Nigel Farage Is Upset by Student Team's UKIP Parody Game UKIK

UKIP leader Nigel Farage is upset about a free Android game called UKIK made by 18-year-old students that parodies him and his party.

UKIK has you playing as Nicholas Fromage as he kicks stereotypes of immigrants off the white cliffs of Dover and into the sea.

You tap the screen to power up your kick, and tap again in order to release, then watch as the immigrant you kicked sails through the air.

There are three measurements for your kick in the game. Distance and Score are obvious ones, while the third is "UK Economy Down," which is measured in a rising percentage.

More telling of the game's political slant is what the Score measurement was before an update saw it changed - it measured Racism.

Farage saw the game before the update swapped out the Racism measure and spoke to the Kentish Gazette about it.

"Those elements are risible and in many ways pathetic. I think I'm quite well known for having a sense of humour," Farage said.
"I'm a public figure and of course people are going to have views. But elements of this game appear to cross the line."

UKIK was made by students as part of a technology class at Canterbury Academy.
On the game's Google Play page, the students describe themselves a "a team of developers who create games based upon controversial news stories for the purposes of entertainment and to encourage political discussion amongst young people.

They also add that the "purpose of [UKIK] is to highlight the importance of a diverse culture for our great nation as well as make a mockery of extremist views."
Farage said that he welcomed their opinions and wouldn't look to stifle their criticism.
"Fair play to them for having a bit of fun," Farage added.  "If they want to go away and look at UKIP policies, they will actually learn a lot."
