nigel Farage was eating lunch, has described it as 'harassment.' James Lumley, who was eating with his 5-year-old daughter at the time, told 5 live "It was a pretty noisy protest. I saw Farage at the beginning, having drinks with his family at the front of the pub when I was ordering. Then a few minutes later huge noise outside; someone was playing 'We Are Family' by Sister Sledge on a huge sound system and lots of people came rushing through both doors. Then lots of shouts, someone screaming 'I'm breastfeeding my baby.' Then the manageress asked them to leave politely but firmly and the music just carried on." He told Stephen Nolan here was then "a bit of a scuffle and then somebody started screaming 'Get your hands off me' in a very aggressive way. They were chasing him out, so that's what happened, lots of noise, lots of kerfuffle." James also admitted he felt sorry for Mr Farage: "It looked like a bunch of people running into a private business and harassing someone in front of his children. It was harassment. They weren't trying to debate a point with him."
