When I see Farage on the television flanked by stony-faced white triumphalists, like a row of extras from Peaky Blinders, I can't help reflecting on the fact that Hitler rose to power through the democratic process.

Those areas are also traditional Labour heartlands in which many of the alienated white working class have started voting UKIP.
