Ukip has found a sudden surge of support recently from the most unlikely of places.

A small but dedicated group of ‘kippers’ has popped up in Pakistan, and they are firmly behind Mr Farage’s party, despite their many Xenophobic gaffs over the years.

Members of the Royal Disciple Church in Lahore have backed Ukip in the election next month.

According to Pastor Francis Bashir he was drawn to the anti-EU party due to their Christian values and pro-Commonwealth stance.

Videos have emerged of the congregation chanting ‘We love you Sir Nigel Farage’ while surrounded by Ukip promotional posters (please be aware that Nigel Farage has NOT been knighted).

Other posters made by the church read: ‘God made you successful….Our prayers is with you to all members of UKIP(sic).’

The bizarre support is thought to be the result of recent persecution faced by Christian communities in Pakistan.
