Speaking to Sky News on Tuesday, Kyle said: “We have people out there who are extreme pornographers, peddling hate, peddling violence. Nigel Farage is on their side.
“Make no mistake about it, if people like Jimmy Savile were alive today, he’ll be perpetrating his crimes online. And Nigel Farage is saying that he’s on their side.
“Nigel Farage is on the side of turning the clock back to the time when strange adults, strangers can get in touch via messaging apps with children.
“Absolutely, no doubt about it, people are perpetrating more crime online, more danger to children online. And Nigel Farage has said he wants to overturn every single one of the laws that keeps children safe in our country.”
Savile, who was a well-known media personality until his death in 2011, took advantage of his fame to sexually abuse hundreds of people, including children.
Farage hit back, slamming Kyle’s comments as “disgusting” and demanding an apology.
