Robert Boaler, who names himself Zebadiah Abu-Obadia, posts hate-filled rap video online, sparking anger

A controversial rapper's video calling for former Ukip leader Nigel Farage to be "beheaded" has sparked widespread anger.

Margate man Robert Boaler, who calls himself Zebadiah Abu-Obadiah, posted a video of his grime music two days ago, with many people retaliating to the extreme remarks in the lyrics.

The song, called Off With Their Heads, calls also refers to former soldier Lee Rigby who was brutally attacked and killed in Woolwich, south east London, some three years ago.

He says: "Chat s*** get Rigby'd" in the video which has been dubbed "disgusting" by some of the comments under the footage on Youtube.

In April, some residents in Thanet also had EU leaflets posted through their doors with offensive wording printed on them and a picture of Mr Rigby.

This three minute 25 second video has been condemned by the Ukip branch of Thirsk and Malton, who have accused the rapper of "making threats in his music".

In the run up to the general election last year he ran against Mr Farage for the South Thanet seat under the name of the Al-Zebabist Nation of OOG party.

But he only managed to generate 30 votes.

Months before the election went ahead, Boaler interrupted a Ukip-organised event with a megaphone, speaking out against his opposition party.
