Nigel Farage laughed today as he was heckled by a protester who shouted 'you disgust me' in his face.

Ukip supporters pushed a placed in front of the woman's face and one shouted that she should 'jump in the water' during the angry clash at Ramsgate Harbour.

Mr Farage's Brexit battle bus headed to the south east today and the Ukip leader seized upon today's Migration Watch report to warn Britain had to 'get a grip' on immigration.

The Remain campaign have attempted to push Mr Farage front and centre of the Leave effort while the official Vote Leave campaign has kept its distance from the Ukip leader's message.

Mr Farage, campaigning in Ramsgate a year after he fought and lost a Commons seat in the area, said Mr Cameron's 'so-called reforms' on immigration made no difference at all.

And he warned of pressure being piled on Britain's schools, hospitals and infrastructure if immigration numbers continued to rise.

He added that average earnings in the local area were down 10 per cent in real terms, citing an oversupply of low and semi-skilled labour coming into Britain from southern and eastern Europe as a key reason.

Mr Farage said: 'What Migration Watch are telling us is that if migration continues into Britain at current levels, this country will have a population of 80 million by 2040.

'I wonder where are the schools coming from, where are the hospitals coming from, where are the roads coming from?

'What we are saying on the Leave campaign is let's get control, let's get back control of our borders, let's get British passports back, let's have an immigration policy that says we have a points-based system, and we limit the number of people that come.'

Ukip leader Nigel Farage took his battle bus tour to Ramsgate in Kent today but was confronted by a woman who said his views 'disgust' her

During a walkabout in Kent, Mr Farage also met a 38-year-old man, who is struggling to find work, and a transgender woman to discuss Brexit.

Mr Farage told them: 'The only guarantee is that if we vote for Brexit we are back in charge of our country.

'We might get bad governments and we might get good governments, but we will be in charge.'

Migration Watch today warned net migration to Britain would continue to run at more than 250,000 a year for the next two decades even if Turkey does not join the EU.

If Turkey did join, another 100,000 people could come to Britain each year by the early 2030s, the think tank said.

Migrant Watch chairman Lord Green said the findings were a 'final wake up call' about runaway immigration that would see Britain's population his 80 million within 30 years.

Vote Leave champion Boris Johnson has repeatedly demanded David Cameron's Remain campaign spell out its vision for how Britain would adapt to a rapidly growing population if it wins on June 23.

The Ukip leader spoke to people in the street as he continued the campaign stop in Ramsgate, which was a crucial part of the South Thanet constituency he fought and lost at the general election last year

A secret plan to open Britain's borders to 1.5million Turks was revealed yesterday after British diplomats said the move would act as a 'symbolic gesture to Turkey'.

The new research today will reignite the immigration debate at the heart of the referendum battle with just 10 days to go.

Official statistics in May revealing net migration from the EU had returned to record highs turned around the referendum campaign and turned the focus from the economy to borders.

Lord Green said: 'This report is a final wake up call.

'Even leaving aside the prospect of Turkey joining the EU, it shows that net migration could still be running at 265,000 a year in 20 years time.

'This would bring our population to 80 million within 30 years. If we remain in the EU there will be nothing to stop a continuing rapid increase in our population.

'This would change our country for ever against the express wishes of a very large majority of our fellow citizens.'
