'Ukip: The First Hundred Days,' airs Monday

Channel 4 drama-documentary Ukip: The First Hundred Days imagines Nigel Farage in power – and Britain in meltdown

Three months into Britain’s first Ukip government, pubs are again filled with cigarette smoke, border guards are forcibly repatriating illegal immigrants, and the streets are filled with violent protests. Prime Minister Nigel Farage is accused of dividing the nation with his “racist” policies.

This is the provocative scenario played out in a “plausible” Channel 4 drama-documentary, Ukip: The First Hundred Days, which imagines the effect on Britain of a Ukip win in May.

Produced by the team behind the “disaster” film Blackout, which explored the effects of a cyber-attack on Britain’s electricity grid, the Ukip film combines archive footage and scripted drama to depict civil unrest as the party tries to enact its policies.

Some were even complaining about the show before it was aired. I didn't watch it myself but it does go to show how easy it is to wind up these people.
