News article: London protesters 'chase UKIP leader Farage out of pub'

Anti UKIP protesters have invaded a pub in South London where party leader Nigel Farage was having lunch with his family. The protest organiser Dan Glass said the group was in fancy dress to stage a 'cabaret of diversity'. Some of the costumes were migrants, HIV activists, gay people, disabled people and breastfeeding mothers. They surrounded his car as he left the pub.

I think this was a good way to get publicity onto this situation. They staged a protest to capture the public eye and because of this they are now all over the news, becoming a 'top story' on BBC News and therefore have the publicity they wanted and needed from this protest.

  1. The content for this article is very brief, i think you could let people know more about the situation to help them understand it better. It's good you used your opinion so people know how you feel about the situation. You could have added current political affairs between this party and other parties, so we can further understand the situation.
