Nigel Farage has furiously hit out at Channel 4 after a satire shows a spoof of him shot in the head during a speech on immigration.

The Brexit Party and former UKIP leader, 55, branded Year Of The Rabbit 'totally sick and frankly irresponsible' after it emerged they will kill off 'Neil Fromage' on tomorrow night's show.

The series, which first aired on June 10 and stars Bodyguard actress Keeley Hawes, will play the clip in the upcoming fourth episode - but it is already available on Sky.

Mr Farage told the Daily Star Sunday: 'I think with Channel 4 we have reached a point where they are so partisan politically in everything they do that they now consistently go beyond what's acceptable.'

Martin Daubney, Brexit Party MEP for the West Midlands, added to the Daily Express: 'In the interest of political and editorial balance, I look forward to Channel 4's characterisation of Jeremy Corblimey – a militant Communist who is ritually drowned in a vat of muesli while singing the Red Flag.

'Which won't ever happen, as only those from the 'right' are considered fair game by liberal comics.'

A spokesman for Channel 4 said in a statement: 'Year of the Rabbit is a purposefully outrageous and heightened comedy set in Victorian era London featuring exaggerated and ridiculous fictional characters and in this context it is clear to viewers that the actions of these characters - be they grave robbers, murderous historical preservation enthusiasts or serial killer politicians – are preposterous and not to be taken seriously.'

It comes after Mr Farage was left outraged by comedienne Jo Brand when suggested on a Radio 4 panel show that protesters should throw acid instead of milkshakes at right wing politicians.

Nigel Farage said that Brand's remarks on the comedy panel show amount to hate speech and has called for the police to intervene. It came after Jo Brand (pictured) joked on Radio 4's Heresy that battery acid was a better option than milkshake for throwing at Brexiteers

Nigel Farage called Jo Brand an 'overpaid, left wing, so-called comedian' as the backlash against the comedian intensified

Mr Farage accused the 61-year-old of 'inciting violence' and called on the police to act after her comments on an episode of Heresy earlier this month.

He and fellow right-wing politicians, including Tommy Robinson and Carl Benjamin, have been targeted during a spate of milkshake attacks.

Brand's remarks triggered an angry backlash and there were calls for her to be axed by the BBC.
