General Election 2015: The best #UkipFilmTitles on Twitter

By: Catherine Neilan

Add as a preferred source on Google

Ukip may be trying to laugh off the defection of MEP Amjad Bashir to the Tories, as the Yorkshire and Humber representative dubbed the anti-immigration party “pointless” this weekend. 
 
But will Nigel Farage et al find today's #UkipFilmTitles hashtag amusing?
 
And most importantly, with 100 days to go until the General Election, will he have the last laugh?
 
Twitter users certainly found a wide range of topics to joke about, ranging from immigration:

And specifically the EU:

They also took aim at Ukip's position on the political spectrum:

And Farage's penchant for pints:

Or his dress sense:
