Leader of UK Independent Party Nigel Farage today sparked outrage and cries of racism after he referred to US President Barack Obama as a "creature" and "loathsome individual".
The Ukip leader faced a fierce backlash on social media after making the remark while discussing Donald Trump's shock victory in the US Presidential election.
Farage, who advised Donald Trump during the Republican's successful election campaign, in a radio interview said: "That Obama creature - loathsome individual - he couldn't stand our country. He said we'd be at the back of the queue, didn't he? Many couldn't believe their ears when they heard his words."
People took to social media to express their anger at the Ukip politician's remarks with many describing him as "racist".
Gary Lineker, a former footballing legend, led the charge of people who accused Farage of using racist language to attack America's first black President.
