But the Reform leader. claimed the undercover filming by Channel 4 News had been a "complete and total set-up".

Andrew Parker was filmed using the vile term as he campaigned in Clacton, Essex, where Mr Farage is standing.

He also said migrants making dangerous Channel crossings should be used as "target practice".

Another canvasser described the Pride and suggested that flag as "degenerate" members of the LGBT community were paedophiles.
